*RAGES*
i’ll be waiting for your release even if other groups subs it
thanks in advance
This S2 will be in the same quality as previous 7 eps which [Yuki] released?
like kousuke, I’ll be waiting too!
hoping for epic quality!
Have you considered just stealing the TL from the light novels? I doubt that they changed the dialog much, if at all, so you should be able to do that with a little editing.
It’s on the internets at http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Suzumiya_Haruhi:Volume3_Bamboo_Leaf_Rhapsody if you don’t already know.
@alyu
@kousuke
Well, at this point, I am hoping as well.
@Paranoia
Well, that would probably still not cover signs; and I don’t know if I really want to go off of something that’s not confirmed. :/
@Yuki`N
Actually, you could do a joint with Dattebayo and Live-Evil… apparently they want an encoder and you seem to be pretty good at that.
@Paranoia
I’m not exactly jumping to attempt a triple joint. That could end badly.
i hope u sub the new ep and that it will be epic quality
like the other releases
go yuki~~!!!
is epi 8 the start of season 2 or is it still a part of season 1
i’m confused
@kousuke
The first season of the anime contain 14 episodes with mess up time line order. Now, the 2nd season also contain 1st season episode but in corret time line order(as you can see in first 7 episode), but it also includes new episode as well(most likely new 14 episodes mix up with 14 first season episodes). Thus, episode 8 is officially first episode for second season.
@Sor@sama
so basically they mix season 1 & 2
Yeah, season 1 and 2 could be considered as one 24 episodes (I hope) series.
Btw, I’m very glad you continue to encode TMOHS Yuki. I plan to change my archived Hitsuji release with yours.^^
@ailailou: I heard there will be 14 new eps, so 28 eps total. Not that I’m saying this is true, but that’s what I heard. I hope it is true though, and that they get up to volume 6.
then, a third season w/ volumes 7-9. maybe some more haruhi-chan too. this is wishful thinking though.
@paranoia: I don’t think this is a good idea, since we don’t know just how good the translations of the light novels are (though I find them to be awesome, some may have different standards). also, I’m pretty sure quite a bit has changed, language wise, though obviously the basic ideas are in the novels. so it would be useful to double-check translations using it, but not as a substitute for translation of the anime dialogue itself.
There are 14 new episodes that are going to be airing, and they will be inter-dispersed with season 1. Why? Because chronologically certain events that are in season 2 happen before events in season 1, thus it would make sense to air them in this style. The only other choice they had was to do a season 1 style jumbled-up cut, but that would spoil the Disappearance arc. Also, the light novels are almost word-for-word to the actual episode, so 90% of the translations are usable from them. The other 10% is probably going to require a translator though. My suggestion: use the light novels for TLC. There is also speculation that the last episode of Season 1, Someday in the rain, will be treated as an OVA, thus Season 2 will contain 15 episodes instead of 14. The more Haruhi, the better ^_^.
So, I just re-watched your episode 1 last night and was blown away. The quality was astounding. I’m eagerly awaiting and hoping to see the new episodes if you can get them done. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I’m definitely sticking with your subs. Very nice. Plus, I love the awesome-quality HD >_>.
I have to comment your poll if i would watch Yuki`s releases even if earlier famous subtitlers releases of Haruhi we`re available: Yuki`s releases are among the very best of all anime ever released! I`m currently very much into HDTV after at last having acquired HDMI DVD with DivX capacity + Blu-Ray player + Full HD TV. Yuki`s releases in 720p do really look as that format should.
@yuki: there is allegedly a 720p raw floating somewhere (probably some hidden networks or share or whatever…). Mazui did a release w/ pretty good quality…
I can post their subs if you want (to get an idea of the quality of the video) hope you can find it.
also, you guys will do karaoke (w/ epic quality, not what db+le did…)
right? that’s the only thing bad about mazui’s sub. no karaoke.
No karaoke please. I don’t know who started the idiotic trend of adding flashy font effects to obscure the actual opening, but they should never have been let near video editing equipment.
anon is crazy. eclipse-like quality is desired. and I notice yuki is already working on encoding the ED karaoke.
good job, yuki!
I forgot to mention. anon, you know the karaoke can usually be turned off in mkv’s like what yuki releases right? soft-sub. plus, the broadcast credits obscure the OP and ED anyways. I download a separate creditless version of the OP ED for viewing purposes.
Whose translation are you using?
alyu is out of his mind, the karaoke used in these releases are hardsubbed and thus CAN NOT be turned off, lol.
Anon, if you don’t want karaoke, a new group called Sushi fansubs is doing the same releases, which in my opinion is better than Yuki’s.
WTF wit ur discussing of KARAOKE. If it’s there, it’s there and vice versa.
so if there’s a karaoke in the vid, is it a BIG FUSSY PUSSY problem? -NO
but if there’s no karaoke, is it a problem? -NO
learn2appreciate… And why the hell are you here questioning karaoke, if you see based on Yuki’s releases for the past 7 episodes, you might as well have the idea.
and lastly thanks Yuki for the Season 1 releases!!!
