How did you come across D-Addicts?

Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2005 6:47 am Post subject: Post Rating: 0

I used to be an anime download hoarder and I accidentally DLed Gokusen, thinking it was the anime and was like "what the heck," because it was "live action" (ATM, jdorama was a foreign term to me) and I kept putting off watching those 3 episodes I downloaded off animesuki.com and when I finally did, WHAM! I got addicted and started googling it like crazy so I could DL the other episodes, and I finally (thank God for SARS-fansubs!) found other torrents here on d-addicts! (At the time, I think it was only up to ep 05 or something) HEH! Lucky me.

The first jdorama I saw was GTO and I didn't really think of them as such, more as "live action dramas" and what not, and eventually I learned more about other dramas and the site. At first I didn't understand the whole fansubbing process and all that and fell into the ebay buying crap (which i will NEVER do again if it's not a yesasia version or something!). And then it resulted in me finally registering as a member on this site and devoting my entire bandwidth to DLing dramas all day. Hahaha. But I think the one who most benefits from this site in my family is my mom because she watches WAYYY more dramas than I do and is always bugging me about them and stuff. (She even steals my laptop away from me so that she can watch them since it has all the necessary codecs and stuff). D-addicts has taken my life!! haha. J/k And I'm passing on the disease! Huh, but then.. d-addicts is more like a cure than a disease.. soooo... Laugh

I can't remember how exactly I stumbled across D-A, but I was looking for English-subbed K-dramas. Couldn't believe my luck. Big Smile

find d-addicts? heck, i was born and raised here!

just kidding. i have groink to thank for leading me here. i first checked out kikutv.com (in late 2003), hoping they'd re-play one of the jdramas i had missed. i contacted groink about his trading list, but instead of taking my money (which he could have easily done), he directed me to a brand new site called 'd-addicts'. i actually joined in nov or dec 2003, but i used a different username.

through the experiences i've had with groink and d-addicts, it's taught me that not everyone is an ebay rip-off artist, and sharing keeps the bt community alive.

in msia kdramas shown here r subbed in malay or chinese. it's not very good. or worse still...dubbed in mandarin which i have no comprehension of! same goes to the vcds sold here. it was alwiz easy to download american serials so thought i'd just try my luck searching for asian dramas with english subtitles. think it was my search for summer scent downloads which led me to this site...

I am a hardcore anime d/er and stumbled across The Live Action version of The Condor Heroes. Up to then, I've been unsuccessful in finding sites, despite watching Cdramas since the 80s.

Well, the first episode of Full House (kdrama) aired last night in the Bay Area (in Mandarin), and I decided to give it a shot. I used google instead of yahoo this time, got redirected to torrentspy (only a few movies there), clicked a few more links, and stumbled here. Wow, what a find.

This site's definitely a gem! Thank you.

Deja vu? I think we already had a thread for this. Then again, I'm an old drunk - what I think I remember doesn't count.

I was looking for the missing episode of Wedding Planner [jem], so I Googled for it, and... somehow ended up here. Never left either.

P.S. Though thanks to GTO my first contact with drama arena was [jtv] as well I swear I never did anything to raise the raiting of Summer Snow. It's sooo not my cup of tea that I couldn't give an honest rating anyway.

It was actually a little bit of luck in it as I don't usually go in to the forum of Jdorama but somehow I looked over some topics in the forum and found this great site Big Smile
