I meant AMVs there, not fansubs... -_-

I've not bought Cowboy Bebop though it's been 4 years since I've seen it... twas' is my shame and my curse

No, but I buy most subs I liked, you know, if I consider them rewatchable (and it helps when their not on TV! Curse you Bebop!!) like Escaflowne, Chobits, Ai Yori Aoshi, even Robotech ;p.
PS though all those are shonen (girly if I'm translating right -_-) I'M NOT A GIRL!! Just sensitive

Its a wonderful way (I think) to support your favorite(s) anime and increase its support/fan base.
BTW.....
**Free advertising and publicity!! That, my friends is the American way!!

I am proud to say, the absoluteley ONLY way I found out about Princess 9 was through an AMV -_-.
*is proud

There are dubbed tapes? Where? Are you talking about home-recordings of the broadcasts?

Except for the movie, I haven't been able to find Digimon on any type of R1 media. So please, do tell.

Dubbed tapes - US licensed releases of the dubbed (english language) version of Digimon. You can buy them at most malls. You can *also* buy the dub on dvd online.

For Japanese the only way to get a copy of Digimon with subtitles is to download the fansubs online - and yes, they're still being distributed since the US companies refuse to subtitle and distribute the Japanese version (just like Yugioh).

You *can* get raws of Digimon in Japanese - official imports, but you won't get subtitles so if you don't speak Japanese, you're screwed.

if fansubs are to promote anime... is it really necessary to sub all the eps.... i'm pretty sure just the few set of eps is ok... but that's just me

Ok, I've only looked at the first two pages of this thread and I can already say that I buy lots and lots of anime, mainly because of fansubs. I want high quality versions of the animes I've watch from downloadable fansubs and to assume fansubs decrease sales seems so foolish. I also buy lots of anime because of AMVs as well. And as a AMV creator I want high quality footage, so buying the anime instead of using downloadable fansubs seems like the nicer choice. So thats one way AMVs promote sales. A lot of us creators are hungry for footage so we go out and buy DVDs.
