I'm not sure about this, but I always had the impression that nyanchan translated episodes of AnS (e.g. this one (http://nyanchan.livejournal.com/32995.html)) but did not actually do subtitling. If ever she posted links of shows with her translations, the subtitling work were done by other people like techni_teddy and yuckie_chan. So I think it would be better to ask permission from them as well.

However, it would still be good to ask nyanchan if her translations can be used for subbing even if other people have already done so. It may entail a little more legwork like looking for the raw files, but at least the translation is already there.

the other community that do reupload their files is ANM and stormy.. I believe stormy won't give permission with this project and I don't know about ANM. For ANM you can ask harunomasu, she is active and maintain the community for a short time or you can ask the current leader..

This project prioritizes inactive subbing teams and the like. Since Stormy and ANM are quite active let's just let them do their own thing. :)

thank you for having this awesome community^^

Thank you for making this community. I leave the fandom for some times because I've been busy with real life, when I'm trying to catch up, not so many old files available so I'm very happy to found so many here. Thank you very much for your hard work! I really appreciated it! Thank you again~
