In case you haven't heard, Dattebayo is dropping Naruto Shippuuden on January 15th, 2009.
Overlord Inty wrote a really touching press release here:
http://dattebayo.com/pr/100 I posted to our DB community too. XD I am a meaningless member of DB (seriously, I am like Tobi, jumping around and pretending he is one of the cool kids in Akatsuki), but I felt the need to post around the validity of the statement. DB is responsible for me meeting some really awesome people, and I love everyone SO MUCH there. So yeah, even if I am an unnecessary member, I still love them all to bits.
Hving heard more details about the Crunchyroll and Viz release, I am pretty excited for what they are doing. I really, really want you all you support this amazing thing that they are doing. Hopefully, this will change the industry for the best. Imagine guys, getting to watch anime for free and legally. It's quite awesome. You'l get to experiance what I do every week, legitamitly watching anime. Of course, you will have subtitles. 8D
Wow, when I was a kid in high school, watching Sailor Moon on tenth gen tapes. . . if you would have told me that it would be easily available, and that someday, I would not have to starve myself at lunch to get decent quality anime, I would have just stared. (Sorry Mom, I was a bad kid). Seriously, you guys. SUPPORT THIS EFFORT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. You will be helping get poor, hungry translators off the streets and feed them so they can get paid for thier insane and godly amount of info in thier heads.
Okay. Any comments, questions or anything, let me know. If I can't answer them, I'll see about getting them answered.
