@Envy:
But you know some people are so obsessed with video quality that they don't actually care about the anime itself.
Or that's what I've been led to believe. FUNimation's quality really isn't bad enough to be complaining all of that much. Especially since it's for free. They could be charging us for this, you know?
So, my eyesight is not perfect. 20/60 to be exact, meaning I have trouble reading the board in class and so on, need corrective lenses to drive, according to the government, but I do fine without them (I still wear them 98% of the time while driving). So why do I wear contacts? They irritate my eyes and could simply carry around glasses for the average of five times a day I need to use them.
Because I like to see the world with more clarity.
Because I want to appreciate its full beauty.
I don't have much free time in my day. I don't watch too much TV or anime; I'm just too busy these days. So when I do, is it really so much to ask for higher quality videos? I watch the stimulcast every week as soon as I can. It's somewhat miserable, a pain to my eyes and all, but it's One Piece and I like to see it as soon as possible. But, because I value it, I'll also download Yibis subs and watch it again in higher quality. When I do this, it's like watching it for the first time; everything's so nice and crisp I can go fullscreen. I can put it onto a disk and watch it from my PS3, with my friends. If I'm away from the internet with my laptop, as I often am, I can enjoy the most recent episode of One Piece from atop a local hill.
It's a victim-less crime, especially now that Toei's signified it's okay with us Americans enjoying their product, and I'll be damned if I'm not completely gracious. I'll buy the official releases down the road. I support the stimulcast by watching it. But I will also continue to download Yibis' fantastic fansubs for as long as they provide them. Damn anything else, I'm glad there's a stimulcast because I don't have to watch the raws on Keystone anymore but I'm glad Yibis is still at it.
And Demon Rin, if your head wasn't stuck so high up your own ass, I'd be willing to listen to you. Please stop posting on this thread. You've said the same goddamn thing every other post for the last two or three pages and I hope you don't think you're going to convince anyone to change their minds.
