Penguin Musume Heart – 13 Status

Well, it’s been 5 days, so I’m making a status thread to let you know what’s going on.

The Chinese group we were using to translate PMH, KTXP, has seemingly stopped releasing Penguin Musume. Maybe it is a harder episode or they’re stuck on the English at the start or something, but either way, they’re extremely late. As in, they used to release about 6 hours after air time for episodes 1-11, and now it’s been 4.5 days for this episode.

For J->E, it’s extremely hard to do a Penguin Musume episode. They speak slurrily, and fast, so it becomes extremely hard to hear the dialogue. Beyond that, our J->E department is already stuffed with projects, so we wouldn’t be able to add it on any time soon.

So, we have a few options right now. First is, if you’re a J->E TLer of ANY level (So long as you do the episode, we can TLC it), please contact me. By any, I mean JLPT 4, 3, 2, or 1. If a J->E TLer does not come to me, the second option is to continue to wait for Chinese subs, but I don’t know if the Chinese group just dropped it or if they’re just behind by a lot. The third, if a J->E TLer doesn’t apply and Chinese never release, is to drop the series, and we REALLY don’t want to take this option.

Anyways, I’d write out a full status thread, but our status is stuck at translating and will be until one of the forementioned things happen.
