Then there’s no point in getting this or episode 13.
=D
To those who watch this, please wait for some other group to the DVD episodes.
Isnt it Skip Beat BTW? O.o
Im sorry you guys are dropping it, thanks for subbing it this far, GJ! ^_^
can you still release .ASS subs without the video?
there will no be DVD’s in near future… licensed by some site… whitch is gonna be showing skip beat online
Thanks for subbing this great series. Sorry you’re dropping it. I do wish you’d hold off on officially dropping the show however, at least until seeing how CR does with their subs. But I guess licensed means licensed, and don’t want to get in legal trouble, regardless.
Thanks again for all your work on this great show!
omg thanks!
YAY!!!!!! Much Love Chihiro still #1! but I have to Finish my Ergo Proxy before I watch the skip beatness! ty though~
This episode will do until i will replace it with a sub from a real group.
Thanks…… are there any other groups picking this series up?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DONT DROP SKIP BEAT, U DAMN NEWBS T_T
atleast, make script for ep 14 and on, i can just encode it here 😀
i know that releasing a script is not illegal
thanks
not to get the hopes up, but is it really allowed to release a .ass file?
anyway really appreciate your effort, great anime
Sadly, this one was one of three series I really loved of this season.
Too bad, I really want to watch this series ><
can’t people shut up about “please continue” “please release a subtitle file” please do this, please do that…show got licenced, no matter the medium, it got licensed. If chihiro wants to stop subbing to support the release, more power to them, and ask tadashi how fun it was to get a second C&D for releasing the .ass file for soul eater…legality of fansubs in it’s entirety is going through some changes…stop whining.
i have only recently picked this series up for enjoyment and now something like this happens. i don’t blame chihiro-subs for dropping this, however, i doubt the possibility of making money through licensing this anime for online episode streaming. The world is undergoing recession again if many of you still don’t realize. A majority of people will go all out looking for fansubs, be it chihiro or not. And those “whining” like what ipsofacto mentions are practically evidence of what i’m explaining here… As for legality, some fansubs don’t care. I haven’t seen Dattebayo drop Bleach even after it was licensed more than a year ago. Nobody cares about the legality in the first place. Companies license them just to make products (like DVDs) to make extra cash. It’s not like everyone who are fans of Skip Beat! buys the DVDs. Only a fraction will do so. And these companies are just looking at those fraction of people buying the DVDs. If you really want to support this anime, it makes more sense to buy the manga rather than the DVDs as it keeps the mangaka going, which means that the series will last longer. Anyway, this is just my opinion on this matter. Good job, chihiro fansubs!
omg … CR is …… wad not avalible in certain regions … wow T.T
Pls continue subing ??
but thats fat hope
Well thats the biggest hurdle of CR new “revolution” it has now introduced region locking, I could understand this on DVD’s as there are various reasons to name one would be special exclusives, but for online anime? I’m at question big time considering the nature of the internet, I don’t see why they have to start region locking on the net? Can anyone reason that out for me? But yeah, thanks a lot for the great work I enjoyed following the series with your subs.
“i doubt the possibility of making money through licensing this anime for online episode streaming”
– I already paid for it and so did many others who actually feel they should support the creators of a decent series.
“Companies license them just to make products (like DVDs)”
– No one licensed this show. Original creators are selling it online therefore a great deal of money actually makes it back to them which they can use to make another great series. Too hard to comprehend? And there still won’t be any crappy cheap R1 DVDs unless an American distributor actually buys the license.
“It’s not like everyone who are fans of Skip Beat! buys the DVDs. Only a fraction will do so.”
– If someone doesn’t buy the show, why the hell should the creators or anyone else for that matter care for him? Stupid parasite.
“f you really want to support this anime, it makes more sense to buy the manga rather than the DVDs as it keeps the mangaka going, which means that the series will last longer.”
– I’m speechless. #&&#%#($%(#$(“#(“&
“omg … CR is …… wad not avalible in certain regions … wow T.T”
– Skip Beat! and other exclusive series WILL BE AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE except Japan. Series which are restricted to your country probably have a license holder there which doesn’t allow CR to stream it online. Not the case with Skip Beat.
“I’m at question big time considering the nature of the internet, I don’t see why they have to start region locking on the net?”
– Look at the answer above.
I still have hope there are people who see eye to eye with me on this matter. At this point I want to thank Chihiro for subbing Skip Beat this far. Without the popularity your sub created there probably wouldn’t be a chance for me to legally watch/obtain it in my country. Thanks o.ob
Thank you very much for this episode!
Subs are messed up a little in 18:43 but your work is still great!
Thank you again and I’m looking forward to the last episode! 🙂
Skye you didn’t have to be an ass about what people said, REALLY.
Yeah I am sad about the drop and I would have to agreen on the point that about a fraction of the populace will but the DVD and will search the internet top to bottom for the episodes for free but hey shit happens get over it’s done.Thanks much for the great subs Chihiro staff.
-Blue
What other fansubs are subbing Skip Beat? ;_; I’ve picked up this series 4 -5 days ago *sighs* and I don’t wanna let it go…
Yo, I have no problem with paying for anime, but some companies are fokin retarded. They license anime, make shitty dub and ask money for shit they didn’t even put lil effort in. CR is fine, its seems there will be HQ stream and subs, no dub, so I’m ok with it and already purchased membership. But I detest fags like Funimation and other useless companies that found easy way to earn money. And send C&D around cuz they “can”, even tho they haven’t acquired license for some shows.
Thx for ep anyway, if you would rly want to keep on realising this anime, ya could always sub it as anonymous and put it on torrent trackers and I doubt they would track you down, but seems its not the case here, so thx for subbing it up till now, ya did good job.
Regards.
Excuse, but are you really going to sub episode 13? It’s just that that episode is going to be aired in Japan on the 11th of January, due to the fact that the next week (4th of January) is going to be the new year break for Skip Beat. If that really is true, will this in fact be the last episode subbed by you guys?
looks like episode 13 will be the last I get to watch. CR may have licensed the show, but they are not the ones that showed me a sub effort worth paying for. Will stick with Chihiro. fare well skip beat.
You know what Blue, I agree with everything you say. But still, Skye, I had better leave you remaining speechless.
“CR may have licensed the show, but they are not the ones that showed me a sub effort worth paying for.”
– Firstly, you don’t need to pay. You’ll be able to watched it subbed for free 1 week after the broadcast in Japan. Although not in HD. And secondly, it will be subbed by hired translators which means professional subs.
Speaking of licensing and copyright and all that shit!:
http://thepiratebay.org/legal
Read the responses from TPB, if you haven’t already. You’ll laugh! Well, I did!
This might help you forget that Skip Beat will be dropped by Chi, for at least awhile.
thank you!
@Skye: If I can’t watch it for free in HD, I don’t care, now do I? And hired translators does indeen mean professional translations, but also means that they will, most likely, edit the translation to make it simpler to understand. That is a fact

“And secondly, it will be subbed by hired translators which means professional subs.”
Got a source for that bit of info, Skye? My understanding was that CR would be asking for translations from it’s subscribers and rewarding them not with pay but with CR download points or whatever. At any rate, I’ve not seen any site saying CR uses professionals and what subs they do provide seem to originate with fansubbers.
I’m not surprised Chi’s going to drop this series and I’m grateful for the work they’ve already done. Thanks guys.
@ oji, Even releasing a script… is in a sense illegal.. and we don’t want to see Chihiro in any troubles, do we?
@Sanguis,
“however, i doubt the possibility of making money through licensing this anime for online episode streaming” Crunchroll seems to have thought of this idea, and its seems to be working for them.. I am sure quite a few anime fans out there will buy the CR premium for the HD releases, and to show support to the publishers
“Nobody cares about the legality in the first place”, Tell this to Odex, who fined fans up to $5000 for downloading licensed anime, or to a few raw uploaders in japan that have got arrested for uploading. Long story short.. yes, people do care about legality, mainly those enforcing the laws >.>
“If you really want to support this anime, it makes more sense to buy the manga rather than the DVDs as it keeps the mangaka going”,
DVD sales create revenue for the publishers.. and as such, serves as a source of income for the animating studios.. Remember that the guys that release the manga, aren’t necessarily the people who publishes the anime.
I have been to CR and looked at the animes. They are poor quality subs, and when I tried to download a copy of one that may or maynot have been subbed by them, I was asked for a donation. I was not allowed to download without said donation, sounds like buying a copy of a fan sub.
Thanks for subing this that far ^^ But…. when XviD will be realese? xD
Silverthorn: yes you have to be a paying member of CR to download. That’s kind of the point, you know, generating revenue. 🙂
DVD sales are important since the overhead is high and profit margins are very slim for anime. Companies can only make profit by sales of DVDs as well as figures/posters/whatever collector type items. International distribution means extra overhead for translations, dubbing, import taxes and such. I don’t have a lot of money to spend, but I do try and buy anime I really like. Although, I was very disappointed with the subtitles for Lucky Star, they really sucked when compared to the fansubs. This is my concern with CR also. If they cheap out on the translations, there’s no way I’m gonna pay for that.
Ugh i wish they would not license anime…. I understand why they do it but its just damn annoying.
Hey guys, I was wondering what others think about this years anime.
Which anime do you think was the most interesting one how came out this year?

CR will be only providing the distribution,. The subtitling will be done by the Japanese producers. They are subtitling Skip Beat even now in english for the Taiwanese Okto TV, which airs it simultaneously with the Japan premiere.
Anyways, thanks for the great efforts with Skip Beat, Chihiro!
For your info, releasing ASS files is not illegal.
The fact you didn’t released copyrighted data, since the translation is totally done by someone who had the time for it.
Tadashi falling for the second C&D and even accepting, is stupid.
The orginal video data is not being released, you could see it like torrent files.
I enjoyed the show while it lasted and I thank Chihiro for the sub for the time it lasted. Also, will be sticking with you guys no matter what. 😉
Power2All’s got a point, an ass file is just a text file with numbers and text. It’s in no way altering the original anime video. It’s not like you guys would be the ones muxing it together. 😉

Ahhh, thanks Hadji, I was unaware of that. It makes me feel better at least that CR isn’t stealing fansubbers hard work to make money. At least for this series. 🙂
1 to go…….
sub error at the 18:30 – 18:50 pointsof the xvid. no subs for 10 secs then 3-4 lines bunched up.
funny all those point of view… being paid for translating doesn’t mean you’re a pro, and doesn’t mean you do a better job…
it’s just a money story, licensing, providing, …
it’s pretty kind to try to find excuses, but it’s just a matter of money, and that’s all.
they won’t provide you a better quality sub, they won’t provide your anime faster, they really don’t care about you, it’s just money.
it’s frustrating for us, sub leechers, when a serie is licensed, it’s not shameful to say it.
we all download lots of illegal things, and we don’t care, so having a speech about legality, it’s stupid.
a fansub even without license is illegal.
we all do like we don’t know, or like we don’t care.
but it’s illegal.
companies just tolerate it, cause japanese people who got the rights don’t care about foreigners market. but tolerate is not meaning it’s legal.
I get the point from chihiro, I worked for a sub team, the dilemma is easy, we don’t want trouble for something we did for free, even if it’s a little chance we got trouble. I’m not complaining, even if, like I said before, US licensing is really painful for us foreigners, cause it’s not our licensing, but we have to be casualities.
I just want to show you that, there’s no point about arguing together, everybody forget the main points.
Regarding the .ass I don’t know, maybe your laws are less drastic than mine, I wouldn’t mind if kind people would provide it to us leechers.
Regardless, thanks chihiro for subbing skip beat this far.
Chihiro,
Thank you for working hard supplying us with fansubs. I’m sorry you have to quit doing this series. Hope to see more work from you guys soon!
“For your info, releasing ASS files is not illegal.

– Translations fall into the category of derivative works. Parody/made-up translations are fine since they don’t convey any original meaning but obviously that ‘s not the case here. I’m no expert in US law but still; prove me wrong.
@nyan
I leech fansubs because I live in a shitty country where anime falls into the category of children’s cartoons and where anyone capable of purchasing a license doesn’t give a sh*t about it. I on the other hand want to give something to the industry in return and because I can’t get anything locally I have to order overseas which costs a ton of extra money. Those Japanese publishers that decided to stream anime online gave viewers such as myself a chance to legally enjoy their products. CR is just a middleman here – all it provides is a streaming service much like YouTube. Japanese publishers are in charge of translating and uploading the content.
People… people! Listen, this decision is pretty much final. We appreciate that you have been, and still are, watching our fansubs. I, personally, have already bought CR premium membership – simply because I want to support the company who is producing Skip Beat!. I don’t want to support CR and their poor quality but I want to support the company, who surely is getting some money for the deal with CR.
Some groups doesn’t care about license(batsu or Teki-> Shikabane Hime aka)^^…or you guys work with other groups together..
or just give us the script and we must learn with Aegisub(great) to make subtitles^^
Or is a bad joke about dropping?.
Crunchyroll is just another narutofan.com it’s not even a anime dvd releasing company in the usa they just are able to stream episodes on the internet with out getting sued i see no point in dropping it.
