Hi.

Rosario 12 is ready for encoding, but BiGGuY is on vacation. I think he’s supposed to be back on the 11th.

It looks like we’re dropping Hanasakeru. Curiously, xess and crew will keep doing it up until episode 15 and then drop it because CR will take about 8 weeks to start subbing. Please beg xess if you would like us to continue doing the show because I’m not involved with that project.

Seto 22 is at translation check with asagao. He gives us an ETA of August 9th, but those projections are usually very optimistic.

That’s all for now.

Ichigo69 Edit:  Because you people evidently can’t understand about Crunchyroll, I’ll duplicate the comment I made below:

BTW, people who are complaining about country restrictions…

There will be over 9000 Rip Groups that will be doing this when CR starts. You don’t have to worry about any restrictions. Just pick a rip group and download it. You don’t even have to worry about shitty CR encoding, b/c the rips will have far better quality encoding than CR.

In other words, people, it’s /not/ the end of the world. ^__^

    PLEASE, DON’T DROP IT! Please, please! I beg you from all of my heart! Guys, you our last hope to see this show, don’t do like dropping. Your subs are the best. I know how much it takes to make all the things, but still… DO NOT DROP IT! Xess, hear our request – please, continue doing this show. Love you and your work.

    Xess, I BEG YOU!!! Please! Don’t drop HanaSei!
    I love YOUR HanaSei. I don’t want to see “Lee-Leng”…

    Please don’t drop Hanasakeru, we can’t trust any other groups to do it to the same quality as m33w.

    10:50 am on August 7th, 2009

    Of course, this is biased, but don’t bother working on it m33w. You guys should use efforts for shows that need the subs. Most fans won’t even care in two months. If some of you are still in school, that means you’ll be back in school by then, and have less time to work on this show. Obviously the region restriction is annoying, but that applies to anything. It sucks that certain games don’t get released in the US and vice versa, or in Europe, but that’s just how things go.

    I’ve already written a lengthy email to Crunchyroll displaying my displeasure with the way they’ve handled the show, and I’m going to keep doing that until it gets better, but that’s another story, lol.

    Just my two cents, lol.

    please don’t drop HanaSei. if you do that then I have no place to see the show, because my region is restricted…and even if it wasn’t, i don’t like their subs

    so, please, PLEASE don’t drop HanaSei!!!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, PLEASE DON’T DROP HanaSei!!!
    This is the best series you got going now and it’s one of the best series so far this year, the animes from this summer are just plain crap so please don’t take away one of the animes that are still fun to watch..

    Full bow – begging …. please sub at least through ep 15. While I can think of no greater insult than to have this picked up by CrappyRoll (why couldn’t they choose another anime – any other anime??) — is it “kosher” to sub all the eps after CrappyRoll is done with the series? It would be nice to have real subs – and I am wiling to wait.


    >Full bow – begging …. please sub at least through ep 15.
    Um….

    See above:
    >>xess wants to keep doing it up until episode 15

    you guys might wanna learn how to read >_<

    1:21 pm on August 7th, 2009

    P.S. Of course the best case scenario would be if HanaSei was subbed as if CrappyRoll didn’t exist. I know on Skip Beat there were other sub groups besides CR’s (not that they were much better).

    me too is pleading, PLEASE DON’T DROP HANASEI!! ;___;
    i was about to cry when i read it was licensed and may be dropped… i’m begging, please keep subbing it! xess, you’re my only hope left.

    hey, i beg you not to drop hanasakeru because i really like to watch it, especially with your subs. there are really crappy subs out there (in general) and you isnt’ liek that, so please!

  13. silvermoon
    3:18 pm on August 7th, 2009

    xess, thanks for all your hard work concerning hanasakeru seishonen. i understand why you dropped it, but i beseech you to finish up to episode 15 since crunchyroll started at 16. again, thanks for all that you have done.

    Um….

    >>xess wants to keep doing it up until episode 15

    you guys might wanna learn how to read >_<

    5:20 pm on August 7th, 2009

    Xess, please continue Hana… At least up to 15. It was my favorite anime of the season. Of course, you do what you must, but I did my begging and groveling.

    By the way, thanks for all your hard work.

