Which can either make or break newcomers. Either way, it's stupid and unnecessary.
This is a fansub, made by fans, for fans. Why don't they watch the dub if they are newcomers? >_> Your argument for this seems to be invalid.
And cut me the slack of "because I want them to watch the latest episodes blabla". Any newcomer wouldn't understand what the hell is going on if you drop them in the middle of the story. Most of the "newcomer episodes" are either movies or made in the earlier storyline.
