    sunshine_fuu, are you maybe commenting on the wrong site? I don’t know how many other tabs you might have had open, but on this site there’s definitely no Blood-C, and on this page, I don’t find anyone called Cameron either. ^^

  • Fanofde4ever

    She’s referring to me, DarkSpace. Been a while Chels. I know you have my number. Kristen is a little more forceful with the staff than I ever was on AF, so I don’t see everybody just stopping anytime soon. My name is only on this post cause I was the only one updating it for a while. Really it should have S0uten’s name up there now, cause usually by the time I get around to messing with it he’s already updated it. My main duty here is timing the subs to the spoken lines. I’m not in charge.

  • sunshine_fuu

    Lawl you know I’m kidding, AF was not your fault and you know it. You had lethargic staff who were there for chatting and not for updating, me included. And I didn’t figure you were in charge 😀 I just saw your name and troll mode activated. Like a Trollborg. <3

  • IMNC

    So, any plans for Spring?

  • BD

    Thanks so much for doing Ano Natsu, and for doing it right. The translation of the other groups ranges from fair to terrible. Yours is uniformly good. Taking longer to do it right is MUCH appreciated. Keep up the good work!!

  • zeronine

    where is Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi OVA? i dont wanna DL from another group. (consistency issues lol)

    and nice releases btw. keep it high! 😀

  • Nemeis

    Any news on when you will going to release Amagami SS+ as the last update say episode 5 and 6 is done. But nothing is out at all..

  • Fanofde4ever

    @Nemeis (I assume that was suppose to be Nemesis) – Blame the constantly disappearing/slacking TLs. One disappears weeks at a time, and the other is always around, but never gets anything done. All back logged episodes will be released as soon as we’re caught up. That means everything will be released when 08 is done, unless 08 is stalled till 09 airs. If it’s not done before 9 airs then everything will be released when 09 is done, and so on.

  • konton

    what fan meant to say nemesis was that one has a life and has quit TLing for this season due to uncontrollable circumstances and that the other is always around, but never gets anything done lol

    Actually you disappeared for well over a week around the time episode 7 aired, so what I said stands. And FYI June 14th is more than just this season.

  • Kuzu

    @ Fanofde4ever:

    Does that include me?

    Since you’re not doing a currently airing show Blaze is the only one keeping you to a schedule. That is unless you want to take over Amagami. I don’t see it happening, but Kristen would be thrilled if you did.

    No, sankyuu.

  • paul

    can someone seed k-on!! bluray 1080 ep1 torrent with the op/ed

  • DarkSlayer

    Hi Chihiro, thank you so much for releasing memo-chou’s bdrip !

    I want to know, why do you guys choose creditless op ed to use for ordered chapter release (memo-chou for example)? Because I think creditless op ed isn;t always good. Sometimes it feels plain IMO. I think it is better if you just put both the creditless and credited op ed in your releases ^^

    And my request is, could you put the credited momochou op ed in your next momochou bdrip release? or at least maybe in the batch release (if you’re releasing the batch). For me, memochou’s credited op ed is very good, especially with the J.C Staff logo and such.

    In my current internet connection, it took about 2 weeks to more than one month to download the bdmv, and also, my current PC specification is no good for encoding 🙁

    Sorry for the long post. Please consider my request!

    Thanks guys! ^^

  • Rokudaime

    @DarkSlayer

    You are probably among 1 in a 1000 who prefer the OP’s and ED’s WITH credits rather than without, so I wouldn’t expect Chihiro to accomodate you on this one…

  • DarkSlayer

    @Rokudaime i wongt give up though 😛 I’ll just wait until one of their member give the answer 😀

    anyway, why actually do you guys prefer creditless over credited OP ED? I think including the creditless one as bonus/extra is a good thing (as like in the official bd/dvd release), but using them as the main op ed is just.. too plain..

    You’re… odd. Yeah I’ll just leave it at that. Why would you want the animation obscured by text (regardless of language)? Though I do approve of your email address. -Fan

  • Nonafel

    What ever happened to my Zettai Karen Children batches?

  • DarkSlayer

    @Fan, so in the end you guys won’t do it? I’m so sad T T

    IMO basically, the credits is the one that really distincts the opening & ending with the main part of the show/ movies itself, not only in anime. Moreover, without the text, the op ed looks just like a scene from the episode itself. And when you watch the episode, it feels like suddenly there is same random scene playing after the intro, and another random scene playing before the preview, which i found annoying.

    It’s not a big deal when i watched the first episode, but in the next episodes, it feels annoying. And it’s not really that bad for shows which has different op eds for every episodes. (Sorry i’m not really good at playing with words).

    Good enough Memo-chou still has the ‘Kamisama no Memochou’ logo in the op. There are some animes (e.g Rideback) which doesn’t leave a single word on the creditless op and ed. But it is totally a different story though when you play only the op / ed individually without watching the episode, even I do it a lot ^^.

