As world media has shown over and over, the little guys get screwed while the monied do as they please. Over and over, it is a sad commentary, yes?

Eeep!

Scary stuff.

But you must protect yourself first and foremost!

I hope everything works out Impzy.

Hopefully I’ll catch you Messenger soon, sorry I haven’t been around I’ve been so busy of late.

There is no justice! Well, except for the justice in “Justice Gakuen”. Sigh.

Do what you have to do.

to think that I’m actually thinking of pursuing my education / career and migrate to Singapore… I guess this will be a great factors I’m going to consider in this decision… really sad…

I’m really disappointed by how close-minded they are regarding this, considering that more and more people have started to see how fansubs and the like actually promote the anime industry at present… sigh… T___T

I think you can find number of ways to still download illegally but it’s really too bad you can no longer write about them, since well, it’s like an open confession. You should continue blogging though, since it’s your editorials and reviews that are often more amusing than episodic summaries/screenshots (which you get by actually watching them). You might take this chance to revisit titles in the past, which might gear the community into stepping back a bit to appreciate some of the gems they’ve missed, instead of being obsessed with trying to watch as much current titles airing as possible, no matter how generic or terrible they are. Or you could take this as a sign, that you’ve watched enough anime to last a life time, haha. Whichever decision you come to, I hope for the best.

Ok first off I would really appreciate if someone explains to me what ODEX is and this “story” spreading thorugh the blogger community.
Second to impz: I really like your blog, you have an very unique style of writting and moreover your reviews are all excellent. In Germany where I live you are allowed to report about everything you want (unless it’s not wilful bad making). There’s also absolutely no problem with most ISP comapanies, even if you download much. I myself had 50GB Traffic last month and since I have a flatrate nobody cares. If you are interested I could host your blog on my server protected by GERMAN law. But well, no matter what you’ll decide on, I thank you very much for all your hard work and wish you the best for your future!

I can understand your decision, especially in light of your upcoming teaching position. You don’t really want to jeopardize your future over a hobby (though some many consider anime our lives ^_^;;).

If you do quit completely, you’d be sorely missed as I think you have a big presence in the blogging community; if you blog on a limited capacity, it would obviously change the nature of your blog, but who knows, it could still be quite successful. Anyway, good luck with everything.

…oh dear…. I hope none of these problems reaches my country anytime soon.. So sorry to hear about it Impz…
and… I arrived to this blog not long ago but I have to admit that I love it, it inspired me to open a little blog about my process of learning about anime… and… particularly I like your opinions and reviews very much.
I hope that at some point laws about copyright and anime just fade away .. and all anime can be come free, subbed and available everywhere …. … right!…. I only wish.
