Shar, thats why i agree with Big R, and thats what i do.

I keep getting fansubs of a show, or as in ROD TV and GITS SAC's case, since there finished, and i enjoyed them, ill watch the DVD's of them.

or in your case with naruto or FMA, pick up the DVD's as they come out.

its not that hard to save up 23-25 bucks every 4-5 months for a DVD.