    Just expressing my thoughts hehe

  • Rokudaime

    @DarkSlayer

    You have a really strange way of viewing things….

  • guibin

    Will you guys do the Kimi no Iru Machi OVA? Seems like that series is right up your alley

  • anonymouswanderer

    yep, and my foots right up yours ^^(just sayin’)

  • Rokudaime

    @anonymouswanderer
    Lol, random comment much?

  • anonymouswanderer

    you mad? ;p

  • Rokudaime

    Why would I be mad? Your comment wasn’t even directed at me. I just find it strange.

  • LeipuriHiiva

    When are we going to see the new banners?

  • mascthemoney

    don’t know if this is already answered but are u guys doing the hayate movie?

    If you’re not even gonna read the post you’re commenting on I’m not gonna bother to answer your question.

  • grey mage

    after seeing how many retarded people didn’t read the original post and imagining how many more people are raging that don’t come to this site, i just want to say thank you guys and girls for the hard work you put in making this hobby still enjoyable. while i kind of wish the subbing scene was at the state it was between 2003 and 2007, you guys are really one of the best current teams i’ve seen in a while. real life may get in the way or worse… you lose interest [the horror!], but please continue to soldier on knowing that there are people who will continue to watch your releases and share them with their friends and so on. also, please don’t pull a dattebayo and bailing out on us.

  • lionheart101

    Do you have any updates regarding Kami-sama Dolls blu-ray?

  • confused otaku

  • ronelm2000

  • anon

    Hyouka, Hyouka, Hyouka

  • biribiri

    did I miss the release or are the first 2 k-on!! extra episodes (25+26) still missing a colorful-ray?

  • Smile Precure 13 and 14 where? You guys are the best for that show, don’t let us down!

  • confused otaku

    i heard rumor that there is an exam for most of the fansub groups. So that’s probably why they’re late on precure

  • confused otaku

    ooh, UNAnnOUNCED SERIES?? I hope for AKB0048!!!!!

    It’s not. Was my last response not clear?

  • DmonHiro

    Still doing Smile Precure?

    Yes. The TL has been busy with real life, and lack of internet, so we’re exploring our options to catch up till he gets back.

  • poto

    So Ano natsu and Haganai are not active, or did you just forget to put them on the list of active projects?

    Anyway, thanks for your work guys and girls!

  • Sakato Kosuke

    To Chihiro group:”I really love your works ’cause your sources and subs are good as hell but can you upload your anime normally without cutting the op and ed? I mean like upload another link for those people like me. If you can then I really appreciate it”.

    We separate the OPs and EDs to save bandwidth (for us and you). Doing it both ways would at least double the time it takes to encode along with defeating the purpose of using ordered chapters. It’s not like we do it for every series anyway.

  • Sakato Kosuke

    I got the meaning of your action and i did try to follow but the software for both Mac and PC didn’t work at all(for me anyway). For those series i wanted, they’re all cut version so i had to go and download those SD of HDTV version, so bad.

    What programs are you trying? CCCP with MPC plays ordered chapters fine for PC.

  • Sakato Kosuke

    I tried both and they all said Error something

    • DarkSpace

      Please at least provide the full error message. One can’t even begin to guess what your error might be unless you provide sufficient information… so far, my guess is that you either have other programs (such as codecs) installed that conflict with your installation of these programs or that you didn’t install your software correctly… probably the latter.
      Also, please be aware that installing CCCP is one of the easiest ways to get a playback environment that, while not exactly providing the best possible quality, works for most cases, so if you get problems with that, please run CCCP Insurgent first and remove any programs that show up before installing CCCP.

      Oh, and just to be clear, MPC didn’t refer to the original Media Player Classic but to MPC-HC, of course, so if you’re using Media Player Classic, try using Media Player Classic – Home Cinema first!

  • Rokudaime

    Putting the OP and ED’s in seperate files is terrible anyway though. I don’t understand why to this day you guys insist on doing so when there are almost no other groups that do it. I like Chihiro otherwise, and you’ve done alot of cool shows through the years, but cutting out parts of the video and sticking them in seperate files just to save space and bandwith is retarded. If I accidentally delete the Op and ED files, then I won’t be able to watch the OP and ED in any of the episodes, as opposed to just one, if I accidentally deleted an episode in a release that did not have the OP and ED’s in seperate files. In the past I used to follow you guys alot, and for some reason I still visit the site every day, but at some point I switched over mostly to Doki instead, because they do alot of shows you do, only better (the overall level of your translations seem to have dropped compared to before for some reason), and I won’t have to deal with seperated OP’s and ED’s. Not trying to ignite hate here, so apologies if I come off as rude. I’m a direct and frank kind of guy.

