My favorite are the bootleg anime sets from the early 2000's. Back then you would have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a 26 episode series, I believe Cowboy Bebop was something like $100, to get the complete set. The fact these things were so expensive had websites spring up that offered complete shows for ballpark $20 and you would even see those sets pop up on Amazon in the marketplace. I bought a Cowboy Bebop before I realized it was a bootleg and when it came in I actually looked at the box it shipped in. They had managed to spell the names of most of the creators wrong on the box.

In the mid 2000s I got a bootleg dvd set of Big O, the full series. Actually it was great because there were no pre-home screen trailers/ads or annoying menu transitions. Literally insert disc, immediately see episode list, choose one and play episode. I loved it.

I haven't bought a dvd in years, do they still do that front-loaded ad poo poo just like on videotapes?
