Normally, a release means a lot of excitement and celebration. It means people are happy, and everything is going well. But, to me, this release really is not a happy one. It’s sad. To Love Ru is over. We started subbing it when Chihiro was only 13 days old, and we’ve never missed a week. I think the latest we ever were in a release was Monday, because of a complete staff change.
To Love Ru has gone through a style change, a staff change, a capper arrest, a trip to China, Real life issues of changing locations, a few transport streams that worked, a few transport streams that failed, multiple encoders, a widescreen and fullscreen release, and even a v2 or two. And it’s been on our to do chart for 145 days out of the 158 days of our existence. It defined Chihiro, and it’s the only thing left linking us to the beginning.
Well, out with the old and in with the new. Clannad begins airing next week, and I fully and truly support Sprocket Hole Subs with their effort to translate it. Chihiro will not pick Clannad up, do not ask for it. There are multiple reasons why, and I will not go into them.
I’d like to thank a couple of people for making this project possible. First is Kylaran, who rescued this project from the depths of hell once Jaka left. It may not have been the easiest show to translate, but he was smiling all the way through it. Second is Mauneydy-kun, who is still pushing through the releases, even if the encodes are beginning to frustrate him. Third is to the various people who came through for jobs like editing and timing, and to those who helped us out when a regular had to leave for a week. And lastly, I’d like to thank all of you for your continual support and guidance through this show.
Kylaran: So, I wanted to be able to post on the last ep of this series. TLR 14 was the first episode of anime I ever translated as a completely solo project (as in, it wasn’t something I just TLC’d), and it was quite fun. I’m glad that Kristen forcefully commandeered me into working on this series, which ended up being extremely stupid, but also somewhat enjoyable. Thanks to all those who’ve enjoyed following our releases. And even bigger thanks to the staff that made this all work out. Enjoy!
Now, we’ll just shut up and give you the releases:
h.264: Haruna-chan~
XviD: For those who prefer 33 MB compressed to 175 MB uncompressed audio.
chihiro, you did a great job with this series. can’t thank you enough and can’t wait for the WS versions of the last few episodes!!!
[EDITED to remove spoiler] overall a great anime if you exclude the episodes where they weren’t that exciting! thanks chihro!!!!
btw, will there be any batches for the XViD version?
Hi chihiro
thank you for subbing and not dropping To Love Ru.
Haruna was my favorite character :heart:
Thanks! For all the wonderful episodes 😀
I too can’t wait for the WS version – I didn’t download “normal” version becouse I could watch it in WS version, so I will wait for it 🙂
Coul you say when it (last few eps) will be released?
Oi! Luke-chan – could you liek, mark your spoilers a bit?
Ennywho…
Just watched this – between ToLoveRu ending – the way the ep went AND…
Paul Newman passing today (yeah, I know, NO COMPARISON!)
A bittersweet sunday.
Ima miss this series – from what people keep writing about there being so much moar
manga, there’s definitely enuf material to keep it going. Of course, they probably veered
so far away from the original manga…
Not for nothing, and I would be remiss if I left this lil comment off.
Hmmm…
Rito Yuki-kun is a healthy young man, athletic and all that…
For all his attachment to Haruna-chan…
If a smexy bit of moe-blob alien kept accidently waking up in MAH bed naked…
Much plukage would ensue. 🙂 🙂 🙂
~(but then again – when does reality EVAH play a part in anime???)~
😉
~(p.s. the dream sequence solution? Oh yeah…works for me!)~
@Chihiro
VLC does not play the subtitle because at the Aegisub track the line
“Style: Default,Arial,20,…..” appears. After demuxing, simply removing this unused style definition, and remuxing (23.98 fps ??) the subtitles works absolute perfect within VLC.
@others
P.S. nothing aganst MPC. Only i don’t like so called ‘codec Packs’ who installs a mass of codecs system wide into a stable system.
Thank you for all for your excellent work in TLR. I just wish there was a second season
Dude, guys, 26 episodes in and you’re getting names wrong? Haruna’s friend is Risa (alternately some say Lisa, though I don’t know why), not Misa.
Is it so much to ask that you make sure your translators KNOW THE CHARACTERS’ NAMES?
It was an accident on my part. Yes, her name is Risa, but it’s not like we’ve gotten it wrong everytime she appeared in the series. One-time mistake. Thanks for your, er, understanding.
Someone call her Lisa because, I think, it’s her real name, in japanese there isn’t “L” so they use a R, like Lala = Rara
Thanks so much for this subbing this!!! you guys are really awesome!!!
Will there be batches for the To-Love-Ru Widescreen version you guys have up in your DD section?
I’ve got all the non-WS h.264 version but would love to get them all in WS without having to download each episode seperately.
WTB a h264 batch!
Saw on Ayako’s IRC channel yesterday that they dropped it, idiots. >_<
Thanks a lot for subbing this series. Much appreciated!
Thanks for this series.
I noticed there are WS and full screen releases, but only the full screen one is actually complete.
Do you plan on releasing the remaining chapters in WS? (23 to 26)
Thanks !
Yeah! I finally saw the last episode, and it reamins funny until the end! Goog job Chihiro for subbing this series. Here’s hoping for a second season!
Also, I agree with Hoshi: I would like to request WS version of the last few episodes. Hopefully they will come out soon!
Yeah, hopefully a WS is still going to be released. I haven’t downloaded the non-WS version yet because I’m waiting for the WS version. Anyways, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for this series.
Are you guys planning to release the rest of the WS-h.264 episodes in DD (20-26)?
When u all gonna release WS version for ep.23~26? I have been waiting for ages. I don’t want to download the normal size, it feels weird when change screen size after getting used to WS…… Hopefully release it A.S.A.P.
Thanks.
I hope you didn’t drop the WS version. Keep up the good work!
holy crap… the last two episodes were breath taking. hell… I want a second season 😀 Another roller-coaster ride. The best anime I’ve watched yet (I’m picky with animes)
==SPOILER ALERT==
So what happened to Lala’s Dad after she used that wipe memory invention of hers? I mean, everyone remembered.
Will there be a 2nd season of this anime?
