Watch Out! Exploding Bleach Episodes Recalled! [UPDATED]

2008/03/04

Dattebayo Fansubs, LLC is issuing a recall on episodes of Bleach that could potentially explode when opened in a media player, says Dattebayo's Public Relations Liason, Impsyn.
Naruto, which is also provided by Dattebayo Fansubs, LLC, is not affected and should not be returned.
The episodes of Bleach involved in the recall were released between September 11, 2007 until February 29, 2008, and include regular, double episodes, and specials, as well as trolls.
The recall ONLY affects you if you did NOT download Bleach directly from Dattebayo Fansubs, LLC. If you downloaded Bleach from a direct download site (such as NarutoFan, BleachPortal, or any other non-Dattebayo affiliated organization), you must immediately place the affected Bleach episodes in the Recycle Bin, then right-click and select 'Empty Recycle Bin' from the context menu. This is especially important if the Bleach episode looks over-sized, is less than 170MiB, or crashes your explorer.exe.

Doesn't effect me. I always get things from the source instead of relying on sites like Narutofan and Bleachportal.

Wonder if they'll add YHBT soon, and that the message was them just saying to stop using those sites (Just like how they hate that the subs get thrown on youtube and the like).

i don't like people putting dattebayo stuff on you tube

A file? Exploding? Huh?

This is probably just some lame hoax or joke over at Dattebayo. They've always been against third party sharing, acting all high and mighty as if they're the only fansubbing group out there.

It is dattebayo trolling again, they are considered the king of trolls you know.

My thoughts exactly. Its very naive and stupid for them to think that their subs wont get shared outside their site.

Not much of a problem for me anyways. I read more manga these days than watch anime.

Its called cross-site scripting and can be used to execute buffer overloads.

If the file name is in start, run, and you type in run: c://program files, click on browse, click on program files and look for the file name and delete. If file says being used by other file, then reboot and go back and delete.

[Goldfish God]

it's going to crash explorer (windows rendering) or internet explorer (the web browser)?

Better just open it with firefox on linux

GG fansubbers.

Go Firefox + youtube.

(yes yes, I respect your hard work to do unpaid volunteering. I've even known a few fansubers. But you all work unlicensed on what is actually a product to which you own no rights. Interpreting and throwing words onto it doesn't make it yours. You're either doing it for the community/achievment or for experience in the field. Find an alternate way to distribute it if the piracy, that you yourself are actually a part of (pirating the original product in digital mediums, then editing and futhering it) bothers you. (this ones just to put another parenthesis comment in. Cool, isnt it?))

unpaid volunteering

Uh? Have you actually seen how much people pay them to sub something?
