Oh, in response to something MMM said...I know for a fact, that if I hadn't been pointed out to watch Suzimiya Haruhi no Yuutsu as a fansub (way before it was even thought of to be licensed), I probably wouldn't have even known about it, like a lot of "newer" series. I'm more of a manga person and keep up with those, not necessarily anime, and seeing as I'm pretty much the only one around her who likes the stuff, 'cept for one other person I know of, it's easy for me not to know of stuff. I just found out from this person that there's a newer Slayers series out now. He watches the fansubs of it, but knowing him, he'll probably get them on DVD when (or if) it comes out.
I still feel that fansubs can be a good thing. It does make wanting to own it helpful and I figured that most would buy it, if possible, anyway. I still would like to buy and own the Deathnote anime someday since I enjoyed watching its fansub a year, or so, ago.Makes sense in theory. I'm not a big anime fanatic, but, I will admit, I do watch Naruto online since I started with it before it ever had a dub. For that, it's more of a habit to watch anyway. I don't like its dub much, but at the same time, I don't like the series enough to ever want to own it.
I know years ago, I used to watch fansubs of Inuyasha, but once it got a dub, I'd tape those episodes and watch them, up to a point (same with the fansubs), since I actually grew bored of the series.
That aside, you do seem right here. It does seem to be about the same; watching a fansub of a series or just waiting a year, or so, to watch it in our home countries on television, but even then, there's no guarantee it'll end up on television in the first place.
