Licencing fee per one episode $10,000~70,000 (?? at the peak) ----- $~5,000 (2007) Anyway, with those prices they could pretty much reclaim their costs only by doing online distribution for about $1-2 dollars per download, by minimizing bandwidth costs with torrents or something. DVDs would be almost pure profit. That, of course, assumes only subs and that most people would stop downloading fansubs but still it's possible, especially if the official releases are of equal quality to fansubs and released faster. I know, I know, fantasies. Thanks for that information and link dtshyk. |

| Great, for people in the US. I think they should release the shows in the UK and other English speaking countries at the same time rather than about 4 months after. Also, in answer to them bitching about it being watched online they should offer a sub and Japanese audio on the DVD (with extra charge probably), I know I would probably stop watching online if that was the case. If they looked up what people thought of their dubs maybe they would understand (Ouran v.v) |

| I'm fine with licensing but only if its a show that has finished airing. Licensing shows that are on-going are what tick me off. Anyway I'll just patiently see what they announce, hope it's not something still on air and wait for the boxsets for titles I'd be willing to pay for. Here's to Higurashi Kai being licensed =D. |

It's just generally the fact that if they're good enough to be getting paid for it, then they have to be better than some of the awful fansubs I've come across. Also most translators are native Japanese speakers, which has to be better than someone who studies it for three years and suddenly claims to know the grammar perfectly and all the street slang. |

Not always. Definitely not always. But in most cases, your average fansub viewer does not want to wait for higher quality translations (be they fansubs or official subs) and will latch on to whatever group happens to be the quickest, no matter how awful the quality is.Um, then how do explain equally or more accurate translations from fansubbers? And what proof do you have for that statement anyway? Am I really expected to believe that speedsub groups that do this for free produce a better quality translation than people who get paid for their work? From what I've seen, most people who insist that fansubs are better in quality know little to no Japanese. I've even seen people say "it's my opinion." That's bull. There is no opinion in this matter. Do you like the translation style (mistranslated karaoke, purple subs in some ridiculous and unreadable font, etc.)? Fine. That's your opinion.

Daniyelllx said: That's a generalization AND an assumption. One of the reasons a lot of fans get frustrated by the work put forth by the official companies is precisely that they should put forth a good translation, since they are getting paid for it, but end up doing inaccurate or rushed translations, completely missing the point of most conversations.It's just generally the fact that if they're good enough to be getting paid for it, then they have to be better than some of the awful fansubs I've come across.

Plate said: I was talking about the English dubs. Of course the [English] dubs are higher quality because the budget's higher — that's my point. What I was saying was that there's nothing wrong with English VAs in general; those dubs I mentioned are proof of that. It's just the companies choose bad VAs (or have bad dub directing).JadeMatrix said: I wouldn't go so far as to list only high budget shows as those with excellent Japanese voice acting. :/NikuiKira12 said: No, just that most dubs don't have the effort put into them that dubs for the likes of GitS:SAC and the Ghibli films do.Japanese VA are alot better thna english VA......

Hraesvelgr said: I've said it before, and I'll say it again — the reason they're all that stupid yellow font is because the DVDs are soft-subbed, and that yellow font is programmed into the DVD player. For someone with a white font programmed in, the same DVD will have white subs. That's the *only* merit to having image- instead of text-based subs: the DVD can have a custom font/color.Plate said: There's a reason why they only use yellow, white and... green, I think.Apparently neither is making your subs something other than yellow. |

| The internet is full of wonderous arguments and fights. I usually never find DVD Rips of anime I watch that have been licensed and aired...why? Is it because they are bad? As it was say some amount of pages ago; for what anime is aimed at, the userbase does not have the money for it, and most parents aren't willing to spend that much because.. the price is outrageous. They usually always are, even if the anime was good; it's just too damn pricey for our current situation in the US. As for the "Fansubs are better than offical releases" bit; I don't know Japanese entirely just yet, but Fansubs usually do seem better translated. Anyway; once prices become somewhat reasonable with anime, I'll start paying for it, more anyway. |

