Its only illeagal if its been licenced (a lot of the stuff I watch is unlikely to get licenced eg Minami-ke, Bamboo blade, Shigurui, Kaiji )
One piece has only been liceneced up to a certain point
And the DVDs realesed tend to have a hand full of episodes
I
do did tend to buy DVDs but when they get cheeky and put two episodes on a disc (see Cowboy bebops last two discs for why )
(see the term no job id like to buy more but dont have the cash)
Also look at what happens with seris
They realse them all seprately then just before the last disc they bring out a box set (for most) kinda makes you feel ripped off
If you buy the proper DVDs from Japan they wont be subbed in English
Ive seen some "official" subs of some anime and to tell you the truth they stink (no explinations of certain terms)
Not the fabled Daibattos (sp) subs
There only prob is there trolls that they keep doin
And there are countless of other good subbers (some stop when they come out on DVD)
You must of watched one of the lesser subbers or any of those £1 + a lot for postage DVDs off ebay (I got one or two and there terrible)
