This is a big post, so I’m scared to see the amount of comments.
First, Mio is my favorite. If not for anything else, for her ED. ^.^
Second, this release uses ordered chapters. This means that we encoded the OP and ED once, and now we will never have to again. In future episodes, put the episode in the same folder that the OP and ED is in and USE CCCP. It’ll play the episode just like normal, and you’ll only have to download 100 MB! 100 MB gave a P-quant 16.3, so it’s not constraining bitrate either. Quality looks just fine.
Second and a half, as usual, we will sub the widescreen version. If there are minor errors, please paste them in the release threads so we can note them and correct them between versions.
Third, we are going to drop Queen’s Blade. Simply, the show is bad, and it’s not worth the time to sub it.
Also, Asura on Tuesday or Wednesday. IT WILL NEVER BE RELEASED BEFORE D-SUN AIRS IT!
Enjoy your moe!

XviD: Jimi Hendrix makes an appearance in three weeks in WS version!
Uhh, I’m using a mac and I can’t seem to get the ordered chapters to work. I put the episode 1 and ED1 and OP1 (all in the torrent) in the same folder. Then I went to the CCCP page and installed MPlayer OSX Extended like it suggested, and it played straight through the episode without the OP and ED.
I only gave my windows partition 30 GB of HD space and my mac partition can use the externals so I have around a TB on that side. Could someone help me out? I don’t feel like switching to windows for just this show, nor do I have the room for it.
All of the 3 files are installed in the same folder, but in that folder there are also other files, would that make any difference ? It’s the usual download folder I just dump all of the stuff.
Aside from that, I’ve done everything you said, but no difference.
If you got problem with getting the OP/ED to work.
Here is a simple way to fix it: Go to Start, Programs, Combined Community Codec Pack . filters and then open Haali Media Splitter Settings
In the window that opens, go to options, input and then change the value for Try to open linked files to yes . That solved the problem for me.
@ReleasedNinja
Yeah thats what I had to do to get it to work also.
I prefer the Zoom Player that came with CCCP when I downloaded it, instead of Media Player Classic. But after doing that they both work the same and play the op and ed where they are suppose to be. So either work fine, Media Player Classic makes me feel like I am running Windows 98 but its all up to everyone and what they like using lol.
Mio got me watching this series and when I saw the ending song. BOOM! Iam hooked! Thank you very for the subs!
The whole time I was watching, every time I heard Yui, I was thinking “where’ve I heard that voice before, that sounds so familiar”. I finally went and looked it up… same voice actress that plays Suu on Shugo Chara. Definitely not a voice you expect from someone that age. 🙂 She’s a perfect fit for Suu though. Her voice does lend itself well to the “airhead” persona within Yui though. I definitely have to agree on liking Mio the best.
@Brett: VLC supposedly handles ordered chapters, but when I tried it on 0.9.9, it kept playing the opening segment before the OP over and over again in a loop. Oops, guess it’s still buggy. (VLC generally has sucked for everything else, only tried it for this to see if the ordered chapters worked since they say it does on their site).
Windows people who can’t handle ordered chapters: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=66444 (or read basically the same comments further up here on this page)
Linux/OSX mplayer … yeah still not working yet for all releases … hopefully soon.
You need to find a patched release to handle them … try looking through the above animesuki thread around page 5 … or get/wait for the Xvid 🙂
But that’s mean…
Smart move with Queen’s Blade. It’s terrible. As for K-On, I’ve gotta disagree. I <3 TSUMUGI!!! But Mio’s my number two. Then again, Tsumigi’s outfit in the ED isn’t the best looking. Mio’s got that one. *mind change* CRAP! Oh well. You guys picked a winner with K-On, Kristen! This one’s gonna get you recognized! Keep it going, yo!
*doesn’t use CCCP*
The KMPlayer will be the only player I will have (except for Real Media files…). Thus, I would like that you release the main video alone so I won’t have to download the OP & ED each time.
Mio’s gonna my fav. *looks again @ the ED* Just damn… both the song and vid are awesome.
YAY!
Been wanting to see this 🙂
Yay it works. Thanks Releaseninja ^^.
No problem xD
@Lenmaer:
You’re obviously too stupid to be watching fansubs, do us a favour and never use the comment form again. It’s not like we’re cutting the OP/ED out – we’re just doing this so people don’t have to download it all over again, that would be a waste of bandwidth and space. I think everybody who’s too stupid to put two files in the same directory as the episode should be drowned in a river.
