<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>To anyone who plans on watching them: Get them off bit torrent. Excellent fansubs there. Don't watch Chinese bootlegs, ever. I rented some the other day and the subtitles were barely intelligible.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Hehe, yeah. I bought an HK bootleg of Gunbuster at a con once. Watched about five minutes while laughing my ass off before I gave up.</div>

Yeah, the majority I've seen were the ANBU-AonE subs, which are quite nice.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Hopefully, we'll have somebody still fansubing it though, I hate fucking groups like Toriyama's World that take shit down 2 minutes after it's been licensed.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt "copperplate gothic light"; text-align: left; '>AonE will still do it, espically considering its rumored that 4Kids has the licence *cries*</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>When they first license it, yes. I THINK. However after time, you can still find subs of stuff like Yugioh and Inuyasha easy. Anime fansubs usually get download by about 1k-10k downloads according to BT trackers anyways. mIRC downloads I don't know. Naruto had about 25k last time I checked.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I guess it's not bad if you're looking for mainstream stuff. I haven't seen anything Anime or Manga that's truly impressive for a very long time, though.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yes, and you're jaded beyond all hope in these particular entertainment fields.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Actually, very few series were ever good to begin with. I do follow Black Cat and Erementar Gerad for their art styles though.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>It's not like stuff that aren't licensed is somehow okay for you for fansubbing anyway. But people will do what they want to make themselves feel better. Heck, I still see people who believe that you can 'evaluate' MP3 or you can 'back them up' (which you can't, even if you own it) or whatever.</div>

Anyone here watch Naruto? I wasn't that impressed with it until episode 20 or so, but it's a really, really well done anime.

It's the next Dragon Ball Z - not that they're that much alike, but I think it's definitely becoming a phenomenon. From an action standpoint it's pure genius...and btw...

Naruto reads like most generic mainstream adventure stuff but then it's not like the non mainstream stuff are any good either

Anime fansub has this bizarre code of honor not to translate licensed stuff. Of course that's about as honorable as downloading ROMs or MP3 and delete them 24 hours later
