I'm going to have to agree with everyone else here.
I have loads of anime i've downloaded, but if something ive really enjoyed is released (like Kono Mini) i'll buy it. For several reasons:
First. I like to show my support for the actors and creators of the show by purchasing it. Since thats the only way they find out how good a show is, when the fans support it buying it.
Second. I almost always go for the collectors editions, since they have extras, like interviews with cast members, extra episodes (both wind and dears are going to be released on dvd with extra episodes), not to mention previews of up coming new shows, fan art, and dvd rom extras.
Fansubbing is great, and a lot of groups have gotten better over the years and are almost on the pro level. But they arent official. Fan sub groups bring us a look at the good shows, they do the best they can and we get some good shows. It's our duty as fans to support the shows we love and enjoy. Otherwise we're nothing more than leeches, and giving justification to companies who complain about fan sub groups.
I'm not saying go out and buy every release, what i'm saying is support the shows you like. Buy buying the DVD's your funding further productions. Without the fans support shows like Kono Mini and KGNE would never happen. Remember that.
