I really liked the fall/winter(whatever we called it) preview last year and I look forward to another good showing. Just get the whip ready if anyone starts complaining. |

Well, Bamboo has amazing articles and the encyclopedia staff do a great job in presenting data so I make the assumption that they are very talented. mk2000 |

The same difference here would be TV torrents for shows such as Heroes.. The TV stations are usually not amused by the posting of broadcasts on the internet.. but I think the sooner the actual TV stations find a way of transmitting globally, the better. US anime fans need legitimate ways to see the TV broadcast of series before being able to make an intelligent decision on the purchases of releases, after all. Unfortunately, fansubs aren't legitimate, they are copyright infringement, but the sooner they are replaced by legitimate channels, the better.

knowledge is free. That's definitely include anime.
They will not stop us. |

If knowledge is free, then you're sure as hell not using it since you can't even write properly! |

You know full well exactly what I meant by that and intimating that I was suggesting you (or, even more infuriatingly, I) didn't know we had talented staff is tasteless and insulting. |

Well the reason I like ANN, as opposed to other anime websites, is because they don't seem to include fansub stuff too regularly as a part of their news and reviews. I want information on anime products that I might like to buy. News about current fansub episodes is pointless to me since I wont be able to watch it for for a year or more if it gets licensed at all. ANN seems like they take an anti-funsub position, but I wish they did even more so. For example, I don't like it that when I'm browsing through the top 100 anime shows on the Encyclopedia, many titles haven't even been licensed yet. Maybe they could have a licensed only list or something. |

It's "Anime News Network." Not "Anime News That Only Pertains to America Network". Let's say you just watched Haruhi on the american released dvds, loved it, and want to know if there is a season 2 planned without waiting the extra 1-2 years of licensing/producing before getting that news, sound reasonable?

Funny I always thought of anime as being more like entertainment rather then knowledge which isn't always free. Maybe you want to try for the "Making fansubs illegal is violation of my freedom of expression" angle. |

Yeah that's it, it's not at all that I take my staff seriously and know that they are all tremendously talented writers. It has nothing to do with the fact that I don't really think it's awesomely hilarious to suggest that I don't already know they're really talented folks. Like 90 percent of your posts seem like trolling what's up with that man? |

You say that as if ANN is trying to pretend fansubs don't exist. It's not as if they're going to not touch upon the subject whatsoever. That isn't the point at all. |

Granted, if that were the case, then we wouldn't be seeing some of the older titles that never get licensed over here. Some of us are already aware of titles that aren't licensed over here, and have taken the time to see them on television as well. ANN is not 100% dependant on fansubs, and I am not going to contest the issue of fansubs, because that only gives people a headache here. The encyclopedia would not be what it is without the inclusion of older titles which we'll never see over here. And ANN is pretty international too. |
