Yawara

[Zappster]

I'd just like to thank everyone that was involved in subbing the show. I really enjoyed the episodes that I saw and would probably have never checked the show out had it not been for the availability of these fansubs.

For god's sake, project dropped topic locked!

hmm, considering this was the only project he was working on...I actually feel kinda bad for Mamo.

>< >< ><

But Still!

I can't believe people are whining about Yawara being licensed.

We are finally geting it on dvd!

Only Animeigo were daring enough to consider doing this very long series.

In Japan the boxset is extremely rare and always fetches over $1000 boxset.

Animeigo deserve our support and they've got mine, i hope they have everyone elses here too.

[Tsubasa]

It's not that we don't support licensors.  In fact, people think Yawara is indeed in good hands now.   But when you've worked your ass off (while having fun of-course ) for getting 57 episodes of a series out and is just about to release the 58th....especially a series with highly dedicated staff....like tly, Mamo, sylf, koolbear...it is rather painful, for the fansubbers, and those leechies who had prepared to collect the entire series fansubbed by us, to accept an unexpected license.

Ok, now that I'm over the inital shock, I'm glad that that Yawara has been licensed by AnimEigo of all people.  They'll treat the show well and give us boxsets worth having.

[Tsubasa]

I guess the best way to think of it now would be 'let's see some decent dubbing now'!

I've been waiting for this day
I did email AnimEigo to license Yawara quite some time ago... finally came through!!!

Yawara boxset! Here I come :O

[Blue Mage]

He's either taking this incredibly well or...

He's completely lost what little was left of his mind!

[kiches]

OMG, this is so exciting, I thought this would NEVER happen in my lifetime. I come back from vacation and take a visit to rightstuf's site and there's the announcement! I'm so glad it's being picked up by Animeigo out of all the company's, I really liked their work on older series like bubblegum crisis.

I only wonder how long it'll take to release all that Yawara!

BTW, any news on whether this license includes the special?

[gumbaloom]

At the minute no

 :'(shame
in some ways i would have liked Live-Evil to finish what you started,doing an excellent job.
still all good things come to an end.
lets hope the dvds are of a suffecient high quality to be worth buying and that the dub(i assume it will be dubbed?)is of an equally high quality
so to finish
Thank You For Your Hard Work L-E

[Tsubasa]

Mmm no. Actually it's not gonna be dubbed. It's a sub-only and they're prolly gonna use our scripts.

-Tsubasa

[Zentron]

Well, at least they're an good Anime publisher... so it might only be 2 years before we get Yawara available in the UK!!

[Tsubasa]

Yeah get stuff licensed, and end up making ppl wait. >_> Even teh licensor, Mamo, expressed his frustration at having to wait the other day.

For those that don't know, Animeigo gave free dvd preview of Yawara episode 1-4 at ComiCon, but you can get it from their website if you pay $5 for shipping. I got it today, and man does it have a lot of notes. Their asking for feedback on the disc, so I hope people do give them feedback and they make an awesome box set (hopefully before Christmas like the said).
