1) Releases in a quick time frame. Seriously fansubbers have to work and have their own lives, but yet several fansub groups can still make quality releases within a day after it has aired in Japan. I don't expect it to be as fast as fansubs but it still has to make it in a timely fashion.
2) Reasonable prices. The easiest way to do this would be to enable torrent technology and provide the series through downloads(I am sure if you instigated some sort of reward system you could get uses to provide upload power. Perhaps something like a discount for every 20 Gigabytes you upload or something).*
3) Don't rape the dialog or cultural references. I watch foreign shows to get a taste of their culture and way of life.
4) Don't over-edit or remove scenes just because you think they are too adult'ish or not fitting in with American society(this is a bit.... better than what it was in the past; so I don't have too many complaints here anymore this is just a warning not to repeat past mistakes).
5) Don't change the characters personalities(As with number 4 this hasn't been horrible in the official releases I have seen of late.... well other than 4kids).
6)Release more animes. I have watched several on fansubs that just haven't been released over here. And until the day that all attractive anime is released in our language fansubs will still have a niche.
7) If you are going to dub don't cut costs on the Voice Actors. Bad choices on the voice actors can ruin it even if you have the above all in good use. Fansubbers don't have to worry about this since it is just a sub(as a note in the past even fans could do a 'better' dub than what was released to the public for this and above reasons).
8) Public execution of the ones running the 4kids anime division. Preferably a painful execution
I jest.
Or do I?
*If it was set so that discounts wouldn't stack you would actually be promoting them to buy more anime from you(i.e. you would have to use the one discount before you would get another).
