So, yeah, we’re a bit late on things… Like, a lot. And we’re making some adjustments, but some things need to happen.
I’m going to make a general status report after links.
h.264: Amu
XviD: chan!
Status of everything:
Green Light means the project is moving great. Blue light means the project is stalled until something happens. Red light means I do not see this being able to move unless we get another translator or translation help.
Green Light
Shugo Chara Dokki Doki – On time
Asura Cryin – Awaiting a QC
Railgun – Made a few changes for the immediate future that’ll keep this going
K-On BD – Yes, we are actually working on this, and are almost done
Hayate BD – Still moving at a fairly regular speed
Haruhi DVD – We’re going to release endless eight all at once when it’s done
Shana BD – Next episode I believe is in February
Zettai Karen Children v2 – 14-26 on Saturday. I promise! (I never said which Saturday. >.>)
Princess Lover DVD – Got a new TSer to re-do the signs we lost.
Hatsukoi Limited Blu-Ray – Got the BDMV.
Gendai Mahou BD – Got an encoder, project’s running again
Blue Light
Sasameki Koto – We need foxnewsnetwork to reappear for this to move on.
Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season TV – Same as Sasameki
Asu no Yoichi DVD – Last priority Hayate.
Kyou no Go no Ni v2 – Need Southrop to actually have some free time again.
Rosario to Vampire Capu2 DVD – Low priority after Asura SD.
To Love Ru OVA 4 – Translator Offered
Red Light
Akikan OVA – Need a translator
Kyou no Go no Ni OVA??? – Need a translator
Dropped
Gendai Mahou XviD – Encoder disappeared, he had already deleted his losslesses anyway, and I just do not care enough about this series to get somebody to encode a XviD when we put out a SD resolution AND are planning BDs to begin with.
Amu chan Daisuki <3 <3 <3

あむちゃん だいすき <3 <3 <3
First Comment… NOT!
hell yezzir
that really give us a panoramic view of what’s going on in the fansub….
thanks for the news…
and the episodes…
farewell….
QQ i wish i could help ):
Any news on the remaining xvids of gendai mahou? thx 🙂
suiton? That you?
Good to see that K-on BD and Ef BD are on Green light 🙂 Im still waiting for those 😀
Any news about last DVD episodes of Rosario to Vampire Capu2?..
The pangs of taking too many shows.
Thank you for the update you guys had been abit quiet about some of these nice to see they still in progress.
Keep up the good work.
I don’t understand that ef has such a low priority on your list.
After all it’s your show of existence. And it’s a show that really needs HD, since the broadcasts were shit.
Wooot ZKC xD. im looking forward to that 😉 thanks
ZKC? Can’t wait……also, mamiko subs released TLR OVA 4, so why do you need a TLC?
@zen: Not all subs released have accurate translations. Mamiko is decent, but it would be better to have your own TLC to check to make sure translations are accurate if you want to do your own release.
I know discussions of format preferences get heated, especially with people demanding xvid encodes.
I don’t particularly care whether it’s xvid or h264 or vc1. I don’t if the container is avi or mkv or mp4 or ogm. I don’t care if the audio is mp3 or aac or vorbis. I don’t care if the res is HD or SD.
However, I would like to cast a vote for file size. My preference, regardless resolution, would be around the 170mb range per episode, if possible.
Now, I can hear the people wondering why file size matters when 1tb hard disks and 10mb/s internet connections are the norm these days. But my fellow archivers will know that you can store about 26 episodes (a normal season or two half seasons) on one dvdr disc when the individual files are about 170mb a piece.
I don’t expect Kristen to change her mind on Gendai Mahou, but for continuing and future series, please consider issuing episodes in the 170mb files size range in addition to any other formats.
Thank you,
Here is exactly why you should not do 175 MB encodes for 720p files:
http://ikalifa.com/fansub/gundam-00-hd/
Look at Shinsen’s 167MB travesty. Then look at all the other groups’.
@Soichiro: I agree. Higher resolution definitely benefits from a larger file size. 720p should be expected to be in the 230mb to 300mb range.
On the other end I would hope that 480p or 400p should fit in 170mb using h264, no?
Yes, unless it’s an unusually high-action series (maybe Gundam 00, for example), in which case I would use 233mb at 480p as an absolute maximum.
thx for the update on xvids of yoku wakaru, can u release a batch of yoku wakaru now u dropped the xvids? thx 🙂
i’m glad K-On BD still life.
my waiting list Chihiro asura, railgun, k-on bd, haruhi dvd, princess dvd, yoichi dvd, rosario 2 dvd, to love ru ova 4 & akikan ova.
hope k-on bd & rosario 2 dvd released soon.
Thanks CHihiro!!
Just asking, Where’s ZKC? You promised.. xD
Since this is a sort of dual-purpose thread, I’d like to ask if any of the Endless 8 eps have been encoded, and if so, what’s the filesize look like? I’m trying to decide if the DVD version is more space-economical than the TV, and if I should start downloading ep 1 before all the seeders disappear.
I’d be willing to TL the Kyou no Go no Ni OVA.
Break’s coming up after all – I should have time to do it.
