Shining Fansubs Series Drops
On behalf of Shining Fansubs, I am here to announce that we have decided to drop many of our competitive series. The reason? Many of our staff do not want to have the obligation to do a series regulary, as we have our own social lives, education, and families to attend to. When fansubbing becomes our top priority over all else, something is wrong with the picture. Also, people have been labelling us as 'speedsubbers', a title I particularly dislike because I hate speedsubbers myself. Therefore, we are going to be doing rare series now. That way, we can release episodes as we wish, without it being an obligation. Fansubbing can once again be a hobby. So here are the series we dropped:
1. Mai-HiME 2. Gundam Seed Destiny 3. Windy Tales 4. Sunabouzu And we have picked up some new series/OVAs that we'll be releasing soon. Stay tuned, and gomen to all those who we have troubled with this news. - Clem Last edited by clem-kun; 2004-10-09 at 19:40. |

Troubled? I can only say thank God there are people interested in opening up the lenght and breath of Japanese animation instead of concentrating on what appears 'cool'. There is a veritable backlog of titles that streach decades with no hope of licencing, working on those will be much appreciated

I for one am glad to hear that you will concentrating on rare stuff, as new shows have enough groups subbing them anyway.
You should do what you want to do. I do hope you will release some more double-subbed stuff at some point, because it is a big help to me and other learners. Besides, stuff that's hard to find is the only stuff worth watching! |

Always question the status quo -- we need practicality and common sense, not fluff. |

And just hold tight, our new releases are coming soon. We are trying to make it as good as possible to prevent being called speedsubbers and being flamed to death in our IRC channel again. - Clem |

It's trully sad if you retime the karaoke every episode when its just the same clip of music and song being played every episode and you could just resync the start time and everything would be jolly and dandy. Enjoy Sakaki- |

Good news (to some).
We might be repicking up Windy Tales because of several reasons. 1. It's one of my personal favorites this season. 2. The art is unique; the anime is unique. 3. We have had many (20+) requests for to repick it up. 4. We want to give fans a choice between two groups. However, our decision is not yet final. As I have stated earlier, we don't want to feel obligated to demanding fans. But if you have a thought, please share it. It may help us make our decision. |
