It's about seeing stuff now and not having to wait a couple of years for it to come to the States (or whatever country the person is in).
For instance, if I stopped watching fansubs of Naruto and Bleach, I probably wouldn't see a new episode of either show for over a year, even if I bought each DVD as it came out.

Well considering how much prices on anime have went up in the last few years and the number of companies that went out of business recently I really can't give any support to fansubs/fanscans of any type. But that is neither here nor there and I don't want to derail the thread. So Shippuden starts on Cartoon Network in February. I'm pretty excited about that.

Well, Dattebayo has released their last episode of Naruto.
And Viz has subbed Naruto episodes streaming on Crunchyroll and Viz's site.
I've checked out the video, and it's alright. The video quality is nowhere near Dattebayo's, and that pisses me off, and the subs are very no-nonsense plain subs that are typically found on American DVDs. DB's font wasn't too special, but it looked better than the plain text of Viz's subs.
Not too surprisingly, it seems a group called HorribleSubs has decided to take DB's place and give high-quality Naruto to the fans. The difference is, however, that HorribleSubs is just taking the subs from Viz and adding them to the high-quality raws. Whatever works, I suppose.

I've decided to actually pay for my naruto, I don't care if people think I'm a fool. I went to narutofan.com to see what they thought about this and most people bitched and complained. I'm sorry, but I want to support the anime industry here. Unlike most people, I don't mind spending money on my anime, hell I go out and buy the series I have on my computer, why, so I can watch it in my bed with my portable dvd player, all snuggled in warmth with a furball as my pillow instead of sitting in my computer chair freezing my ass off because it's fucking cold in my room with the heat on! Though I haven't bought the Naruto dvds yet, I will start doing so next month, I need to check out where I can get the cheapest, I will buy them (Bestbuy is my best friend, so much anime, if I can't find it in the store I can find it online, must find second half of brain powerd, argento soma and the last freaking dvd of gasaraki, damn you last volume you are hard to find....plus the rest of eureka seven, why do they never have volume 7 in the store when you need it!) Speaking of Naruto, I'm going to go watch it, need to check up, gyah, too much anime and not enough time to watch bah!!!

That sucks. I have been getting all my Naruto eps from Dattebayo, including Bleach. It will probly take a while before I can find another site like that.Dattebayo is still going to sub Bleach. They're just not going to sub Naruto anymore, because it will be available subbed from an organization that legally holds the rights to Naruto. Of course, if in the future, Bleach is made available this way, Dattebayo will probably stop subbing it, too. If that happens, I guess they won't sub anything, lol.
This situation scares me. With Dattebayo, you had quality, in terms of translation and video. If the episodes from Viz are going to be streamed, the quality is probably going to be crap. I've never watched anything on Crunchyroll, but I imagine it's about the same quality as YouTube, maybe a little better. Even if the quality is great, the episodes probably won't be downloadable. If that is the case, and episodes are removed after a certain amount of time, I'm going to be really pissed, because I'd have to watch the new episodes as they come out. I often do that, but I do sometimes like to save up a couple of episodes and watch them in a row.
Mainly, I don't like change. The situation's been pretty sweet for a long time. Dattebayo subs a quality episode and releases it, I download it via torrent, and watch it when I please. Even if the situation with Viz and Naruto is basically the same as the current one, some things will still change, and I dislike that. But hopefully things won't be too different.
Anyways, discussing the actual series - why the fuck did they just start another filler arc?! There's plenty of material from the manga! They wouldn't catch up to the manga for over a year, even if they made no more fillers, so why?
Dattebayo actually isn't really big on quality. They're speedsubbers and while they avoid wild inaccuracies and engrish they do a lot of arbitrary interpretation of words/phrases even when it's not necessary. It's not Shakespeare so it doesn't matter but saying that a professional company would be a step down in quality is preposterous. Unless you're referring exclusively to video quality in which case I'd basically agree with you.

Spoiler:
With quality, I was referring mostly to video quality, which can make a big difference when watching anime. In terms of translation, I just like that DB's translations don't sound stiff or stupid. For example, in Viz's translation, I've noticed that in the subs, they refer to the group as "the Akatsuki." The article "the" isn't really necessary there, I believe. Still, that's a little thing that isn't very important.

You're going to pay Viz money to watch Naruto online, to support the anime industry? Despite the fact that the author of Naruto and the artists who create the anime won't get a single penny from Viz? Viz is paying the people who own the rights to the Naruto anime; all you are doing is giving Viz money to pay them back for the money they gave to the company that owns Naruto. Also, if you are going to buy the DVDs, then why pay to watch it online? Shouldn't it just be one or the other?

Viz is offering Naruto for free, a week after it is aired. Crunchyroll is the people I'm paying to have legal access to not only naruto but other series. Naruto Shippuuden I will able to watch subbed about an hour after it is aired in Japan. I'm supporting the industry by doing it legally. What I will be buying on DVD is episodes that have already aired.

Wow, I can't believe it finally happened. I stopped reading it ages ago because I wanted to watch it all animated, so I just recently got caught up on the anime. I can't wait for the series to get to that in the anime :D

I hate the fact that Dattebayo has stopped subbing Naruto. Stupid streamers! Well, apparently the fillers are over so now it is time for me to start watching again. Tobi cracks me up...to think this goofball is as strong as he is... :roll:

But I thought that they would halt everything if DB's subbed vids keeps being streamed.
