I was just wondering if anyone managed to buy the TRC DVD Vol 1 & 2 that have come out with the English subtitles? :wave: I was thinking of buying it from Discount Anime DVD but I want to know if the English subtitles are any good? I find the fan sub do it much better and sometimes the subtitles on the original DVD is just irritating. :sad5:

Just to let you know there is no official English subtitled DVD release of Tsubasa and the Japanese R2 DVDs do not contain English subtitles, so any subtitled DVD of Tsubasa you have bought is either ripped off the fansubs or is an illegal Hong Kong bootleg.

To add, the subs are probably HORRIBLE!
I used to buy HK subs, and everyone of them has horrible subs.
Example from my One Piece set.

I agree with this. :okay: My older sister bought the TRC first season episodes with subtitiles off of eBay and they su**! They call Kurogane Black Steel and Syaoran by his Japanese name XioLang. I prefer the dattebayo and live-evil subs off of the internet instead.

Wow, I didn't know that. I thought it would be an official DVD release because the site seem soo legitimate, Paypal and credit card accredited and all. Thank you for letting us know before I actually bought it! :wink: Do you suppose an official English subtitled DVD will come out? And if it does where do you buy it? I would like to support the makers of this Anime but it seem harder than I thought it would be. :)

So far there have been no plans or any inkling that I can tell that anyone is going to license Tsubasa. I do know that Loveless was just announced. I hope that they don't license Tsubasa for a while though. If they did...then it would become really hard to find fansubs. Especially seeing as how Live Evil AND Dattebayo both have trackers on a.scarywater.net (which doesn't like it when you have torrents of series that have been licensed).
But that's all I know off of the top of my head. If you want to keep up with what has been licensed...a good place to try would be The Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork).

I think it maybe best to be patient and wait if there are any plans to release an official copy of Tsubasa with English subtitles because bootlegs are very poor in terms of quality of picture and sound and also subtitles. It may take a very long time, but you may find its worth the wait. (thats if they do release it)

I don't know if there will be an offiical release for certain, but I think there's a very strong possibility it will. This is Clamp, after all, who are very popular among anime fans here in the U.S., especially with their characters, Sakura and Shaoran. It'd be stupid for them to not license Tsubasa. My guess is that they'll probably release the official DVDs when most of the series has been aired in Japan, since that seems to be the current trend among anime companies nowadays. I'm just hoping that they wait until after the series is finished being fansubbed to license it, so that we won't have to wait two or three years for the official DVDs to catch up where the fansubs left off. That would be so annoying if they did that. As to where you can buy them when they do come out, any online stores that sell anime like Amazon.com, CDUniverse.com or Rightstuf.com will definetlly be carrying them. All you can do is keep checking sites like Animenewsnetwork.com or these forums to see if the Tsubasa anime has been licensed yet.

As my bud Cardcaptor Takato said, keep checking those sites on any news about if and when an official DVD version will be released and by whom.
I had all of the TRC episodes burned from BT to DVD...great quality so now I can watch them on my big TV instead of my small cpu monitor. There's a number of sellers on eBay on these DVD-Rs of the series. If you want to take your chance there, remember to ask the seller lots of questions and hope you know what you're doing. I'd hate to see someone waste money on a poor quality burn of a BT with lousy sub-titles :)

Thank you for the help, everyone! :wave: I sure learned a whole lot. :D I guess we just have to wait for the original DVDs. :D

I seriously hope DVDs with subtitles will be available soon, because eventually, my humongus fansub collection will be discovered.... :sweatdrop:
I hope tsubasa will be liscensed soon, by just about anyone, because with liscensing comes merchaindise. Like T-shirts!!

If they do release I sincerely hope that they don't dub it. But then agian...I really don't like the dub of any series at all that much. *shrugs*
-
yeah, I hope so too. I just want them to add subtitles and then give it me. Ok, yeah, a cover and the DVD might be nice too.
-
It's going to be dubbed eventually.
Deal with it. Dubs aren't as bad as they used to be,
-
I don't mind if an anime is dubbed as long as they also make a subbed version available, that way everyone can meet their own preferences.
And occasionally something actaully will be dubbed well. It depends on the anime (Sailor Moon and CCS are like taking a shot trough the eye socket >.<, but Outlaw Star wasn't *that* bad and then when you get to anime's that aren't planned to be aired, the dubs can actually be pretty good... but, this is just the opinion of one girl who hasn't finished learning Japanese [fist quarter final on Thursday ::AAAGGHHH::] and so maybe doesn't know what she's talking about)
All I know is for some of my friends subtitles are a real turn off. They either can't read quickly enough or just prefer to be able to focus on the images rather than the words and so dubbing is a way we can all enjoy the same basic story line.
I'm more anxious for the next season to start than for DVDs to be released, myself.
