|
|
Why are anonymous subs not being listed?
|
|
We find that anonymous subs do not provide any credits to the fansubber. As well, since you are "anonymous", we can't say
for sure that every anonymous fansub is by the same person. Therefore, we we will not list you down because credit may be
given to the wrong person.
|
|
Why are there no BT links for DVD Rips
|
|
Some of the companies have asked us to remove BT links to animes they have the license for. Therefore, we are complying to their
request by removing the BT links to all DVD rips.
|
|
When is Xanime going to be released?
|
|
We do not have any connection with the fansubbers, therefore we do not know when they will release the next episode of the
anime you are looking for. All I have to say is be patient and wait for it. You can always ask the group themself, but they
may not respond.
|
|
