I personaly purchased or at least started to purchase nearly every anime title that I enjoyed and felt it is worth it. Being that I felt that the creators deserived my hard earned cash in some format. Theres some titles that are in "licenceing hell" that I want to end up buying the leagl region 2 dvds. To say thanks to the producer of said title. If I didn't have fansubbs I would probaly be forced to use the sad excuse for a rental system that exists for some genres. It has gotten better over the years for the rental market. Overall I see the legal problems with fansubs and see the great usefullness of them for the american distribters. Alot of time fansubs are used to gauge how well the fans are liking a title or genre. Also if said title is worth charging tons for the licence. Right now the sleeper genres are for the most part the genres that fansubers avoid for the most part which is the sports anime and the likes. This is pure opionion on my part.
I love scifi too and I belive the at b5 could have gone so much further if it wasn't for tnt
and for the most part I hate sitcoms because to me its just the same thing on any show but differant time and chanel no matter who the charters are I view scifi as at least having some creativaity for sitcoms it like laugh at how stupid i am and scifi has some storys ( some times bad ones yes ) that you can feel for the main charaters or what they are doing.
