Big day around the world as the Olympics begin today. I personally don’t like the summer games too much, so I don’t really care. The winter games are where it’s at. Anyway, I have a few minor updates.
Baka-wolf
As you all know, we’ve split from Baka-wolf several days ago. However, they still host our files on their DDL. You may still get them there.
Itazura na Kiss
Itazura na Kiss will now air on Saturdays on channel TBS. CBC decided to air episode 16 twice in a row for some reason, so now they don’t air Itazura first anymore. Sun TV is two weeks behind. Please delay your whining by 3 days to make up for this change. 😉
This does however kinda spoil our scheduling as everything gets packed into the weekend.
Special A
We’ve been swapping some staff around for Special A because of how swamped we are with so many projects. Though we did also do four projects at a time two seasons ago. Seems like people are a bit more busy this season. Clephas will be the new translation checker for S-A. TS will be jointly done by xess, Revenant and ThaEagle now.
Also, please welcome Soichiro, our new encoder for S-A, who will hopefully be able to obtain transport streams for Special A on a consistent basis. The raw quality for Special A has been notoriously bad and we’re hoping that getting the transport streams will improve the video quality. The script itself is 100% ready, and typesetting is on hold until we get the transport stream and make a work raw out of it.
If you don’t know what a transport stream is, read the wikipedia article.

Anirena
Some of you may be experiencing problems with Anirena. They’ve apparently incorrectly banned certain IPs or something, I don’t know. Either way, we’ll be multi-tracking using nyaa torrents from now on to solve this problem. We are in no way affiliated with Anirena, so that’s out of our control.
That’s it for now. Thank you for reading.

Unfortunately, we generally do not have any timers because I time it myself simultaneously while translating. That is why you never see any timer credits on the credits or whatever.

However, a timer may be useful for nogizaka as incestmango does the timing separate from the translations.

the opening ceremonies where one of the best i have seen, at the end the guy hanging with the torch, i though the cable snap for one sec and that he was going to fall O_O
1:52 am on August 9th, 2008
yep, i thought the guy was gunna fall too. but yeah that opening ceremony was AWESOME!! im glad i decided to watch it. i dont think it was one of the best, but it was THE BEST.

OK then, will beg for new eps of Itakiss 3 days later. lol
Just found out today after watching Macross Frontier ep 18 that Sheryl Nome is actually supposed to be spelled Noam. Being slightly on the OCD side, I have to go back & change everything regarding her! It’s the exact same thing that I need to do with Kallen for Geass. If I can’t trust ANN to get it right, then who?! I know it may be trivial to some & can be a pain, but I just can’t help it, dammit!
2:27 pm on August 11th, 2008
Ok, will delay whining for three days for Itazura na Kiss.
