Well, I didn't come on here to start anything. Just to say hi.
To answer the first question, I became a fan when I watched the second Guyver anime adaption in 2011 if I remember. After that I read and watched all the stuff related to it, the figures are cool but I don't like the idea of paying with a lump of flesh.
And I see where you're coming from about the read online sites, there in it for the money and not for good intentions other than to line their pockets, that's why there's so much of them nowadays. I don't like it when people upload to sites without your permission and thus profit off it, it's both an insult to the translator and the group in general. People need to come to the source instead of online reader sites, interaction with groups is always a good thing.