Will there be a HD-tv release on this series? The small resolusion makes my eyes sad. ='(
Anyone know what other group is going to do Queen’s Blade?
@Mofassa: Because of the recession, we can not afford to subtitle anime in anything other then SD. It is sad, but prices have forced us to take a step back if we are to survive……..
Actually, the WS HD doesn’t air for like 3 weeks, so we’re stuck with SD FS until then.
DmonHiro: Ah, too bad. Well, doesn’t change the fact that i love your work. =)
Maybe it’s just my setup, but I am running Windows 7 build 7057, CCCP and using MPC, and I can not get the subtitles to show up at all 🙁
Will try it on may laptop later though since that is WinXP. I did not feel like playing around with it this morning at 3AM.
@Sirby
For W7, codecs aren’t that much optimized for now. So, you are better with a player that does NOT need codec (like, I suggest, The KMPlayer). Also, avoid VLC.
P.S I’m still watching the ED.
Why does everyone bitch about what they don’t like? If you don’t like how Chihiro runs the show, go elsewhere. Nobody cares about your negative opinions.
… The ordered chapters release format is an utter disrespect to those staff whose names will appear in the later episodes…… ~>_<~
@oscar: We don’t care. Really, we don’t. No, seriously, we don’t. Not in the slightest. As in, not at all. I mean, we really don’t. You see, we don’t care.
Is anyone also worried about K-ON’s animation? Because It seems that most anime with a band performing on it clearly has bad animation going.
Example: on some guitarrists you can clearly hear the accord changing yet the guitarrists hands never move.
The OP showed great animation in that area, however, in certain parts when Mio is playing her bass, she doesn’t seem to move her hand even though you can see she moved around the scale. I’m worried that things like this might ruin the magic of this anime for me.
WOW, combining Kawaii Anime with Rock music. What a great combination! Thanks for subbing this Chihiro!
People not liking ordered chapters and because of that chosing another fansub, people not liking the animation, people not liking the way hands move in an anime when playing an instrument.
All the abobe points turn out to be moronic in some way. I don’t see the problem with ordered chapters, you only have to double click the file that says episode one and you will see the episode without problems. I’ve downloaded the cccp pack and worked as it should have. But if you want to change the fansub you will follow do it, no one is stopping you.
People not liking the animation; well there are lots of other shows you can enjoy that have more realistic animation. Personally I think the story Its what matter but it’s only my opinion.
And the ones searching to every little mistake the production make while drawing the hand’s movement on the guitar, lets just say this is an ANIME it’s not real life. If you want to complain there are famous movies where big stars actors move theirs hands in pathetic ways when pretending to play an instrument. Lets stop pretending to look out for something perfect.
The story it’s interesting so far. The animation works fine and show what it should and for the details if you are a musician or want to learn to play the song from the opening or ending, man you are going to be disappointed very frequently in life.
That’s all.
The cat was here,
and left the building.
Another more thing if you are looking for something more realistic go watch the news they are pretty realistic.

and left the building.
@DmonHiro: Heh, were you trying to convince me or yourself 😉 ?
I kinda want to try and hack Rock Band to have Mio, Yui, Ritsu, and Tsumugi in it.
I just saw this huge rant coalguys did about your subs for the trailer. Apparently where a character says “We’ll join the club” is not correct, and that was enough to set them off. Who cares, it still makes sense. I’m glad I don’t usually follow their group. Keep up the good work guys.
Has anyone figured out how to make this work on a Mac?
I have tried Quicktime with Perian (skips OP and ED), Mplayer OSX Extended (Skips OP and ED) and VLC (endless loop of Prologue).
Thank you Lebon14. I’ll look into KMPlayer, if that fails, I guess I’ll just watch it on my laptop or get Ubuntu on here again. MPlayer on Ubuntu worked fine with a bit of tweaking, but with my new ATI, I should be fine and not experiance the small glitches. Thanks again. Hopefully in May, with the RC of W7 will bring up some optimized codecs. I always avoid VLC unless I am on my MAC.
Also, I have no problem with the chapters. It is quite convenient as a matter of fact. I appreciate it.
Thanks Chihiro.
OMFG THIS SHOW ROKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! TY SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MIO FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MIO + ED SONG = SEXY/HAWT!!
