Beck

[G.I.R]

You wouldn't belive how many vendors at last weeks L.A. Comic Book, and Sci-Fi Convention were selling bootleg anime DVD's, including Beck.  And it wasn't just last week,  this happens every show (held bi-monthly).  Yet, it still goes on, without anyone being caught.  There are even vendors selling American TV series, and movies there to!  It goes on right in the open, with no effort to conceal their pirated wares.  
There are also many vendors selling the same items on the internet.  The problem, there's to much lag time between the Japan broadcast or release, and the time someone picks up a title for distribution here.  No, I don't approve of the sales of these DVD's (especialy seeing the quality of some of the videos), but if there isn't a crackdown on the sales of these disks, it will continue.  It seems od when several Video companies, and studios are located whithin mere miles of this show, that nothing is done about it.
** Okay a bit off topic, but it needed to be said**
...oh, yeah, saw the first episode of Beck, it rocks!

I watched all the episodes of Beck with Digimell11. Twas a great series.
The soundtracks are awsome too, Moon on the Water will truely be a loved song when this anime gets around. Not to mention the bow to the beatles with "I've got a feeling". <3
