You might think you know what they want and be totally wrong.

Asking never hurts. They can give you a list of options or say “whatever”, but you don’t have to be a baby about it.

If they say whatever, it just means they’re letting you know you don’t have to stress about it, but you should still make a genuine effort to get something they might want.

Disinformation. Misinformation is when it’s unintentional.

Piracy is the best thing that happened to anime. Without it, anime and Japan wouldn’t be nearly as popular.

They’re shooting themselves on the foot. People discover anime and manga through piracy, and then if they love it, they end up spending money on it.

Just look at Berserk. I bet 90% of people who spent money on the mangas and all the deluxe editions discovered it through “illegal” means.
