A: I think it is unethical to fansub a feature which is certain to be released in North America. Period. X and Shin-KOR should be ignored by ethical fansubbers. Instead, dig deep and find that 1985 copy of Orpheus to fansub -- it will never be released. Fansub Magical Emi. Fansub theoriginal "Miracle Girls", a fansub which was terrible the first time done. In general, fansub the LONG SERIES which American companies just are too scared to market, and won't ever be seen. Fansub the OLD ONES which for some reason have been passed over by everyone already. Fansub the CULTURE-SPECIFIC ones which only a Japanophile would truly appreciate, because they won't be released. Fansub the TAINTED ones, whose slight nudity or risque story elements make it impossible to show to American Christian children, but which aren't considered pornographic enough to be at all interesting to adults either. Fansub the ULTRA-SHOUJO ones which simply aren't believed to have any audience in North America. I really believe that it's time fansubbers looked at themselves and what they're doing. There IS an anime market in the US now. Its growing, and partly due to college-age fandom created by tireless fansubber efforts. We all know what types of anime will certainly go commercial. Let's fansub the ones we are SURE will not -- and if we make a mistake once in a while, no big deal. If we do that, the commercial companies will have little problem with us. There is SO MUCH ANIME to work on that has little chance in the US at all. The amount of anime is just staggering. There's more than enough to keep every fansubber busier than heck.](http://www.technogirls.org/barbara/anime/editor.htm)
