Yup.. I swear the Hong Kong fellows sub it from Japanese to Chinese to English.

MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
heh, I ian't being a suck up to Anbu but the subs they produce are so much better than some of the crap I've seen. Given the choce i'd rather buy a well packaged Anbu/Toryiamas (sp?) version.
I remember watching a scene in RK where a women was talkin to some children and she said 'fuck' randomly. Not only that but they constantly mis-spell names etc.
What if say Anbu releases FMA again. And some stupid jock sell'em on Ebay. Can Anbu get sued, get a fine, or somethin like that...?
If yes then I'm against.
And people that don't have broadband, it's ok if it isn't really expensive. But then again some people are stupid...
I also hate it when people sell these FREE fansubs but what can ya do? Its a good thing Anbu/Aone starts putting after the intro: If you paid for this free fansub, you were ripped off! So when the buyer gets to episode 80, they'll eventually realize they've been duped.
And Uzumaki Naruto #1, if Anbu were to re-release Full Metal Alchemist and that jock starts selling him, I think both Anbu and that jock can get sued because 1) Anbu would be violating the copyright law and 2) the jock would also be violating the copyright law because he is selling the anime that was subbed for free and that anime was currently licensed.
This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!
Lets make one thing clear: They are selling DVD's. They are selling a service... sure its shady... I dont like it... but its not the end of the world. Nobody is twisting the arms of the buyers.
I have a DVD burner which allows me to make my own DVD's. Which I watch on my big ass TV rather then my monitor. Its also better for group viewings. I do it with ANBU subs because they rock. I don't sell the DVD's on ebay but I do make copies for friends for the cost of the DVD.
Which is fine. You're not profiting off of someone elses work. As for the other comments made about distributing anime to those without broadband...you are not supposed to make a profit off of someone elses work. Period. Want to be a nice guy and get dvds to people who don't have broadband in a manner analogous to how fansubs were distributed in the early days, fine. Have them pay for the cost of the DVDs. That's it. Otherwise, you're a thief and I hope you get caught in some white collar crime and spend 7-10 years in prison (a little extreme? so what.)

You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

yeah agree, people who don't have broadband can always do it the old way where you pay for the dvd it will be used on...I just don't think people should be profiting off of fansubs...like this one anime store near where I live..the owner sells and rents fansub dvd's -_- and at an expensive price, pretty much sells them for how much it would cost to by a boxed set of liscened anime ..think around $60
those bakas need to face the wrath of trashcan no jutsu
not sure if this was said but there are offical dvds episode 1-77 last time ic hecked
could be wrong it this was said sorry
you can buy the official boxsets (eps 1 - 70) with english subs here
i am assuming the person that sells these fansubs are most likely not subbing it themselvs but just selling another groups subs, making it illegal. making money off of someone elses work isn't just wrong, but illegal. as for stoopider, your HKs have bad subs because well...they are from hong kong, not the real thing.
i believe the unwritten rule for selling dvds/cds of fansubbed anime online is to sell them for no greater than the price of the dvds/cds themselves + shipping

Yeah, that's pretty much the unwritten rule about it... v_v but isn't followed

I guess the company I work for should be put in jail... they do, after all, make money off of my work.
But anyway, its not illegal. It's shady... not illegal.
yea the lazy assholes should get a job or something. make money the way normal ppl do.
yes, but you work for them. that is different. its like copyright infringement type of stuff. you take someone's elses ideas/works and use it to make money for yourself.
yeah Shin_Naruto, there's a little bit of a difference between an elaborate copyright system between creators/producers and some guy that takes and sells something that someone else is giving away for free
10/4/04 - 8/20/07
I know there is a difference... but its fun to tease statements like that.
They are not selling something that ANBU gives away for free. ANBU doesnt give out free DVD's. There is another step in the process... one that takes time and effort that people are willing to pay for.
Look, its sleezy as all hell... there is no doubt. But ANBU could start selling the DVD's to people if they wanted, which means they would be making money off of Kishimoto and Studio Pierrot's work.
EDIT: vvv your knowledge of the law is quite small vvv
and that would also be illegal.
please be careful with what you label "official" seeing as how those are shipped form hong kong, and by the look of the boxes, they are almost certainly HK rips.
