Hello all,

here’s Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu R2J DVDs, Episodes 01-04. (EP 03-04 are new, the others are re-uploaded. There’s no difference in the files, so if you already have them no need to re-download, some people had problems with the old torrent, so I re-uploaded to my tracker.
It uses Ordered Chapters so keep the files in one folder to be able to see the OP/ED.

For more INFO: Click ME
Newer versions of mplayer should also support ordered chapters, VLC doesn’t, blame the programmers for not implementing real playback (like Full MKV support and .ass support).

When running windows try: MPC-HC in combination with Haali Splitter. Everything should work fine.

Grtz,
BiGGuY

Here is the final episode of Nogizaka Haruka 12, along with the batch torrents. We decided to go back to Anirena for the batches because Box Torrents was too much of a hassle.

And now on to the next season stuff…

Looks like Mango got you guys good. Let me go through the real plans.

The following are confirmed shows

• Telepathy Shoujo Ran

Continuation from this season. No explanation necessary.

• Rosario + Vampire Capu2

This will be a continuation of our joint project with Ayako from the first season. So far I’ve heard very shitty reviews about the first episode, but I guess that was to be expected.

• Chaos;Head [ Link ]

This will be the first real departure from our normal genre of shows. You guys know that we mostly do daily life romance shows, but this one will be pretty different. You guys are just better off reading the Wikipedia page.

List of possible projects

• ToraDora!

This will depend on if another group is doing it. Hopefully they will let us know in a few days. m.3.3.w is very strongly opposed to oversubbing anime shows, because it’s a waste of our time and it doesn’t help leechers. As long as there is a group that we think can do a great job on it, we will let them do it.

• Hakushaku to Yousei

We’re thinking about this one. We’re gonna have to see the first episode though.

• Kannagi

This will be another “watch the first episode and see” decision.

• Yozakura Quartet

Same as the others.

• Kyou no Go no Ni (newly updated)
  

Last resort, etc…

Definitely not doing next season

• Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka

Another group that we respect is doing this show, so we feel that it is in good hands.

• Clannad After Story

Eclipse is doing this, so no need for us to do it.

• ef: a tale of melodies

Mango was just trolling Kristen (leader of Chihiro). Normally I would have green lighted this show, but Menclave did a great job on season 1, so I will expect them to do the same on season 2.

• To Aru Majutsu no Index

Same as Akane Iro.

• Junjou Romantica 2

Obviously we’re not doing this. Go to aarinfantasy if you want this.

• Skip Beat!

One of our staff members is doing this with another group, so we are not doing it out of respect. This looks like it’s gonna be Special A version 2, so I don’t want to do it anyway.

• Vampire Knight Guilty
  

lol no

• Nodame Cantabile: Paris-hen

Plenty of other groups from season 1 plan to do season 2. We don’t like jumping on a series if we don’t do the first season.

• Hyakko

Another respected group is doing it.

• Any other shows not listed above

Conclusion
Ran
Chaos;Head
Rosario Capu2

We will probably pick up one more show from the “maybe” list. We’ll have to wait and see. This is by no means a final list. The shows you see in the “maybe” list are just shows that looked interesting to the staff. We could end up adding one that isn’t on there. So feel free to recommend stuff that you don’t see on the list anywhere. We will add them accordingly.

Nothing much to report about this one. It’s basically all fan service, as you can tell from the screenshots. There is one minor TL note that we would like to mention, but did not include in the episode for various reasons.

Fräulein

It’s basically a German title for young and unmarried ladies. The Wiki says that it isn’t used any more though. We hate TL notes and try to avoid them as much as possible, and especially when it’s for non-Japanese words. Our reasoning is that a normal Japanese viewer probably wouldn’t know what Fräulein is, so at least you have the benefit of seeing the subtitle and being able to Wikipedia it later.

Here is Nogizaka 09. Thanks for all of the feedback on Special AIDS. We might sing another song in the future. Not too many references in this one. The preview is a Onegai Sensei reference.

We usually don’t do multi-releases but all three of them just happened to finish at the same time.

Nogizaka:
Again, not many references this episode:

• Pentagon & Mossad
• The whole preview thing was a reference to Legend of the Galactic Heroes ( UC, RC, etc.)

Negima:
Long story short, Akatmatsu Ken love~ Also, this took way longer than expected due to a desire in good video quality, we re-encoded this like 10+/- times (crashes, fixes, etc.). This isn’t done by our normal encoder, but rather an anonymous friend. Props to him.

Love Selection:

I lied, Nogizaka 07 is out first. SA 20 will be out soon hopefully. Nogizaka 07 was really funny this week. Enjoy!

There really aren’t much references this episode:

• Male Shana and a fusion of different famous Mecha’s. OTL

• There’s a Mamiko Noto poster on Yuuto’s wall.

• Last line “Attacking your heart, directly!” is from Narue no Sekai

That’s about it -v-

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.

-Mango

Thanks to this episode, I was able to get back to my college sleep cycle (going to sleep at 5am, yes that’s a good thing). Like I said in the previous update, we switched to a transport stream source and the picture quality is much better now. We had to increase the file size for the h264 version to 200MB in order to accommodate the bitrate needed to encode it. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem since this will be a 13 episode series (I think). Anyway, please enjoy episode 05.

As for Itazura 18, we hammered out the script tonight thanks to the help of our medical expert, ilikefood. I’m hoping we can get it QC’ed and encoded by tomorrow evening, but no promises.

Oh and one more thing. We switched over to Nyaatorrents tracker since people were having problems with Anirena. Let us know if you have any problems with Nyaatorrents.

Incestmango wanted me to mention that Natsucomi in Episode 4 should have been Summer Comiket.

Thanks for the feedback on the torrent trackers. We’ll go with multi-tracking next time.
