"Please defeat the iron demon! If Casshan doesn't do it, who will?"

I feel like when it comes to the pro vs anti piracy debate people always forget about franchises that are HORRIBLY preserved and the only way to watch them is through piracy.

Heck some franchises are so poorly preserved that you might not even be able to watch it all. Like Kabutack for instance. Kabutack was even lost media for a while I heard because it was unavailable for so long and right at the tail end of Metal Heroes dying out.

I would LOVE to be able to watch things like Science Team Gatchaman and Casshan 73 in a more convenient place that I don't have to worry about disappearing every time I watch something on it but I CAN'T.

Tatsunoko is seemingly a dead company that barely does anything in terms of making their shows more accessible so I have to pirate them.

Not to mention the age of these shows make it to where they'll most likely never be widely available.

What? Just because something is old it deserves to fade into obscurity forever? All those people's hard work to bring the show to life deserves to be forgotten??

That sounds crazy!

Musashi The Samurai Lord is arguably one of the most obscure things I'm into. It's so bad that the Wikipedia page about it barely has any information on it. There is a very small fandom for it on here and that's about it..

I love the show and I wish it was more accessible but it's not. I literally have no other choice but piracy.
