Um.. Well I'm new here but I found a really cool anime that I like alot and I just wanted to suggest that maybe it could become one of your projects? Well, I'm not very informed so if you don't need this suggestion just tell me I'll drop it. Maybe subbing the anime Hellsing?

I suggest that you remove that sig...

Other than that... it won't come true,
because you fansubbers allready got a lot of work.
But if I could wish I want Bleach to become fansubbed...
if it only were an anime!! that is... ^_~

Ok, ok.

Hellsing has been fansubbed already. Further more, the DVDs are out for this series.

By who/what? I download episodes off Kazaa but I was just suggesting that because I know that you guys are really good and fast (and bittorent is much faster and more reliable than Kazaa). And girls of course. Well anyway as I said just forget I ever said anything then. *hides in the corner*

hahah kagome-sama,

no one is attacking you, just pointing out to you that it's been done by subbing groups and I think someone on irc might be ripping the DVD's but i have no idea who, someone might msg you and give you the locations of said episodes

hi... i'm a newbie...... instead of subbing hellsing... why not try d.n.angel.... i know that it is already licensed but i cannot find the dvd or vcd at my country....and it will probably take 2 months or so to be available at my country =( and i can't wait to watch the 14th eposide...=(

Fangirl Friday is currently subbing DNAngel,
unless they didn't drop it, that is. ^^
It seems to be going a little slow,
but I can't blame them when they're being busy with IY.
And impatient fans! ^_~ (j/k)

impatient fans? *shifty eyes* where?

Hey, I've got a suggestion for a good series to fansub! Wolf's Rain! I know there were some other groups fansubbing it, but they dropped it once it got licensed a few days ago.... And it was only 4 episodes away from being finished ! It's a beautiful series, it's cruel and unusual punishment for us to have to wait 5 years to see the last episodes on the official dvd release!

Actually, I hear there are 8 episodes left...

Really? 'Cuz the last release was episode 22 and my friend said she heard someone say there were 26 episodes....

Does anyone know where I could get some episodes of the anime Seraphim Call? I saw a website that had a little information about it and I got interested but I don't know where to get episodes or anything. I tried Kazaa but it didn't have anything. Can anyone help me out? Otherwise I might not ever be able to watch it.

Well thanks alot, Dinkai. Oh and I looove your avator. Wheredja get it?

I hate when anime & manga get liscensed!

There were only 30 chapters left of Hikaru no Go,
and now i will have to wait for years until i can read it!
But liscensing can also be good, of course...
helps bringing more and more manga out in the world.
I just hope I'll be able to buy Hikago here in Sweden...
well, I do live in Stockholm. So all hopes are not lost!

Licensing does bring anime out in the world, but it's still frustrating for the fans to be following a series on fansubs and then be cut off from their addiction right before the end ^_~;; I wouldn't mind the licensing so much if the companies had a faster turnaround time! If we only have to wait a year or so it's alright, but once a company takes about 4-5 years... Well, let's just say that I've been told my memory is as good as a half-dead goldfish, so do you really think I'll remember much about the series (let alone be still obsessed with it) after that long ?

I also have the memory of a goldfish...
and i hope they never liscense Bleach!

I could never go without Bleach,
and i really wanna see what happens.

If you havn't read Bleach, children,
u're easily missing out on the best manga ever!
Xeph, go read it now! I tell ya, now!!
I don't care if IY gets delayed! Mwohahahha!!

How about the anime call Dear Boys or kaleido star just wondering

Part of the problem is that American companies are licensing these titles before they are finished in Japan or before they even start! Take Big O. Once Cartoon Network obtained the rights to play it, they also worked a deal with the Japanese company so that they could order new episodes. After CN played Big O, it got good enough ratings that they exercised their option to have 13 more episodes created. The Japanese company obliged and created/released 13 new episodes in Japan. Because this was licensed from conception, there are no fansubs of episodes 14-26. If CN excercises its option for another 13, those most likely won't be fansubbed either for the same reason.

I believe the series (or season of a series) has to finish its run in Japan before it can be released in America. I don't know if American companies are allowed to work on a title(or season as with "Inuyasha") during the time it is playing in Japan or not. If not, this adds time to its release on top of the time it takes to hire VA's, write an English dub scripts, "officially" subtitle it, etc.

That's the reason I wish fansubbers would do like FgF and continue to release new episodes of a long-running series, even though it has been licensed. Or that a fansub group would go ahead and finish fansubbing the title (GXP is a perfect example). They could put a text MSG in the video file stating, "This title has been licensed by <whatever group>. If you like this title, please support it and purchase the DVD(s) when they are released!"

That's just my opinion though. I'm thankful for all of the hard work all of the fansub groups do.
