Surprise!

More To LOVE-Ru for all the perverted fans out there. We think you’ve waited long enough now!

This episode revolves all around the school festival. Expect nipples.

With the episode 12 torrent we’ve also included several other files. We’ve fixed/updated the lyrics/karaoke. Just replace the two existing ones with the ones included in this torrent.

There are two different versions of the OP/ED. The default one (the one that loads when you double click any episode) is the creditless/hardsubbed karafx version. There’s also a 2nd version which is creditless and has softsubs.

You also will notice that we’ve included a .rar in this torrent. Basically it includes .bat and xdelta3 files that will help you set the softsubbed version as the default for ordered chapters (if you want). You can also revert it back if you don’t like it. There is also a text file for Unix users which explains how to do these changes manually. If you have any questions, just join our channel on Rizon and ask away.

The CRC of the .rar file is D80EF6B0 by the way.

As you *might* have noticed the website was down the last few days. That is because it got flooded with spam and couldn’t keep up. It’s all good now; we switched the server and this shouldn’t be happening again.

All those dirty spam comments should be deleted too. If you happen to see any more, feel free to mention where you’ve found them down in the comments and I’ll see to it that they’ll get removed fast.

In other news, another release has been waiting in the release queue for quite some time now. It wasn’t released yet cause, well, the website was down. Now that this problem is resolved you can expect it to get released soon.

PS: Some might not be able to display this site for a few days, while others can. Try to suggest them to flush their DNS and try again (or use proxy software like TOR for the time being if they really have to access the site).

PPS: I know we’ve been treating our torrents pretty badly till now (as in, most haven’t been seeded well), but at least for the time being that shouldn’t be the case anymore. Every torrent should have at least 1 seedbox assigned to it now which will guarantee fast downloads.

So, here it is, the last episode of EVE no Jikan! It’s quite a bit longer than the previous episodes, which is why it took us longer than expected to finish working on it. We actually tried to release this before the movie got out, but I guess we missed the deadline by a few days.

I’d also like to announce that we’re going to work on the movie, which basically combines all 6 episodes and adds new content. And it’s going to be in high definition!

At 06:25 you’ll see this piece of paper. (You should watch the episode till 06:25 first to get the context.) In case you were wondering what’s on there, here’s a translation:

Only one more episode to go now~

Look, they’re so happy we’ve finished working on this episode so fast that they’re applauding.

As our original encoder vanished in April and as the movie BD is going to be released in a few weeks, we decided to switch encoders and cut back on some of the AFX TS, so we can push out the last three episodes fast. Be at ease though, we mainly just didn’t TS that 3D rules (you see it several times in every episode), cause TSing it takes longer than TSing all the other signs together.

So here’s episode 4. You may notice the increase of file size. This is not only due to the new encoder but in general this episode is quite hungry for bitrate. Once you’ve watched it you’ll see why.

So get yourself a comfortable couch, a cup of tea and enjoy watching this episode.

If you thought we were dead, you’re in for some disappointment. It’s just that the staff DOESN’T WORK UNLESS I WHIP THEM EVERY OTHER MINUTE. Here’s my excuse as to why I haven’t been subbing much in a while: I had to study for final exams and stuff. And we all know that RL > Fansubbing, right?

In other news, the site was down for a while; fixed that.

And now that that’s out of the way, a few lines about the actual episode:

Yeah, I’ll let you figure out what happens there by watching the actual episode. It’s actually just a 10 minute special for an OVA. Nobody bothered to sub this, though; there are not even official subtitles available. There’s a version of it on BakaBT where someone translated a Russian script into English, but we think we can offer a more complete package of this episode. We did a straight JPN -> ENG translation, so expect this to be as accurate as possible.

Speaking of accuracy:

Yes, we even left all the errors made by the producing company in! Just so it feels authentic!

We recommend you to watch the other episodes of the OVA first, as this is the very last one. You can download the first OVA and the other episodes of the 2nd OVA from BakaBT.

Also, our editor wants you to know–before you watch this–that the woman’s English is SUPPOSED to be broken on some parts. After all, she’s a Chinese immigrant.

So we thought as it’s already been almost 6 months again since we last released a Seto no Hanayome episode — you surely remember, we released episode 1 on 14 Sept. 2008, episode 2 on 13 March 2009 and episode 3 on 21st Sept. 2009 — we’ll surprise you and release TWO episodes this time! Furthermore, we’ll announce that we’ll drop Seto no Hanayome. Yes, you read right, we’re now going to cease working on the DVD rips…

…because the BD box was released today! We’re going to restart this project, reorganise the team and hopefully find the BD files soon on Share so we can start working on them. We also want to assure you that we won’t release the BD rips in 6 months intervalls, we’ll try to be a bit faster this time.

Out-of-context pics are something really nice~

Episode 4 is about a new girl by the way.

Episode 5 got everything! It features apes (above) and sharks (below)! Not to forget the epic storyline with smoothly animated fighting scenes, detailed backgrounds and, of course, lots of fanservice — I mean manly tears (it’s the same in this anime, really).

