I hope you all enjoyed my extremely biased Spring 2008 anime preview. My ratings were based solely on my enjoyment of the first episode of the shows. Thus, obscenely bad shows like Kanokon scored higher than a show with great production values like Kurenai for me. I’ll probably continue watching most of the series I rated in green, and drop the orange ones except for Kurenai. Shows with good plots and a strong storyline can improve as the series develops, and have a more lasting value. Thus Kurenai could easily grow to an ‘excellent’ by the end of the series. And on the other hand, shows with weak plots can quickly lose value if it becomes too repetitious. But, anyway, can’t really judge too much from one episode.
The line-up this season seems very strong. There are so many good shows that I just don’t know what to watch. So many shows I didn’t include in the preview. What are you guys looking forward to?
Moving on, we’re proud to release our fansub for episode one of Special A. It’s a story about Hanazono Hikari, who can’t for the life of her, ever beat Takishima Kei in anything. Kei has long had a crush on Hikari, but she’s simply too thick to realise that. Incidentally, they’re in the “Special A” class, which is the cream of the crop class of the best seven students on campus. They often lounge in the greenhouse and drink tea all day long.
Also, I’d like to introduce our new typesetter for ItaKiss and Special A, ThaEagle. It’s a bit fancier now compared to our plainer past releases. Please tell us if you like it. Oh, don’t forget to download the episode and give your comments too.

Thank you for subbing this show. This is one of my most anticipated shows of the new season. Now that you guys are subbing it I know it will get a quality release.
Also, thank you for the excellent job you did on H20 and the other two shows you did last season :).
4:19 pm on April 9th, 2008
Hey on wikipedia it says this series is licensed by VIZ Media in the US.
4:33 pm on April 9th, 2008
Menos: I’m pretty sure that’s the manga that’s licensed. Manga licensing doesn’t affect anime licensing, obviously, so we’ll be continuing subbing unless circumstances change.
4:38 pm on April 9th, 2008
And then the dogs will come barking if that happens…
4:56 pm on April 9th, 2008
thank you, I’ve been waiting for this~
5:23 pm on April 9th, 2008
the plot sounds a lil elitist, but still looks fun to watch!
u guys rock.
5:49 pm on April 9th, 2008
Thanks for all the great work that you guys do. I have been looking forward to this one. I know that when looking for quality subs I can always turn to you guys.
6:00 pm on April 9th, 2008
I did not originally plan on watching this. But you’re right. This series is so cool. Thank you
6:12 pm on April 9th, 2008
I have already seen some pics and it showed itself pretty interesting already downloading it.
7:08 pm on April 9th, 2008
is it just me or they are all freaks….those skinny long arms and legs are scary
8:48 pm on April 9th, 2008
Thanks, I have been waiting for somebody to sub this.
9:37 pm on April 9th, 2008
Heh, surely if the subbing of this stops…the dogs will surely come barking. x’D
Finally! ^.^ The subbed version! I’ve been waiting~ hehe
-downloads-
I knew it would come out today. ;p I woke unexpectedly and had to check my comp and then I see this. Heh.
Thanks m.3.3.w, I hope to see more subs from you guys. ^.^
10:43 pm on April 9th, 2008
OMG THANK YOU! You are fantastic at subbing! I loved both Special A and It Started with a Kiss, and I can’t wait for all the rest of the episodes!
Thank you!
12:48 am on April 10th, 2008
Awesome serie 🙂
2:50 am on April 10th, 2008
i liked episode 1 ^^
2:51 am on April 10th, 2008
and the voice actor for Kei is the same who does Leloch from Code Geass ^_^
2:53 am on April 10th, 2008
*Lelouch typo v_v
5:33 am on April 10th, 2008
Based from initial m33w description about Special A, it seems the story somehow resembles KareKano (His and Her Circumstances / Tales at North Hills High) since the female lead thinks the boy as her rival first, but the boy actually likes the girl.

For people commenting about quality
Check the comparison of the RAW (best one available)

And the encode.

