I know very little Japanese, small vocabulary, a few dozen kanji, etc. With anime, I can usually watch raws and get at least the gist of what's going on. So when groups were slow to pick up HS, I got the raws. "How difficult could it be?" I thought to myself.

Heh.

Seiji is right: I couldn't begin to follow what was going on, b/c it was just lots of dialogue and little action demonstrating it. For this reason, I never complained about the work or the slowness of the first season. But I am desperate to see fansubs of this show. I only wish I could contribute to a group's effort in some significant way...
