Sad Day in Narutoland

[Mr. Roboto]

From the main page:

"Dear AonE fans,

After fansubbing Naruto for over 4 years, we regret to inform everyone that we will not be continuing with the series past season one (episode 220). This is for a variety of reasons but the main being that subbing the show is just no longer fun for a lot of the staff members. The show is also a tremendous use of resources for AonE which is hurting our other shows. Naruto Shippuden is not the only show that we are “dropping”, we will also not be continuing with the Gundam SEED Destiny Special Editions. We will however be subbing the Stargazer OVAs. We ARE still subbing Daa! Daa! Daa!, so do not fear DDD fans.

By making these sacrifices, we can better concentrate on our current shows as well as possibly a new one that we are interested in. We will be doing everything possible to catch up on our backload and finish some old shows (BBB, SnS III, etc) before the next season begins.

These decisions have not come easy. There have been many heated discussions behind the scenes. We are facing an evolving fansubbing world, and unless we consolidate our resources we will be unable to keep up.

We are still recruiting for staff members, particularly Translators, QC, and TSers. Please see us on IRC in #aone-recruit (on irc.rizon.net) and private message an op.

Regardless of the show, AonE will continue to provide high quality fansubs for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for all your support!

AonE Staff"


I always liked their subs of the show. They always put a lot of effort into their subs and quality was superb. I'm going to miss their subs, but I wish them the best of luck with the rest of their subs.

[Kraco]

I visit the main page so rarely that I hadn't even noticed this...

Still, it's a real pity. I was looking forward to archiving the AonE versions like I did with the pre-filler eps. I generally liked their choice of words in translations (not to mention obvious quality aspects).

[Assertn]

Their translations always felt hit-or-miss, but ever since TW stopped subbing, they were the only group that put any effort into the intro/credits subtitles. I always liked those

[RyougaZell]

I stopped caring about them since the fillers began. Ok, the fillers were not worth it, right, but it was painful to see a Naruto release once every three months.

[Terracosmo]

I've been collecting AonE subs to this day, always archiving them, yes, even the filler episodes. So this really is saddening.

Same here. This is very sad, but I can understand what they mean. At the very least, I'm glad they've decided to sub to the very end of season one and not cut somewhere in the middle, for my archives sake.

[JaySee]

214-215 released on front page.

Maybe TW will sub Shipuuden since SD doesn't think it's licensed?

[XanBcoo]

I too archived all of AonE's Naruto subs. This is a bit of a shame, but Dattebayo is decent enough I guess.

Their translations always felt hit-or-miss,

"What is this coercion-ness??"

[Harima Kenji]

Sad to hear, indeed... Always waited for their releases, but I stopped completely since the fillers began.

Being the eternal optimist that I am, I still hope that one day they start to think that Shippuuden is worth subbing and start with that. (Unless I misunderstand, they've stopped mainly bc they didn't like the series anymore... am I right?)
Even releasing them in the same amount of time K-F does One Piece.. when the subbers have time and are bored..

But I guess that my hopes are just my hopes.
I'm really happy that AonE finishes this series, and that they started it in the first place

Even though I'm happy that DB does this series, and I can get my weekly fix once again, I hope that a quality subber picks this up..

[DarthEnderX]

They already finished this series way back when they did episode 136.

Anyway, I suppose they're more interesting in subbing series nobody else is subbing.

Instead of, you know, shows people like.

[Assertn]

"What is this coercion-ness??"

They......translated chouji's reference to his bag of chips as a "gourmet meal"

[Carnage]

This blows. Now the best hope for good-quality eps is for somebody to put up Uncut English DVD - Rips online.

[AnimeFan]

This is really sad. However, I'm sure that their reasons are legit and sound enough... so there.
