So, this has to be the hardest collective episode Chihiro has ever done. It was easier to translate than To Love Ru 23, but it was much harder in terms of timing and editing and typesetting. In addition, there was a new ED.

Some specifics:

1. Before you say it, any time there is a kanji on the screen, the bottom is what the kanji reads, the top is what the little things next to the kanji make it read. The first reads the same in both cases

2. The scene before the ED was timed/retimed 5 times, trying to make it look the best. This was the most popular of the choices we had, so it was used.

3. This was hard to emotionally do. This episode is sad.

Update: This episode is freaking HARD. I’m expecting over 500 lines to time tomorrow, and probably some alpha timing to add to effects/quality for one scene. No ETA until I have an actual script

Update 2: Script is done. The one scene in question is 2 minutes 41 seconds long, and will contain at least 100 lines of script. For comparative purposes, the entire script of DCIISS 13 had 210 lines and covered 22 minutes. I am devoting 3 hours tomorrow to timing this scene, so please bear with us.

Update 3: Working on the scene of death

Update 4: All timing is finished. I think we’re aiming for 10 PM on Thursday EST for release.

Update 5: All non-script steps are finished. We probably can release at about 4 PM or so tomorrow assuming nothing goes wrong.

Update 6: All ready, waiting on our encoder to get home.
