Not realy. I think japaneese companies are jsut now growing the balls to sue people. But why threaten animesuki? WHy not the ones doing the fansubbing. If they really want to take a step towards global anime distribution(which will never happen.) Since anime is a fancy way of saying japaneese animation. Which aime just really means cartoons i mean lets face it. Shit in Japan is never gonna come to the states. Yet Japan lterally lives off the USA influence. A big step?

I don't think it's a BAD thing that Media Factory did this. I think it's a step toward them recognizing the international market && the problem U.S. distributors have with fansubs. Frankly, I think they've made a big positive step for global anime production && distribution! So many folks get upset about Japanese companies NOT releasing simultaneous regions && languages without realizing that that takes MORE money && resources, and that there are U.S. companies already in place for producing legitimate English translations of this stuff. While they don't all do a great job of it, they do try to respond to the market, and they just need more effective feedback. How can anyone accuse Media Factory of ruining one of their own programs, when it was produced and distributed domestically by a DIFFERENT company?! Sometimes Americans can be SO nearsighted and out of touch! Ummmm….