If the karaoke is done soft subbed (Chihiro has done that with a few series), then it can be easily turned off like the subtitles.
But then the effects can’t be as flashy (there are some effects that might be possible, though). Also, the Japanese lyrics will not show up unless you have the Japanese language pack installed on you machine (it’s on the Windows CD, but it’s not part of a standard installation).
For those above, this is the alleged airing schedule.
01. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part I
02. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part II
03. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part III
04. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part IV
05. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part V
06. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part VI
07. The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya
08. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody part I
09. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody part II
10. Mysterique Sign
11. Endless Eight part I
12. Endless Eight part II
13. Remote Island Syndrome part I
14. Remote Island Syndrome part II
15. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya part I
16. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya part II
17. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya part III
18. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya part IV
19. The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00
20. Live Alive
21. The Day of Sagittarius
22. Someday in the Rain
23. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part I
24. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part II
25. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part III
26. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part IV
27. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part V
28. The Disappearence of Haruhi Suzumiya part VI
And I don’t mind Karaoke if it is tasteful
I think that schedule is wrong, especially considering the fact that all of Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody has been covered already, thus a part II seems unlikely. Rather, a part II won’t happen since everything in the story has been covered. Mysterique Sign will definitely be episode 9. As for the episodes after that, it’s anyone’s guess. Another speculation for the order is:
01. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part I
02. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part II
03. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part III
04. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part IV
05. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part V
06. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya part VI
07. The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya
08. Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
09. Mysterique Sign
10. Remote Island Syndrome part I
11. Remote Island Syndrome part II
12. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part I
13. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part II
14. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part III
15. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part IV
16. The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya part V
17. Endless Eight
18. The Day of Sagittarius
19. Snow Mountain Syndrome part I
20. Snow Mountain Syndrome part II
21. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya part I
22. The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya part II
23. The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina episode 00
24. Live Alive
25. Charmed at First Sight LOVER
26. Where did the Cat Go?
27. The Melancholy of Asahina Mikuru
28. Someday in the rain
Disappearance is unlikely to air last, and 4 episodes for The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya would be overkill. The only strength in having the Disappearance arc end last is that, if the director chooses so, they can easily create an anime-only ending, thus ridding fans of the despair of having to wait for more novels to see a true conclusion to this awesome series.
I’ll be waiting for ur 8EP although the others already released. Do your best!!
recently i watched your fansub, it’s really good for the quality! i appreciate it, i’m waiting for your release again! keep work!
Although I have missed the Translator wanted! post, I am ready to help translating the episode if Toshi needs help.
It is a pity though that they aired it in such low quality… Or that every raw supplier encoded it in such low quality.
Ugh I don’t want to wait five more weeks for more new episodes.
@Raptor: Are you saying that this will be the last season?
I don’t think this will be the last season. Book 10 could very well be the last book, and it’s overdue already. So I think there will be a third season to cover the events of books 9 and 10.
Hi, courteous posts there
hold responsible’s recompense the gripping information
Welp, afk have subbed the new episode. Subrip for consistency?
I’m still amazed a.f.k came back from the grave. The power of Haruhi is unparalleled.
Looking forward to your release, for archiving.
All the other wannabe Haruhi subbers are not worth the space on my PC.
a.f.k. came back to life!!! *faints*
Hm, well, what now Yuki? ^^
@everyone complaining about kara:
Karaoke was only done because I had nothing else to do. I don’t know what you’d define as “flashy”, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to create such elaborate effects.
@everyone talking about subrips:
I’m most likely going to composite a edited version of all the available subs, as well as some from my own TL. This way, there have been many refinements to allow the best release possible. Blarh. I don’t want to steal any one groups’ because it’s stealing, and stealing is bad.
keep up the good work !
regarding karaoke:
Don’t think they were complaining about it, they were just correcting the guy that said your karaoke was softsubbed when it is actually hardsubbed.
regarding subs:
If you’re going to make an edited version of all the available subs, just make sure you give credit to the proper groups you took them from since that’s still taking other people’s scripts which doesn’t constitute original work.
just my 2 cents.
I think you should take AFKs….
Oh and CoalGirls released a 1280×720 version…but I am still awaiting yours!
Oh? CoalGuys did. After their encoder sweared up and down the HD broadcast wasn’t really HD and was a bad station upscale. Said he’s never release an HD from that because it wasn’t worth it. Said Yuki was wasting his time and everyone else’s by doing it?
Why am I not suprised.
Not CoalGuys. CoalGirls. Completely unrelated.
Crap, did AFK just actually release the episode? At least I’ve downloaded something that says so and even has the same looking subs as S1. I thought he just disappeared from the subbing world…well he did, until now?
Coalgirls released just ep 1, and Sushi just release the 720p of ep 8 >.<
hmmmmmmmm. Coalgirls has released ep 8 in 720p with coalgg’s subs, sushi has released ep 8 with their “own subs” (dunno if its true), and a.f.k strikes back ><
All you need to do “yuki”, is keep up the awesome video quality and steal the best subs, and you have a winner XD
