Recruiting V2

Thanks to those who’ve applied, despite most of you being not-very-good (like, 2 guys received a passing grade, and 1 guy was already editing for us). That was partially my fault, as I should’ve emphasized the ability to edit dialog flow — IT WAS NOT JUST AN ISSUE OF GRAMMAR. We’ll try to get through all the applications and give you some feedback on how you sucked.

We’re still recruiting translators, however. This time, please head over to our recruitment page to fill in the form if you’re still interested in trying out as a translator.

If you give a Jaka a cookie

Henneko – 02

20130420191748887

So, we’re doing this as gg instead of CoalGuys, since it’s like 80% the same team anyway. We’ll re-release episode 1 with better typesetting (the CoalGuys release had no typesetting at all) and some fixes soon, but first, we gotta work on Titan. Saturday is one hell of a busy day. Also, I think this is the first haremshit we’ve subbed in a looooooooooooong while.

Enjoy

P.S. Special thanks to Dark_Sage for editing/subbing in this week!

Aku no Hana 03

I probably fucked up muxing this because it’s been forever since I last did this sort of thing and dragging and dropping files onto mkvmergegui is the hardest part of fansubbing.

If there’s audio issues that’s because of Animax rather than me, though.

Titan 02 Patch

For those who are interested in what happened: the TS basically started recording too early, and the previous show had mono audio.
[ Mono audio --> Stereo audio (Titan) ]
As a result, when mkvmerge was used to cut the audio, it applied the first set of headers it found (the mono ones) to the outputted audio stream; the data itself is still stereo. Apparently, this was an issue back in the days of Moshidora. As a result, libavcodec devs updated their code to account for this channel count switching error. If the original version didn’t play for you, it means that your codecs are way too old. The v1 will easily play if you update your codecs.

P.S. The patch also contains fixes to a few typos

Encode Issues

As I’m sure all of you are aware by now, Jaka is a complete moron.

  • Sazae-san is 30 fps. He encoded it as 23 fps.
  • Titan’s audio came out mono instead of stereo. Don’t even ask me how. (This one is even funnier because he tried loading the audio to time the episode and got fucked up audio so he worked around that and it didn’t cross his mind that the audio was broken.)

Edit:

[13:48] <@Mango-chan> wow
[13:48] <@Mango-chan> i haven’t reencoded audio in like 2 years

Valvrave – 01

valvrave01-premux.mkv_snapshot_21.37_[2013.04.11_19.32.00]

I don’t even know what the fuck to think about this show. It’s like a mixture of Code Geass + WWII + GUNDAM SEED + Power Rangers.

From what I understand in episode 1, we have Space Nazis of the Thrid Galactic Reich in space (who apparently speak German) terrorizing people with their large military. The boy in this show goes pilot Valvrave the Liberator to liberate the space jews (homage to glorious America? IDK), during which he makes a contract with some CC-like girl who grants him Vampire/Werewolf-Geass like powers. In the OP we also learn there’s a green/blue/yellow/purple Valvrave (possibly different modes of the original Valvrave). Enjoy.

Attack on Titan – 01

shingeki01-premux.mkv_snapshot_21.58_[2013.04.06_16.22.32]

Let’s hope subbing this will be sustainable in the future. Enjoy. Oh, and let the oversubbing begin.

EDIT: No, we’re not going to use “Scouting Legion” because some manga translator translated it that way. Official translations used “Survey Corps,” but we think “Recon Corps” fit better given the nature of what they do (see opening scene).

P.S. Before more “jimmies” get “rustled,” we are going to do Valvrave on Thursday (did I say this correctly?).

Anime Mirai 2013 – Death Billiards (By Madhouse)

Hi folks. Here’s the next of the young animator 1shots, Death Billiards, which was animated by Madhouse. They brought you classics such as Monster, TokiKake, Akagi, Perfect Blue, Kaiji, Redline, Kaiba, Cardcaptor Sakura and……………… High School of the Dead.

720p Death Billiards Torrent
1080p Death Billiards Torrent

There didn’t seem to be much hype for any other Anime Mirai shorts (one of them is by GONZO, the other is about FAIRY MECHS) so the translator will just have to get around to them whenever he has the time.
