Buying or downloading? - FTP-Anime Forums

Feniks · 02-04-2006, 04:30 PM

So, do you guys (and girls) buy your anime, or do you download it? It would be nice if you also tell us why you download/buy it.

I absolutely download nothing, I only buy it. The problem with that is that now I don't have any money left anymore, so I can't buy as much as when I download it. But I buy it so I can take it with me, and it looks way cooler than when you download it. I suppose those are my reasons for buying and not downloading. Ow, I almost forgot: now I can lend other people my manga too, instead of making them download files. I'll be looking forward to your reactions.

well i buy the manga if i have the chance but since i rarely go to the booksotre(too far away) so i mostly download it since there are no other ways to read manga. also my friends really dont know about mangas and animes they are more into sports

That's very funny, since I went to Sweden on hollidays, and I found myself like 3 major anime stores

. And Rjd, you could also hire me in order to get the manga's you need ;).

I already hired you to take care of my site

so no I won't bother u with that.

Well depends on how much the price is really. The most shops in my area (Antwerp - Belgium) are quite expensive so... But when there is an anime in discount that I really like I'll buy it. But I don't but them for looks but rather for sponsoring the creators...

I buy my manga at the comic book store here. I even have a box set up with the titles that I've been getting

I like having the books instead of reading it online. I have FMA on my computer but I haven't bothered to read it yet because my eyes get strained when I look at the screen too long

But I'm also a collector so having the books is nice!

i prefer download it when the series is faster via download, but for some manga that i'll add to my collection i prefer buy it of course.
