If I know you hold back like that, why should I follow your releases in the future if one of your competitors (even with a lower quality) does the series as well? If you do not have competitors, shouldn't I wait until you have released all episodes to negate such artificial delays and thus create an even more abnormal and unsymmetrical situation?
Let me give you a little history about our group.
1- We are quite possibly the oldest truly active digital fansub group on the internet. We turn 7 in a couple weeks.
2- We have never once stated that we would subtitle shows weekly or monthly. In fact, I've been known to throw out the statement "If you're going to follow a Live-eviL show, be in it for the long haul."
3- There are extenuating circumstances that you obviously are unaware of regarding Shion and the staff that work on it.
We spent 3 years subbing Condor Hero and 3 years subbing Rose of Versailles. It took us 5 years to subtitle Creamy Mami. We've been subtitling Ask Dr. Rin for 5.5 years and have only released 11 episodes so far ^^;
So to answer your questions, by all means, go watch some other group's fansubs. And in the case there are no other fansubs out there (which happens to many of our shows because we do tend to sub shows off the beaten path), if long waits between episodes bothers you, wait until we finish the show to pick it up. There's plenty of anime to check out.
In the meantime, may I recommend watching some of the shows we've completed in their entirety? If you haven't seen Rose of Versailles or Creamy Mami, I'd highly recommend both. They should keep you busy for a while.
Cheers!
