I agree it's annoying, but from a marketing standpoint I'm sure it helps them sell DVDs. Rather than remove all the fanservice to conform to TV Tokyo's codes, they can slap on the yellow tape and give fans another reason to buy the DVDs. It seems like a lot of anime series are doing this lately, there's Chocosis, Gun x Sword blocked service out in at least one episode (although not with yellow tape), Girls Bravo was like that with the fog on the TV broadcast being removed for the DVDs, and even Canvas 2 has 'extra fanservice' on the DVDs that wasn't in the broadcast version.

According to a post on Akai-Anime's website from a week ago, they're going to sub it--but they're also recruiting editors and timers, so I'm sure the timing of when we see GA II fansubs will depend on their success recruiting.

Just finished downloading the raw, I'll probably only get 5% of the dialogue but I'll watch it anyway since I love GA. There's a paragraph in the GA II Wikipedia entry that makes me wonder if the anime is going to have an ongoing plot instead of just being random single-episode adventures that aren't really connected like the original series--did anyone who watched the first ep see any signs of that?
