Um, ok. So for those who watched the download of Digimon 02 dubbed, how is it? Is it really uncut or the same Saban edits from the FOX Kids era? Are the voice actors the same, or different?
But the question is, does Naoko Takeuchi even have a say to what Toei can do with the anime property? |

So I take it Toei also jacked 4Kids' license on PreCure.

It's not hip enough for the pre-teen female market over here. It would have to undergo localization and hope that the girls would bite. Also, depending on how young of a target audience you aim for (under 10 yo), it would be too violent and would have to be "cut". In the end, Toei did the right thing and put it up as subtitled for download only. |

Guys, the episodes are subtitled. Every place that I've gone to has talked about the subtitles. Even one person posted this image.

Hm, everything in this service seems to be WMV files. Might be good for the Zune. But there seems to be DRM, so it might not actually work...
Even the preview on the site is in Japanese. And yet, the website says that the language is in English... |

Oh wow, so it's really subtitled? This is exciting!
Can anyone comment on the quality of the subs, how accurate they are, etc.? And in light of this confirmation, please fix your news story, ANN. |

Looks like someone fell asleep at the keyboard over at Toei HQ. 
Can you blame them?

Um yeah, she can, considering all the rights for the property belong to her and she is sitting pretty on them. So I imagine if they wanted the rights bad enough, they would have to tell her exactly what they planned to do so she could approve or not. If they put Sailor Stars up, that would be the first and only time I would ever be willing to pay for downloaded anime. Otherwise watching it on my computer just doesn't appeal to me. I'm old school and gotta have a TV -_- |

Srsly!! Although, you may still be able to watch them with VLC or Flip4Mac. Anyone have any clue if they work on Macs if you have WMV plug-ins/VLC? That and, DVDs, please!! Everyone knows the license-buying dork crowd goes for the shiny plastic. |

Glad to see Precure being released over here, but I'm sad it's not being dubbed for TV. I realize this is the way to keep it from being localized, but I think this way it will miss most of its target demographic and as someone who was introduced to anime through DiC's Sailor Moon, it is sort of a let down.
At any rate, I'm interested to see how this goes and what Toei might do next. |

Let's not forget with the DRM you could be SOL with unplayable files if D2D ever goes out of business, Toei pulls their license (or even if D2D stops supporting their own DRM).
I guess Toei wasn't happy when BVUSA took their top spot in the Japanese Company Botching Their North American Business Model category. |

By the way, if anyone wants to write Toei and ask for a DVD release of PreCure besides me, I whitepaged their U.S. division mailing address:
TOEI Animation Inc 11150 W Olympic Boulevard 1150 Los Angeles, CA 90064 Let's all write some polite letters for DVD releases of Precure! |
