Looks like GG is no longer subbing Geass :( Shame, I thought they were the best out of the subbing groups...

EDIT: Although this is on the GG main page, people are saying this could be some kind of joke? Apparently anonymous made a fake Photoshop of their news page, and posted it on 4chan. I guess someone from GG thought it funny enough to make into an actual news post.

The fact that it's on Adult Swim now and open to a, *ahem*, certain demographic of people now is the reason I only stick around here and nowhere else for my Geass discussions. Well, here's to hoping it won't, although sadly it somewhat is, become the next Death Note. I was relieved when I only saw about 5 Code Geass cosplayers last month at Metrocon, to be honest; I mean, it's a semi-fangirl bait series to begin with, but since I haven't seen any merchandise of it anywhere it might slip under the rabid fangirl radar that's eaten all the popular series and spit them out like trash. Funny, reminds me of Eureka Seven if this continues: Supposedly big in Japan, and around 50 episodes long, but it never really caught on here... Well, here's to hoping.

And as for the 'dropping', I really prefer gg over Eclipse (...What's Eclipse's site? I've never found it, which I guess contributes to my liking gg over them.) because their subs just sound like someone actually talks; whereas the latter's can sound really wonky and unnatural at times.
But knowing them, it's probably a joke.

First of all, Eclipse's site is:
http://eclipse.no-sekai.de/

I don't really have a preference. More often than not, I end up using both a week. [gg] is faster by a few hours, and they release .ass files, so it works with a RAW. [Eclipse] releases .avi's and makes it easier for me to watch later. They're both good (well, decent), and /a/'s retarded fascination with the nonexistent subber rivalry (GG and Eclipse BFFs!) is pointlessly stupid.

Koda is cool, though, which is a plus for [gg]. The fact that she actually gets out into various discussion venues and has fun with the rest of the fanbase is not only good publicity for [gg] but just more fun for the rest of us.

To be honest, I haven't really noticed a change in the fandom once it hit AS. I did notice a change once R2 started airing, though. Maybe it's because despite it being fangirl/fanboy yaoi/hentai/harem fodder, there actually is a lot of stuff to mull over and consider. And maybe the people that stuck with the fandom in the interim were more interested in the nuances of this show (I feel silly writing that, BUT THEY DO EXIST!) than others who watch it and don't think about it--some of whom can't rub two brain cells together or are capable of even an inkling of critical thought.

Anyways, GOOD. Less exposure is probably a good thing.
