Holy shit, we released only a week late!

Uh, screencap later. I don\'t have the files and am at school atm.

Anyway a comment on the release, we sort of actually knew what everyone was doing for the most part. Also, Koko she is loco I said OH NO.

Yes. Ironic that I should say that.

But anyway, many of us (by which i mean all of us) have finals and for the younger ones, AP exams coming up in the next few weeks. Because of finals, it also means a lot of assignments are being given out in the last few weeks before the test itself. For the college students within our group, their final is already in progress.

Point being, Haiyore will probably be delayed starting ep 4. Ep3 is ready to release, except both our typesetters are too busy to actually work on them, so we\'re at a dead stall on that account.

Jormungand will... The encoders will cause more delays than myself T\(--)_/T (jkjk, I love you two, soup & tormaid)

Uh, if we can\'t get it typeset soon, I might just do it myself.

So yeah. Delays incoming due to finals. Small teams are prone to this problem. (We only have five members)

My extensive effort attempting to denoise this was rendered moot when we acquired much better looking caps. This comes at the cost of being even less compressible, so we unanimously decided ordered chapters were called for. Continue reading below for further details about the encodes.

Delay was partially due to lack of experience with ordered chapters… ^^;

My original plan was was to mostly denoise this and apply a light layer of grain over it to hide the splotches left over. Why not completely denoise it? Doing so would erase stupid amounts of detail during dark scenes, even line art (despite stacks of masking lines). There’s just too much grain. While I was able to pull this off to a degree, it still wasn’t ideal without scene-filtering out the dark scenes and leaving them alone. Then comes the issue of compressibility, again. The added grain was less compressible, even when applied very lightly, and only to dark areas of the frame. In the end, since we had to sacrifice something, we chose to use mostly unfiltered encodes and try to strike a balance between compressibility and grain retention. Dark scenes look very good, we sacrificed very little detail and the stronger grain forced higher bitrate allocation, and thus better grain retention. Bright scenes are a toss up. I actually chose to denoise the very brightest areas of the frame, because you can barely even see the grain there and it was just eating bitrate for no reason. If you look at the above screenshot, you can see the state of the grain during normal lighting. No, it doesn’t look spectacular. However, in motion it’s really not so bad. Ultimately, I think this was the best of several not-so-appealing choices presented me.

Haters gonna hate.

Long story on this release. By which I mean I\'m still sitting here at 5:30 in the morning even though I have a soloist recital tomorrow. If anyone\'s in the new york area, feel free to come to West Point\'s Young Artist Concert. I\'m in there.

Anyway, delays, delays, and delays. I know we\'re technically a \"slowsub\" group, but even then we hit some massive brick walls eg college people having exams. (Those of us that are in highschool will have our share of exams soon enough)

Fun note: There\'s a sign that we weren\'t able to finish in time (if that makes sense) which means even though it should be properly motion tracked, shit\'s derping and we don\'t know why. The sign should be moving smoothly but it stutters. I left the sign commented out, but in the .ass itself if anyone\'s curious. The last 15 or so frames for that sign were hand typed by me because everyone else died and I don\'t have the proper motion tracking software (I tried to fix the entire sign... by hand. It didn\'t work out too in the end orz)

Anyway, enough ramblings. Enjoy episode two of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san!

This will be our main project this season and it is a joint with our pals over at Anxious-he. This show is about guns and world peace and… yeah, just watch it…

Props to LeonHo who masterfully ktimed the OP for us.

Encoder Notes: It’s huge! WTF?! Since all you’re going to do in the comments is complain about the filesize I will address that now. This show has a constant layer of moving grain on top of being about people who blow things /other people up non stop at night. Any group who manages filesizes much smaller than this did so by sacrificing substantial amounts of detail and will look like shit, see here. Next week we may switch to using ordered chapters, which would save roughly 200mb per episode.

Welcome to episode 1 of our first (Second?) project this season! As explained before, what you see here is Haiyore, which I think was a given considering this was the first show we ever subbed.

