I’m with you on that - the only things I ever downloaded were stuff you can’t rent or buy anyway.

i mainly play retro vidya but i've seen so many fatfuck 45 year old collecters price them at 30 dollars. its not like im supporting the original company that made them by paying for them anyways. piracy 4 life. normalize emulating old games.

i mostly pirate music, but i’ll still gladly pay for it if it’s from a smaller artist

cancel spotify or whatever other streaming you use, and start building a local music library

My parents taught me how to setup our VCR to record shows ahead of time and we'd record movies off the tv all the time to rewatch later. It was a rule of thumb that we'd end up getting a movie around 2 years after they released to theaters, 1 year if it didn't do so well. I loved being the one to hit start and stop during the commercials for recording.
When faster internet came around I was old enough to use the computer and started searching movies nearly immediately and when YouTube came around most movies would wind up on there too.
At this point I'll be honest, I'm too spoiled to wait for dvds to come out as the torrents come first. If anything previously waiting so long for media has made me more impatient. And I like too many movies to justify spending on all of them tbh. I'll support small films and artists but otherwise I cannot afford all the movies I'd like. And especially not music as much as I'd love to do that. It's selfish sure, but at this point it's not like streaming is easy. Especially if you're not American and you cannot pay to watch some things even if you wanted to.
I think if the artist is small, unless you're really poor you can save and give them money. But larger people, it's just reality you cannot support everyone. And some companies I wouldn't want to anyways like EA

I'm a proud pirate. Culture shouldn't be an industry.

It's not loli slop. There are adults in the show and the tank aspect makes it stand out. Also, this anime does a great job at show don't tell. https://youtu.be/g_-G-fyLKOk?si=SUJK42xxgg83EOx1

There are Sidney Lumet films you could be watching…

I cosplayed Yukari and my boyfriend cosplayed Erwin in high school for Halloween, we both loved this show

The premise is still that it's a surprising thing for her to date someone attractive cause she's fat

>>38261

But keep in mind , it’s Japanese media and they are a slim built people . Complete opposite of Pacific Islanders

Decided to hate watch but its actually good. The main character is cute as fuck and there's no pedophilia or sexualisation of women like most other anime. Refreshing to see adult characters in a work environment instead of high-school anime no.183388393. Of course, there's some cringe parts but nothing too bad. If you can handle all the pedophilia, misogyny and panty shots in every other anime, you can handle a few food jokes. People that are mean to her for being fat are shut down by her friends or end up liking her once they get to know her. Hell, take me for example. I went in expecting to hate it but the main character won me over. She's too sweet.

I'd choose Alfred. Always. Forever. My one and only true love

Holy fycking memories unlocked

If only between those two, Ludwig, but I want his brother more

>>38354
Oh pic didn't go throughout, tryin again

My headcanon is that Ludwig is a big softie but he's too embarassed to show it

>>38356
That's canon

Do you want to watch for the fights? Comedy? Starry eyed romance?

I'd recommend staring with Onegai My Melody, probably, as Japanese children's media goes

Witch Hat Atelier. Not really magical girl but it has girls and magic

I like Madoka Magica, its my favourite anime of all time and I believe its a classic at this point.
