The generic "What happened to this Fansub Group" thread

[SeijiSensei]

I've seen them collaborate on some series recently, but I'm concerned that someone going to Ureshii's site expecting to find out about an older series like Dennou Coil will be puzzled indeed. There's no mention on the current home page that says anything about the status or fate of either of the predecessor groups.

Froth-Bite's website still exists as a separate entity, though there hasn't been a posting since last summer. There are links to more recent releases like Toshokan Sensou with a December date.

Hi SeijiSensei, I can confirm that the ureshii website has been set up to automatically refer to the Frostii site. As ureshii isn't an entity any more, we've decided to get rid of most of the info on the site, so that's the reason for the auto-link. Also, if you check Frostii's first newspost (probably in the archive now), it mentions the union between ureshii and Frostii.

I actually thought all the torrents on the ureshii scarywater tracker had died by now, but it seems it hasn't. I'll raise the point among the staff and see what they say. Thanks for the heads up!

[SeijiSensei]

Are you suggesting that those torrents will be taken down in the near future? If so, I guess I'd better do another round of browsing before they disappear!

Is Eclipse still around? Their website has been down for days, something that's never ever happened before.

From their IRC channel topic:

Tracker has been shut down, we're working on things. Stay tuned.

According to their channel, they're trying to set up a new site, and if they haven't been able to till the next release(s) they're planning to use public trackers for them...

So there's hardly any worry for anyone waiting for the next HnG etc release of theirs...

Edit; Eclipse has set up a new site, which is permanent, and even their old site should work now^^, though for the old site there's no guarantee it will last so I suggest you bookmark the new site once you find it...

[Hallgaar]

Anyone know what's up with rumbel? They slowed down on their posting and then today I go to their website and the domain is for sale.

Kiwi Anime
the site was last update in 03

@ASR1
Their website's last update pretty much spells out what happened to the group.

Very few groups are able to resurrect and come back from the dead *cough* <___< *cough* but that's really something short of a miracle.

Yeah I know. But alot of such group STILL have their sites up and running. Some not being update since 9 and even 11 years ago. makes you wonder why they would still pay to have it running.

[General_Asakura]

[TheFluff]

Aero is dead, Norikumi is subbing Mouryo right now and from what I heard they are going to release some episodes soon, they were waiting for the BD. Hml-Rms did episode nine using tokzu's subs so maybe they will do ten now.

Frostii are also planning to do Bluray rips of this series, so you might want to wait a while!

[npcomplete]

speaking of Frostii, what about old Ureshii projects like Asatte no Houkou DVDs?

[Koroku]

They occasionally get released, but when they folded, a number of Ureshii projects got dropped, like Ghost Hound... and a couple others, i can't remember what.

[metamorphic]

Many of Ureshii and Froth-Bite's longtime projects — including Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora, the DVD releases for Asatte no Houkou and Black Jack — are currently being worked on, and we have plans to release them all.

[totoum]

Is spoonsubs still alive? the site hasn't been updated in a while.

I'm asking because GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class is coming out and spoonsubs worked on other art shows like Sketchbook and Hidamari Sketch.

Thanks for any info
