I’ve quit.

Railgun BDs and Kyou no Go no Ni DVDs are probably going to end up dropped by Chihiro. I have no intentions of picking them up here.

That is all.

Lets see… I’ll begin with Chaos Fansubs.

I’m pretty sure that people already know of the two active projects at the moment (if you don’t, check the Chaos Fansubs tab at the top there). Well, Pokemon hasn’t progressed much. We have some better raws now, but I’m not feeling very motivated to TL it. If there’s a Pokemon fanatic somewhere out there reading this and wants to translate it, please join us! We will do everything else, including the checking and editing of your translations!

The other project is Zettai Karen Children DVDs, a joint with II-Subs. Episode one is pretty much done, but now II-Subs have jumped ship due to personal issues amongst their staff. But that’s fine. Since my group doesn’t really have an encoder, they’re providing the raws they’ve already encoded for us to use. Aside from that, I think we’ve got everything else.

And one final thing to add is the pickup of a brand new project! We are now doing the Time of Eden Movie (Gekijouban Eve no Jikan). This project will be another joint, this time with the group that brought you the best Blu-ray version of Clannad: Mastodon Infantry Internationale! We also have a fellow BakaBT staff member, kureshii, joining us on this project to help with editing, styling and typesetting!

Honestly, I had no idea this even existed. Apparently, Online University has started dishing out awards to people, and I managed to win their Top 40 Anime Blogs award :D

Well, congrats to me~

A new album. But the album is about 4.2GB (lossless). It’s a collection of 10 SHM-CDs, and contains about 12 to 15 tracks per CD.

Here’s my dilemma: How should I release it?

I could release it as a whole set (all 10 CDs) and spend about a month seeding the torrent and maybe longer if I upload it to my XDCC bot.

OR I could release it CD by CD. This is ugrier (since we’ll have 10 archive files for the one album). This will mean I spend a few days seeding each album and then move on to release the next one and leave the swarm to do the seeding.

Post suggestions please!

We’re finally moving! We now have more staff members and a brand new XDCC bot! Still uploading files, it should be working! But don’t raep her :x

A lot has happened recently. France lost, Australia lost, South Korea lost, North Korea lost, England tied (twice :|), etc. But aside from the World Cup, a lot of stuff have happened as well. I finally got a few TLC projects out of the way (happy now, kureshii?) and cleared about 40 GB of free space! I also bought Mirror’s Edge and Mass Effect on Steam. EA Week FTW!

BakaBT

Some controversy and dorama with a recent announcement that has since been removed. To clarify, I in no way support the venture that is possibly a scam and is owned by someone who is possibly a convicted pedophile.

But that aside, I’ve been having a pretty awesome time at BakaBT. I finally got two long time projects done. The Hayate no Gotoku manga is now uploaded. And at long last. I’m still working on the music collections, and rest assured they will be done! Sometime…

Another project that is finally underway is the Great BakaBT Pokemon Cleanup! With the upload of this torrent, I began yet another project that will take me ages and distract me from all my other projects. Not to mention I still have a Pokemon fansub project that should be happening.

Fansubbing & Such (& Recruitment)

I’ve been getting small projects out of the way until now. I intend to finally finish off the backlog projects I have (Negima AW with AQS, Vampire Bund and Railgun with Chihiro). After I’m done with those, I can finally get to start on my own fansub projects! Chaos Fansubs is currently recruiting, so if you want to join, see the Recruitment link at the top right of this page.

I’m now also part of Fanservice Subs, although I dunno what I’ll be doing. Shunrai and I have coinciding sentiments when it comes to what we want to fansub, so we’re now bros.

In other news, I’ve just joined up with HiNA-Subs to do some doujin scanlation. I think it’s gonna be released as a joint, and I’ll be getting halp on the Chaos Scanlations project from them too, so that’s awesome. But we’re still recruiting!

Chaos Music is still pretty active. I’m working on another collection of music, and I’ll be releasing in both Lossless and Lossy as usual.

However, Chaos Novels is very inactive. I have projects I want to work on but I have no other staff! If you’re interested in translating and/or editing novels, please click the Recruitment link at the top right!

I think all this info has been published elsewhere (online, Japanese magazines), but I finally bought a copy of Issue 201 of Ani-Wave, the local anime magazine, and I was greeted with some awesome pictures of Angel Beats, Eden of the East and the Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi. Some of these scans have grey sections, that’s because I rotated the images in Photoshop due to my crap scanning skills.

So I just got myself this swell new theme that I really like. It’s a pleasant change to the extra-dark theme I had before. Sure, I lose my banner, but things look better like this in my opinion. I’m still tweaking various appearances, so expect a few changes.

One big change that should be noticeable is the presence of pages! Yes! I finally have a theme that has a page navigation bar! For that reason, I’m reorganizing a few pages and putting some of my releases onto those pages. It’ll happen when it happens. I’ve got my maths test to revise for. Fuck you, Matrices and Vectors!

edit:
Yay for customizing! I now have a Miku banner :3

I hate fansub drama. Really. I should just quit after this season.

Why? I have just become the target of fansub dorama attacks. See here.

So now, because I’m in Chihiro, I’m biased. Well he-fucking-llo? I try to maintain a fucking professional attitude. Because I was in a competing group, I merely stated my opinions, and got the fuck out of there. I made no decision, I didn’t “convince” anyone to accept/wait for Chihiro.

Hell, this is all I said on the topic:

I second what Nazo says. I downloaded an episode of CommieRips, and I didn’t really like their editing. Then again, there is an element of preference when it comes to editing. I simply just prefer the way Chihiro does things, one of the reasons why I was easily led to join >_>

SFW is totally out of the scene. Really now. “Striped Panties” was translated as “Wrinkly wrinkly panties”. Who doesn’t know what Shimapan means? D:

Does this look Pro-Chihiro? Okay, maybe a bit. I said that I disliked the editing of Commie, but I also said that it was merely personal preference. I’m entitled to an opinion. As for SFW, obvious facts are obvious. See Ji-Hi’s comparison.

Following Crunchyroll’s acquisition of rights to stream Haruka, AQS has officially dropped the show. See the AQS Website for details and the official drop announcement.

We’re still doing Negima AW, however.
