Actually as some of you know Anime-kraze was one of the groups doing Ghost in the Shell before requested by Bandai. I actually just decided to go straight to Bandai themselves and ask them about Season 2. And They have licensed it, and will be out in full force to get after fansubbers again like Gundam Seed and Ghost in the Shell. Apparently Ghost in the shell is their big one they really are going after people for. Mostly because it was pre licensed and I guess its a higher end or something according to Jerry (Hes the Marketing Manager for Bandai). I am in contact with them on a regular basis because nobody wants to start to sub and then BAM be asked to stop. I Do know for sure if you slap yer name on GITs you will be called out on it. So be very cautious, I know last season They were even talking about using legal action against fansubbers for Ghost in the shell and Gundam seed after warnings. Just wanted to let people know!

Well I'm betting SOMEONE will sub GITS 2nd Gig. It will be intresting to see what Bandai will do if they do. If they want to, I'm sure clever people can easily hide themselves under a few rocks and stop Bandai from doing much to them.
I wish Bandai would just hurry up with Seed and GITS:SAC. The second series is already starting out in Japan and theres been little news on the R1 release of the second. Same with Seed |

It's best to just leave pre-licensed series alone. For one, you would definitely be a total bootlegger by subbing a pre-licensed series. Also, its probably 5x as risky when Bandai is involved knowing they've taken the gloves off with cutting down groups trying to do their series.
If you ask me, I say the digisubbing community as a whole needs to just totally leave pre-licensed series alone. Then the companies can see how much the R1 sales drop for the pre-licensed titles that never got a fansub for them. Well, besides something like GITS which is widely known from the movie of course. If Paranoia Agent is indeed pre-licensed that would be a good example. The website is intentionally sketchy on details about the show, and you really have no way of telling what the series is like therefore... so if groups avoid subbing it, whose gonna shell out cash on a series they might not like? |
