If it's worth seeing, it's worth waiting to see 
done correctly, in a version where the artists 
got paid to do it.

But it's not worth going to a con for.  
Conventions are going to lose all of the people 
that go to find out what's new in anime, which is 
the whole point.  I have no problem buying 
licensed, legitimate, released copies of old 
fansubs I've loved.  But I've been burned so many 
times trying to buy newly released anime that is 
total crap.  I'm sick of wasting my money on it.  
I want to see what's coming up before I waste $30 
on an hour of anime that ADV(or whoever) thought 
might be popular and in my opinon is total junk. 
If the companies would preview more of the anime 
it would be worthwhile.  But they don't.  They 
wait till after they've released it to the 
general public, and a year later they try and 
pass it off as "New!".  My pet peeve is when they 
buy the rights and often wait years to do 
anything with it, if they ever even release it at 
all.
