Hello, m.3.3.w fan-people, asagao here. Looks like I lied (see this post from a couple weeks ago). Lying is bad, and I realise this, but I hope you’ll forgive me, since, in addition to possibly one other show that we haven’t decided upon yet, we’ll be working on Kimi ni Todoke season 2 (*canned applause and cheering*) for this coming winter season. Seems a lot of people are fairly excited for it, and we (excepting joint projects) haven’t really done what I would consider a “headlining” show since ~Chaos;Head, so I figured we were due, pulled some strings behind the scenes, and here you are. For those wondering about apparent inconsistencies in our philosophy, even though Frostii almost certainly will do a bang-up job, no one wants to wait until 2012, ’cause, like, the world’s going to end before they’re done (we still love you, Frostii <3). Do you want your subs before or after Third Impact?

People seem to have a misconception that we’re a slow subbing group, and I really don’t know where you’d get that from, but rest assured that you’ll see episodes from us on a timely basis. And we’re serious about this. (“orly? yes, rly”) By ‘timely basis,’ we mean about ‘H2O’ or ‘True Tears’ (before it was licensed) speed. Seriously. (Do you guys even remember those shows? If not, re/watch them, they’re good.)

Of note this time around is the fact that we’re borrowing a typesetter, damee, from our friends at Enigma Collective. We do not expect a decrease in quality or speed due to this, so sit down.

Also, I’ve been talking to Korokun about improving the user experience of this site, and after a few nights of heated–

tl;dr – we’re bringing back screencaps for each episode.

That’s about all, folks. We just thought we’d announce now, so all the turd-sub groups (to put it mildly) that pretend like they’re fast, quality subs can just go home. Spread the word.

    I was never worried about Kimi ni Todoke. Somehow I had a feeling some great group will pick it up.

    These days, fansubs outweigh the shows and fans are spoilt for choice.

    Wonderful~ Looking forward.

    Thanks for choosing Kimi ni Todoke as one of your projects!

    Really hope that m.3.3.w fansubs can be like the “old times” where quality and speed are both great 🙂

    *wondering what’s another project*

    Great news, Kimi Ni Todoke \M/

    Replace “slow” with “quarity” and it’s no longer a misconception.

    “People seem to have a misconception that we’re a slow subbing group, and I really don’t know where you’d get that from, but rest assured that you’ll see episodes from us on a timely basis”

    episode TWELVE (final) of MM! is already while you only have episode NINE posted…. is that still considered “slow” subbing?

    Come typeset it all then you can talk

    Awesome news by the way is MM! dropped or delayed due to technical issues?

    Delayed due to editor and typesetter being very busy. Holidays can be like that 🙂 — asagao

    Not slow, more like about normal for non-speed subs. People are just extremely spoiled because of the fake speed of all those rip groups.

    Also, I can say I cheered loudly when I read the Kimi ni Todoke 2 announcement. I’m not worried, considering nothing can be as slow as Frostii’s brand of slow (and I say that with most respect, I love them for their quality but god they are so slow at times).

    Gee, I don’t know where the thought of y’all being slow would ever come from……MM!9?(hm)

    I do remember back in the day when your releases were right on cue and hope y’all can again achieve such an aspiring rate.

    BUT WHY SPEED SUB SUCH A SLOW SHOW AS KnT2? THE SPRING LINE UP LOOKS TO HAVE MANY FINE SHOWS, AND I AM SURE MOST OF THEM WONT PROGRESS AT A SNAILS PACE(ie: KnT).

    As usual the lineup for the next season looks god awful. Dont know if you have noticed yet but we do alot of romance and KnT is personally one of our favorites (For most of the group).

    The Spring season isn’t coming until April. As for Winter season, I see a lot of fail and a few decent shows.

    Thank you so much! Kimi ni Todoke!

  19. You can pretty much blame everything at Frostii that is slow on one of their editors. desolo. He’s a cunt and slows everything down.

    Please do not get me wrong, I am not complaining. When it comes to quality you guys are top notch. I could always dl horrible or crunchy rips and deal with massive skips and freezes or chose to wait for something that plays(as long as its no bigger than 480p)
    I do wish someone would put out more “un-official AVI’s for I have yet to master the MKV settings and its still frustrating when a good show comes out and I cant get it to play for crap.

    Please keep up the good work that I and many others have grown to expect from M33w. I look forward to all your releases
