Here is Nogizaka 06. There are many references in this episode, so I hope you guys are otaku enough to know most/all of them. We’ll update the bored section some time later with a list of references.

edit: Dom wanted me to add pictures, so here you go.

Hi guise, here are some references that you might not get (not going to post obvious ones),

  • The guide by Nobunaga is an imitation of the guide being seen by Amuro Ray while entering the cockpit of his Gundam in Mobile Suit Gundam.
  • When they were lining up for buying the doujin, Yuuto asked Haruka why she wanted to buy the doujin from A Cat Bus Stop, Haruka replied because she liked the artist. In fact, the artist is the one who drew Haruka. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaa -> click on his personal website… and mind = blown )
  • The person who Nanami dressed up as was actually Taro Aso , he is a famous politician, also is known to be a manga fan. He was seen reading Rozen Maiden at the airport, thus earning his nickname ‘Rozen Aso’.
  • The day this episode aired was actually the start of the real C74 in Tokyo.

There are more references in this episode, but those are the obvious ones, so I won’t name them.

    The only thing interfering with my download is my dad being home. Curse limited connections…

    Hey guys, did you unlearn encoding technique? You usedd to do the encodes with the same quality and smaller files, but now, what happened? I’m not really complaining or anything, but your great encodes were by far the main reason for me to choose you guys, and I’m sure I’m not the only one… by the way, keep up the good work at everything else. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Thanks for the release… not so happy right now cause my anime archiving partition decided to turn RAW on me. =(

    But nonetheless, I shall download! xP

    Kusanagi, we need the larger file size for Nogizaka because of a better raw source. The file sizes are bigger, but the picture quality is much better. It’s definitely not the same as in episodes 1-4.

    Firstly, sorry for my english.
    tun, Nogizaka episode 5 have size 200MB, but episode 6 have size ~233MB. Does this mean that quality of episode 6 is better than episode 5?

    maybe. sometimes it’s just because there is more movement and colours, so more space is needed.

    With ep.5, there wasn’t enough bitrate to encode the sharpness which resulted in artifacts around edges.

    Maybe the encoder decided to increase the bitrate instead of reduce the sharpness.

    Sorry…just had to do that for some odd reason.
    -shrugs-
    anyways..
    Thanks for the 6th epi! :’D

    First! Wow~ ^^ You guys are awesome! Hehe

    For those who keep complaining about the size..
    please, if you actually read the updates here, you wouldn’t complain like that.
    But if you don’t like the size find some other fansub group who has a size you’d rather download and prolly has less quality! Dx

    @Anon, that was exactly it. + this episode needed an overall more bitrate. So we’re gonna stick to 233MB.

    @Kusanagi, in case you didn’t notice the picture quality went up a whole lot. The source has lots more details so we want to preserve those. Thus needs more bitrate. Otherwise you would get blocking party instead of an encode. Itazura na Kiss also has TS file now, so not sure if we can keep the 140MB filesize, we’ll see when it’s released. It might get to 170MB. Every anime is different in compression. And every episode is different.

    Tun, dont know if you were aware, but I just noticed your use of Guise. Unless you were actually talking about one or more of the of the definitions below, I think you may have meant to type “GUYS”.
    (just looking out for you)

    Guise
    noun 1. general external appearance; aspect; semblance: an old principle in a new guise.
    2. assumed appearance or mere semblance: under the guise of friendship.
    3. style of dress: in the guise of a shepherd.
    4. Archaic. manner; mode.
    โ€“verb (used with object) 5. to dress; attire: children guised as cowboys.
    โ€“verb (used without object) 6. Scot. and North England. to appear or go in disguise.
