I bet on day one all the fansub snots will have at least a million new excuses. Don't like the fonts, no karaoke opening text, a week is too long, not stealing ruins the "rebel-without-a-clue" factor, must be mistranslated because the F-Bomb is missing, isn't on a pirate website with the community they love... Did I miss anything? ... ingrates.

I agree. The first thing we're going to hear from those selfish-brats is nothing bitching and moaning. Seriously, fan subbers are the most winiest people ever.

Yes, I registered just to point out that this post is so hilariously ironic that it ought to win some sort of award.

Conan-san, wouldn't your passion here be more constructively directed at telling a licensing company in your own country to try to do the same thing than being angry that it's being done in another country?

Why go tell some stupid smuck who can't blasted well release something as damn simple as Yu Yu Hakushou Properly to get the licence, get it put through the ringer by the BBFC and all that nonsence so that I can buy it at astronomicaly inflated prices when I can go to crunchy roll, hand them my £1.50 and get my High Quality Tower of Duraga episode within a week of it being out?

Not to mention the fact that Not a lot of people would probably buy uncut Digimon or Fist of the North Star so no amount of telling said smuck to get his finger out will get me any closer to geting my At-ta-ta-ta-ta on.

The point here is, I want it and will give them money for it. They're not giving me it and hence they are 100% in the wrong for it.

Well excuse me for wanting to buy something.

Hell, when I even mentioned BTing the shows, that's not even going to be an issue anyway because most fansubers, opposite what people might belive do leave things alone when they're licenced and airing uncut.

So realy I'm just up the creak.

But whatever, the US has it yay the us, leave us Europeons with our faces to the ground and stamp the back of our heads into the mud with your gloromeican boots.

Oh my aren't we the cynic. I am pretty sure most people who already have a method of watching new episodes are not going to change their ways. This is probably going to be much more helpful to the casual people who will now have a easy access to watching it.

That's pretty cool, but I wonder what the point of companies complaining about fansubs is then, if they're going to do the exact same thing. What, is the only difference advertisement? Why can't they just use the fansubbers and have them display their sponsors' ads? It'd be cheaper than hiring translators and subbers themselves, and let's face it, people watch fansubs for the speed AND for the subbing style, and these official subs aren't going to have extensive liner notes or whatever.

Seeing as how things are with this news, I would say it's a safe bet that Naruto Shippuuden is definitely licensed by Viz.

I, for one, think this idea is groundbreaking. I will watch both the official subbed version and the dubbed version when they're released.

Does this mean that they're going to be showing both version at the same time when they're at the same point in the anime timeline?

There are definitely fansubbers and fansub consumers who whine and moan excessively. But I'm pretty sure Datebayo, which is the only fansub group that really matters when it comes to Naruto, will cease working on the title in the very near future.

Without a doubt some 2-bit fansub groups will continue to produce the fansubs for any one of multiple reasons, each with varying amounts of legitimacy.

"A week is is too long to wait for the free version"
"the streaming version isn't good quality video"
"their translation is no good"
"the streams aren't available in certain markets"
etc...

Awesome! Now if we can only get the box sets to be released as swiftly in the US as well...

*sigh* I was thinking this too. Kudos to them for sticking to unlicenced series, but if DB stops fansubbing Shippuuden, what happens to those of us outside the US/Canada region?
