The Plog/Yuki Fansubs

Quick post summary: We have two new things, an IRC webclient and delays on eps 8v2 and 12. Want to know more? Read on! Read more…

Well, it doesn’t deserve just a comment explaination, so I’m going to attempt to explain the delays associated with the well overdue release of ep 8.

First of all, you may know that I was away from the Interwebs this past weekend. In fact, I was at Nerd Competition (American Computer Science League), and was unable to work on subbing for that weekend.

Second of all, there has been a lot of confusion over stuff. Many raws have been released, and it takes time to download and examine them all. I am trying to pick the best quality source for my final encode. Overall, I am not impressed with the range of quality there is; but a new airing is a new airing.

Expect a decrease in sharpness of the episode. Rips such as these are always guaranteed to have slight blurriness due to interlacing. I believe that serious magic has been done to eliminate all or most visual defects, but it may not match the clarity of the past episodes.

Finally, I hope to make a final release today, but who knows.

Hey you, it’s your lucky day! That’s right, today you get to read Jeff’s first rant on the internet! These little gems come around once every 5000 years or so, so listen up!

Okay, sappy introduction aside, I’m here to seriously rant today. Religious folks beware, this may offend you. It is not my intention to offend, but it may end up that way. Read more…

So, my schedule for this weekend looks quite busy. Allegedly, but quite probably, this weekend’s airing of Haruhi is going to be NEW. This means that there will be TL-delay involved. In addition, I’m participating in one of the nerdiest competitions around, ACSL. Basically, I am away the entire weekend; and may or may not have Internet access. Yay. This would most likely further delay my release. This leads to the new board poll. Read more…

In case you haven’t heard already, Shamisen is cutting all ties with us/me. As to exactly why, I only have an inkling, but in my and several other analyst’s opinions, it’s quite the gross overreaction. By his reaction, he clearly doesn’t want to talk about it. I could respect his “wishes?” to not discuss it, but I feel like it needs to be appealed. Besides, the last thing I’m obligated to do is respect his decision as of now.

If you the type of person that sees “TL;DR”, you’d want to skip to the end, there’s some important info down there. Read more…

Swear to me on this rose ring.

Finished Rozen Maiden. It was epic. I highly recommend it to anyone who reads this post. The ending was simple, yet poignant, though I myself wish there was more, and the little “third season” actually had some more plot to it. However, I found out that the old manga was abruptly ended. Yes. What a travesty. Ah well. All in all, a good waste of time that would have been done doing history homework.

Point two: Haruhi. It seems I have a “competitor” when it comes to the re-airing of Season 2. I am not sure if I can really call it “competition”, as the end result is somewhat…ehh. Read more…
