[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 20986, member: 354"] What Kesh said, and here in the United States, Anime isn't quite that expensive. The only thing that's gonna cost you 60+ dollars are "sets"... entire seasons of an anime, for example. Individual discs are 14-30 dollars, depending on assorted factors. Yes, Hellsing _is_ really cool :) re: Fansubs - Fansubs are, as the name inplies anime subtitled by fans.
