Yeah! I like reading it online but I still purchase the manga and buy the anime box sets. Like I said before I want to see Sakura's confession in english version.

You can watch online Dub's (English), just go to a website like Dub Happy.com They come out quicker online than the DVD release.

Viz started requesting to remove some mature mangas and 'alliterate' the inappropriate pictures.. D: Claymore is one of them, as well as two other shojou manga (that I'm aware of) and High school of the Dead. I can't believe it. COME ON VIZ! mad.gif

They must be very dumb to think they can stop people from uploading raw mangas to the internet it's the same thing with downloading a music album online for free or copying songs to your Ipod without buying them online. There are THOUSANDS of sites where you can download music for free so I bother and ask will people be stupid enough to spend .99 cents buying a song then free. It's the same thing with the manga.

I buy music for $0.99 because those free sites are illegal and could give me viruses.

Soulseek doesn't have any viruses that's why I have 6,245 songs on my itunes library without spending a penny. smile.gif

It's more like file sharing that's how it works everyone share all kinds of files from music, movies, videos etc.

Believe me, I wasn't really worried. And if it only applies to "mature" manga, I doubt that'll hold much water as well. This internet craze is too big to be contained with something like that. Everyone loves sharing stuff and everyone loves getting stuff for free.

Hell, I would start a no profit dvd rental place out of my own house, if I really had the time. Heck, there is a guy at my job that does that now. I mean, people do that for music, video games, movies, anime, books, all types of stuff. So when there are millions of people that love sharing all these different medias, how can you really bottle up something like that?

I buy all my music, and all my anime (Naruto) from iTunes... I buy all my Manga at Barnes & Nobles... Sure, I read them FIRST online but I do buy them after. I wouldn't have even bought the Manga at all if I didn't see online first. I wouldn't have bought my Shippuden episodes if I didn't see them online first (I saw original on t.v)

>.> Sure... It's piracy, but if Manga's weren't online I guarentee I would be "What the heck is Manga...?" but I'm
in love with them :,) So... Oh, well! I tried. If they take them offline then, hm... Their sales would be down. Pff... They can't take it offline anyways. No matter what it's gonna end up online. Who's to say that someone wouldn't post it online once they have English copies? American's can play the same game >P

It's funny, it's not even just an american vs. japanese or japanese vs. american. A whole bunch of countries do. I mean you can get manga/anime in spanish, polish, french, chinese, german...a whole bunch of countries. And they all pirate. I mean it's a global phenomenon.

Yeah. Unless they have Manga C.I.A in every country with super-computers I doubt Manga, or anyother thing like music, will be put offline for good. It's a small world with a LOT of people.

Posted 28 April 2010 - 02:26 AM

If this is true, then NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I don't mind buying manga- heck I buy it all the time. I'd just rather not buy all of Naruto because: A.) I have most of the anime.
B.) I like to read the manga free, just to see what's up ahead and filler free.
If this really happens, then
