I'm a busy guy, and I'm leaving a comment before I'm actually watching your videos. If you are confident in the fruits of your labor here, you should certainly give some serious thought to uploading these video documentaries to veoh.com. I'm sure you will gain much more exposure and of course, receive much more feedback. That is, if you already haven't posted it to veoh.

I prefer softsubs like KAA does, anyway. That’s one of the reasons I want to learn Japanese…so I don’t have to rely on subtitles. I prefer softsubs like KAA does, anyway.

"I’m sure releases would churn out faster without the special effects… though it seems that the new age anime fans love them and demand to see the OP/ED’s done that way. Win/Lose situation :\" Oh, I am sure people will survive without karaoke op/ed :P Some shows take a long time to subtitle because they are not very popular (Kaiba), but others get subs, by multiple groups even, as soon as possible (Kanokon). Thank you for your comments :)

I saw this on RandomCuriosity's blog last week. I was gonna mention the topic but seems like I'm late for everything :< Anyways, I agree with you and the writer on the other site since Otaking seems to contradict himself on several points. I think the main issue is that, as the documentary maker said, some fansub groups are using their works as ways to inflate their own ego and swing their e-wang around. Overall, I think the groups should hold foremost, the origin of fansubs. "They are made by fans for the fans."
