The least-anticipated revival since Fuller House is finally here! Against all odds, the Excel
Saga Forum is back with its original domain name intact. Read the announcement thread for
more details, or check out the Resources section for help finding copies of both the manga and
anime. And don't forget to join our newfangled Discord if that's the kind of thing you're into!

No, no, no! Not your fault at all. :icon_smile: I'm glad we all had a chance to be informed about the consequences of useing the VeohTV client. Knowledge is power. And Soske delivered in spades. ^^

It can be both good and bad... Or perhaps comparing it to a double-edged sword would make better sense. I believe it's only bad to a point after a title has been licensed for distribution outside from Japan.

I also believe in the 'try before you buy' method before making anime purchases. Streaming anime has helped me a great deal in this regard.

Yeah, don't blame yourself Randamonian.  And I agree, try before you buy is important, especially with anime since it is so expensive - no one wants to buy something then regret it soon after, better to know that you like it going in.  And YouTube or any other service can't replace owning it - the quality of DVDs is much better than any internet streaming video, and you can watch the DVD anytime you want without having to go look it up on line - and I believe most true fans of anime would much rather own than pirate.

But I will definitely never download any client like that again - I might watch some vids on Stage6 or something, but no more downloading, and downloading the client was no one's fault but mine.

it aint your fault i downloaded Veoh Tv before I even joined the forum.

Also, I only watch unliscened show on online viewers. I mean if it a moderately good dub, why not get the better quality available on the dvds

Nah, it's not your fault. :)

I never had VeohTV installed, but I did have the old Veoh Video Client.  Suffice to say, I removed it.

i reckon it helps the industry cause people can try it out before buying it. if they can just give us a couple of episodes...
im just kidding about people putting on videos reducing how much they can put on, cant they put on an infinate amount on the internet?
ZOMG, you broke the internet D:

actually i think they should ALLOW fansubs, atleast until the anime comes out in america (if it ever comes out)

Randamo

hey, i was wondering where you can get the lucky star anime - it's not on amazon, nor ebay. definantly not the shops. where is it?!

Necrominion

To tell you the truth it only finished airing this year, i waited ages to watch the last episode.  However you can find it at this website to download them: http://realitylapse.com/videos/lucky-star.php
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't many people happy?

Randamo

oh, downloading's almost impossoble for me - impossible on my own. i got someone who could do it for me.

but that's pretty slow going. do you know when the dvds come out?
