*bump* Sad, I was hoping that Bugmaster would have a chance of showing at the opening of GV's VivoCity Multiplex; because they are having a European Union Film Festival; but I guess not. Its unfair!! Why does DeathNote get to be shown here and Mushishi not??

nororu · 2006-10-02, 14:46

highly recommend it if haven't watch it...

it's profund as they come...

wao · 2006-10-03, 01:17

Lost: I thoguht you were lying until I saw a trailer of Death Note (死亡日记?) on the TV at the Clementi MRT station... orz

But Mushishi has like MUCH less of a following in Singapore compared to Death Note

Even in Japan... And if hte movie was lousy they're even less likely to show it. Why show a confusing movie about a manga few people read? The producers wouldn't agree to it.

Perhaps we'll see it appear some day in some obscure screening somewhere....

But I'm STILL hoping for Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo

*gasp* why would I lie about that?

As the caveat goes, this does not mean they have the license for these shows and may be acting on the behalf of the Japanese licensor that they have an existing relationship with. We've seen it happen this way in the past and the title licensed elsewhere. But in all reality, more often than not it does mean that these titles are shifted to the "highly likely" if not guaranteed category, just not necessarily by FUNimation. Titles mentioned include:

# XXXholic TV (24 episodes)
# Ragnarok the Animation (26 episodes)
# Mushishi (26 episodes)
# Suzuka (26 episodes)
# Sakura Taisen La Nouveau Paris (3/OVA)
# ATASHIn'CHI (either 1 movie or "141" TV episodes)

Sigh Sigh Sigh. I believe I was waiting for the last episode.

Anyway, to talk about this reasonably; I suppose its actually quite a fantastic thing that Mushishi is so near to licensing (Never expected it). If done well, it can only improve the popularity of the show. Well, I suppose we need to standby for more news.

Tzurial · 2006-10-06, 14:47

oh damnit, right before the last episode. But my selfish feelings aside, I really am happy. :>

gianna · 2006-10-06, 15:08

Would they really send out C & D letters if a licensing wasn't obtained - What happens to a series before it is officially licensed - is there some spot between not licensed and licensed

(oh yeah - a while ago someone asked for fan art links - sorry but I can't find the post so if you still want them please say so)

lommm · 2006-10-06, 15:23

i think i was one of the people wanting fan art links...

as to the c&d letters.... the group that had been doing it has the script done... they didn't say they won't release it, just that there's nothing official... so you might still get to see it fansubbed.... no one has actually licensed it yet... or you could learn Japanese

Ichigo91 · 2006-10-06, 15:52

That really sux, only 1 ep to go and now its licenced!
And C1 have dropped Mushishi

WAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

chucky · 2006-10-06, 20:48

I dont mind these north american distributors telling animesuki to cease posting it and fansubs to drops the series, but:

1) I didnt read the C&D letter, but didnt at least some of these subs help its promotion? They dont need to start this with legal threat at the very beginning, as suggested by the title "cease and desist".....

2) If they keep sending C&D, how about they just at the same time set a release time so the fans would know how long they have to wait for? Guess that's more polite....

Cal-Reflector · 2006-10-06, 21:22

The situation is so depressing one cannot help but laugh at it. The last episode of the series! Like tearing the last page out of a gripping detective novel or thriller.

Veritas · 2006-10-06, 21:27

I don't care who, but someone must pick up the last episode. Someone. That's just ridiculous.

Lost · 2006-10-07, 00:43

This is shite. That just ruined my day. Mushishi being left uncompleted; me thinks its a disgrace.

A C&D can ONLY be issued AFTER an anime is licensed.

Anyone know where I may procure the script? <PM>

Kyomi · 2006-10-07, 00:44

I was waiting on the last release to start watching, maybe I did a good thing seeing all those people having to stop at the last episode, I agree it's realy not a nice feeling to have.

Let us not get depressed shokun, get your spirits up.
Besides, whatever happens at this rate, if not officialy liscensed we will get to see it subbed soon, or if it is, the DVDs will be there.

wao · 2006-10-07, 08:09

This new layout is a little distracting..

Well, at least this licensing news still is good news for you guys over there (although you'd have to wait a long time for the last ep...) it's just tough luck for us people because it sure as hell ain't getting licensed here soon (BUT I'LL WORSHIP WHOEVER DOES, even if it's Odex and the translations suck) and imported DVDs would be quite expensive.

Then again, if they sit on the license for a while, by the time they release the DVDs I might be able to start buying things online...

Bah, but I'm sure you'll see the last episode float up some day soon. It's just one episode. I'd almost do it if my Japanese proficiency hadn't been deteriorating these past few weeks...

Ooooh! That'd be great!

Umm, I have been wondering which are the corresponding manga chapters to episodes 21-26. If this had been posted somewhere, I simply couldn't find it ^^;

Edit: Oh okay, the Wikipedia article lists it.

LoL if you ever do it, can u please keep the filesize below 180 mb. So I can fit all my eps into one dvd. It makes it so much easier to lend and introduce it to friends.

There is a spanish subbed release of the last episode (#26) by AnimeUnderground
( http://www.aunder.org/ )

Torrent

http://isohunt.com/torrents/?ihq=mushishi+26 )

There is also the unsubbed 235MB l33t-raw version.

There should be lots of people that could qualify in translating from spanish, right? And then someone that knows japanese could just have a look at it before the release and make some final changes. Just a suggestion, i mean it is kind of sad to only have ep 1-25 when there are 26 of em. I think someone has the oportunity to gain herostatus in this matter.

I honestly thought Mushishi was a small phenomenon when I came across this feature at Animenewsnetwork:
