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.
Too bad that it’s over. I will really miss that series. =(

Has it really been that long already? This was such a fun series to watch, I’m glad you guys did this. You guys did a wonderful job. Thanks a lot Chihiro, you guys made it to my top 3 subbers list (in no specific order mind) :D. WAII!!!
Is there going to be a batch file…just curious
oh and you guys did a fantastic job of doing this show
man the subs won’t work for me >.> probably cuz i just downloaded the new VLC so maybe thats y =( any1 know any other media players that can play mkv?
You guys did an exelent job of translating TLR, im sure most of us will miss it 🙁
VLC won’t play the subtitles….anyone know how to fix this?
:*( My weekly routine is ruined if there isn’t any new TLR to get…
Thanks so much for such a great job on the series. Was a fan since a few eps in never missed a date.
Congrats on finishing the series and looking forward to other series ya’ll work on.
To the users who are having problems with playing mkv, try googling Media Player Classic.
Thx a lot Chihiro, I loved this show. Also World Dest is gonna finish next week so I hope you’ll give us some new shows of this upcoming season that makes us laugh and cry from joy as the ones you have been subbing since your birth.
i used BS. Player and that worked =)
hi guys! just wanted to say a huge thank you for making my past 6 months with this series! i used to desperately wait for Ayako to sub the episodes, but then they kept stalling for like forever so then i found out you guys released it every week! thanks a lot! and keep it up! also, take a break for a while, you guys deserve it! \m/
Thank you chihiro for everything To-love Ru was an awesome series. i’m truly sad to see that this series is over.
Thank you so much Chihiro for translating this series!!! :D. God, my Friday’s are gonna feel so meaningless and empty now. I’d always come back from school, looking forward to a new TLR ep every thursday or friday……but now that will be no more :(. oh well, looking forward to other series you guys at Chihiro will do, keep up the good work and thx again for this very entertaining series
Thank you so much for subbing this anime and To-love Ru was an awesome series it is a shame that it is over.
Congratz, Kristen! A great ending to a great anime. Thank you and your team for a fantastic job subbing it (among many other animes).
Late to the party, (again) but thanks very much for subbing this series! It’s been *very* entertaining 🙂
otsukareta sama deshita
(thanks for your hrad work..) was that translated correctly?
Chihiro Banzai!!
Wow…it couldnt be more obvious that the end of this episode was a setup for season 2. They might of well just put “See you in season 2” at end of episode <_<
rena: they usually wait to see if the show was popular enough to warrant a 2nd season with the locals (aka japanese ppl) tho seki proved that t be a tad wrong lol the manga story goes much further in any case lol
o and good job to the crew 🙂
to the people having trouble viewing this – download Media Player Classic and Vista Codec Pack (note vista codec pack doesnt mean it will only work on vista it’s just a name), install Vista Codec Pack and view the episodes via Media Player Classic. And then there will be no probs 🙂
TLR Banzai 🙂 T^T Ave Chihiro 😉
Yayze! You subbed ToLoveRu all the wai thru!
Wah! T_T It’s over! Hopin’ on a season 2!
;_; You STILL…never did a Kareoke for this show! (tho you DID say you weren’t…who ever
beleives a fansub group? ) 🙂
@beefstew and others…I can’t beleive nobody suggested this…
FOR PLAYING MKV FILES…listen up. Google CCCP. Follow the instructions (when
all else phails, right?) and then PLAY using Media Player Classic. Works liek a charm…
I couldn’t play mkv files UNTIL I did this – and lemme tella ya – the anime providing
your groups namesake was impossible to watch correctly until I did so.
Ennywho…great job, thanks for finishing this goofy series…partway thru it a couple
times I almost wondered why I watched and then next ep it would pull a rabbit from
a hat and get all fresh and surprising once again…summoning ep 26 as I write this.
ARIGATOU GOSAIMASU!!!!!
~(P.S. And all for jiggly alien babes – what would the world be without them?)~
thnx very mucb ^ ^
I loved this show… I’m very very sad… but you guys are great, thanks for everything.
P.S. I hope they’ll make a second season, and I think it’s quite sure they’ll make one…
Congrats on finishing another series. Your work is truly appreciated. Thanks to all of you!
Thanks for all the hard work! Good luck with future anime and ill be glad to help seed O_o
Lol this show definitely defined CHIHIRO and its a bitter/sweet feeling that it ended. I’m happy that the ending was how it was and as others before me “2 Love-Ru” anyone? ^_^
Btw, I’m looking forward to Kono Aozora and hope that it will be finished before the Fall starts. Its been long overdue…
Looking forward to “Akasaka”, “Chaos;Head” and “ef” this fall as well! Btw will you guys speed sub any of this?
Finally, you guys think you can squeeze in the Lucky Star OVA before fall? Just a thought ^_^
Once again thanks for you work and this group has definitely been one of my staples in the anime scene.
Wow! Another serie finished. Not bad for a team that started a couple of months ago. You do realize that you have quite few series finished, very unusual for a group that still can be considered young. So congratulations for another job well done. And i hope you will be around for a couple of years.
No subs? Downloaded h.264 like i always go. The sub tack is checked. But no subs! 🙁
Sad news, just sad… (hope there’l be a second season…)
Mm, fixed it! Ignore my problem =p
Thanks to everyone over the past 26 weeks. This has been an excellent and fun series to watch so thank you for all your efforts. And a double congrats on your first completed series, I will look forward to future releases by yourselfs and all the best to everyone behind the scenes that made this possible!!
Thanks again!
since there is a lull in the subbing will you guys be doing the Lucky Star OAV?
Thanks alot for the episode, and even more for the past months of entertainment :).
thank you for the great job Chihiro, any news about TLR movie? and I also thing there is gonna be a SS, there is a picture on the official website with rito, lala, haruna etc wearing new school uniforms.
anywhere i can get episodes 1-20? all the torrents for those no longer exist o.O
also where is 25? =)
i hate torrent!
but i really love this series very mush
ITS OVER T.T
This episode is based very loosely on ch 48 of the manga. If you take out “the earth will be destroyed” and all the action scenes, you will get the original intent of the author.
I think the playback problem is partially due to the audio sample frequency of 32000. In my case, the other factors is my envy sound card and its sample rate setting. When I had this setting on auto, I had slow playback. Setting it to 44100 or 48000 solved this problem. Note: previous episodes were encoded with 48000.
Oh dang it. =( to love-ru is over. oh man I miss it already =(
uh… will there be a complete torrent of episodes? It’s really appreciated if there’s one
