Dattebayo interactii says, I just wanted to post a PR with a couple housekeeping notes as we continue our shutdown of Naruto subtitling. First, thank you to everyone who sent us Christmas cards and letters: thank you, thank you, thank you. They were totally awesome. I read every one, and the other staff are working though them. We received about 400 cards from all over the planet, from 30 miles away to South Korea to South Africa. And people sent some awesome works of art, thank you so much for those, too. We’ll continue to have this PO box for a while, so if you feel compelled to write us again, please don’t hesitate to.Read more.

Interactii says, welcome my friends, my enemies, and those whom I do not yet know. Let’s sit and talk for a while, you and me. We haven’t talked in some time. Let’s explore the past a little, and chat about the present and future. Naruto has been around for a very long time now. When I started downloading fansubs in early 2003, Naruto was already past its 20th episode. I used to watch TW’s releases. At that time, TW’s releases got about 8,000 downloads per episode in a week, and TW released 5 weeks after airing in Japan. By May 2004, with TW languishing, AONE had primarily taken over Naruto. Naruto’s popularity had soared. AONE was releasing a week after airing in Japan, a schedule they would keep for a long time. They were averaging 60,000 downloads per episode after a week by episode 85. When Anime-Heaven (the precursor to Dattebayo) started 6 weeks later, it got 60,000 downloads on its first release, a low-quality speed sub. At that time, because AONE was releasing a week after airing, there was room for other people to try to do it faster. Read more.
