As you can probably see, we have added in a new donation button to the chihiro webpage. Let me explain to you what’s been happening, such as why we switched to .net for a while, and why that’s at $0.
About two weeks ago, Chihiro and Animetake decided to not be associated with each other anymore. But, it wasn’t exactly a clean split, and we lost control over a few things.
As such, we’ve tried to decrease our reliance on outside groups for internal affairs. All Chihiro related matters (Website, IRC, PR, etc) are now solely in our hands, and I am certainly feeling a lot more secure about this whole matter at this point in time.
We re-added the donation button to fund a private server for us. We are looking at a 100 MBps line (Unless someone wants to be REALLY generous and fund us for a 1 GBps line. O.o) to mux/release on, as well as provide a bot and a FTP (You won’t use this, the staff will). If you want to know the advantages of this, well, basically…
As we are now: Encoder encodes, waits for the script, may go AFK when script is ready, muxes script in, seeds at 60 kb/s or uploads to a server we do not own, bots add. Usually takes 1-2 hours for the first person to get the script, and maybe even longer if not everyone is on when needed.
With a server: Encoder encodes, uploads to a server immediately, anyone muxes in the final script, bot adds immediately, torrent goes at 1 MB/s or better. Takes 10 minutes for somebody to get the file.
So, we have a server goal of $100. If you donate anything above 30 cents, we really appreciate it! Anything below 30 cents is lost in fees and processing.
Amazing… I can’t write blog posts in firefox on this computer. The picture upload fails on firefox. O.o
Anyways… I believe this is the earliest we’ve ever released TLR since the capper arrests. That’s pretty cool.
Fanservice Episode, just like all the episodes. That’s why I love this show. Completely pointless, but incredibly fun to do. ^_^. Now we wait until tomorrow to do Penguin Musume (PLEASE air this week, penguin, I beg you!) And then we sit pretty working on the wide screens of… yeah, I blurted that out again, didn’t I.
Just a little plug. Sorry about the slow distro speed for this. It’s just faster for us to release it on a cable connection and seed like that than to upload to a bot. If you want to, if you could give us a server that can mux an h.264 and also create torrents, and are happy with telling me how to do it, we’ll get much better distro speeds, and everyone is happy! 🙂
h.264: It’s here!
XviD: SEX
By downloading this episode, you enter into a contract with Chihiro. You are obligated at this point to hug Mauneydy-kun, be it in action, thought, or IRC speak. 🙂
ANYWAYS, looks like we’re going backwards, so expect episode 1 out tomorrow, 0 out on Sunday, and -1 out on Monday. XP
Also, if you drive that stupid coke truck that I was stuck behind who was doing 15 mph in the acceleration lane on Route 80 E this morning, please come on here. I have a couple of words for you…
To Love Ru will be out as soon as a timer comes on and times it. AKA, it could be anything from an hour from now to 10 hours from now, but I’m guessing 2 is a better guess.
h.264: HUG MAUNEYDY-KUN
XviD: ALL EMO KIDS NEED HUGS!
2 episodes in 1 day? Are we mad? Yes, we really are.
This is episode THREE. Basically, episode 2 had some REALLY bad organizational issues (AKA, Chihiro was disorganized from numerous events in the past 2 weeks), to the point where fixing those organizational issues is taking longer than releasing an episode with good organization. Ah well. We’ll get 2 out soon enough.
Then, once we get two out, then maybe I can go back to the widescreens releases of… wait. Nevermind.
XviD first since our encoder messed up his first lossless, so releasing h.264 first lost any advantages of speed.
WE DID NOT RE-RELEASE ZNT! THAT IS A TROLL!
XviD: BIG BOOBIES!
h.264: HUG MAUNEYDY-KUN!
NOTE: WE DID NOT RE-RELEASE ZNT AS “KRISTEN”. THAT IS A TROLL.
We’re done with ZnT 02, and the series. This morning, SS-Eclipse released episode 01 of Zero no Tsukaima. Now, if we were speeding it, this wouldn’t be an issue. But as a quality sub, the goal is to be the best quality out there, so you can be remembered for the series. Now, the thing about SS-Eclipse is, regardless of the other groups’ quality, they’ll be the ones remembered for it. Heck, look at Kanon. I personally feel that AFK was by far the best group, but SS-Eclipse is remembered.
Simply, we’d be oversubbing it if we continued.
So, we’re going to simply focus more on our other series, all which will now be speed. We MAY pick something else up, but the summer is looking pretty boring from the shows out there. We’re going to look more at the fall season.
Also, to whoever released that Clannad 24 torrent on Mininova with our name: Chihiro will NEVER touch Clannad. Ever. It was one of the things we swore on at the group’s creation. I support Sprocket. I don’t try to sub it myself. :p
Also also, if you were kbed out of Chihiro 2 nights ago, I apologize. That was a staff member (ex-staff member now) who was ragequitting due to my invite of someone else to be staff. I thought he’d be a little more mature about it, but I guess not. Regardless, the situation is remedied.
h.264: Here
XviD: Here
So, with our first and only completed series so far, we make a batch. Yay!
This is the XviD batch. They are all 1280X720 XviDs with hardsubbed subtitles. We will have the h.264’s soon, but I have to do something with them first. Expect them is a day or two.
Torrent
So, why is this a release from us? Well, all people who worked on it this time were from Chihiro, since we re-edited/re-TLCed it. So, we’re release the 1v2 as basically Chihiro 1.
I don’t know why it wouldn’t upload like the 20 times I attempted to upload it. Each time was a ping timeout or something. I blame my home’s internet.
XviD IS coming in like an hour or two.
h.264: Here
XviD: Here
