    Sorry, but unless their channel on irc (#sonchou-fansubs on rizon) is lying, "Sonchou WILL CONTINUE to sub FMA"

    So, yeah, I did check for myself [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

    This is something i don't get about some people.

    Granted someone will just do DVD rips, but thats even wary.

    You would think when something gets licensed on R1, people will be happy that it comes out on DVD, it comes to your market, hell, FMA will even be on TV.

    But no, most are not.

    Most condem fansub groups for quiting subbing something once it gets licensed.

    Myself, i buy the DVD's i want, im not saying GO OUT AND BUY EVERY ANIME DVD.

    But if you like a series enough to go download it, complain when it gets licensed, ask for another group once a group stops it after being licensed, then why not buy the DVD's when they come out?

    This is getting quite distrubing. Its a recent trend, i assume if someone like ADV gets naruto, this will boil over into people spamming aone, and etc.

    Its a nasty new trend to not want something to get licensed, why would you not want something licensed?

    Sure you may not be able to collect fansubs of it, but who cares?

    Soon you'll get DVD video, professional sub and dub and the works.

    Some people make the argument, "well i hate dubs, so i don't buy the DVD's, its not the way the creatore wanted you to see it"

    Neither is it with english subs numnuts.

    To sum my long winded rant up, im not mad at people who love a series and make a comotion when it gets licensed, im mad at the people who once something gets licensed, continue to carry on , bad mouth groups who drop it, and so on.

    i like fan subs because i dont have enough money to buy dvds and theyre usually 30 bucks for 2-3 eps, for me i hope naruto doesnt get licensed anytime soon.

    30 dollars a DVD?

    where are you shopping?

    i get my DVD's for 22-25 dollars.

    but most people don't understand my point

    series widely popular like FMA and naruto get licensed, like FMA just did.

    My point im makeing, if people download these every release, go into rooms, especially naruto, ask when the next ep is out, complain when it isn't.

    Then, when it gets licensed, the recoil of, OMG LETS FIND ANOTHER GROUP.

    If you go through that much trouble to find another group,check everyday for a new episode, and its a series that YOU FOLLOW FOR 82 GOD DAM EPISODE, or in FMA's case 31, why not go for the DVD's?

    In all honesty, Lego, the reason I hate licenses on shows I watch from fansub groups is the wait (usually a year or more) before we see anything from the company. I'll definatley buy FMA R1 DVD's, but I can't be into 31 episodes and say, "okay, next year, I'll finish it!".

    I understand where you're coming from, now see where I'm coming from.

    BigR, your not the people im mad at.

    Im down(haha, homie [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] ) with people that watch a series on fansubs, then go and buy it once it hits the R1 market, i have no problem with that, and i understand where your coming from.

    also what sucks is how long will it take to catch up to where we have already seen.

    Shar, thats why i agree with Big R, and thats what i do.

    I keep getting fansubs of a show, or as in ROD TV and GITS SAC's case, since there finished, and i enjoyed them, ill watch the DVD's of them.

    or in your case with naruto or FMA, pick up the DVD's as they come out.

    its not that hard to save up 23-25 bucks every 4-5 months for a DVD.

    You guys are lucky over there in the States cuz you'll be able to see all those great Animes on DVD. But over here in Europe in some countries you don't get the chance to ever grab them so that's why it's better to see them subbed than being licensed and gone forever. Or lets say for years till they're old and really everybody has seen them on TV or whatever and they are finaly releasing the DVD's over here. This sucks you know. -_-

    That sucks, but away around it is to have a regionless DVD player and just import them from the states or japan.

    For that you need a way to buy them and without a credit card your doomed. A credit card you can only get if you're having a nice monthly income which is not really easy for a non-payed student. It's all "Ein Teufelskreislauf" as we used to say in my country. Yup yup...

    Dont' worry about it people will still sub even though it's lisenced. God i love illegal distribution of a legally owned product, it just make you feel alive.

    I gotta agree with Lego...

    Why bad mouth any groups for that matter. They are doing it for free, and releasing it to the fans. Without them you wouldnt get to see it at all. I like downloading fan subs but i do buy DVDs ( and back in the VHS spend over $3000 on VHS alone O_o ) when the series is good.

    There are series I thought that looked good, but totally sucked ballz. So Iam glad i watched the fan subbed versions, to find out which series a good and which arent. I'll will download FMA cuz I wanna see how it turns out and its worth buying the whole series.

    DVDs in my area range from $40 - 60 a peice...so I want to know if i wont be disappointed. ( Which happened alot...in my pre fan sub days) Even if I import it from the US it will end up costing me more, with shipping and exchange.

    The US gets alot of cool stuff, which doesnt come here asap or at all. We dont get alot of anime on TV, just the same non good story stuff. (We just got inuyasha tho it seems pretty good but they stopped playing gundam wing -.-)

    Note: Damn you Square release Xenogears greatest hits here! I want another new copy you. Bring it to canada! My original is slowly dying, and I dont wanna copy it. *eye twiches* The fans here want it, it will sell!

    My final point.

    Ppl are gonna complain about everything and anything. Anything that they dont agree with. Its best not to take someone comments to heart, cuz all its gonna do is piss you off if it goes against what you believe in. You arent gonna change the other person's mind so why get upset? It just seems like a waste of time and energy to.

    Just watch the anime and enjoy it

    Lego, you are the voice of reason. God bless you soul.

    Haven't you noticed that it's the people who dont have the money to get the dvd's are the ones complaining? Maybe it's just me, I dont know.

    Sure, I was somewhat dissapointed that the series got licensed. I'm mad that my weekly downloads of FMA are no more.

    But I approve of anything making its way here. You get much better sound quality, definetely video quality. Dubs aent terrible, only when they rehash voices. Every time I look at Roger Smith, I think of Spike Spiegel. Whenever I see Hiei, I think Android 17.

    Heres the way I think it should be done: It'll be OK for Funimation or Bandai to license a series, but just wait until the series is over before doing so. That way America can release the episodes 5 times a week (Adult Swim).

    Inuyasha was a case where the show went on so long, that it got licensed sooner than normal, but Inuyasha goes much longer than FMA's 52 episodes.

    My complaint about americans handling anime is how it's released (especially on DVD). Not so much price, I dont mind that part. It does bother me with the "3 episodes per dvd per month" bit. It honestly cant take that long to dub the anime, and refine any other rough edges the show produces.

    I'm Gaaralovessand, and I approve of this licensed series.
