I didn't really get the last episode because Akari sends Takaki that text after she finds the letter. Did she tell him what she had always wanted to, what was in that letter, or just dream about it and smile and move on? I agree, I thought it was sad but it was real.

I make sing-along/karaoke video's so that people can learn the lyrics to anime songs, so far I've had 2 deleted for copyright infringement. I understand that by using the song itself or by using a single picture from an anime is "copyright" but as you said, it's annoying, especially when there are full episodes from said anime that are allowed to stay. I also find it quite pointless to put disclaimers in the video information- as I did- stating who the song is by, which anime company the pictures belong to etc. because the video's are removed anyway. Sorry, this turned into a rant XD I enjoy reading your articles- I agree with you on fansubbing btw :D I understand your gripe here becasue a simlar thing has happened to me(referring to your first example).

]]> Comment on Fansubs and what the R1 industry needs to do by snaphappyfma http://animeyume.com/blog/2008/08/08/fansubs-and-what-the-r1-industry-needs-to-do/#comment-62411 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:26:04 +0000 http://animeyume.com/blog/2008/08/08/fansubs-and-what-the-r1-industry-needs-to-do/#comment-62411 I agree with Yumeka. I have purchased all of the Saiyuki and Saiyuki Reload manga (to date; volumes are still coming out). I would not have done so, if I hadn't been a Saiyuki fan. And I wouldn't have become a Saiyuki fan, if I hadn't been able to watch the anime through fansubs. I have also purchased all of the official soundtrack CDs for the Fullmetal Alchemist series, as well as the official soundtrack CD for the Conquerer of Shamballa movie (NOT cheap; it's a single two-CD set and cost me around $28). And... I wouldn't have become a Fullmetal Alchemist fan, if I hadn't watched some of it on the Cartoon Network and also some fansubs of it. The U.S. industry and the original Japanese licensors need to find out some way, as Yumeka discusses, to deliver subbed anime eps to non-Japanese fans more quickly, and in some way that we can/will pay for it. I for one wouldn't mind a Netflix-type arrangement, in which I would pay a set monthly fee in return for renting DVDs/being able to watch immediate downloads of NEW anime eps from Japan. There are a lot of smart people both here and in Japan, and I'm sure something will get worked out, to the benefit of the industry both here and in Japan, and for the fans. I agree with Yumeka.

It was nice to see a variety of years represented in the survey, since most only cover recent series. :) Let’s see, popular shoujo…
- Cardcaptor Sakura; I’m a bit surprised you didn’t include it since you seem to be a fan
- Lovely Complex has been pretty big recently, although if you’re looking for things with proven staying power it’s still new
- Full Moon wo Sagashite is fairly popular and very well-regarded
- Kyo Kara Maoh! seemed pretty popular last time I checked
- Gakuen Alice is one that’s not mainstream but popular with anime fans
- Shugo Chara! is still airing, but it’s been getting a lot of attention

Good call on including Utena, by the way! It was nice to see a variety of years represented in the survey, since most only cover recent series. :)
