That statement confused me as well. It actually doesn't say that it's going to have 26 episodes, but rather that it's going to be the <em>26th</em> World Masterpiece Theatre. ;) Ah, okay.

I'm sure they got 26 from somewhere though, don't normally just make up the num of eps. I can understand about not having so much time to fansub anyway. I didn't necessarily mean doing it all yourself though, some groups are just short on a TL checker which doesn't require so much time. There's no rush either, not like episodes need to be speed subbed. I'd be happy if I got 1 episode a month :). Anyway, I'm sure it'll get subbed eventually. When I'm a bit more proficient I'll be going for these kind of series myself, although finding raws for Les Miserables perhaps may not be a fun task.

I really hope that a fansub group picks it up, will you tell if any of them does? Anyway, I'll follow your reviews closely. I also hope that they don't change Anne's personality. If she turns out to be different from the young Anne at the beginning of Akage no Anne, it'll be very disappointing. I hope they have a strong sense of coherence.

And the reason why I'm not doing fansubs is simple: I'm already putting a lot of my free time into blogging, so I don't have the extra time to invest into fansubbing. My Japanese also still isn't good enough to give accurate translations of every single sentence. Windspirit: Yeah, unfortunately that's what most people see them as. AlexS: It's indeed possible. You obviously don't have to expect to be able to understand every single sentence, but it's surprisingly easy to understand the gist of every episode.

I can catch most of the dialogue for these WMT anime, but having to look things up or think too much about the language gets on my nerves. (I sit too far from the TV and have no remote for it -_-) It'd be nice if some raw provider also bundled some closed captions in, I can read Japanese quite well but listening is still a problem. With some CC, chances of it being subbed would be much better. I've already assumed nobody will sub the show anyway so not getting my hopes up about anything :( Not sure if you've answered this in a past post or something before, but why don't you get involved with fansubbing these under-appreciated series yourself? Since it's only 26 episodes (apparently), I might give it a try raw, so I'll be relying on you to blog it. Budge Wilson is a lady btw. >_>

But honestly my biggest regret is not being able to watch Porfy no Nagai Tabi... Your comments on the detailed summaries and the facility to understand WMT anime make me wonder: If during christmas break I spend some effort for one week to learn the basics of spoken japanese, do you think I might stand a chance of catching something? I guess I could watch the raw, read your summary, and have a second go at it. Hopefully after 4-5 episodes most of the basic vocabulary of the series should be integrated. Anyway it was clever of you to review fansubbed Akage no Anne a few days ago, now I feel sufficiently invested in the series to actually try to learn enough japanese to be able to follow it ^_^ I’ve just finished the last episode of Akage no Anne, and I would love to see this prequel, but unfortunately I have no proficiency with Japanese…
