Evenutally I bought the first R1 boxset and gave my bootleg to a younger cousin, a few years after that I bought the R1 DVD boxset. If it wasn't for the rewatching of that bootleg, Slayers would have been forgotten, and I'd be $200 dollars richer. Damn piracy always costing people money. As for HK DVDs, 5 volumes of GTO and no job lets me sleep easy after getting the rest of the series from FX.
I got the entire GTO R1 series for $80. =P That series is definitely worth getting the R1's to support 'em.
I don't think bootlegs are all that bad. There are a LOT of animes I own in R1 right now I would not have even tried if it hadn't been for bootlegs. Some are lesser known titles (his and her) and some I just wouldn't have tried out. (Kenshin)