On a side note, we’ve forgot to mux in the fonts and chapter file for EVE no Jikan 03v2. Thanks to HK-47 for pointing this out. You can download a patch file with instructions below if you don’t want to download the whole file again. Sorry for the screw-up.

Didn’t expect to see another episode of EVE no Jikan so “soon”, did you?

This wonderful episode is about (sexual) relationships with androids. Rikuo and Masaki get to know Rina and Koji, who are apparently having such a relationship. While Rikuo is more open-minded, Masaki just can’t accept it. Is a human-android relationship really ethical? What do you think?

Once you’ve watched the episode, feel free to discuss it here! I’d also suggest you to read Almost A Hero’s blog entry about this episode first, it’s really worth reading (I know I enjoyed it at least). Don’t mind that it’s from 2008~

At long last. You can blame me for this taking so long. Typsetting 3D signs is seriously a freaking pain. But it was worth going through all the trouble~

We felt like adding a TL Note in the episode would just confuse the viewers, so we’ll put it here:

After having watched this episode you might’ve noticed some people calling the little girl Chii-chan while others call her Chie-chan. That’s actually on purpose. Chii-chan is the cuter version, Chie-chan is more formal. So the ones close to the little girl will call her Chii-chan.

Merry Christmas!

For all of you who doubted we’d finish Himawari!! this year… (and voted “2010″ on the “When do you think we’ll release Himawari – 13″ poll…) Hey, we’re not that slow, alright? Though you’ve pushed our motivation, so thanks for that. :p

Episode 12 is mostly centered around Shikimi and her past (see picture above), episode 13 is centered around… well… they finally do it?! You’ll have to find out.

So… we’re finally done with Himawari!! It’s been a long journey, way longer than the we anticipated it to be. Heck, most of the original team already left Yabai and we’ve had to deal with a lot of problems. But we’re done now, it’s all good…

Here’s a few words of some of the staff members who worked on Himawari!!:

limpakos (QCed ep 6-13)
“in  your face suckers” for those who voted that we would release in 2010 ;p

Skyward (encoded ep 1-5)
“Himawari seems far more enjoyable now that I’m no longer working on it”

Mandarinka (encoded ep 6-13)
“I’d say, seriously… through two seasons, and no nipples int he end.”

Futamaru (TLCd ep1, translated 2-13):
As requested by jama, in conjunction with the completion of the Himawari!! project, here are some words of thought that I have for this project. (sounds formal =P)

The initiation of the project can be back-dated to about 2 years ago (Nov 2007), when I lingered around in #Zero-raws, MurderousAngel approached me (she’s no longer involved in the fansubbing community, but I think she deserves to be mentioned.) Then I was introduced to a few staff members which I have forgotten most of their names. Because things didn’t go as planned, a few members from the group split off and formed Yabai, which I am proud to be one of the founding members of. From there, Himawari!! episodes were released slowly (yeah SLOWLY) but steadily.

Well… I am not good at giving speeches. Here’s some things jama suggested me to talk about:

“You’re now done with this series. How did you like it?”
Well… The series is quite nice to watch, especially when you are bored. I find it entertaining due to some of the nonsense jokes in it. Overall, it’s nice, but most importantly, we have a nice team that worked on it, and there are still fans that are longing for more Himawari.

“It took you more than 2 years, why so long?”
Well… Whenever you forward this question to anyone in fansubbing community, you will get the same answer. The answer is so obvious, I refuse to say it.

“Was it hard to translate Himawari?”
Generally it’s not that hard. But sometimes it drives me crazy. To name a few situation, when Yusura gives some nonsense metaphor, and Himeji with her weird Indian (she’s dark) slang, and Himawari’s speed in speaking.

“Would you do it again if you had the chance? What about translating season 1?”
The answer is “No”. I have withrawn from Yabai, due to RL issues. Moreover I don’t want to get ear cancer by listening over and over for sentences that I don’t get clearly. As for season 1, I can’t say anything about other groups or on behalf of Yabai, if they want to do it, they will do it. [Note: We definitely won't.] By the way, there is already a complete release by GNU for the first season.

Finally, I feel very happy because this is the second series, and most likely the last, that I have completed. I will slowly vanish from the fansub community (as translator, but not leecher xD). Hope you all enjoy the quality release of Yabai as your Christmas present. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

As I think Futamaru’s “speech” covers most of what I wanted to say anyway, I’ll keep the rest of my post short. :p

Thanks go to everyone who supported us on Himawari and worked on it! Also we’d like to thank all of you who sticked with us and never gave up waiting (as if you’d have had any other choice *kukuku*)!

Additional information:

We released Himawari!! – 01 on 5 May, 2008, Episode 13 on 25 December 2009, that’s 599 days between ep 1 and ep 13.

This is the first series Yabai worked on and the first we completed. Makes me become kind of sentimental. :’)

We might do a rev2 batch (something like Mazui did with Haruhi S2), but even if we’d do it, we’d not do it any time soon.

We’re gonna try to finish up two secret projects and Eve no Jikan next. We haven’t forgotten about Seto no Hanayome and To LOVE-Ru, don’t worry, we just have to set priorities right now.
