This was meant to be one of our projects, but got cancelled, then revived. Shigofumi will be one of our side projects, meaning that it will be queued up behind other projects should there be a clash of scheduling. I revived this project to fill the time between Mon-Thurs when there’s much idling going on in the staff channel. However, don’t expect the releases to be very regular, unlike what we plan with H2O, True Tears and Rosario.

So, what is Shigofumi about? Basically, it’s about a postal worker called Fumika and her companion, a talking staff named Kanaka. A Shigofumi is a letter sent from the dead, and Fumika delivers them. Often, the contents of these letters can be very controversial. The genre is mystery drama, with some romance thrown it. Judging from the first two episodes, it’s one of the stronger series of this season. Special thanks goes out to the people from Ayako for their help with Shigofumi.

    woo thanks alot. Appreciate your guys hard work.

  2. Oh my god. I remember m33w not being sure what they should pick up, since most of the good series would have already been picked up. And here is my favourite subbing group, actively doing all the good stuff. I love you guys. *group hug*

    Even if it’s a side project I’m sure it’ll be out faster then most groups…

    Thanks for subbing this! Definitely one of the best premiers, and thus far neglected. Thanks a lot.

  7. Thank you, was hoping a familiar group would do this show. I already watched 1 episode but was looking for a slightly better quality version.

    Love you guys, you sure keep yourselves busy.

    I agree with you saying that it’s “one of the strongr animes of the season” coimpletely. The first episode was brilliant ^^, the end has me wanting more… which was a wind-up when I remembered this was a “Side-project” ; ;

    Amazing anime.. I can’t wait to see the next episode. Just wondering, do the characters except for Fumika & Kanaka change every episode or does it carry on?

    Thanks M.3.3.W!!

    I believe there are new characters every few episodes. After all, the first dude didn’t last very long. However, I have a feeling that the detective might make repeat appearances.

  17. Nice Rocket?

    The Xvid version has an audio problem. Nothing comes out of the left side.

    Great Choice for a “Side Project”.

    I thought it would be like Shinigami no Ballad, but it had that School Days twist at the end;) Who would’ve seen that coming? I just hope that the girl doesn’t sever the head & launch it on the poor guy’s rocket. LOL I liked it even though it did end with a cliffhanger.

    “many” needed to be added in “no matter how times” (7:14), but that’s a minor thing that I corrected with my copy. Thought the grammar check would tingle beforehand, but it just goes to show that checking with programs can’t really be accurate till you’ve seen the entire ep by yourself.
