What:
This is my fansub database. It has three main lists.
Those three lists all contain the same data.
They are just sorted differently (by anime title, subber name, and time I last updated their entry).
The purple bullets, 
, are used to go between the three lists. If it is in the table cell that contains the anime title, it will go to that entry in the anime sorted list.
If it is in the cell that contains the subber name, it will go to that entry in the subber sorted list.
The green bullets, 
, are used to go to a link that has some extra information about a certian entry. Sometimes the info is useful, other times it is not. Regardless, I put it there...it's for you to find out :)
The red bullets, 
, are used to specify that a certain anime has been picked up domestically and it'll link to that company's homepage if I know what it is.
When:
I do a major update on the page about every week or so. I do small updates as I get the updates in. It takes me no time at all to do a small update. (add a few entries or change some entries that I just got information on)
At the bottom of every single page, it should list the date that the ENTIRE homepage was last updated. If I change one entry, then all of the pages will reflect the new date.
Where:
I have a mirror of this site at http://www.sempai.org. This is because sometimes this site goes down (not that often) or there are connection problems or whatever...
Why:
I made this database because I saw a lot of fansubbers duplicate translation and other subbing efforts and hoped that better knowledge of what other groups were doing and have done would help.
This homepage is NOT here to help people obtain these titles (more on this later). But, if you are a fansubber and have an LD and see that someone is working or has already finished subbing it, maybe you can get their script or help so you can sub your own.
If not, no big deal. Now, if you aren't a fansubber, does this mean that this homepage will be of no use to you? I hope not.
At least now you know some (some because this database will never ever be complete) of the titles that people have done and are doing without having to go and search out all the information yourself. Just please read the fansubbers' pages when they have one before you go asking them questions. Not all of my information I have here is correct by a long shot. Some fansubbers don't distribute or don't distribute any more. They may not even subtitle or be around anymore (thus, why a lot of them are not reachable) Please take this into consideration before you go bugging them. If you are trying to find a fansubber who is not listed, my best suggestion is to try to post to a newsgroup or mailing lists. If they don't respond or someone who knows them doesn't respond, someone else may who knows them. If not, either they are not contactable, or they just don't want to be contacted.
I guess another reason I did this is because I was bored at the time :) This has been fun to do and I'm still trying to add some more options to it, but other projects have started to take up most of my time. So now, I think I'll mostly just update the page as opposed to add new features...but you never know.
How:
All of the HTML files for this homepage have been created by a program I wrote. This program is very specific to this homepage, so I don't know if it would be useful for much else.
But I did that so I could easily create the files and change the average size of each page and have interlinks between pages and stuff like that. Also, I just like to program so put that all together and that's why I made a program for it.
Other than that, it's simple HTML code...just a whole lot of it. I tried to make the HTML files small enough so they don't take forever to load. So instead of 3 really really big HTML files for the different lists, I have around 100 or so different HTML files... I also tried not to put any images here (or very small and repeated ones when I did) since that would slow down the loading time trying to find things. I may decide to make two versions with graphics and no graphics at a later date, but don't know if I should even bother.
This is using the same software as I used to create its sister page, The Fansub Distributor Database.
Welp...if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me, but make sure you said you read this page first, else I'll probably send you back a nasty reply
