Thank God for The End of Physical Media

Must be nice to have mom and dad pay your bills.

>Expensive Blu-ray Discs vs inexpensive subscription service
??? Subscription streaming is an alternative to TV, you retard.

Literally just rewatched my Blurays of this series.

I just enjoy owning physical collections of shows I like, but I'm also an EOP.

when you watch a stream the video data is temporarily downloaded. nothing prevents you from keeping them IF you want (except laziness or technological illiteracy)

Yes goy... subscriptions are the way to go! Just $9.99 per month... oh? The show you want to watch isn't on that streaming service? Just subscribe to the competitor for another $9.99, goy... what's another $10? And don't forget, you get VIRUSES if you torrent!

Terrible bait. If they decide to pull the streamed show you can’t watch it any more. With dvds you can watch it as many times as you want whenever you want for a one time fee.

Exclusivity is a cancer. Streaming sites should be like TV plans. Every service gives you access to everything, and competition is through plans. Cable won't truly die until this occurs.

Give it 1 or 2 years, the end of physical media is inevitable.
Stay mad salesfags.

>subslavery

But how, oh how will we know a show’s success?

nice collection

Thanks. I plan on getting that upcoming Kanamemo release next. Possibly the Madoka set, if I feel crazed enough to spend 120 burgercoins. The upcoming KF set Discotek will release is a must-buy for me, too.

Why would they do that? Its easier for them to gouge their customers with the way things are now.

I was going to say "places without good Internet", but then I remembered they also tend to be places without electricity as well...

still leave books.

>kanakemo
nice, I didn't know it was getting a release, I'll have to check it out

owning vs renting

All good shows, nice! Even I have a few I regret buying (looking at you Eden of the East)

Better quality due to less compression, the same goes for music. I bet your poorfag ass can't afford equipment good enough to tell the difference

I have things I regret buying, just not blu-rays.

Enjoy non-ownership and perpetually low quality streams. Not to mention the potential for even more region and DRM lockouts.

>Your series license ran out (among others) and now the catalogue of the streaming service is shit.

Yep, on the 25th. Took a long while.

>celebrating vastly inferior quality

The entertainment industry is colluding to end the concept of home video ownership. Congratulations on being a useful idiot for the cause. The day the blu-ray factories shut down is the day subscription fees jump up to 50-100 dollars a month. Enjoy.

I'll pay for something physical. I'm not paying for digital when I'm already getting it free.

Paying for a subscription service is both less ethical and more cucked than piracy.

why buy one decent anime at a time when you can pay monthly fee for daily dose of low-effort isekai garbage?

why would I want that? without blurays all I can download is shitty WEB quality

>And don't forget, you get VIRUSES if you torrent!

crunchy literally got hacked once and website started spreading malware

I'm glad people keep buying physicals. Remember those fags who kept freaking out about people buying discs because they're not overly expensive japanese imports?

I've bought series just so I can have it on my shelf. Even some really bad releases (for not Yea Forums relevant) shows just 'cause the box looks kinda nice. Already intend to have a Beastars shelf just for show.

Because I like having something on my shelf that I can always go back to, rather than something that's going to disappear from the streaming service sooner or later.

>Why buy when you can rent?
When you rent, someone else can entirely legally decide that you shouldn't have access to it anymore. When you own, you've got it as long as you want it.

I want to fuck your mum.

Implying Piracy ain't the way to go.

The only way I'm paying for something is if I get a physical copy. Otherwise piracy is the way to go.

Pirating everything and occasionally buying shows you love is the best way to do things

Daily reminder to salesfags.

Even the nips themselves now prefer to use streaming services than waste their money on physical discs. This is in fact something that the anime music industry laments very much, as the newer generation of anime otaku in Japan don't buy music cds, they just like to hang out at those conventions, but don't really buy shit.
That has however allowed otaku in Japan to get a new way to support their local anime music industry, the AniUta anime music streaming service, for only 600 yen per month.

In the end, streamingfags were the superior and more valuable customers for the anime industry than buyfags.
