Looking for .hack//sign fan subs

[LordRaiden]

I just recently discovered this absolutely awesome Japanese Anime full of some very colorful charecters, lots of great intrigue and plenty of action and suspence. So far my friend has the first 6 english subtitled fan subs available free from the net. He doesn't remember where he got them from and I'm royally hooked by now. I'm on episode 6 and it's getting very intriguing and I'd like to find the remaining 20 episodes if possible. All fan subs please. No hacked or warezed copies. I want to enjoy the remaining episodes legally.

IF there are fan subs of the remaining 20 episodes out there somewhere, does anyone know where I can find these? I'd love to find out where I can download these from. They're produced by Bandi, I've figured that much out, but searches of the net reveal little info so far. Although I've found some cool wallpapers.

Also, for those who do find it and haven't seen it, trust me. The series is awesome. But either way, any help finding the remaining 20 episodes in fan sub would be greatly apreciated. (If they're not out in fansub yet, I'm gonna die waiting!!)

Since the anime is licensed, I don't think it's possible for you to get it legaly through other means but purchasing the dvds as they come out.

.hack/sign was licensed summer of last year, I think. Don't remember which company has it (probably Bandai), but yea, the only legal copies of it now are the US DVD releases. If you're lucky you'll find them on IRC - DALnet used to have a couple anime channels but I don't know what happened to them since I haven't been on in a while. You might try Aniverse, I suppose.

BTW, fansubs are technically illegal, according to the Berne Convention. It's just that the Japanese companies opt not to prosecute the groups. It's the US-based companies that are affected the most by fansubs, you'll notice that all groups have a 'Not for sale or rent', 'Please support the companies and buy the US releases when they come out', or 'For fans by fans'.

I have all the episodes but I just can't watch them. I've seen like 7 episodes and I've been bored as hell.

Just try using kazaa. I got a few episodes off there.

dang, I go on there sometimes, but don't see it.. do you just search for hack in hte thread name? what are the files called?...

 

[Dragnov]

Aren't fansubs basically illegal copies of anime that people pretend to be legal? Kinda like mp3s?

I may be wrong here. Not trying to flame. Someone correct me if my knowledge is wrong...

 

[Hoeboy]

dot hack? is this the same as the game for the PS2? i heard it was pretty awesome, albeit short game.

 

[LordRaiden]

Supposidly authentic fan subs are distributed by the company of origin for the benefit of their fans. Heck, even Cartoon Network was doing this for a while with some of their anime series.

 

[Spikey217]

Find out which group distributes and go to their IRC chan. Simple.

You are correct. Anime that is licensed that is fansubbed is illegal. Much like the whole deal with MP3s.

 

[LordRaiden]

Ok, if they're illegal then I won't bother finding them. I'll just go buy the DVD set then.

.hack is great!

I have only seen two episodes so far but they were so fast pased! (Is that how you spell it?)

Anyway, I hope the rest of them are just as good. I just finished Hannibe Reimmi (spelling again) and this is my next one to watch.

I have Lain on the back burner but that one is just so depressing..
