FlyingPika Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Before u ppls start bashing me about ethics, i hate having 24 episodes on 8 discs, it takes up huge space in the my cases, and the cost is ridiculous. Im actually thinking of selling my orginal eva's dvds and buying some bootlegs. Anyway, since paypal isnt availble to south africa, i have a hard time paying for stuff on ebay, and kinda have to use online shops. So if any1 knows a good place to buy this stuff please do share!!! And btw i do like to have the option of eng dub if availble. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JELEINEN Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Ethics aside, I think there is a chance that posting links to such places could get the owners of this board in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the white drew carey Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Why, so its ok to recast kits to make them accesible, but with dvds its a no-no?If the orginals where on 3 discs and decently priced i would buy them. Wait a second, you ask people not to bang about ethics, and then bring it up again yourself? As to recasting kits? Most people here DO have a problem with recasting readily available kits. It's when a kit is terribly scarce (ie- limited run, OOP, etc.), to the point when even if you do find it, the price is unbearable, where recasting becomes a viable alternative. Even then there are some who have issues with recasting no matter what. The problem you seem to have is that you're cheap ("cost is ridiculous") and concerned about space ("it takes up huge space in the my cases"). Anime never has been, nor will it probably ever be, a cheap hobby. On that note, it's not terribly hard to perform a simple Google search to locate a plethora od bootleg sellers. The most difficult part will be finding one willing to ship to South Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the only viable option. I just think its werid u can post about hobbyfan.com but not a dvd bootleg site... Well i enjoy anime, but in south africa, its unheard of. And my 3kbs connection takes abit of time dl anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I fel obliged to point out that the bootlegs are lower-quality. Over-compressed video, bad translations, and a fried got a "complete set" that dropped the final episode to make it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rogers Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I fel obliged to point out that the bootlegs are lower-quality. Over-compressed video, bad translations, and a fried got a "complete set" that dropped the final episode to make it fit. Doesn't sound too bad compared to a set that was missing a chunk of episodes in the middle and had "repeat" episodes in their place instead.

But yah... bootleggers don't really care if the product is as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
