Do you like buying anime and manga physically, or digital versions?

the mail service is so shitty here that anything not priorital is oftenly stolen. You heard me right, stolen.

The fuck? Where do you live again?

I buy them all. I'll go for figures and books primarily.
For the mangas I'll import them and then if they get brought over I'll also support the translation.

Anime on the other hand, I'll only buy series that they bring over if I really enjoyed it and if it came out in BD. But otherwise I don't really bother.

Chile, IIRC. Which is rather surprising.

Fun Fact: There's a law that that frees from any responisbilities on the dudes, supposedly to check on anything that came into the country during Pinochet's regime. You know what's funnier? The regime ended more than 20 years ago.

Weird, i live in Paraguay and we don't have that, not if you use the national courier (even more weird).

Looks like it's time to run for office

I like to buy manga if it isn't a series I plan on binging. I read all of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure digitally because, one, it isn't all officially translated, two, there are colored scans available, and three, the USA versions are 20 dollars a book.

Anime I can't afford. There is no doubt about that.

Hmm... To buy Blu-Rays, or drop two-hundred bucks on a hard drive and pirate literally everything under the sun?

Decisions, decisions.

The answer is figures and posters and other goods

Anything else is a waste of money that could go toward buying those.

I buy light novels and some manga more for decoration of my room. I read and watch all in my machine.

Same, I embraced minimalism a while ago and decided to keep only a single bookcase with my favourite books. The only manga I kept was Girls' Last Tour (mostly because it has become my all-time favourite manga, but also in part because the two-page spreads lose a lot of the impact when viewed on my pocket-sized e-reader)
