AonE Fans Anime Blog by X

Developments To Take note of.

It"s been a long time coming as far as I am concerned as I was in the original crew that was subbing Naruto 4 years ago.


Please read what Conan-Kun head Editor of AnimeOne has posted out on Gotwoot:

"
Dear Alone fans,

After fansubbing Naruto for over 4 years, we regret to inform everyone that we will not be continuing with the series past season one (episode 220). This is for a variety of reasons but the main being that subbing the show is just no longer fun for a lot of the staff members. The show is also a tremendous use of resources for AonE which is hurting our other shows. Naruto Shippuden is not the only show that we are “dropping”, we will also not be continuing with the Gundam SEED Destiny Special Editions. We will however be subbing the Stargazer OVAs. We ARE still subbing Daa! Daa! Daa! so do not fear DDD fans.

By making these sacrifices, we can better concentrate on our current shows as well as possibly a new one that we are interested in. We will be doing everything possible to catch up on our backload and finish some old shows (BBB, SnS III, etc) before the next season begins.

These decisions have not come easy. There have been many heated discussions behind the scenes. We are facing an evolving fansubbing world, and unless we consolidate our resources we will be unable to keep up.

We are still recruiting for staff members, particularly Translators, QC, and TSers. Please see us on IRC in #aone-recruit (on irc.rizon.net) and private message an op.

Regardless of the show, AonE will continue to provide high quality fansubs for everyone to enjoy. Thank you for all your support!

So Naruto will not be done up after this season ends. It"s Sad to hear of this however I totally understand animeone's point of view. Not that many people really watch animeone's version but prefer to archive it instead. I think that"s a bloody waste of resources. With this I think AnimeOne will be able to release more Daa Daa Daa and other shows which are worth watching more.
