>>103638Holy fucking retarded kid detected. Why the fuck would you PAY for something of inferior quality and presentation that results in an inferior viewing experience, instead of downloading something for FREE with superior quality and presentation that results in a superior viewing experience???? How do you not understand something so fundamental?? Just how new are you to anime? That's the basics of watching anime. How it's been for over 20 years now (ever since we stopped needing to buy VHS tapes). And now we've got such super high speed internet and so much drive space that we can download anime in exceptionally high quality (there's much less need now for compressing to small 200mb-300mb filesizes per ep) and even download lossless remuxes of DVDs and BDs, so nowadays it's EVEN MORE illogical to buy anime. I bet you're 13-16 years old or something like that, and a phonetoddler who lacks a PC to play high quality video on.
Buy a BD:
>you're limited to some sһitty stock subtitles that look boring and might have lots of errors in them or have weird/awkward translation quirks, and which don't contain cool and useful translations of text details shown in the anime (stuff translated other than dialogue)>you're limited to whatever audio track they chose to include, which usually isn't the best one>you're limited to the video quality of that particular BD release; other BDs might look better (sometimes the BD is worse-looking than an older DVD release and the BD is just an upsize of the DVD with sharpening applied resulting in lots of ringing artifacts and/or there's been smoothing applied that crushes details)>takes longer time to play, you have to insert a physical disc; the whole playback experience is more cumbersome and slowerDownload a BDremux (or just a super high quality release custom muxed in the same ways):
>you get nice fanmade subtitles that look great and have been gone over with immense care to make their timing spot on and accuracy as good as possible, often Jap text shown onscreen is translated in subs that appear next to or overlayed onto that text>you either get tons of audio options enabling you to pick whatever audio track from whatever release you want, or you get just one or two tracks but they're the best available in the world and superior to the tracks supplied on the BD (the BDremux audio tracks may be sourced from a different BD or from some DVD or LD release), and sometimes the BDremux is from a BD of superior image quality than the BD for sale in your country (for example an Italian BD release might have better image quality than a US one, or a Jap BD might have better image quality than either but the audio on the American BD is the best: in whatever scenario, the maker of the BDremux often has sourced the best quality video from one BD and the best quality audio from another BD and muxed them together)>you can play the anime instantly at any time just dropping an episode file into a media player, send the files to friends, and use the files to make webmsPicrel = case-in-point. Currently the best release of Cowboy Bebop. That release gives you ALL THOSE OPTIONS and gives you the original Cowboy Bebop audio mix which ISN'T AVAILABLE on the physical BD. So if you buy the BD you get a vastly inferior Cowboy Bebop experience. You're cucking yourself for no fucking reason other than being able to say "ummm i hav le fysical kopy, im not poor" like a dumb NPC plebbitor while looking like an absolute retard.
