Just About Fresh Clone Wars Thoughts: Overlords

When it turned out that the latest episode of Clone Wars wasn't shown on TV up here when I was expecting it to, I fell back to waiting until the next morning and getting a copy through file sharing. In the process, I did meditate somewhat on the "fansub dilemma" in anime, where fans turn out speedy translations of episodes just aired in Japan but in the process perhaps condition other fans not to buy "official" releases, which maybe holds things somewhat underground over here and might even lead to a "watch it right away, forget about it, and move on to the next ephemeral product" mentality. I've told myself there's no such thing as a "right to anime," but in wanting to see the latest Clone Wars episode right away I seem to have forfeited any "right to the high ground" myself. Still, as with some other episodes that didn't air promptly up here, I might have wanted to see it because I was concerned how it would turn out...