What a quality difference ! Good job definitely !
Well, that show looks promising ^^
Was laughing when the girl started to sing and an explosion showed up ^^ (And I wondered why she wasn’t talking at all)
9:34 am on April 10th, 2008
Only started watching it because you were subbing it, but it looks quite good. 🙂
Oh, and the typesetting is absolutely great!
9:35 am on April 10th, 2008
I thought it was okay, A little over-the-top comedy but I suppose worth the watch. I’ll watch a few more episodes to see if I like it or not.
11:07 am on April 10th, 2008
wow you guys do an awesome job subbing AND encoding. thanks for letting us know BiGGuY ^^
2:40 pm on April 10th, 2008
i hope megumi will sing again
4:30 pm on April 10th, 2008
Haha thanks for the new anime series, Looks promising. I hope I have the turn to watch it and enjoy it.
Thanks to the subbers!
4:36 pm on April 10th, 2008
I was hoping for a little bit more serious drama anime this season, but it looks like you’re gonna be subbing romantic comedies for now. Anyway, good job subbing as always. Kurenai seems to be the one holding the drama title for now.
I’ll just set my hopes up for Code Geass & Macross Frontier to replace the gap Gundam 00 will leave while on hiatus. Man, Gundam went on a character killing frenzy the last few episodes. Vampire Knight seems promising & Shoku-dan did a very good job subbing it (liked the gothic fonts), but I’m a little bit weary of the “girl between 2 guys’ sandwich” plot since I just finished Hatenkou Yugi. I know it’s nowhere near Vampire Knight’s league, but I’m starting to get bored with vampires, supernatural & GB2GS plots since they’ve been done before & for some odd reason, Vampire Knight reminds me of Zombie Loan (girl sandwich & guy with gun, does Kaname Kuran own a sword?). Geass already has a Zero, isn’t that kinda name infringement?! I wonder if Shoku-dan will use h264?
4:52 pm on April 10th, 2008
Encode is fine, subs are fine.
Unfortunately the show is not particularly good – but I will give it another chance. Thanks!
5:29 pm on April 10th, 2008
…but this is shoujo -not that I have anything against those thought, but this is unlike last m33w works on, and I kinda looking forward for more shounen ~true tears, more comedy-drama harem… (or seinen ~shigofumi )… cause most shoujo anime/mangas got predictable ending, not to mention cliche elements. Yep, just my rants…
7:00 pm on April 10th, 2008
I definitely love this show! Another great pick. m.3.3.w is starting to become my fave subbers together with dattebayo lol Lovely job on the subs. ^.^
6:31 am on April 11th, 2008
You do realise BakaWolf-m.3.3.w can only choose from the series that are actually airing?
So there won’t always be a series to be subbed that meet a particular genre requirement etc.
Special A has potential, we just have to see where it goes. It is a rule of thumb never to judge an anime merely on its first episode.
Enjoy the spring season of animes~ =)
10:24 am on April 11th, 2008
Definitely looking forward to more from this series subbed by m33w, it was really quick and of quality considering how much typesetting was needed to be done because of Megumi, cool!
I love the dogs that come barking as much as m33w! ^_-
7:14 pm on April 11th, 2008
I just noticed now, but HOLY CRAP AT HOW LONG THEIR LEGS ARE..
2:28 am on April 12th, 2008
This season I’m really looking forward to Special A and Vampire Knight
2:28 am on April 12th, 2008
This season I’m really looking forward to Special A and Vampire Knight. And some J-dramas, Zettai Kareshi and Gokusen 3 😀
Thank you so much for subbing this!
(had to post again, as it was cut x__x)
6:13 am on April 12th, 2008
meth: We have been doing more drama-type animes, but most of the shows we do are romance type shows. Nothing else this season appealed to us so we chose these two.
2:34 pm on April 12th, 2008
Awesome Awesome!!!!!!!
You guys are too cool for your own good 😀
8:43 pm on April 12th, 2008
Well Specail A and Vampire knight are cool they have some promise, need to watch more but the long arms and legs kinda freak me out, Kurenai was kinda boring. I need a healthy dose of Shonen and Shojo anime this year.
8:59 pm on April 12th, 2008
I liked Nabari no ou more than Special A and Vampire knight.
3:06 pm on April 13th, 2008
Liked this series so much..
1:22 am on April 15th, 2008
thanks so much for subbing this series! =)
