Re: What animes have you purchased recently?
Well, people were torrenting tv shows and the like long before anime fansubbers went more mainstream (and people were trading tapes of old tv shows long before anime fansubbers were trading tapes back and forth too). They may be the first to actually add something to it, in the form of translations. I certainly don't remember a large enough fanbase being dedicated enough to translate stuff from foreign languages before that (although maybe Korean soaps were big before I heard of them).
What I was saying about new fans is that even if someone watches Sword Art Online and loves it on Cartoon Network, I doubt they'll love it enough to pay the Aniplex prices for it. Maybe some small percentage will, but the prices are even higher than, say, a DBZ fan going and buying the early Funimation releases.
There are still hardcore fans, and there are still companies that put out cheaper releases (certainly much cheaper than the two episode per pop dubbed tapes back in the day), but I don't see the fandom coming back to earlier levels (much like comics).

I just went to amazon and eBay to look at the price of Armored Fleet Dairugger XV: Collection Three, and I damn near had a heart attack.

Re: What animes have you purchased recently?
Anime had gone down in price... I'm saying that companies like Aniplex, who are releasing basically the Japanese versions here with subtitles, are charging close to Japanese prices (SAO is being released in 4 sets, which even with discount are 90 bucks a piece). They're not bargain binning their titles, or having dirt cheap collections after the initial sales.
I'd say the DBZ/Gundam Wing era was probably the peak, though I have no numbers to back that up or anything.
Yeah, Dairugger is probably OOP or the license expired. I'm still trying to find a copy of one of the Macross volumes.

I just bought the movies "epic" and Disney's "Brave". I think I would like to see a few animes made this way, Almost everything looks so real. I even got the 3D versions.

I just finished watching it and I highly recommend this movie, I own all Studio Ghibli films released in North America and I think this is the best one.
