Yes /a/, that was me.

I guess I was wrong about the summer Olympics btw. Exciting shit is exciting. Anyway, some more updates.

Nogizaka 05
Encoding will begin tonight when BiGGuY gets back from work. We’ll be QCing the script and TS during the day while we wait. If all goes well, it should be released tonight, but tomorrow at the very latest. We also got a transport stream for Nogizaka now, so the quality will be much improved. I know people bitched about the blurriness in episode 4, so we looked into getting a different raw source. I saw some before and after pictures of the episode 5 encode, and it looks great.

Itazura na Kiss 18
Waiting on translation check. This one has quite a bit of medical terms, so that might be a source of hold ups. We have a few TL checkers so hopefully they can collectively figure them all out in case asagao can’t get it by himself (he should be able to though ;)).

Special A 19
Were waiting on the transport stream for this one as well. If you saw the episode 18 picture quality, I think you’d agree that it is worth every single second that we wait for it. The script is also waiting on translation check, but the transport stream doesn’t come to us for a few days. This is also a Megumi episode if you haven’t already heard, so the TS is insane once again.

Seto no Hanayome 19
I’ve finally gotten some time to work on this. This show is truly a fansubber’s nightmare from almost every aspect. If I didn’t have the actual Japanese scripts, this show would be impossible to do accurately. Episode 19 is about halfway done with editing. Hopefully I can have it ready for ThaEagle for typesetting when he gets back from vacation. You guys will have non-shitty subs for this great show eventually.
I have no idea what’s going on with the DVD’s. The ripper seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I might ask BiGGuY to continue them for me, but TV rips come first.

In other news
Our typesetter, ThaEagle, went on vacation today, and won’t be back for 5 days I think. xess and maybe Soichiro will pick up the slack on SA 19. Thankfully ThaEagle did the Itazura 18 TS before he left though, so that is taken care of. That’s it for today.

  1. My, that was certainly thoughtful of you to drop by like that. Much thanks.

    But was it that you were already there on… other business and thus happened to be in the neighborhood of that thread, or was it your magic subber-sense that alerted you to your task?

    In any case, thanks for the Nogizaka Haruka–and you are absolute gods[ends] for planning on finishing Seto no Hanayome.
    We were just talking about the lack of good subs for it in /a/. Like we do every goddamned day.

    Kudos.

    No, I was gonna write an update later today, but someone linked me to that Nogizaka thread when I woke up so I decided to write it now.

    awesome news with nogizaka.

    i didn’t really detect any blurriness with nogizaka (just a little, not OVERLY blurred… nothing to whine about)

    also, awesome news for seto

    are you guys also planning on re doing 1-16 with HD Raws? or should i just get those episodes from gg somewhere(tokyo toshokan)?

    Richard_Omega, I seriously doubt that we’re gonna finish the HD raws for 1-16. Just grab the gg episodes somewhere. I don’t think there’s any working torrent though.
