After a couple of days of struggles, mistakes, non-mistakes, raw hunting, and encoding, we’re finished with episode one. This is done in full. OP is subbed, all signs are typeset, full edit pass, etc. And we’re intending to do that for all of EF.
For pre-releasing, it’s simply not happening anymore. If we do pre-release at all, it’ll be to maybe a blogger or a few friends we trust. If you have to ask if you are one of these people, the answer is no. Just stay patient, we’ll keep you informed as to how we are doing. Heck, this is still a 54 hour turnaround even with a couple of delays.
Also, big clap to our encoder (An anonymous one). Here’s a sample of how bad the transport stream was. You would think for a series are artsy as this one it would at least have good picture quality. But, he did a great job in dealing with it.
h.264: [Chihiro]_ef_-_a_tale_of_melodies_-_01_[h264][0843C3C8].mkv
XviD: [Chihiro]_ef_-_a_tale_of_melodies_-_01_[XviD][726AFC2F].avi
So, there were some mistakes made today. Pre-releasing was not a good idea, and I do not see us doing it again for EF. We’re starting from scratch with a new status post and forgetting about that last pre-release post. <.<
EF 01 Status:
Get Raw (TL – .ts)
Translate (TL – TLC)
Time
Edit
OP (Transliteration – Ktime – KFX)
Signs (TL – TS)
QC
Encode (Lossless – h264 – XviD)
Please welcome in new show number two for the fall, Kyou no Go no Ni. Maybe it’s just our nature to be attracted to lolis or something?
Funny thing about this project is that we decided like a month ago to do it. Then we dropped it to pick up Akane Iro. Then we switched Akane Iro’s TLer and ZKC’s TLer. Then we dropped Akane and switched the Akane TLer back to ZKC. And now the TLer originally on this project is doing it again. Ah well. XD
Release schedule will be a bit different than normal. On Sunday nights or Monday morning’s, we’re intending to release a pre-release, because raws for this show seem to be slow. This is a 704X400 pre-release. That means it is translated, timed, and edited, softsubbed onto the first decent raw available in h.264 format. Then we will spend 1-2 days doing an edit pass 2 on it, and maybe even a QC. At this point, it will be encoded onto the best raw available at 1280X720 or higher resolution into a 1280X720 h.264 or a 704X400 XviD. We’ll also fix issues you guys pick out such as mistimed lines and such. Basically, this is a DCIISS release type schedule. We will add a karaoke once the CD is released in Japan, or when we get CC’s of the OP.
To answer the questions about Kannagi, it was a possible series, but the archaic Japanese was a bit much. We may pick it up later if sub groups start stalling, but no guarantees.
h.264: This OP is AMAZING!
h.264 720p: Fixed and pretty
XviD: See you on Sunday

Last release of the day today. We have quite a few XviDs in our “To Do” column now, but they’ve kind of all been delayed because new shows take priority over old shows in a different format. Don’t worry, our big crunch is during the weekend, so they will get out.
Another day, another episode. 3 new episodes released today, and I’m intending to do 3 tomorrow as well. It may become 2 tomorrow, 1 on Monday, and then EF on Tuesday depending on circumstances, but I’d like to really do 3 more episodes tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we will probably announce our next two shows of the upcoming season. Keep in mind that we reserve the right to pick up shows mid-season if other groups are slowing down and we have staff willing to work on it.
By the way, this is the only girl in the series that’s moe so far. The others haven’t been so hot. XD
h.264: 4 episodes left
XviD: Yay!
I have to say, isn’t this like the perfect project for Chihiro? Ecchi, popular, and has multiple staff members wanting to work on it.
Originally, I wasn’t planning on doing this when some staff members brought it up about a month ago. We had nobody to translate it, and I thought we already had enough projects for the fall. But, we have recently added 2 new translators, and they both want to do it. So, we have a translator and a backup for this.
But, please do NOT expect this on any Thursday. The only thing worse than excessive fanservice is censored excessive fanservice, as a staff member said. We will only release panty shots, no exceptions.
We will release 720p h.264 and 396/400p XviD as per norm. We will also be adding karaoke in either next episode or the one after that. However, we will not stall for karaoke, no exceptions.
We have 4 releases planned for today, this is the second.
h.264: Ecchi~
XviD: From us
I am watching you… sitting at a computer watching encodes which are finally good on this show again… I am watching happy Penguin again!
Another week, another penguin, another set of lolis. Enjoy!
h.264: Je te regarde.
XviD: ETA: 173 years, 3 months, 22 days. AKA, never!
Adult Kaoru is really quite hot.
Seriously sorry about the troll before. Nobody in Chihiro was getting a laugh out of it, nor was that its purpose. What was its purpose? You really will never know.
To answer questions, yes, Kannagi and RV2 are POSSIBLE projects. We’re not going to sub them if they get oversubbed.
And seriously, nothing is going to destroy this group, so long as we have 1 translator willing to translate 1 show for us. We’re not going to break up over something as stupid as our FTP (Which had nothing of importance on it) getting leaked.
h.264: Here
XviD: Done
