Ugh. If there are no plans to license these titles, what's the point?
Doesn't the very fact that so many Japanese companies are deciding to post things for on FREAKING CRUNCHYROLL mean that they UNDERSTAND that internet distribution works? This is so backwards. If these don't get picked up soon, there's nothing stopping fansubbers from going rogue-- working anonymously so that Funi won't have a site to C&D to. We don't need the community to have to resort to that kind of behavior. |

"We want to stress that though these series are not yet licensed to a distribution company in the U.S."
As I've stated before. If it's not licensed in the U.S. then FUNimation should not be sending out these orders. |

"Fansubs should be allowed until the series gets licensed." I dont want to be rude or anything, but does that mean you're ok with them stopping fansubs because it has been licensed? You have written a whole paragraph saying fansubs should be allowed, fair point i agree to that. they give larger fanbase, so that in the future people may buy the products as you do. But then you go onto and say they should sub the episodes "until they get licensed" then why do you bother complaining? According to your ideaology you shud be fine with the fansubbers stopping. The TV Companies licensed it, so it should stop? on another note, screw funanimation liscensing anime!

I couldn't agree more. I have no problem with companies sending out C&D letters for a series that they own, but if there is no US license yet, this seems kind of pointless. C&D letters should go hand-in-hand with announcements of a new license. |

I'm quite far behind on Soul Eater (I'm watching it through my anime club at the moment) and my club is still going to show it until an actual licensing announcement takes place, so this doesn't really affect me much.
Hey, it'll make those caught up to choose among the other groups that were not hit by the C&D, so really, there isn't too much of an issue in that regard. Besides, the Japanese companies have a right to enforce their ownership rights, so while it might suck and all, you can't really fault them for it. |

I don't know, maybe they want to protect their titles against piracy? I can easily believe that FUNimation sending out C&D's is sort of a corporate back-scratching move, hoping that their brownie points will turn into something profitable, like maybe first crack at the next AAA title. There's probably more to it than that, but that's a simple explanation I've thought of. No good deed goes unpunished. |

I don't to be rude but your post gave me a headache. It was very hard to understand a small percentage of what you tried to say. I said "tried to say" because I can't understand wtf you were trying to say. |

I don't know where most fansubs originates from. Aren't they mostly from the U.S.? Since English is the most widely used second language in the world, it could affect non-English fansubs that translate off from English version.

I was waiting for this to come up after Nyoron posted up the C&D on Eva 1.0 a few days ago.
I just wish Funi could actually crank titles out that I care about that they've had licensed for some time now. Or better yet, you just hire the fansub groups, have an ad supported download system and be more upfront with customers about costs for licenses, etc. I recognize that this would take a miracle considering how Japanese companies do things but I think it'd really get a lot more done and we'd be a lot happier about everything. |

I do not care about anything on there except Spice and Wolf and Evangelion
I watched Spice and wolf randomly while scrolling some website, and it is now one of my favorites. And more Eva is always welcome. I dont have any subs for Eva, but Im keeping my fansubs for Spice and wolf till I see an actual release Which I might buy, even though I hate doing unless it is a good series because I like "previewing" my anime before wasting $20+ on it.
