So there was copyright infringement involved? Funny, there are plenty of other fansubs on YouTube that are still there. And there wasn't even a licensed English realease of the series...

Unless, they got canned for something else that they'd done? Pity; I already miss those few episodes that were subbed (even if one was a ripoff of a fansub of an episode of the Spanish version). I just wish that they hadn't been removed until /after/ the Wii YouTube channel premiered. The videos would have been in slightly better quality...


One last reply about this since this is off-topic.

That channel offered many different anime. So it probably wasn't because of Jetter Mars in particular. But just because some channels don't get taken down (for now), doesn't mean it's okay. It's just that there is so much piracy out there, you can't possibly remove all of it.

External subtitle files means you can watch the RAWs/DVDs of the show and load those subtitles over them in your media player (requires a computer obviously).

And all the subtitles were translated from dubs. Some Spanish, some Greek, some... I forget. But none of them were translated from the original Japanese version. Would've been too expensive of a commission.
I'm on Twitter.

Hmm, that explains why they were so... /liberal/ in some spots. Shame.

Too bad there isn't an official release of Jetter Mars for an English-speaking audience. Relating to the topic, it would be a fine way to see just what powers he /does/ have, so we could think up more (as I cannot read Japanese, the Encyclopedia isn't entirely clear). :3

Has anyone mentioned anything to Viki about this?

Despite my lack of Japanese, I’ll make a list in order to be more clear. According to the pictures, they pretty much explain Mars’s abilities throughout his body (I’m pretty sure you guys are pretty familiar with these abilities):

  • His eyes can shed tears
  • His ears have super hearing
  • He can smell with his nose
  • He can eat human food with his mouth
  • He can remove food he ate by taking it out of his stomach
  • His scarf can turn into a cape
  • His skin can reflect bullets
  • He can socialize with humans? (As I already said before, I’m not too sure about this one)

I feel that his drill attack is underused (it’s not even shown in this diagram) . Sometimes I forgot he had it. So maybe Mars's drill attack could have more uses. In episode 7 and 11 he still digs by the use of his hands. Maybe he should have used his drill attack instead.

Removing food from the stomach feels kinda odd, in 2003 they made the food get out by particles of light.

Guess same thing could be applied to Mars if Tezuka.Co decided to revive the series.
