Just wanted to say again thanks for continuing with this. I really like the show. I wish it was easier to get the raws (I have 1-3 now finally, though most of the episodes aren't seeded anymore. Though usually when a sub comes out someone seeds it for a little bit. Guess I'll have to wait until the subs come out). Anyway, this isn't as "high profile" a subbing project as other shows, but wanted you to know how much we appriciate you doing it. It's a great show!
