It said I could add my opinions here, so I just wanted to thank you very much for this forum! I'm a manga and anime addict and so much of it seems inaccessible. Even the company I used to rent anime from closed up on the net. They said they were the only one doing it, too, but were pressured to close. I thought I was sunk.

How can companies not understand that we won't buy a huegly expesnive anime if we've never seen it before. We won't. If I like a title and it later is licensed, I buy it. Not only do I get to enjoy it, but buy titles I NEVER would have even thought of, by seeing anime from groups like yours. Also, some of it is WRONGLY translated in later commercial versions, sanitized or outright changed, which truly bugs me.

Lastly, much of the anime never makes it into English commerically at all. Most countries never get access to the English version, even if it is made. One friend lives on an small island in the Indian Ocean and can only get anime and manga this way. He's not the only one. The world is a huge place and YOU made it a little bit better, by making this forum!

I know this is a long first post from an absolute newbie here, but I truly wanted to express my heart-felt thanks! You are WONDERFUL!

Your fan,
Mayhem