  15. silvermoon
    5:41 pm on August 7th, 2009

    lol. i know how to read. you posted that xess “wants” to continue up to episode 15 not that he/she “will continue.” from that post, it sounded like xess wasn’t sure yet and may be debating whether to do so. so i was hoping that xess would agree to continue to at least episode 15 if not further.

    if xess is committed to at least episode 15, then i am extremely happy with the decision. 🙂

    well, I thought it was pretty clear, but yeah… We’re going to be doing up to ep 15. Ep 15 will be the last.

    7:45 pm on August 7th, 2009

    Xess, we all appreciate your work. I understand m.3.3.w. needing to “distant itself” from the now licensed Hanasakeru, but we IMPLORE you to continue this work on Hanasakeru.

    Thank you for your work and we eagerly await the remaining episodes (12 through 15). Would be nice if you ignored CR and kept going, but I understand if you don’t 🙂

    Thanks Xess!!!!!!!!!!

    common please do this show till the end
    don’t drop it in the middle and leave the job undone even if CR is doing it…. which in my case it’s in vain because of licensing restrictions and main reason why i haven’t been on CR since can’t remember how many months…

  22. Nagi-kun
    9:19 pm on August 7th, 2009

    I beseech thee m.3.3.w to NEVER drop a project starting NOW and leave it to be finished by CR. Licensing out of the situation, CR is a low budget crappy subbing/streaming website little to no better than Youtube in their quality of work. I watched the rest of Skip Beat once you dropped it but I was lucky to have found a decent subber OTHER than CR that finished it. I REFUSE to watch any anime being done by CR so if you drop this delightful series and leave it to them, I cant say as I’ll want to enjoy your work a third time just so you can tear us to pieces with repeated incidents of this nature. This marks strike two for me already, sadly.

    Basically, I’m begging you…DO NOT DROP HANASEI. Dont let the show DIE like Skip Beat did by leaving in it bad hands. That’s all~ ^^

    Also, yeah, Seto’s not going to be done that soon, due to various things on my end. It’ll be done — when it’s done.

  26. yatsushiro
    11:02 pm on August 7th, 2009

    I respect your decision on dropping this show. I know it’s frustrating on my part because I’m looking forward to your subs. Seeing that Crunchy Roll won’t allow me to watch that show because it’s restricted from my country. I have no one else to turn to.

    Thanks for your continuous effort for providing us best quality subs. I might eventually buy the DVD if this show is worth my tastes.

    I’m looking forward to your future projects this coming Fall.

  27. BTW, people who are complaining about country restrictions…

    wth did cr have to take over this show??? there are so many other shows out there!

  29. CP
    2:39 am on August 8th, 2009

    It’s a true pity that you stop subbing it, as I enjoy your style; but, as you say, the rip groups will be all over it. Thanks for subbing it so far!

  30. Asm
    4:41 am on August 8th, 2009

    It certainly would be nice if you continued subbing it – Crunchyroll can go fuck themselves, I’d rather they didn’t exist at all.

  31. Sarukah
    8:17 am on August 8th, 2009

    I am also here to vote on the no-drop for Hanasakeru 🙁 You guys are one of the greatest quality sub groups (for any show, not just this one) and CR rips tend to suck greatly.

  32. I don’t mind if it takes a long time to get subbed, as long as it continues, I’ll wait for them. So please don’t drop it, as you guys really do a good job. Furthermore, there isn’t another group that does it, that’s why we are glad that you continued. If you had to drop it, it would be in the first few episodes, but please not like this.

  33. I figured this was going to happen regardless because enthusiasm seems down. At least with previous subs as a basis I’ll know what names they’re *supposed* to be saying and get episodes every week.

  34. TheyCallMeBrownie
    10:45 am on August 8th, 2009

    Out of interest,will you be subbing the Hatsukoi Limited specials?

  35. foozlesprite
    12:31 pm on August 8th, 2009

    I hate complaining about sub work because I know you guys put a lot of effort into this. But that’s just harsh, to get that much done and then drop it when nobody else is doing it *sigh* Pleeeeease?

  36. beefymint
    12:51 pm on August 8th, 2009

    lol, not including asa, ichigo, and my posts, it’s over 30 now. >.<

    I wonder how much more people will post. ;P

  37. micc
    3:11 pm on August 8th, 2009

    I’d love to see the next episodes…I was hopefully waiting for next releases for a lot of time, and BAM! licenced! BAM! restrictions to US&Canada. (i DON’T live there obviously)
    I’m so frustrated 🙁 I started to really get into this anime, I also looked for the manga (but couldn’t find it:/). You are my only hope…
    And CR’s subs are…dunno..I think you guys do a much more professional work then them ‘official’ subbers :/

    The more posts, the higher the chance to get it? 😉 that’s why I post! 😀 Pleeeease do HanaSei!! <3

    Hate to see you drop the show but if you gotta do it, that’s what gotta be done.

