Nope.
Shinen-subs wrote:Once again, Shinsen-Subs is in the spotlight of anime companies. Earlier today we have received an e-mail in form of Cease and Desist letter from FUNimation legal department regarding violation of Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
GDH K.K. has authorized FUNimation Entertainment to take any such enforcement actions on behalf of GDH K.K. for the purpose of stopping copyright infringement.
GDH K.K. owns and controls various exclusive copyrights and trademarks related to the animated motion pictures known as Romeo x Juliet ®. Among the exclusive rights of GDH K.K. are the rights for production and distribution of home videos, DVDs, and other home video formats and devices.
FUNimation Entertainment therefore demands that we expeditiously disable all access to said infringing materials.
n the letter that we have received, it is explicitly said that GDH K.K. has authorized FUNimation Entertainment to enforce their rights, therefore do not read this as an implicit announcement of FUNimation Entertainment's licensing of the said property. This is merely one company acting as a legal representative of another.
To my knowledge this is the first occurence of Japanese company actually sending a C&D during an ongoing anime - MFI issued a C&D for DVD episodes that were fansubbed before the actual release in Japan - so we might see more of this in the future. Let's hope that means more high quality anime from Japan and more high quality translations from your local licensees.

Damn Gonzo!!I also checked the full announcement on shinshen subs site...
So that leaves only Umai to do the job?
Although I assume they would have received the same message.

(Sorry for the double post, can't edit previous. :\ )

So I got the last 3 raw just to watch and see what happens, despite my only knowing enough Japanese to get like, one word in 20 or so. Very good, I loved how they ended it, but I need some clarification from someone who actually understood the dialogue on that very last scene.

Major spoiler.
[spoiler]Was that really them? Did they not die? Or was it like, Shakespeare imagining them? Not being able to understand what he was saying, I couldn't be sure. I'm pretty sure he was just imagining, but...

And hooray for Tybalt living! YYAAAYYYYY! And Fransisco and Curio, for that matter.[/spoiler]

I was rather surprised by what happened in 22. The pace and the atmosphere has thus far been very consistent. The drama was in tune to the themes presented and spoken by the characters.

Regardless, thanks to Shakespeare .

Sorry for bringing back this topic but it seems that one group decided to finish the series despite the license.Shakespeare has translated so far ep22 and ep23 and I hope they will translate the final episode soon.
Marlowe has also subbed ep22 but dropped afterwards.

.. it wasn't as bad as Shakespeare made it appear however; the city in the sky now being "just an Island on Earth" is a theory which to this day has never been explained!
Today we know that THAT kind of impact would have caused a tsunami and "no records of any Quake/Tsunami" were ever found around that time period .. making the actual events plausible.
.. I thought it was very well done -- that ending.

Yeah, I liked the ending too - what I understood of it, not having subs and all. :D Eagerly awaiting that last subbed episode!

Decent ending. [spoiler]Unlike in the book, their death is appropriate and fits into the theme that each of the main characters has saw fit as their life goal. Romeo died protecting his love as a man and husband, and Juliet sacrificed herself to protect everyone as is her role as matriarch and ruler.[/spoiler]

One thing that did bother me a bit was the Dryad and the Old Man.
