Paying for an artform we love and not feeling like a pirate is a great feeling indeed.
I think most Hentai fans now acknowledge that Hentai doesn't come for free and that if we wish for the industry to survive outside of Japan, then must support it.
Some may not agree but I think what killed the Hentai Anime industry here in the U.S was none other than ourselves, the Hentai fans....Back when downloading/torrenting U.S licensed movies was running rampant on all corners of the web. But I guess that couldn't been helped since most of us Hentai fan were still underage and we didn't know any better.
Hopefully now that we have an understanding how this shit works then perhaps we can set things right. Team Fakku has truly brought us to the next-generation of Hentai...and with them taking charge of the industry, I see a bright future for us all. :)
Sorry if I sounded bit preachy :/
I agree.
I hope Fakku can keep up in being this careful about the quality of their books because this release shows that this isn't being done half-assed. The pages look beautiful and the typesetting compliments it well.
While there will be people saying "Fakku sold out", those people weren't interested in buying and they expected this high of quality content for free.
Looking forward to the physical book release and hoping it leaves me wanting to buy more physical copies!