@Oscar
2/10. People who watch this download fansubs. They can’t read the fucking Japanese credits. Nobody’s going to give a fuck if the voice actor of a character who shows up for 3 seconds in one episode gets left out of the credits, because people who watch fansubs can’t read kanji! Hell, I’m semi-fluent in Japanese and I still can’t read kanji names worth shit. Only a native’s going to be able to read the credits, and even if they can read them, they probably won’t care enough to read them. If people want to find out who worked on it they can fucking go to ANN and look it up. They have all the voice actors and production staff listed there.
“” Will there be a HD-tv release on this series? The small resolusion makes my eyes sad. =’( “”
Isnt blu-ray getting pretty popular in japan? I wouldnt be very suprised if we would see blu-ray relase of these series. However I doubt there are many fansub groups doing “HD-TV” relases for their works as these would take some serious space from the server (1gb per episode? more?)
if you mean those 1280×720 with hefty compression mkv and mp4 files then theyll probably arrive sooner or later. But they are not real HD-TV relases but good enough for most.
watched today a “720p” mp4 300mb video today with my ps3 and it played and looked quite nice on my 32″ hd-tv. But the colors where pretty awfull from the compression. “jpg:ish” squares where very noticeable. Overall the video looked good but not even near HD 😛
gotta hunt for more of these “hd” mp4:s tough
was wondering if the OP ED dl is applicable to the xvid release or its exclusive only for the mkv version?
also, will you guys release a v2 of the xvid? 3:24 was a minor problem there. but anyways, im grateful for this release.
Just wondering if the WS will be ordered as well?
@Soichiro
Thank you for reading the previous posts. Levels of understanding and comprehension vary across individuals when it comes to languages and linguistics. Some of Chihiro’s viewers may nevertheless appreciate being able to watch each episode in full. There is, of course, the concern of respect, as well.
I appreciate the efforts to reduce filesize, but I noticed some very obvious artifacting. I’m not sure if it’s the raw or from the compression, but I hope the HD version will not have such blemishes. I can’t find the exact spots but there were some darkened blocks shifting around in someone’s uniform once in the bottom right and once somewhere else. It wasn’t one of those picky things, either, it was really obvious.
Have to say, this show is terrible. Pretty disappointed.
exAlpha is re-encodeing your realese of this episode to like around 85-90 MB 640×480 xvid and it is on nyaatorrents even though you allready have an xvid out and stuff, unless you alleready knew this Kristen
K-ON! is kinda funny. I kinda liked the first episode. 🙂 Anyways, about QB, I’m getting it from some other fansuber, and I also liked it.
thanks for this one… I really don’t get what’s the meaning of “ordered chapters” but I guess i’ll try researching for it then.. sorry to bother. . and Thanks again for subbing Zettai Karen Children and K-On!
K-ON! is like Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight except that this one is on musical side or something.. 😀 fun to watch. 😀
Didn’t watch this yet, but I enjoyed Minami-Ke Okaeri for what it was, but for those having trouble with ordered episodes, just do what ReleasedNinja sugested (like 10-20 replies above me), and go to the Haali Media Splitter settings, and change the setting to “Yes” in “Try to open linked files.” I’m not even using CCCP, just using Vista Codec Package with WMP, and it works well for me.
that is realy good anime !!! Im waiting for episode 2 with subs ^_^

That’s severe short-sightedness on your behalf. Dual-boots should always use equal partition space on both sides. you failed
For those who can’t get it through their thick skulls how to watch the show when ordered chapters don’t work:
1. DOUBLE CLICK THE OP FILE.
2. WATCH IT.
3. DOUBLE CLICK THE MAIN EP.
4. WATCH IT.
5. DOUBLE CLICK THE ED FILE.
6. WATCH IT.
7. SEED.
8. DL NEXT EP FROM CHIHIRO WHEN IT COMES OUT.
10. REPEAT.
11. STOP BITCHING.
Thanks Chihiro! ;P
Thanks for the OP and ED songs 🙂
trying the widescreen ones, I’m having trouble getting the ‘ordered chapters’ to work (perhaps the fact that I didn’t know about it when I downloaded the widescreen of episode 1 didn’t help, I just stuck the op and ed in the folder where I keep a lot of other anime openings).
Great – I should definitely pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related info ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it at all. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, website theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Nice task..
