The Future of Minky Momo
As you're all probably aware, Crunchyroll has seemingly begun to license Minky Momo. Yesterday, it was only available in some regions of the world, but today it's been made available in North America as well.
The first thing to say is that the subs on this Crunchyroll release seem to be 100% original, not rips/copies of our subtitles or anyone elses' - the comments in the sub files seem to imply they were supplied by the alleged rights holder who licensed the show to Crunchyroll, a company named "GONZO". We haven't been able to find any more information about them.
So, the second thing, and the point of this post, is to outline what we're gonna do. Historically, when a show is licensed officially in North America, we would immediately drop it and scrub the show from torrent sites. However, right now, the group stance is to keep going with the show until there's an official license announcement of some kind.
Why? Right now, there is no official confirmation that Momo has actually been fully licensed in North America. It's also unclear as to when, or if, more episodes of the show will become available on Crunchyroll. Fifteen episodes just seem to have suddenly appeared on Crunchyroll, with no announcement or fanfare, which when combined with the sketchy and unclear history of Momo's licensing, seems suspcious.
Should a more substantial and official licensing agreement be announced, or if we were to be contacted by Crunchyroll, we will cease work on the show immediately. However, for now, we felt it was important to make the group stance public. If you have any viable and verifiable information about this licensing situation, please join our Discord or email us.

Magical Princess Minky Momo Episode 24
Episode 24: The Wandering Unicorn
Allegedly, Crunchyroll has licensed at least the first 15 episodes of Momo in some regions of the world in English. If so, that might mean the end of this fansubbing project. We'll keep you posted. Until then, here's episode 24.
