Ack! You bought a bootleg!

I can't say this with 100% certainty, but 95%+ of anime that's available on ebay is bootlegged. Did it come all in one box, which folds out, and maybe two movies per disk? And are there Chinese subtitles or Chinese characters on the back?

I know the real stuff is expensive, but bootlegs are produced by the Chinese mafia, not the world's nicest people.

I'm not sure I'll be up for watching "Grave of the Fireflies" again any time this decade, which is why I haven't watched it with Mom.

If you like anime movies, you might like to start branching out into series. I've seen a lot so if you're interested, I can recommend a few for you. There's a lot of lousy stuff, all right, but a lot of good stuff too, shows that would just never be produced here because there's no audience for it.

Whoa! Really!
Wow, my hubby is computer geek No.1 and has a thing about copying software. I have to keep it quiet. Crap!
