Hey all,

I was hearing some disturbing rumors from Anime Boston today that season 2 has BEEN LICENSED. Now I don't know if this is official or not, but according to some dialogue at the industry panel today:
[20:31:06] do you have R2?

[20:31:11] yes, we will be handling R2 as well

I talked to a guy who was at the panel who heard this information directly.

Well folks, I hope this does not seriously impact us getting timely fansubs.
Discuss!

I think that a large community of fans who only want fansubs will not buy DVDs even if fansubs cease to exist. They'll most probably just drop anime. Because their point of view based either on lack of money, either on indifference to anime itself.

I too hope that industry will adapt. ))
