Title: About Fansubs....
Post by: Mitzrael on November 15, 2005, 11:30:46 PM
I didn't know exactly where to post this, but since it's a fl subject and category inquiring  I though it correspond to be here, anyway feel free to move it if it doesn't ^^;;

So you are wondering what I'm talking about, well there is a certain curious and interesting thing, I was wondering if Anime Fansubs (anime subbed by fans, no comercial use and stuff) could be a fl subject, same thing with manga unofficial traslations made by fans? And if they are considered like "can be" in wich category will they fall? under Fanstuff/General or General category?

Personaly I think most, what we call "official" dubbed anime really, well..., are not great and most of time change everything on a series, included songs, character names etc...the neverending list, and fansub are not perfect of course but at least they contribute on the fandom spread.

So what do you think about it? *confused*

EDIT: oh! it's okay Danielle, I was just wondering about  ^^;; thanks

Subs, fansubs, dubs, fandubs... it's all anime, which is covered by the Anime fanlisting. All of these are what we consider to be "versions of", same as the Characters rule. This has always been our standard and I don't anticipate that changing anytime soon.

Sorry to disappoint! :\
