Digimon Subtitled Officially?
ANN is hosting a poll Toei asked them to host about which of their shows you would like subtitled on VOD (either download to own, or via a Cable VOD service) and Digimon is included.
And it has been confirmed that at least in regards to VOD/Download to own, Toei owns the American Distro rights to anything listed (they might not have TV, but if it is listed, they can do it subtitled via VOD if they want if there is interest)
Very interesting at the least, link is in the Source.

It'd be nice if Digimon was offered with official subs, assuming the price is reasonable. It may even have a decent chance of happening, too, a lot of the shows on there seem pretty obscure so maybe the more well known shows like Digimon will get the msot votes.

Let's hope you lot in America get the Digimon's names right: when Digimon: The Movie was televised in the UK, poor Gomamon and Gatomon's names were spelled wrong, the colouring for each member of the cast's words (A nice personal touch, I reckon!) kept switching around, and Seraphimon had to make do with being called 'Seraphymon'. At least WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon's names were spelled correctly...

Since it's Toei, chances are there going to do it in house (I can draw no other conclusion, considering they themselves have approached ANN', and they've been working on re-establishing a US brand for themselves.)
So, if that's the case, it isn't about 'us' getting the names right, it's about Toei spelling them right. And as we've seen in the past, Toei isn't so good with that line of work. They can certainly get better, but I don't expect a masterpiece right out the door.

The back cover of the old 01 box is proof enough.
I'd hope they use Megchan's translated scripts, or retranslate, which isn't so unreasonable to hope for.

Backcover looks more like they tried to blend with the US Version. Which did not work.
Subbed Digimon should be sweet if they put effort into it.
