It’s baaaaaack~
1. We are using ordered chapters again for this series. The sizes will be variable, however, based off of crf18, unlike S1.
2. There are going to be a few changes from S1, such as a bit more padding for the subs and a few minor script changes. Mostly you shouldn’t notice.
3. As with S1, we are going to do karaoke for all songs. Episode 1 was softsubbed \kf however because it’s not a song, it’s a school anthem.
4. We will be doing a 1080p version because this aired in native 1080p. There will be no XviD. This is a comparison of 1080p vs. 1080p->720p->1080p. Anything in white are details lost from downscaling.
5. Mio is still mine. I didn’t defect to Azusa like most Mio shippers.
6. This, according to BDs, is a 27 episode long series.
7. We fucked up. Hence why there’s a v2. They can be downloaded below.
1080p – Mio
720p – is
480p – mine.
DDLs – OK
Azusa’s tongue!
Well I see now that VLC is not the player of choice for some people, according to a few of you it can’t handle ordered chapters. In that case…..
Any recommendations?
Disregard my previous ignorant statement(s) I was a fool and didn’t think to check the playback help page. My sincerest of apologies for my blatant noobness.
Thanks again Chihiro!!
@Ouse: http://www.cccp-project.net/ is most commonly recommended for Windows users, installing pretty much everything you need to watch anime and the ilk properly. It’s a good first step; if you need special features like DXVA, there are guides for that 😀
owh,
azu-nya……
she’ll be alone after the other four graduate 🙁
sad…..
I’ve got a little problem stretching to 16:9, the 1440×1080 ones
I’m using K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 5.8.3
I use Windows Media Player 12 to play.
I play the 1440×1080, it wont auto stretch to 16:9 and still remain 4:3 at start,
unless i drag the timeline go forward abit, then it stretches to 16:9,
however it changed back to 4:3 again at 17:00 then i need to drag timeline forward again to fix it.
it changes to 4:3 at time 0:00 and 17:00.
seems like it’s a little problem on WMP to play anamporhic encoded video.
(not video problem, just my WMplayer problem, I wonder if there’s a way to fix it)
If I play it with Media Player Classic, it’s all good,
I think I need to use MPC to watch K-on S2 from now on 😛
It’s great 1080, very nice quality and really close to BDrip quality at 300-400MB file size.. 😀
Chihiro has done very well 😀
Why you spilt OP & ED out from Ep.1 ?
I don’t understand, but your sub is great.
@Brigette
those OP and ED are linked into all episodes, they took out OP ED to have smaller file sizes for each episode.
you need to enable “Try to open linked files” in your Haali Media Splitter
Episode 1, you will see OP and ED, but actually it plays the OP and ED files at the right time when you are playing episode 1 (or upcoming episodes)
I love Mio to death, but as you watch the series, Yui really is the definition of kawaii! I claim her!
@Squall
Yeah, WMP has some issue with anamorphic playback. I think MPC is generally considered superior anyways.
@Brigette
It’s something called ordered chapters.
We split the OP/ED out so that they don’t need to be included in every episode. It makes the files for every episode smaller while still allowing the whole episode to be viewed. Check out the FAQ page if you have issues with it.
WOOT! ED and OP CDs come out later this month!
Anyone know why the initials HTT keep appearing during this episode? What am I missing here?
HTT – Houkago Tea Time
love the karaoke sub for the intro. It fits the really fast and messy intro really well lol. Don’t think any other sub is spending so much effort on OP and ED for this show xD
“wman Says
HTT – Houkago Tea Time”
Thanks for clearing that up wman, althought I’m not sure why they use HTT instead of the kanji for keionbu.
Keionbu is the club. Houkago Tea Time is the band name. Conceivably, if the club had more members, it could include multiple bands. Don’t forget that the girls have also started performing outside of the school.
DAMN YES!!! Mio is back!!! 😛
Why not put the lyrics of the OP and ED in sub channels?
Can you at least upload raw versions of the OP and ED in 1080p? Please?

Wow I’m frustrated. I’m not calling you out though, personally I think that its those that aren’t motivated to change.
I’ve bookmarked, Dugg, and I joined the RSS subscription. Thanks! .
