Viz's subtitles of Final Act move to Mondays

Filed under: Chapters — Starks at 6:22 pm on Friday, December 11, 2009

This is going to sting for a lot of people.

Viz announced today that from episode 11 onward, their subtitled stream of Inuyasha Final Act will not be put up until Monday.

I'm not sure how the fansubbers will react to this, but in many respects, it's very similar territory to that of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood which also has an official sub that comes out a few days after airing in Japan.

Press release at the Viz homepage.

Edit: You can watch the episode live on KeyHoleTV today (12/12) at 2:30 PM EST on the Nippon TV channel (日本テレビ) or download a RAW or speedsub on Tokyo Tosho later today. If you watch on KeyHole, the video and audio will frequently fall out of sync. If this happens, simply "Stop VIDEO" and re-enter the Nippon TV channel.

I guess it's better than having to wait a whole week for it (that pretty much what Viz does with Naruto).

I really wonder what prompted this.

A heavy workload? Technical difficulties? The early broadcast a few weeks ago?

And thus why fansubs will always be better, although the speedy ones for Kanketsuhen aren't even that great.

Man, that blows!  But, I guess it won't be too bad.  I mean, it will make Mondays a little better!

This really sucks!!! Keyhole has not been working for me for the past couple of weeks so I've been relying on Viz. How could they let me down like this?? Is there anyway to get raw footage on Saturday??

At least Mondays won't suck so bad now. Maybe they caught Viz's slip from earlier…but they probably did this in light of the holidays.

Huh. Kind of odd to do this now.  Oh well! I can live with Mondays.

D:

It's probably because of the early posting, I'm guessing.

But this is so lame. D:
Now I'll be left wondering for days after watching on KeyHole. D:

@ Leah, CuriousOne, STARKS, LEVIA,  and  FSC_RYOGA

Is this new scheduling because of VIZ last week, putting that Episode 10 on the Hulu site, eariler than the actual airing of the show? Im not really sure what to think? Any ideas anybody………

I doubt it had anything to do with that. It wasn't that big of a deal. I can't even confirm that it was actually up before the episode ended. All I know is that within 10 minutes of airing, it was already up on the Hulu servers and Shonen Sunday.

Bummer. Doesn't Viz realize that people will turn to other sources if they delay putting their sub up? I wonder if this was Viz's decision or if it was out of their control.
