This blows. Now the best hope for good-quality eps is for somebody to put up Uncut English DVD - Rips online.

I started watching Naruto with Aone's subs so I was hoping to have their entire collection of Naruto from start to finish, including Shippuuden. But..I do understand where their coming from. Viewing purposes, the fillers sucked a lot. But to fansub these is just painful. Thanks for all your hard work Aone!

This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!

Where would the sense be in that when.. you know.. you could get it free?
A while ago, a distant friend was telling me about why he left his computer was always on. Anybody want to guess? Downloading anime, music, etc. I wanted to see Naruto, so he introduced me to this whole thing. Aone was the first group I heard about. They also subbed the batch of Naruto my friend linked me to. I was screaming obscenities at the computer screen when I first read the front page. I've gotten over it now. Thanks Aone. Your work is greatly appreciated.
I can't say that I was heartbroken at this news. Sure, Naruto is a fun anime, but it has no end in sight, and it can be particularly abyssmal at times. AonE showed a tremendous amount of perseverance to make it through all the fillers. There will always be groups subbing Naruto due to the enormous popularity of the show, so we don't have much to worry about. I look forward to AonE's future projects, whatever they may be.
Wow... this is somewhat surprising, since Aone is probably the group who had worked the longest on Naruto... and they were the best, too. Their translation were accurate - not correct, as many people have exampled here, but beyond that kind of mistakes, their work was always understandable and coherent, which is more that can be said for some other groups.
We'll have to get by Dattebayo, I guess. At the very least, they are very quick...
Oh wait, I download the raws only, no subtitles for me.
Well, good luck for Aone on their upcoming projects, anyway!
This has to come a week after I finish re-downlaoding all the Naruto Eps from AonE after my harddrive crash. They were better quality than my previously downloaded eps and will be greatly missed.
This is indeed sad news.... but I can hardly blame AonE. After almost 90 episodes of fillers, they were just depressed. The second part to their decision was that people just wanted the eps "for their archives", as many people have stated here. That kind of attitude does not make a fansubber happy. Basically that's like saying, "Sure, I like your episodes and they're great quality, but I'm never going to watch them... unless I get a burning desire to check some obscure scene or fact later." That's not the reason that a fansubber puts the effort into doing a sub. They do it so that people will watch the subbed episode when it's released, enjoy it, and stay faithful to that group. Even speed subbers want loyalty and word-of-mouth recognition. It seemed like the community was telling AonE that it didn't want Naruto from them anymore. Everyone wanted the speed-subs so they could rush to the forums and post their impressions. I admit that I'm guilty of the same thing, but seriously people, you should have seen this coming.
This leaves a problem, though. There is not currently a quality subber who has the guts to continue with this series even if it gets licensed. DB is a speed subber, and SD may drop it if N:S is licensed (which will probably happen soon, considering its success in the U.S.). I propose that a new group is formed to do quality subs on a decent time scale, say 1-2 weeks after each episode airs. I would be willing to help with this endeavor. Furthermore, I propose that the sole purpose of this group would be to do N:S, and that a commitment is made to do the entire series, no matter what may come. That's my feeling on the matter
