Finally, finally, the Rocket Girls DVDSubber scripts are ready. You can get them here. Of course if you haven't bought the R2s you could wait a few weeks and get the complete collection from Bandai. Also, Funimation is on the verge of restarting R1 Saiunkoku releases, so if you were left in the lurch by Geneon's demise, they're hooking you up.

Funimation has acquired the rights to Karin and Saiunkoku (Along with many other series) from the smouldering ruins of Geneon, so if you were worried about the R1 releases of those series not finishing, you can relax.

Bandai (the good one) has licensed Rocket Girls, announced at Anime Boston. If you already bought the R2s and are still waiting for our ZDS scripts, we do still plan to release them. If you haven't, then please support the localized release.

According to a post on AnimeOnDVD, Geneon has sent out a mailer with release information for Saiunkoku DVD 1 (with optional box). As a result we will no longer distribute season 1 or season 2.
This does create an unanticipated situation with respect to the DVDSubber scripts, since the total price of the R1s is expected to be more than the price of the remaining R2s, but the first R1 will be released before the last R2, and the release of the first R1 is our timeframe for stopping distribution of the DVDSubber scripts. If you have been picking up the R2 DVDs, don't worry, we will get you the scripts so you don't have to change horses in mid-stream and end up spending more than you were planning to. For everyone else, Geneon's disc 1 comes out at the end of July, and it looks like it's going to be a 9 disc release. Please support them so they know what kind of anime to finance in the future.

According to a thread on AnimeOnDVD.com - Geneon Entertainment USA has registered the domain saiunkokudvd.com. (You can perform a WHOIS lookup for saiunkokudvd.com.)

While domain acquisition for a series by an North American licensing company may reflect that the company has licensed said series, there exists cases where one company acquires the domain for a series, only for that company to not license that series in R1. Examples:

• Funimation has acquired the domain princeoftennis.com a while ago, yet it was Viz who ultimately licensed Prince of Tennis.
• In 2004, Funimation picked up the gantz.tv domain. Gantz has now been released in its entirety in R1, by ADV.

In other words, Geneon's acquisition of saiunkokudvd.com should not be treated as a formal announcement that Saiunkoku has been licensed, so We Suck will continue work on Saiunkoku until any formal announcement of an R1 license from any North American licensing company.

However, as an advance notice: if there is any formal announcement of an R1 license from Saiunkoku from any North American licensing company, We Suck will remove all existing episodes of Saiunkoku from distribution, and will not release any outstanding episodes. If that happens, please do support the company who has licensed the series and buy the R1 DVDs!

Thank you for your on-going support of We Suck Fansubs.

Apparently Karin is now licensed by Geneon. If you already bought the R2s, don't worry--you're still getting a DVDSubber script pack for disc 12. (Let's say, when I get back from Portugal.) For everybody else, it looks like you only have to wait until May.

Apparently Uninhabited Planet Survive is now airing on Animax Latin America, so if you're in that part of the world and haven't seen it yet, check it out.

Loveless is licensed by Media Blasters. Disc 1 comes out on Valentine's Day (February 14th for the unromantic). If you bought disc 4, you WILL still get ZDS scripts--you may wish you'd waited for the cheaper discs, but at least you won't be screwed out of the discs you already paid for. (Unless Media Blasters asks me not to distribute scripts any more, which is their right, and I'll take the scripts down if they ask.) There won't be scripts for discs 5 or 6, though, so if you've preordered those, I strongly suggest you cancel that order NOW.
The torrents are now down, of course. This repesents the first time since the group started that we haven't had at least one active torrent. Unless one of the fall shows improves to the point that I'm interested in subbing it (and there's only one on that candidate list), we probably won't be subbing anything until the Winter season starts in january (and even then it will depend on one of those shows appealing to me).
Oh, and I'm sure we're all hoping that MB's investment in the show contributes to a second season being made. That said, if there is a second season at this point, there wouldbe no doubt in my mind that MB has the rights to it and will exercise those rights--in other words, I'm considering it prelicensed. I hope nobody complains to me about this if/when it happens.

It looks like Tokyopop has licensed the Loveless manga, according to the con report on AnimeonDVD.com. It doesn't seem to be coming out until early next year though.

Joyously, Popotan has been licensed by Geneon USA. We wish them all the best in bringing the title to a wider audience than we could have hoped to reach. We've removed our YesAsia links to the DVDs and CDs associated with the show(while it's not clear that they would have the soundtrack as well, it has been their habit lately to get both the show and the soundtracks), but we've left our link to our DVDSubber script package. Obviously, if you haven't bought the R2s yet, we strongly suggest you wait for the R1 versions, but if you have bought the R2s and have yet to download the scripts, they are still available. Naturally, a polite request from Geneon will be sufficient for us to remove them, so if this describes you, you may want to hurry up.
