^_^V Hey Guys haven't u all ever tried to visit this website? www.youtube.com ?
Man, this site is amazing, it contains all of the videos of the El Hazard series (OAV1, OAV2, Alternative & Wanderers) and most of all the Animated Music Videos (AMV) created and contributed by the fans of El Hazard.. Man, you gonna check this out!
(Type in the search engine: El Hazard at the www.youtube.com website)

I would like to point out that anime episodes (or tv episodes, or movies, etc) on youtube or any other movie hosting service not posted by the copyright holder are illegal and are subject to removal by the host once they are notified of the copyright infringement. And the poster is subject to possible banning.
As to the AMVs, those are alright as long as the poster is the creator or someone who has permission from the creator.
Don't really want to rain on your parade, but if you like the series, go buy the DVDs please :)

Additionally, the video quality on youtube is abysmally poor. You'd have to be pretty desperate to consider it a good place to watch anime episodes - especially for El Hazard. Given how breathtakingly beautiful the settings and animation were for that show, it's practically a crime to watch it on youtube's grainy, low-quality videos!
The same is true for the AMV's really - you're much better off finding them someplace where they're stored at full quality.

Yeah. I'm surprised YouTube hasn't been one of those things shut down or otherwise hunted by the RIAA yet. I mean, it has plenty of legal content, but a good deal of it ranges from gray area to outright dangerous.
And even though the glory days are gone, I guess I should still make my administrator thing and not advocate piracy, etc. Of course, as mentioned in this thread, you're already half-punished by losing art detail. :P
-
First of all, I think the MPAA would be going after YouTube instead of the RIAA ;)
Also, the only reason I can think of why they have not is that the site has a reporting feature and they do regularly remove content when a creator reports it.
Course, I don't really expect someone like the MPAA or RIAA to actually understand basic logic, so my point my be invalid ;D
-
Ah, MPAA, RIAA... whatever. Not fond of either AA.

We're all in agreement then. Piracy is bad, youtube image quality is abysmal, we need more tartar sauce at the commisary.
Therego: Ban youtube, and forty feather lashings for daboyturat.
You may have the honors, Robert.

I don't recall anybody in this thread saying piracy is bad. Quite the contrary! Piracy makes the world go 'round! We're just in agreement that YouTube is not the ideal source for watching anime. It's good for shorts that you can't anywhere else though, or would rather stream the download like Smirnoff Tea Partay. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTU2He2BIc0)

Piracy is bad.
There, it's now been said in this thread. ;D
And it's true, too!

So if I like to say "arr!" does that make me a bad person?
