Buying or downloading?

So, do you guys (and girls) buy your anime, or do you download it? It would be nice if you also tell us why you download/buy it. I absolutely download nothi...

I don't download any manga because I don't know how xD, and I'm too lazy to find out.
I have a friend who buys manga, when he's finished with them I can borrow them. Soon I'm going to buy my own stuff :)
The sucky thing is; they don't sell any manga in my hometown so I will always need to go somewhere eles or order it.

Mostly I buy the manga...I don't think it's nice to read on the pc, I like to have something in my hands and read it then. I download most of the anime though. It's easy and cheap, that's why.

I download few manga only if they're not available in French/English/German (I live in Belgium but I always read my manga in a different language). I think I'ts far better to read them in real life then on the computer.

i try and then i buy if i like it

wow, this thread has been ressurected many times over xD.

I tend to download anime because there's no place to buy it here, and buying it online would cost more for the shipping and handling than the actual anime. I buy manga though, if I've seen the anime and know it's worth it to buy. Otherwise I download it, and buy it if I like it/can find it.

I do both, I rent the DVD if it's available, if I like I buy. Hard to find animes, or long series that have been bastardized(e.g. When CN messes with series), I search for fansubs.

I can't wait until the future when people are asking this question about drinks. Downloading a vermouth martini.

Everytime I see this thread, I keep thinking of some frat-boy asking me, "Dude, are you holdin' ?"

I just wish someone would come up with a universal translator, so I wouldn't have to search the WWW for an english version of mangas.

Show me a man who buys crappy anime, and I'll show you a man who votes Republican.

yes, and it troubles me so. I'm starting to wonder if the stories of inbreeding in America aren't true.

So as my "first" manga, what would you guys/gals recommend me to buy?

Never bought manga. You don't want my advice, all I ever want is pr0n, can't help myself when they put covers like this on them:

You're right, maybe I should ask someone else XD
What was your first manga though?

Super Taboo, a friend recommended it.

Same as rjd22 really.
Though recently I've been thinking of buying some.

Also a point that hasn't already mentioned I think is that in countries other than Japan, new chapters are difficult to get, so if you actually want to read a chapter each week, your only option would be to download them or read them online.
If I lived in Japan, I wouldn't mind buying naruto each week (though I have my doubt about bleach, it has become so boring recently...but that's another subject).
