I dont care about the licensing stuff, ever since 
cons quit showing new unreleased anime, I've been 
bored to a dark death at most cons I've attended 
in the last year.  I remember back in the mid 
90's when you could see anything at cons.  I saw 
FY in 96 fansubed, and I too went right to the 
dealers room and bought a ton of stuff that I 
wouldnt have bought had I not seen the show right 
then and there.  Oh, not to mention the people 
who did the subbing knew what they were doing, 
and didnt butcher the show.  I loved all the 
bumbles they made in the commercial release 
XD~~~  Bottom line is, it really sucks now that 
cons dont show stuff that hasnt been released.  I 
mean really, who wants to spend 600$ to get to a 
big con and go to the viewing room to watch 
Cowboy Bebop...again...?  (CB is great, just 
using it as an example)  And dont get me started 
on AMG...hello...that's all they show now at the 
cons down this way...>.<;;  

Its a good thing we have a way around the new con 
rules about fansubs...we have UT's anime club to 
fall back on, they still get a TON of fansubs in 
to check out and rent.  I've gotten to see some 
really nifty new anime that I hope get's released 
here soon ^_~
