Well, it was bound to happen eventually

For those that don't know, Naruto is NOW licensed. No lie this time.

ETA: Here is a link to Narutofan's main page that has the news.

I don't really see these groups dropping it from subbing it, I mean come the fuck on! Inuyasha was still being subbed even after it was licensed. And if these groups DO happen to stop, well, I'll be flabbergasted. Which also doesn't make sense, if they can still be translating the recent manga chapters and VIZ had the license for that for how long now and no one has put their foot down?

But then everyone is freaking about new fans and the actual dub. *sigh* Not everyone will be pleased but then the world doesn't revolved around them...or me.

Thats what ya gotta love about fandoms, especially those reared up on the subs. I've been through this with Wolf's Rain (but only cause they were acting strict with the releases when news got out that it was picked up and we were so close to the end) & FMA. I'm ust glad that the other fandoms I'm in, the series is already done with so I don't have to hear the pissin and moanin.

This always makes me think of Gungrave. It was a series that didn't get much publicity even when it first aired in Japan AND Geneon already had bought the rights to it not long after it first aired in Japan. Yet the subbers kept up on getting the subs out cause they felt it was something that not only was a good series, but to get it out there to the masses which still didn't seem to work and I didn't see anyone complaining about what they were doing, not even from the higher ups in Geneon.

Instead of repeating what I wrote earlier, just check the comment I wrote back to babaca regarding my feelings about it all whenever the dvd comes out.
