Why would someone sub a series that's already subbed? Why don't you go digging around and see what you find ;)

It's been done before. Tower of Druaga and Blassreiter were both provided for free, yet some groups still did it.

I like to collect all my anime on an HDD, so yea.

I'm sure you can find torrentz with good quality

noone is subbing it since it is released via PS3
I suppose your real question is where can I download this anime in good quality? :D

You can't really sub an anime that already has subs, and why would anyone want to? That completely defeats the meaning of fansubs.

I thought it was $3 for SD, $4 for HD.....anyway, it's too damn much either way, especially when you can only have it for 24 hours after downloading.........seriously, wtf?

Anyway, I know I've seen at least one group doing this - search on TokyoTosho.
You've come a long way, baby.

Karaoke, new fonts, encoding, more literal translations.

As I've mentioned above, Tower of Druaga and Blassreiter were released for free and some groups are still releasing them in fansubs.

Yes that's true, but then they weren't released via PS3 so it's not quite the same

i dont know much on fansubbing, but don't you need a raw to sub on?

try GGR

There are no Xam'd raws. It's a PSN exclusive in the US. The Japanese PSN gets it in the fall. No raws = no groups subbing.

But there ARE groups subbing it. I'm guessing they obtain the video from PSN, then rip it, do whatever to the subs, karaoke, etc., and upload it.

Effort have released episode 1, at just over 300mb. Which is an improvement on what a group last night released it at: 2GB. No thank you. ;D

No one is subbing it, they're just ripping it from PSN and uploading it after encoding it.

Doesn't "more literal translations" count as subbing? Assuming, of course, that this is possible, then putting a different translation on the video counts as subbing, methinks.

But how do you change the subs on a video that is already hard-subbed via PS release?

How do you get rid of the original subs and replace them with your own (with different font)

Sure they can add Karaoke (OP and ED is english though) and re-encode it.

But what's the point, really?

So far i'm tracking GGR (180-ish MB per episode, nice quality) releases

I dunno, I said "if this is possible" because I don't know how the process works.

I do know that there are sub-ripping and sub-muxing programs, which is why I speculated in the first place.

And I guess the only point would be if someone didn't think the translation already provided was good enough.

The translation provided is good enough though, although it wouldn't surprised me if someone did pick it up later when actual raws do become available.

The only thing that annoys me is that good quality SD releases are fewer, slower, and rarer compared to the number of HD releases (which I can't even play because my computer's components are just a barely too old).

I know that the people releasing are paying for this, though, and if they can afford a PS3 and a computer good enough to rip and encode the episodes they probably prefer HD for themselves. I should be grateful for whatever I get. Still... *sigh*

If I had a PS3 I would totally rent this series too but I can't even afford to upgrade my computer. =/

I'm not sure if they have one. Do they actually retranslate the videos downloaded over PSN or are they just reencodes?

Anyway, just search for the files on http://www.tokyotosho.com/ and you'll find it.

afaik they just reencode.
They don't have their own website, you just need to look for their stuff, like where okand recommended.