Does the fact that we have a clue what we\'re doing now do justice to the series compared to our first releases? I\'ll let you decide that. In the mean time, Nyaruko made my heart explode at least three times this episode. Good luck seeing me live until the end of the season.

w0lf edit: It\'s been way too long since I muxed and released. I COMPLETELY forgot about chapter files. A v2 will be released tomorrow night with the TS scene bleeds, OP kara, and chpaters added/fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience! (Hey, give us a break. We haven\'t released an episode on our own in almost 4 months)

w0lf edit2: Sigh Apparently mkvmerge is broken. It only muxes the first four fonts I assign for some damned reason. Will fix for the v2 release.

edit: v2\'s up.

edit2: xdelta patches fixed.

So i only stole the release pic this time. Yay! I don\'t even know why I\'m writing a release post. I\'m the only one from Ahodomo working on this \ o / (not to mention, I only TL half an ep. Yay)

So sup. I guess Aho\'s working on three shows this season... Right? Maybe? Hopefully?!

Whatever, I went to AnimeBoston today. It was meh. It\'s a sunday, I had no money($50 for purchases) and i didn\'t know about a-boston until saturday where i coincidentally met a friend in boston visiting colleges. So he was like, \"Yo, man. You should go to AnimeBoston with me.\" and i was like, \"Sure.\" and yeah. I went with no knowledge of anything and no crossplay outfit. Bleh.

Enough ramblings, though.

Enjoy the first release from Tsumiki Fansubs! (A super quad joint!)

Also, Tsumiki site

So hi. w0lf again.

edit:herping hotlink fix\'d

First, our joint will be with Anxious-He, one of our companions from the Hayaku joint. This show is about guns, guns and more guns. Apparently some plot exists but all I care about are the guns. :D

We\'ll probably take the legacy of Hayaku here and release veryHayaku (I hope my dripping amounts of sarcasm were apparent) But no worries! Superior quality will be achieved yet again!

And suddenly, PV download link

Our solo project will be the return of Forks, San Depletion, and more adorable NyarukoxCthuko!

Okay, maybe not so much the last one. (I hope there\'s more of it, anyway :3)

So yeah. We\'ll probably take the \"speed and quality\" route for Haiyore. We\'ll probably release within 24 hours, but don\'t be surprised if we\'re a bit late. We\'ll keep a standard of quality for this.

Hey there, Bell here. Ano Natsu ep. 12 is out, sorry for the delay. We had... problems. Our encoder was sick and that was the only thing holding us back from release.

I seriously hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. If you have any questions or want stuff explained about what happened, find me on IRC, I\'ll be more than willing to explain.

Final thoughts:

the1 (editor): This was the first anime series I’ve worked on from start to finish as an editor. I had tons of fun working with everyone, especially Tormaid. Fistbumps fellow camerafag I do some cinematography and post production as a side hobby, so I really loved the whole “film-making” theme. And yes, I cried at the ending, it was so emotional. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for being loyal and patient every week, even when we made silly mistakes with the script. Till next time, folks!

lygerzero0zero (TLC): I’m sorry for the bad puns.

Belldandy-sama (typesetter): I loved working on this series. Not only because it was really good and reminded me a lot of Onegai Teacher, but also because I liked working with EveTaku and Anxious-he. Also, the connection made during the last episode made it 10x better. You’ll see what I mean when you watch it. ( ¬‿¬)

Translation: We\'ll be waiting for those anime subs in that summer.

So hi. I wasn\'t the cause of lateness this time. I don\'t know what was. We released the day of the next episode airing \ o / Ironic fansub names ftwwww

Totally not slacking (coughtherestoftheteamcough)

(Probably(maybe)) Staff List:
Translator: w0lf
TLC: lygerzero0zero
Editors: Navycherub, Arche2, the1
Typesetting: Belldandy-sama
Timing: Arche2
Encoding: Tormaid
QC: sinkingmist, Tormaid
Distro: Tormaid

And if anyone\'s still complaining, we counter-argue with Superior Subs! It\'s super effective! Complainer has fainted! (Ep12 is finished with the TLing process, btw. Hopefully we\'ll have it out tomorrow)(the 27th)
