The thing is, it only takes a raw video file and one person with some free time and a subber program to "fansub" anime. Death Note may be licensed, but subtitle files are already circulating in the fandom. *shrug* Unless they shut down the Internet or something, people will find a way around such complications. Besides, if the Death Note downloads will only be available in the USA/North America I won't think twice about continuing to download fansubs (or subtitles, as it is), and I won't blame anyone who does the same. It's so easy for Americans to talk about domestically available anime and buying episodes and stuff, but people for whom anime is not so easily available take what they can. |

Um, you know, there's no reason to be like that to those of us who want DVDs. Most of us who are saying that aren't people who download fansubs after the show is released (and some of us don't at all). I never buy full albums off of iTunes, either--I prefer physical CDs, which is what I buy when I want the full album. Oh, and if my local music store closes, I'd be willing to bet it's because of Amazon as much as iTunes. Physical mediums are still viable. Think about eBooks--how many people read eBooks, even though they've been out forever? No, most people still go to librarys, bookstores, or go online and order a book. There's no reason to trash us for wanting to have physical proof that we own something, as well as the ability to use what we bought wherever we want, when we want. |

Ok first off, Viz has never really been very good at dubbing or subbing anime. In the past they have been known to edit the content of an anime so much that it is far from what the original creators of the show ever intended it to be. Especially in the case of an anime like Death Note (which I love). That show is very complex and not made for children. I mean look at what they did to One Piece! After they got through with it, it was completely different from the Japanese version.
Also, I can not even express how upset I am that they have asked all fan subbing sites (such as kuro-hana), to stop subbing the show right before the LAST TWO EPISODES ARE RELEASED! I know they haven’t given all the details on what is going to happen to the show now, but if I don’t get to see the last two episodes of this show I will be very sad. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am very upset that Viz got the rights to this wonderful anime. Lucie. |

Yeah, those plans for "Quick releases" didn't exactly go to plan, did they?
Honestly, People need to time these "Series Get"s better. |

Except it was 4Kids who got One Piece, not Viz. Get your facts right before ranting. |

Naruto: minor edits with blood, violence and some language; other than that everything remains, even deaths. Bleach: completely unedited, but if it is they've been so insignificant that nobody has noticed. The dubs are what you make of them, but there has been little to no editing of either show in terms of content. |

Yeah damn Viz and them wanting to protect their license, and darn those fansub groups who broke their code. Don't worry you can see those last two episode, either on DVD or Direct2drive. And that will cost you a whole two dollars for the later choice.
Wait what are you upset about with Naruto, there are standard releases of this series and then there are uncut boxes. I am not sure how that isn't a sweet deal, had it been 4kids we would of never seen uncut dvds for Naruto, in fact they probably would of change Naruto name to Nick. |

Of course, this doesn't help me since you must be a US citizen to use direct2drive, which was a completely ass-headed decision on Viz's part since they're supposed to be distributing the title to ALL of North America. |

But there are different rules when it comes to Canada and the US, its the same on Xbox live marketplace. Canada isn't able to get all the content we get in the US due to certain laws, there are always going to be certain rules that suck you just have to work around them....... |

No, that's not really the case. There are many routes Viz could've taken to deliver this content to all of North America (like other companies have in the past), but instead chose a service that caters specifically to the US. And technically they haven't given us any way to "work around" the situation. |
