We sat down with "Tofusensei", a man with a decade of continuing experience in the fansub world, to talk to us about the nature of the fansub community and what's happening in both the fansub scene and the industry right now.
My-Otome DVD 4
These four episodes may not have as much action as earlier ones, but more than make up for it with their wealth of plot and character developments. Artistic flaws persist, but it is still the best volume yet in a steadily improving series.

Dark Wars: The Tale of Meiji Dracula
Count Dracula journeys to Meiji-era Japan on a curious mission in this new vampire tale from the creator of Vampire Hunter D. Though it hardly represents stellar writing, it may hold interest as a supernatural period piece.

Tsubasa, RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE GN 16
When it comes to clarity and making sense, this volume is kind of a mess, but what a dramatic and beautiful mess it is.

School Rumble DVD 4
Laughs of every stripe still abound as the series turns its hand to slightly more serious material. Any missteps it makes along the way are easily forgiven blemishes in a comedy that, while silly, is neither stupid nor shallow.

Ramen Fighter Miki Sub.DVD 3
For those afraid that the series will effectively remove the "fun" from "dumb fun" by trying to wring pathos from its paper-thin premise, it will be a relief to know that this volume is brimming with enough lowbrow fun to make a Stooge smile.

Hell Girl GN 1
Where the animated version was a spooky, if repetitive, trip into hearts of darkness, compressed timeframes and a remarkably inappropriate artistic approach transform this paper version into a toothless mess.

Be With You GN
Released concurrently with its paperback novel version, this manga adaptation tells a heartfelt love story shaped by mystery and wonder, albeit one dependent on a questionable gimmick and mediocre artistry.

Flag DVD 2
Superb attention to military technical detail and its highly unusual documentary style highlight a strong second volume notable for getting politically edgy. It will either utterly fascinate you or utterly not work for you.

Love Master A GN 1
So to all the high school girls out there: give the Student Council a try if you want to pick up some hot guys. But don't give Love Master A a try if you want to pick up some fun, fresh manga, because this one is pretty stale.

Ragnarok The Animation DVD 2
Although not entirely without entertainment value, these episodes offer little respite to those thoroughly disappointed with the first volume. It is a textbook case of how not to adapt an MMORPG into anime format.
