hmmm... nice thread.
i d like to thank all the groups that worked so hard to translate and distribute the anime and manga i ve devoured so far.
a few that come to mind are Doremi, Shinsen-subs (your distro rules), Nanashi, Live-eviL, Soldats (noir
), KAA(you shameless rippers), The Hawks, Omanga, Kotonoha, Studio ADTRW, DPG (artbooks), Fugu Tabetai (MangaTranslation), Storminheaven, r0r1p0p, Nyanko, Dynasty, Takoyakis, AnimeJunkies (RIP), Lunar, Evil-Genius, Cellphone^2, SEED Fansubs, Manga-Sketchbook, Sirhc, Cabbit, Nordic Anime (great Finnish group), Eclipse, Oyasumi, Anime Keep, Ayu...
... i ve forgotten most of you, i m sorry! i m still grateful for your effort!
a big thanks also to those groups whose manga/anime i have not yet seen, or will not ever see, for spreading the religion! (or hobby, or plague, or whatever)
and last but not least an enormous T.H.A.N.K.S to the original creators... i ve supported some of you but robbed most of you... i m sorry, i simply dont have enough money to reward all of you!