| I'm one of the few actually excited about this. I look forward to whatever FUNimation chooses to bring, but I figure 10 guesses couldn't do any harm: 1) Shana II (assuming Shana sold well enough to warrant Season 2's licensing) 2) Seto no Hanayome (it was a C&D, it was never licensed) 3) Bokurano (another C&D from long ago) 4) Soul Eater (a recent C&D) 5) Bamboo Blade (see above) 6) Shikabane Hime Kuro (I'm betting Shikabane was a package deal for both seasons) 7) Aquarion OVAs (the TV series sold well) 8) Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations (just because they are almost done with Tsubasa) 9) xxxHOLiC Kei (why not, Season 1 sold well for them) 10) Slayers Revolution (CPM can't, so FUNi is the alternative) I would only buy the first 7, assuming it gets released in the usual, cheap 12-13 episode boxsets. FUNimation is still the strongest company in R1 and they are certainly going to be flexing some muscles for a while. I like DVDs because I can watch them in my living room, on my nice big TV and surround sound, nothing beats that sort of viewing. The lack of knowledge of how the NA industry works is appalling. It's really sad. |

I don't know what anime series you seek, but you can't be 100% ignorant of what's been going on. FUNimation has begun releasing (as has Bandai), box sets. Where they be 8-9 episode sets(Bandai) or 12-13 episode sets(FUNimation). Geass, a Bandai Ent property, has come in 9/8/8 sets for Season 1, same for Gurren Lagann in 3 9-episode sets. As for FUNimation, they are slowly doing away with singles as only certain properties get singles (probably due to Japanese contract obligation). If your seeking Darker than Black, Baccano and Claymore -- just a few examples, you'll have to wait for a complete collection later down the line. As for the FUNi-Geneon deal, like Higurashi and Karin for example, they had to complete the singles release so they wouldn't anger people who already bought Higurashi vol.1-3 or Karin vol.1-2.Nozomi, another R1 company, has been releasing anime in sub-only, very cheap, box sets for ages now. Emma, MariMite and now recently, Aria. Boxsets are slowly taking over the majority of the market now, singles are slowly being eradicated from the market, its only a matter of time. |

Where they be 8-9 episode sets(Bandai) or 12-13 episode sets(FUNimation). Geass, a Bandai Ent property, has come in 9/8/8 sets for Season 1, same for Gurren Lagann in 3 9-episode sets. As for FUNimation, they are slowly doing away with singles as only certain properties get singles (probably due to Japanese contract obligation). If your seeking Darker than Black, Baccano and Claymore -- just a few examples, you'll have to wait for a complete collection later down the line. As for the FUNi-Geneon deal, like Higurashi and Karin for example, they had to complete the singles release so they wouldn't anger people who already bought Higurashi vol.1-3 or Karin vol.1-2.Nozomi, another R1 company, has been releasing anime in sub-only, very cheap, box sets for ages now. Emma, MariMite and now recently, Aria. Boxsets are slowly taking over the majority of the market now, singles are slowly being eradicated from the market, its only a matter of time. Yea The High School Host Club is season 1 part 1 13 episodes. ^_^ Part 2 is out January 6 and you get the last 13 episodes |

Edit: I don't mind them licensing stuff but if they stop fansubs with C&Ds they can go fuck themselves. The world is more than America. Agreed. If they pull that bullshit again I'll be pissed. |

They're attempting to C&D with Soul Eater. High chance that they'll try and do it with other series they're gonna license. |

Ellechan said: Actually, they have all the rights to do it with the anime they license, since the whole point of buying the distribution right is that you are the only way of obtaining the anime in your region. The main thing that pisses people off is that they try to destroy the subs of shows they DON'T license, apparently due to the japanese companies asking them to do it (which is really stupid, considering the Japanese company doesn't wins or loses any money unless they strike a deal with a distribution company from another region).Veronin said: kuroshiroi said: cyruz said: QFT.Fuck, no.
