I buy some but it isn't so very much manga to buy here in Norway, so I download most of my manga

Like I do

I put all my moneyy and time in the site

I would buy anime and manga when I find it interesting at the spur of the moment. Also when I'm searching the web and I find something I want, I'll trie to get it as quick as possible via download

I bought the complete Chobits serie, and have 2 Bleach manga. I download scanlated Elfen Lied Manga, and that's it.

well I buy all my manga. I hate downloaded manga, really crappy quality compared to the book form.

Also I do a lot of things outside (fishing, camping, drives, etc) so it's a lot better to be able to take it with you.

Well, yah, as the previous posts would have it: It depends on the price. Then, on how badly I want the anime. Of course, you weigh both. I'm actually applying the rule of economics here (no mtter how much I twisted it) 'If the marginal benefit exceeds the marginal cost , buy it. If Otherwise, then don't."

I really have not much money with me, and there aren't much anime stores near my locality (if not, at all), so I don't have much resource. I would have loved online shopping, but I have no mony to spend nor credit card to use. So, really, I'm pathetic. But I don't make it a habit of downloading mangas. Reading it from the PC kinda hurts my already-damaged eyes.

...If only I could, then I would most definitely buy the original manga! *smile*

So, I can conclude that most here don't buy anime, because it costs too much money, unless they really really want it.......then how about this, IF you had more money, would you then buy it?

DevilishEyes · 10-06-2006, 03:49 AM

Of course I would buy more... But I would buy different stuff too, of course. Some anime, like Elfen Lied ;). And I guess more cd's...

Mostly I buy the manga...I don't think it's nice to read on the pc, I like to have something in my hands and read it then. I download most of the anime though. It's easy and cheap, that's why.
