Fansubs are subtitled videos created by fans, and are generally released and distributed over the Internet. The movement for fansubbing was driven forward by English-language fans of Japanese origin television such as anime and dramas. Fansubs exist in many languages other than English, but English language subs are the most common. It is because of volunteer fansub communities around the world that anime and J-drama has achieved a wide following around the world. Most fansub groups see themselves as evangelists for Japanese media industries overseas, and will only subtitle series that have yet to be licensed in the target language. Once a series has been slated for commercial release overseas, most fansub groups will remove their works from the net.