    I’m just yet another viewer hoping out a little shred of hope that the subbing will continue.

    Thanks for all your hard work up until now.

  41. Japfreak
    9:32 pm on August 8th, 2009

    Oh no!! Please don’t drop it… You guys are the only fansub group doing this and I hate to think of watching from CR. Not all regions can watch from CR from what I know… So it will be really bad if we have to rely on CR 🙁

    please refer to this post about CR region locking…

  42. I beg you too, I’m translating this series to Turkish by the help of your subs and your excellent timings. Xess-sama, my group respects you so much, you are doing a perfect job and remember that you don’t only translate to English, you also help it spreading to other countries. Please get it stalled but don’t drop. Because this series deserves to be subbed by the quality groups.

  43. Vanny
    7:07 am on August 9th, 2009

    Well fair enough if your going to drop it, but it wouldn’t make sense dropping it instantly, you should finish off all the way to 15. That way anime fans will stop whinning =] I know it takes alot but give it one big push =[ for us… your adoring fans!

    Vanessa x

    um, if you’ll read above, you’ll see that we /are/ planning on subbing until ep 15…

    U know, I do not watch this, but in behalf of all the other viewers, and considering I know your work. Do not drop it… CR have human shaped machines do their translations… do you want news anchors for characters??? Well I know I wouldn’t if I was watching your subs, wich I prolly will, so… don’t drop this damnit!

    PS: Of you guys simply don’t like the show you should just drop it though. I mean, it’s no good if it’s no fun. Abayo!

  54. This is my second comment in this update. I checked the CR subs and I puked at it, it isn’t even watchable… It doesn’t look even a little professional. Translations are almost wrong.

  55. Naoko-san
    1:27 pm on August 10th, 2009

    GAH!! No, don’t… Don’t even think about dropping it!! CR has never had good subs since they started releasing them themselves… It’s wrong to let us have to stand that! It’s… Disgusting~!
    On another note, the Earl and Fairy torrents aren’t working at all… -is sad, need that anime-

  60. wonder
    2:35 pm on August 11th, 2009

    So does that mean that 15 is going to be the last episode that you guy subs, even though the begging and voting (if the voting is high enough) for you not to drop?

    If it still count then this is, yes, another begging for you guy not to drop Hanasakeru Seishounen.

    But if you guy going to drop it anyway after ep 15, then I guess it not worth begging for you guy to continue after all.

    Yeah, it will be a huge disappointment but…it’s your decision……

  61. deanaxe
    5:22 am on August 13th, 2009

    Hey guys PLEASE dont drop this project.
    you started it so you have to finish it.
    Isn’t it how it should be??

    Yeah may be we’ll manage to watch it somehow, but people want your subs not anothers. The enjoy will never be the same again. We are like a FAMILY here everyweek people with hopes “if you released this new episode” visit your site, hang around. It is like a habit. A great one..

    I believe you didn’t make this site just to translate the animes. Because it has lots of work and it sucks to work like hell. But i believe you made this site for people around the world gather around something all like and create a community. Aren’t you happy after you released an episode people go crazy to thank you?? Isn’t it one of reason you make this site?? Are you going to disappoint everyone that support you??

    If you say they are here only to take the episode then I’m sorry but you lost some of your feelings as a humanbeing. Sure first they (including me) come just for the episode but …anyway i believe you do understand what i was going to say.

    So I’m saying please stop the bleeding in this community and take action. Just don’t drop it for everyones sake. Of course it is your decision but please consider the feelings of your supporters. Take care…

    Excluding the guys who are begging you to do up to episode 15….even though you stated that you will IN THE FREAKING POST, there are 39 comments with “I beg you, don’t drop it”. Some are simple one sentence posts, others are overly dramatic like deazxe’s (seriously dude…it’s anime, not the freaking Red Cross)

    As for myslef, drop it, I don’t care. And even if I did care, it shouldn’t matter because:
    a) it’s 101% your decision, since you are doing all the work
    b) over 9000 groups (actually about 3) will rip the CR subs
    c) ????
    d) profit

    BTW, can we expect more Earl & Fairy DVD?

    Peace out, and thanks for all your work.
