How about this: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=1119
I have the 1:1 ISOs of the japanese boxset, so raws would not be a problem.

I'm from UK and I'm downloading now as well. Region-lock is not affecting me at all.

Right, time to set some things straight. Firstly, everyone here should know that funimation now has the complete series 1-42 of Captain Harlock for free viewing with no region-lock. Crunchyroll still only has the first 40 episodes and is region-locked. In the coming weeks they (funimation) will be putting up GE999 as well. I have it on good authority it will be complete, english subbed, free to view, no region-lock. I think Live-Evil should change the message on their site to direct people to funimation, not crunchyroll. Thank you.

I just checked it out. They have complete fist Of The North Star at present and are promising to release a complete series each week. Best news of all, I was able to watch without a region-lock and the videos can be downloaded as good quality .FLV's with eng subs. Can't wait for GE999.

A quick question. Are the previous five episodes that are currently available to DL via you bittorrent page the new dvd versions or the old versions? I need to re-DL them due to my HDD having a massive failure to exist.

Hooray for the Harlock goodness. Now let's all pray Toei/Crunchyroll don't license it. Fingers firmly crossed here along with most everything else :o

With respect, if kaleyboy or anyone else wants to watch Galaxy Express 999, they have every right to watch the series of their choice and not watch an alternative instead.

Also on that note, to kaleyboy and everyone else thinking about pestering Live-Evil to try and make them change their mind - give up. I certainly know I'm giving up. I won't of course, let their edict in the face of Crunchyroll's "licensing" of the series stop me from trying to obtain Galaxy Express 999 episodes with English subs. But neither Live-Evil, Crunchyroll or indeed Toei themselves are either willing or able to do anything about letting people access the series in those few countries outside of the U.S. and Canada.

The only alternative that should be heartily recommended would be to obtain some way of masking one's IP address and circumventing either Crunchyroll's or Direct2Drive's website that way, signing up again through such a method, and simply grab the episodes yourself. It's clear that Toei simply doesn't care, and neither does anyone else. I know it's not fair that we have to jump through so many hoops to actually watch Galaxy Express, but there really is no other way, nor will there be in the future unless Crunchyroll pushes Toei to give them a worldwide license for the series, which is extremely unlikely since they've got so many of the big Japanese companies eating out of their hands due to their new region-locks, etc.

Therefore, I'd suggest that discussion here goes from simply complaining about the lack of Galaxy Express torrents to simply listing which borderline-illegal ways us Europeans can get remote access to Crunchyroll's or Direct2Drive's websites. I myself am looking at using Hide My IP, which is a pay program. However, let's face it, in the face of Toei's obstinacy, no price is too small to pay to get Galaxy Express! :)

If anyone has any other working methods, please let us know!
I guess I have to agree with you and hope that Toei sees the light and shows europe some love. Hope Harlock SSX continues here. . .

why would Toei spend who knows how much money to have these episodes translated just "to kill the fansub" when a simple cease and desist would do the trick?
We all know a c&d without a viable alternative to the fansub would in 9 out of 10 cases go unheeded. Indeed, Rumbel have continued to sub Gintama after it being licensed for streaming via crunchyroll and phantom subs plan to continue subbing Hitman Reborn after getting a c&d to stop. In fact, since they recieved their c&d, about 3 other subbers have continued the show in defiance of the c&d's.

it's L-Es policy to drop projects once they get licensed and I respect that.
But it's hypocritical: they drop it after it's licensed in the US but not europe, yet they happily subbed it whilst it was licensed in Japan. The USA is not the whole world, only an increasingly marginalised part thereof.

Whoa, wait right there!
Are you suggesting the people here at L-E should have done something that could get them shut down just because Toei are a bunch of arseholes?

The Live-eviL stuff explained exactly WHY they canned GE999 and Harlock - because they got licensed. Period.

None of us are happy with how this turned out, but don't blame L-E!
Well why didn't heart of madness get shut down? They didn't stop subbing Hokuto No Ken aka Fist Of The North Star after Toei licensed it in the US and they are still going and have completed all 152 episodes. They are an example of what a fansub group should be like, they stuck with their project until the very end.

Anyways, I'm not saying you should start fansubbing or anything, but seriously, you have plenty of options.
Just what would these options be? Write emails to toei & crunchyroll? Done that. Post comments on their forums? Done that. Watch illegally via a proxy? No good as you can only watch the timed free-to-view episodes which take an age to become available. I want to be able to pay to watch when I want. Not everybody has the means to go to america to watch, and if you were seriously suggesting that as a legitimate solution, then I think a reality check is needed.  Bottom line IMHO, Toei did this to kill the fansub, they don't give a crap about genuine fans and live-evil folded on the fansub far too easily. They should've continued the fansub untill episodes were made available for everyone and yet I've never heard anyone from live-evil explain why this didn't happen.

Crunchyroll has stalled at episode 62. Still region locked. If they didn't sub any more past ep 62, would live-evil consider picking the series up again? And your info at the top of each page saying crunchyroll are subbing it for free is wrong. It should say crunchyroll hates europe and is subbing only for the USA & Canada.
