Phantom Roxas Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Aniplex licensed the show, and the home video release is in four days. I removed the link so that you can buy it and support the official release.Here you go! http://www.killlakill.com/blu-ray_dvd/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Why pay like 20 bucks for the DVD when anime dub sites let you watch it for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Why pay like 20 bucks for the DVD when anime dub sites let you watch it for free? Why buy a game when I can Pirate it? Why buy a Strategy Guide when I can use GameFAQ's? Why purchase a Music CD if I can Pirate it? Believe me the most hardcore fans will still lap the Anime up regardless and support the company (Heck even I went out and purchased the complete Series of Groove Adventure Rave on DVD once I watched it on the net) EDIT: Oh and just to let you know, sometimes the company requests a Take Down of the series if it is Licensed. One of my Animes I hold dearest to my heart (Pita Ten) has still not been licnesed yet. I would buy the crap out of it if it was ever on DVD.... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pita-Ten-6DVDS-Japan-BCBA-4254/dp/B005CMQ5UK I stand corrected! No English Subs though.....

Tentacruel Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 $240 total? Eh, not quite as much as most Aniplex releases, but still not even close to being worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Aniplex's prices are stupid, yes, but at the very least, you can legally own the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 And they put it up to see if you want to buy it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Who's "they"? Aniplex? Are you saying that the illegal site you linked to was provided the episode by Aniplex? Why would they do that? If they were to release the first episode for free, why would they put it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 There's pretty much no excuse to pirate anything these days (at least in the US or Canada), but it's still hard to chastise people for jacking Aniplex releases. Still, if I want to watch any of their stuff, I'll just go to Crunchyroll and deal with subs, even though I really want Fate Zero in English.

And In put the link up there so people can watch it for free any time. And If the people like it, then they can buy it. It stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 $60 for four episodes? All the anime DVDs I own were in the $20 range when they were new. Heck, Tekkaman Blade ran me up like $60-80 for the full 50+ episode series and all three TV specials. Why pay like 20 bucks for the DVD when anime dub sites let you watch it for free? If you want to pirate in the privacy of your own basement, that's on you. But, advocating for others on the internet to pirate is pure douchebaggery. You're telling people to take money from these companies, and if they decide not to license future dubs because piracy, you won't get the right to have an opinion on the matter because you're the problem. I'm all for pirating anime that isn't being sold by companies anymore (ex: VHS-era stuff from the 90's,) but pirating recently-dubbed anime that a company wants to make money off of is immoral and disrespectful to the voice-actors and staff behind dubbing it. Yes, you are pissing on Lisa Ortiz and Johhny Yong Bosch when you pirate their recent works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 No, it is illegal. The unfortunate truth about the Internet is that you can pirate things on it, and it's also possible that Aniplex just needs time to find the site before they take it down. Unless you have multiple sources confirming that the site is a legitimate place for the official dub to be hosted, I will stand by what I said.

And If the people like it, then they can buy it. It stays. I am done. I am sorry but I am done.... Not illegal you say? If the Anime is licensed and is released in America then it IS Illegal to view said Anime online. Until that time then by all means enjoy it. I appriciate the fact that people do upload a ton of Anime for me and everyone else to enjoy but the moment I hear that a ANime is coming out Dubbed on DVD, I don't watch it online. The UK is a bit more lenient on Piracy but I don't want someone knocking at my door demanding that I go to court for watching illegal material. You are encouraging people to Pirate which is just plain wrong. Also you have gone against a Mod by reposting the Link again. Congratulations on that.....

Phantom Roxas Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Oh, didn't notice he reposted the link. Thanks, J-Max!Given how this thread has devolved into calling out Astro Dude on encouraging piracy, and because he'll just edit the link back in again, I'm locking this thread.
