Today has been a horrible day for the anime/fansub community. Many talented creators, not just those whose names are known have no doubt been lost. I think that no matter what this looks like when it’s said and done, KyoAni will recover.
That being said, there are things you can do to help. Some have linked to a gofundme page started by Sentai Filmworks. While I trust that they won’t do anything unethical, a more direct route is wise.
This group has been growing a lot lately, and with that has come a lot of opportunity for more projects (many of which are on their way). But running all of the tasks needed to run a fansub group (hosting, encoding, etc) on our own personal computers gets to be extremely cumbersome and unrealistic. Knowing that we needed a way to solve this, we looked at other groups, this lead us to the idea of setting up a way for you guys to help.
We have finally migrated to Wordpress after a long time of being stuck with Blogger! This means that it will be much easier for us to manage the site, and a drop in headaches due to Blogger’s strange quirks. Please let us know what you think, and ways we can improve!
The old site will remain alive under harunatsu-fansubs.blogspot.com for at least a little while. It was crappy and tolerable while it lasted, o’ site of our past.
