Why Buy Hk?

[Shibo]

My Sailor Moon set should come in the mail any day.. I paid 80 something from dvdsoon.com. I don't have much to add to this neverending debate.. I buy hk stuff because it's cheap, as JJ says. If I can get a perfect HK release, chances are I'm not gonna buy the R1 stuff. Do I feel bad about it? Sometimes. But I support a family and the less money I spend on anime the more I have for essentials. That doesn't stop me from paying exorbitant amounts of money on stuff like Macross and Urusei Yatsura R1, or Kimagure Orange Road, the Sailor Moon uncut boxes, or the Utena stuff in R1 form. If I want something, I go to this site and check out the reviews. If I feel there's a good enough hk set I buy it. If the HK set doesn't meet my expectations or if I really like something I bought HK, I'll buy it R1. Why do I buy HK? It's price or availability of stuff that isn't out in R1. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't need to overanalyze and I don't give two shits if it's ethical or not. It is what it is. I'm not losing sleep over it. Maybe some day I'll be wealthy and will replace all my HK's with R1's. I hope it happens. Otherwise, HK gives me the opportunity to own an amount of DVD's that I find almost ridiculous and gives me a collection that I'm proud of.
