Profile

Shinsen-Subs was a major mid-2000s digisub group with surviving primary-source project manifests. Its own Blood+ page, archived 2006-08-31, directly lists releases 01 through 45 with dates and CRC32 values and also records a separate DVD release of episode 01. Anime-Treasures independently preserves matching later [Shinsen-Subs] Blood+ filenames and CRCs, while AnimeSuki documents Shinsen on Blood+ from the opening weeks and on Code Geass later in the 2006–2007 run. Separate evidence also documents post-license distribution and the 2005 Funimation/Joker.com enforcement episode, making 'Ignored License' a better fit than a speed/raw-leak label.

Signature style

Own project pages preserve release dates, CRC32 values and separate DVD variants. A 2006-08-31 Blood+ page directly lists episodes 01–45 plus a DVD episode 01.
