Welli've decided to make a topic based on all the current and new fansubbed anime, being there reallys seems to be no place to talk about them in the other anime topic's, basically this will be about stuff we're all currently watching, new shows etc,etc. So discuss your current naruto or Full Metal Alchemist ep's etc,etc here.

Can't give direction links but using google won't be challenge, so have a look for ?baka updates? and ?tokyotosho?, between the sites you'll know about every new release for every show all the time, and get links to homewebsites of Fansub groups and IRC addresses to hunt down older releases, also if you have knowledge of the Alt.Binaries groups then Alt.Binaries.Multimedia.Anime(and ABMA.repost) provide another resource, and regularly have people posting older shows in bulk, specially in repost.

New to anime? Looking to something get into, then take a look at the current Popular shows
Naruto - pretty much every anime fan has at least watched one episode or read one chapter of this Story about an Outcasted ninja kid, trying to make the world recognise him for the great ninja he say?s he?ll become, instead of a container for much feared Demon. His adventures takes him through tough training, group mission?s and deadly exams in which he?ll make and lose new friends while fighting for his ?Way of Ninja? which usually involves him taking a beating to protect his friends.
Fansub groups ? For earlier episode either ToriyamaWorld(TW) or ANBU+Aone are quality subs, but TW stopped around ep 50 and are very hard to find, so go the ANBU+Aone route. There are 130+ eps and still going out and the current Fansubbing groups have changed recently after the show was Licensed to be butched on Cartoon Network. So look for either Aone for quality subs, they are usually a week behind on the current aired TV episode. The other is Dattebayo who Speed sub naruto to a above passable watch in exchange getting the episode 1-2 days after it aired in Japan.
Yakitate Japan 40+ep subbed so far of tournament Bread making, very good stuff.
One Piece 160+ep subbed(240raw), Naurto with pirates minus the training filler, stupid power ups and tournaments (better than Naruto i reckon)

Current new shows (Q4) - I'll up date this everytime as new season starts so i don't lose it in pages like normal!
Gun Buster2 ep4(oct 28th) - i'm really, really looking forward to this one, i hope my fanboy dreams of what i expect to turn up on Mars aren't dashed. Still waiting on it!
Mai-Otome - 'sequel' to Mai-Hime set the same characters(looks and personality wise), Costume?s now replace robots and the cast gets even larger, animation, art and sound are top quality.
Jigoku Shoujo ? One off eps shows people taking revenge on there tormentors, via the use of an Internet page that appears at a certain time, will they, won?t pay the price needed to take ultimate revenge on there most hated person.
Gunparade Orchestra - New Gunparade, i like G:March, hope this will be more of the same. Still not out yet.
Black Lagoon - Super Gun-Action, features pirates and Nazi's
Angel Heart - Super Assassin gets new heart after attempted suicide(by the people that turned her into assassin), has strange dreams and sets off to find out about her heart donor and Heart donor?s lover, seems to be based in he same universe as City Hunter (if any one can remember that), Old school art, not seen how good the animation is for the action scene as now have happened yet.
Black Cat ? Assassins and Sweepers colliding with on another other targets. Animation and style is very similar to brilliant Get Backers.
Blood+ - tv series of the vampire movie, Big Budget shows in the animation and art as Vampire Killing machine regains her memories, well trying to deal with her current personality.
Kashimashi - boy with broken heart, runs away, gets caught up in alien spaceship crash, becomes a girl... not seen yet.
Noein - one to watch, same people at Eureka7 animation, story and the characters look top, alternate dimension wars, and time traveling. After the 1st episode I?m still none wiser as to what?s going on, opens with a fantastical flying battle before jumping into modern life.
Cluster Edge - Fantasy world + airplane military school, art looks ok, animation is awful. If your no found campness or bishi shows stay well clear.
Mushishi ? Follows a Mushi hunter, Mushi?s being life forms that as monster and spirit like life-forms on something similar to FF7 lifestream. Seems to be one off stories so far, following humans interaction with the Mushi. Strong art, animation and sound.
Immortal Grand Prix - CG mecha stuff similar to B.Tenshi ART, hopefully not as bad. Not seen yet
Idaten Jump - Bike racing... well Yukitake can make bread interesting... Not Seen.
Capeta ? go kart racing and horrible at that, every character will have you wishing death curses on them. Using a mix of CGI for racing. Stay clear.
Hotori-Tada Saiwai wo Koinegau ? One off OVA I think. Robots with personalities and memories of dead people planted in them, trained to act like the dead would have. Robot meets a Human girl losing her memory, while Robot is making new ones he doesn?t want. Script won award. Average art/animation nothing that would spoil the story.
Aria - future half sunken cities, Girl?s training in the labyrinths of cannels through one city with dreams of owning her own Boat, very slice of life. Good Art and likeable characters.
Solty Rei - GONZO's new animation, robot girl becomes a bounty hunter, who doesn't know her past. Enjoyable if predictable, certainly worth watch 1 or 2eps.
others...
Paradise Kiss - surprise of the season, slice of life from the fashion world to replace the equally as excellent Honey?n?Clover
Heart2 - ?sequel? waiting description
Canvas2 - ?sequel? waiting description
Lamune, H-game Harlem
Happy7, 7 magic girl complete with costumes, terribale story and animation even for the usual magical girl shows. Miss
Shakugan no Shana ? Spirit eating monster?s, spirit hunters and ?replacement souls? of eaten humans called torches to lessen the impact of souls being destroyed. Follows a hunter called Flame Haze and a torch with a hidden ?something? in it when they meet during a fight.
