Maybe not 10, but 6 or maybe even 7 years at least, I remember live-evil from back in Mid-2002 when they first started to release Creamy Mami, and he had been around for at least one year prior I think.

See? I'm senile... I just can't... Remember... Anything.

To this day I wonder what prompted that shocking revelation.
I really appreciate that L-E does older shows. Younger anime fans need to realize that these older shows are what the creators of the new shows were inspired by, and that historical context is not a four letter word.

Oh, oh, I have a funny (true) story:

 I was at a hollywood party, and there were all these industry types there,
 and I was trying to monkeywrench their hip trendiness by talking tirelessly
 about Sailor Moon. Well, this one fellow went for the bait, and said that he
 had just been filming in Canada and had worked with an actress who had
 dubbed Sailor Moon. He couldn't remember her name, and I said "Oh, do
 you mean Terri Hawkes?"... And he was at first very enthusiastic over the
 fact that I knew her name, but then he noticed that everyone else was
 backing away from us, slowly...

Hi, welcome to the boards!

Yeah, Sindobook is right... I started really getting involved with digisubs in 2001 so it's only been 7 years, but I did do some late VHS starting in 1998 or so, so it is /possible/ though unlikely you saw some stuff I did back then :)

Yes, I am trying to push even more effort of converting some of the younger fans onto the older stuff. This year I am making a strong effort for titles such as KOR, Galaxy Express 999, and one yet to be released title...

That story about the Sailor Moon dubbing is hilarious! We've all had moments like that, I think lol

You may be curious to read the history of L-E I wrote up, if you haven't already: http://www.live-evil.org/history-of-live-evil

In regards to the speedsub and parody thing... They may have confused us a bit by the project we subtitled with DB, as they're the king of speedsubbing groups and do release quite a few parodies. We've also released parodies before (Naruto and Gakuen Heaven) but only on the 1st of April ;)

Hi Tofu!

I read the Live-Evil history, and an article by Sindobook, and some other historical bits-and-pieces related to Live-Evil and subbing. It's all very interesting!
I think the only VHS subs I ever saw were a couple of VKLL's Sailor Moon and one of David Jao's Escaflowne... I must have first seen Live-Evil digisubs around 2002... Seven rounds up to 10, right?

Since I mostly watch anime with my daughter, I wind up watching mostly shoujo (though she really likes Harlock and 999) so I tend to have a lot of those 'people backing slowly away' moments when I talk about a show that I'm watching. I rarely get past the name "Creamy Mami" and her penchant for defending yakuza before losing my audience ;^)

Hello.  I'm tenkenX6.  I've been a hardcore anime fan for quite awhile now.  I pretty much watch anything, new and old, as long as it interests me.  Anyways, I decided I would join this forum, since I was interested in helping the group out.  If that will actually happen or not depends on the "higher ups".  :D
