LoL, nah I did not realize that... I usually watch the crap off Cartoon Network and since I can not make every weeks showing I just get the series off Netflix...

Yeah I suck at spelling :-( Thanks for catching my mistake 🙂 Also where do you download it legally?

if its not licenced in the US for distro its LEGAL to download, the Japanese copmpanys dont care, it actually helps them to have fansubbers, with them their viewing audiance is a million times larger

some anime is very good, and has more depth than you would expect.

its far better then any of the sh!t they spew out on network TV in this country
 
if a friend recomends an anime series, I'll download an episode to check it out, and if I like it, I'll go about seeing how I can legally purchase it (netflix, amazon, etc), and if not, I'll download as much as I can.

I like to avoid those crappy fansubs whenever I can, though.

fansubs are FAR better then any Dub

and many times translations on the fan subs are better then the subs on the DVDS

That's like saying candy coated poop is better than plain poop.
 
berne treaty

even if it's unlicensed, it's still technically illegal to download it. but most japanese companies turn a blind eye to it since it usually helps get stuff licensed. but there have been several occasions where the japanese companies have had fansubbers stop subbing/distributing a unlicensed series.