    • DarkSpace

      So, if you accidentally delete the OP [A], you can’t watch it any more. But it’s the same when you accidentally delete Episode 01 [B], so I fail to see your point… in case [A], you have to re-download the OP file, and in case [B], you have to re-download one whole episode (which probably is much larger than the OP-only file).
      Also, by now, software has (mostly; LAV Splitter, for example, hasn’t yet implemented Ordered Chapters support) adapted to the point that even VLC Player is capable of loading external files into the virtual timeline generated by Ordered Chapters. As a bonus, they provide a convenient way to play only the OP / ED of an anime to people such as myself, without having to create an Ordered Chapters file just to load the OP / ED from one file (that maybe doesn’t even have an I-frame at the start of the OP) and getting the SUID of the target episode.
      The only “bad” thing about Ordered Chapters I see there is that, if you decide to remux the files for whatever reason, you usually have to either modify the chapter files to match the SUIDs of the remuxed files or you need to keep the relevant SUIDs when remuxing (which shouldn’t be too hard when you already know how to remux files). As for myself, I always keep the SUIDs when remuxing, even when dealing with non-OC files.

  • Pzc

    @Rokudaime
    If you accidentally delete episode 1 you won’t be able to watch episode 1 again either, you know. If the problem with linked chapters is that you may remove op/ed’s by accident then you’ve got bigger problems to worry about.

    Linked chapters is great. Why have the exact same sequence of video in 13 episodes (for example) when you can have it in only one with the exact same effect ? Having butterfingers is no excuse to let us others suffer. It’s a shame not everyone is using ordered chapters.

  • grv

    how would you even “accidentally” delete the OP/ED file. if you delete the OP/ED file the only thing you cant watch is the OP/ED. you can still watch the rest of the episode.

  • Fanofde4ever

    Oh the silly arguments we end up in.

    @Rokudaime – Also Doki’s TL being superior to ours is laughable. If you understand Japanese so well why are you watching subs? And if you really don’t then how are you judging TLs? A good editor can make anything flow smoothly. Doesn’t necessarily make the TL right.

  • Hito

    @Fanofde4ever

    That is exactly how I feel about people judging translations when they don’t even understand the language, just because it looks good in English doesn’t mean that is what they are saying or that it means it was translated correctly.

  • Rokudaime

    @Fanofde4ever

    Oh ålease, don’t give me that. Your releases consistently get poorer feedbacks and ratings than Doki’s. Everyone knows their translations are better. They have several translators though, and some of them are not good. I remember 8thsin butchered their release in a review once. Their best translators though are better than yours. Don’t get butthurt for hearing the truth.

  • DmonHiro

    @Rokudaune: You are an idiot. You are basing the fact that Doki’s TL is better on feedback from people THAT DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE. Thus, you are a stupid sheep. If you don’t understand Japanese, you have no business rating translations. Why is it so hard to think before you type?

  • Rokudaime

    *Oh please* Excuse that typo. Anyway:
    @DmonHiro
    Oh really? And who said that I was refering to ratings and reviews from the regular hord who don’t speak Japanese? That’s just an assumption on your part. Don’t let your feelings get the better of you and rage, I am not trying to troll, I am trying to have a serious discussion. There are plenty of skilled TL’s and Japanese speaking people out there who review and give comments about fansubs, 8thsin being one of them. And I’m not stupidly loyal to ANY fansub groups, Doki included. I archive the shows I like, and so I look for the best releases, whoever they may be.

    @Pzc
    It was just an example. I don’t have a habit of accidentally deleting the OP’s and ED’s myself, and I don’t have butterfingers.

    @DarkSpace
    Not all players support ordered chapters very well you know. I use MPC-Home Cinema with CCCP myself, so I can play anything just fine, but that doesn’t mean everybody can. Also, being an obsessive archiver, to me, an episode is not complete without the OP and ED, so if I DID somehow lose the OP or ED file, and the torrent for the show was an old one that was no longer seeded, it would mean that (to me) the whole show was ruined, and not just 1 episode, which would be the case if the OP’s and ED’s were in each episode, like normal. Anyway, I was just saying, I just don’t like the idea of taking out parts of the content, and putting them in seperate files.

    @All:
    Anyway, I see I should have just been quiet and not said anything, because I’ve clearly just made you all pissed and offended, which was not really my intention. I suppose I went a bit too far with the “butthurt” part, and have myself to blame for DmonHiro calling me an idiot, so I apologize. Really I was just trying to give critical feeback and have a discussion, not start a quarrel. I guess I’ll play it safe and only give positive feedback from now on, if it concerns Chihiro as a group, and not just individual people.

  • Rokudaime

    For the record, I have downloaded several shows from you in the past and been very happy with them, such as Railgun and Sasameki Koto. I don’t have anything personal against you.

  • Switches

    As for Doki, the quality of their releases are up and down. It really depends.

    Oh, and if any of the staff members are reading this, Precure 20 won’t be airing this Sunday (Father’s Day), so I’ll quickly finish as much work as possible… if it’s even possible for me due to my terrible, terrible, extremely terrible time concept. Either way, I’ll try my best even though I’m not to be trusted when it comes to due dates (for the time being).
    PS. Start uploading the remaining CCs if possible?
