As usual, I went to my trustworthy Dattebayo website on a weekly basis to find out whether the latest episode of Naruto Shippuden is available...then I came across this bit of news...Dattebayo is to stop fan-subbing Naruto on 15th January 2009.
Mixed emotions really, angry, frustrated, sad, all rolled into one. Why would you do that to us? Wasn't Naruto what made your presence known in the internet fan-subbing community? Although Dattebayo also offers other fan-subs such as Bleach, come on, of all the ones you can drop, you drop something which the fans still want to watch?
Yes, I know the filler episodes can be a drag at times, but thats just the nature of translating an ongoing manga to anime. The Naruto Shippuden manga is currently at chapter 424, with the author on hiatus now so that he can work on upcoming chapters. I don't want to give any spoilers, but at the end of 424, Kakashi is meeting his fate with death.
Naruto Shippuden has a lot to offer still in the anime. Perhaps the staff at Dattebayo should take some time to find out what is going to happen in Naruto Shippuden and perhaps, like me, will like to find out how well the future chapters of the manga is to be translated to anime and also see how the movements, actions and story depicted in the manga is moved onto the small screen.
Please Dattebayo, please re-consider about dropping Naruto. Give the fans a chance to see, on the screen, of whats to come on Naruto Shippuden, with your skills of sub-titling and timing, its these qualities of yours which adds to the quality of the anime too making it worthwhile for me and others to visit your site on a regular basis to find out what news in the world of Naruto and also what new projects you have coming up for your team.
