@Yuki`N: thanks for you hard work. i wasn’t particularly following haruhi suzumiya s2 to be honest because i dropped it halfway (and i was following a.f.k). just came here to drop by. Anyways, your reasons for dropping Haruhi is absolutely okay. Real life is far important. School is important. I never managed to enter the fansubbing community which I always thought to be so much fun sharing the love of anime for the fans because of my school. and I understand your situation. Thanking you again for spreading the love for anime and wishing you all the ebst in your school and everyday life.

We’re at 24 now (end of Sighs, released by the Mazui speedsubbers in Dotcrawl-O-Vision today), but there’s at least another 4 from S1 coming (I think we’ll get The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina as we’ve just seen it filmed, Live Alive, The Day of Sagittarius, and Someday in the Rain), and remember the S1s are much higher raw quality (I understand?), and what I think [Yuki] was originally intending to do before it became well known that S2 would be interleaved with the S1 repeat like this. Rumours of a completely unannounced Disappearance are hopeful, but unfounded; we’ll just have to see but honestly I think this might be it, for this year at least, unless they saved a LOT of voice-actor time doing you-know-what (and I don’t think they did).

naaget: Well, we’ll see. Thanks for the raws, I have PD myself, and we need to do a quality comparison.

I’m asking permission for us to actually use the name, at least, or for me to help out, in the IRC channel, as I feel cooperation as closely as we can handle is the best way. I can understand if Yuki`N wants to walk away, but I want this to be part of [Yuki], I want this to carry on until the end of the series.

I don’t want to use anything other than [Yuki] to carry on if I can help it, simply because (for example) [Nagato] sorts before [Yuki] and it’s really annoying for a batch release to switch groups halfway through, especially if the new episodes appear at the top! Imagine, if you will, the directory:

[Nagato]_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_(2009)_-_20_(1280×720.h264)_[DEADBEEF].mkv
[Yuki]_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_(2009)_-_01_(1280×720.h264)_[4F7894C1].mkv
[Yuki]_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_(2009)_-_02_(1280×720.h264)_[9010EDC0].mkv
…

No, that’d drive me nuts. This is archive, at least until BDs come out (if they do). We’re not in a hurry, and archive should be as near-perfect as we can manage, and that includes little details like that. If we can do it at all, we want to use [Yuki], and since we want to continue in the best possible quality we can, knowing what filters (how DID you kill that dotcrawl so well, Yuki?) and which raws got used is important so we can try to maintain the same level of quality throughout that Yuki`N has so graciously brought to us so far.

*shrugs* It’s not drama, we’re pretty much on the same page here. As suggested in the channel, I’m simply waiting for a response. I’ve got a little time, and I won’t let it die (no matter how much KyoAni wanted to kill it).
