Just as we promised, here’s the full batch of the Shigofumi DVDs. So, what’s different in the DVD version? Firstly, some censorship was removed. Especially some scenes with guns. Secondly, the video quality is much higher.
And what have we changed in our scripts? We’ve made huge improvements to the scripts for the first four episodes. They should have a reasonably good level of translation accuracy now. All the episodes were also QCed for any glaring mistakes. I think we’ve made some good improvement over the course of the year in terms of quality. It’s too bad that we’re so much slower nowadays though. But, can’t have everything. Some of our members are quite busy, but they do set aside the necessary time to fansub.
The files are on average, about 250MB (total is 3.24GB), and in standard DVD resolution (of course). However, the videos have been pre-stretched to 16:9 already, so they’re not anamorphic. This was done to make it easier to migrate scripts without the need to resize everything. Our TV releases for Shigofumi was only 100MB per episode, so you can imagine how poor the TV broadcast quality was.
If you’ve not watched Shigofumi, you should. It’s good.

Thanks for the release. I haven’t watched Shigofumi yet, but I’ll download it and see how it turns out.

Forgive me for asking, as I am very thankful for your work. I was only wondering if you were planing on doing the picture dramas?
12:53 pm on November 16th, 2008
Awesome, thanks.

Wow, just read about Shigofumi @ ANN several days before. Looks interesting, and was about to look for some subs. Thanks a lot.
7:19 pm on November 16th, 2008
I need to watch this show
12:02 am on November 17th, 2008
From the comparison pic, I think the differences are so small that we can’t compare them with just first glance >_<
2:24 am on November 17th, 2008
Just some slight different than the TV version, minor details
6:42 am on November 17th, 2008
True Tears DVD???
6:50 am on November 17th, 2008
Hey, I don’t even know this series is even completed…
I thought it was dropped for being gotten licensed in US, and so I also dropped it because no other decent fansubs is taking it. It’s time for me to pick it up again…
12:39 pm on November 17th, 2008
Here’s why I love batches. It motivates me to watch a series I probably wouldn’t have otherwise.
2:55 pm on November 17th, 2008
Will there be a avi verison of this?
12:43 am on November 18th, 2008
Holy hell, first four eps were somethin’ else.
Yet another reason why I love batch downloads.
Appreciate the hard work.
4:28 am on November 18th, 2008
Well….. there isn’t much of a difference, I’m only getting this because of the creditless OP and ED.
6:12 am on November 18th, 2008
Weeewwt~ :’3
I’ma try this series~ x’3
1:04 pm on November 19th, 2008
Way better than the TV encode – thanks for this!
6:43 pm on November 20th, 2008
Why am I not seeing the subtitles? This is a fansub yes? Using BSPlayer with K-Lite codec pack installed. Never a problem for any other fansub.
9:20 pm on November 20th, 2008
Cuz im in ur hdd eating ur subtitles.
9:39 am on November 22nd, 2008
BiGGuY: if you helped out on this sub it’s bound to be good (well, it’s m33w, so I don’t doubt that anyway). 😛 So are you a part of m33w now or freestyling here and there or something?
sickfuck: did you try installing the newer and recommended-for-anime CCCP codec pack? K-Lite may be getting a bit old for all those new formats (though what do I know? I never used K-Lite with anime in the short period that I used it.

is it possible to get more seeders on shigofumi? I am getting speeds of 40 KB on a 3MB connection, my share ratio is higher than my DL ratio and i am not even 20% done lol
5:52 am on November 26th, 2008
Btw Great job on the subs ^_____^
3:42 am on November 28th, 2008
