Shoujo Sect 2 OUT!!! And some stuff.

Here’s our current situation: Episodes 9 up of Kannagi weren’t translated by Kaizer because he’s having his vacation and won’t be back in a few days, so Kannagi will be delayed… more… “More delay?” Yep. =) The good news is that he translated episode 8 and also translated episode 2 of Shoujo Sect before he boarded the plane. We prioritized Shoujo Sect over Kannagi and as you can see, the episode’s out.

Before anybody asks “what’s up with the long delay on Shoujo Sect 2?”, the answer is very quite simple: We don’t have a dedicated translator back then. During the joint with Genjo-Subs, we kinda stole… uh… borrowed Kaizer and told him to TL Shoujo Sect. He didn’t do it right away because Kannagi was our top priority. After he did translate it, the release took longer still because the main editor for Shoujo Sect, Adam, was missing, uh… busy from his work and Kannagi too. With limited resources SHiN-gx & Genjo-Subs has, we can manage only one episode per week.

Now that’s settled, here is Shoujo Sect 2 with the same flavor we gave you in episode 1! But wait a minute! What’s that? “When’s episode 3?”, you say? To give you a deadline, it’ll be out next year. 😛 Hey, it’s the holidays! We need a vacation too, y’know!

Back to the episode! What can we say? Shoujo Sect 2 packs two punches! Yuri and Teacher-Student action! The “oomph” of the art and animation dropped a bit but it still looks nice. The story was modified a bit and manga readers might be disappointed. However, this is our suggestion to you: “Watch the show without taking in the manga’s story”. That way, you’ll enjoy more. To those who wants to read the manga and go in depth with the characters, there are many groups doing it but we suggest Dynasty Scans. We have no comment to… uh… the other group name escapes me for the moment, but no matter, we’re not reading that version.

FINAL WORD ON THAT OFFENSIVE REMARK MONTHS AGO

Hello, this is SHiN_aKuMa, the encoder and one of the two founders of SHiN-gx Fansubs. To those who followed that recent disturbance about on some retarded individual who got the nerve to insult us in our lil blog. Well, to be frank, I haven’t really replied to him honestly and to put this to a close, this is my final word:

Stuff Delayed. Again.

Whoops! I do apologize for again delaying the batch torrent of Working!! S1. To be honest, I was shamefully distracted because of  *cough*MannvsMachine*cough*. We did manage to release the XviD batch torrent for Kaibutsu Oujo OVA though! The Working!! S1 DVD batch torrent will be delayed for a while. And as for our Yuru Yuri episode 08 status, the episode will be delayed for a while because the TL is busy of something.

.hack Sekai no Mukou ni fansub project!

Yep, you heard it right!

We’re going to fansub an anime movie eventually and after hours of debate, we picked .hack Sekai no Mukou ni as our first movie project. Why .hack? Because we like the series. …And a few folks insisted we sub it. Now we’re not going do this alone, so we’re teaming up with .hack experts Twilight Brigade to make sure everything is accurate. We really don’t want to end up using “Light Clerics” and…  *ahem* Right now we haven’t started translating and we’ll begin probably after we’re done with Yuru Yuri. If it interests you, we’ll provide weekly status reports or something.

A bit of warning though — it will take a very long while to finish this project and obviously the other groups are going to release this faster than us. We’re not the only option out there. I wish we were… *ahem*

Anyways, yeah, we’re going to fansub this whether you like it or not!

Kaibutsu Oujo OVA Batch Torrents are OUT!!!

The OVA started around September 2010 and that’s almost two years. Two years to complete. The fan subtitles, I mean. But hey, we finished it! The reason for the very long delay is yukachi, Mamiko’s head translator was a victim of human trafficking. It took us a long time to find him and to our surprise he ended up in Japan. After a night of awful food and giving farewell to someone he didn’t know and care, he went back to finish Kaibutsu Oujo. *ahem*

In terms of story line, the OVA can stand on its own, but if you really want to fully appreciate the series, go read the manga or watch the TV series. The TV series is really good. It’s kinda campy, but very good. The OVA contains three self-contained episodes and the art style and the level of violence is closely faithful to the manga.

Before we get to the links, the batch torrents are COMPLETE including the Kerberotte specials. We didn’t separate the specials and they can be found after the credits of each episode. All good? On to the release!

Please check out Mamiko’s site for the DDL.

UPDATE: Re-releasing the MKV torrent. We fixed a story-breaking translation error found in episode 2. Episode 2 will now be marked as [v3].

June 2012 Poll Results

The results are in! Now this is a very sensitive poll and we don’t want to be biased of any sort, so instead of writing down the results, we’ll just post a screenshot of the poll. Without further ado, here are the final results!

(click to enlarge)

EDIT: Uh… Whoops. Something went wrong. It appears the image we uploaded is corrupted. We apologize for the technical difficulties. However the results are still legible — 123 of the voters (45%) chose Toshinou Kyouko as the main protagonist of Yuru Yuri, followed by Funami Yui with 16 votes (6%) and Yoshikawa Chinatsu with 6 votes (2%).

The poll is obviously one-sided from the start. Kyouko is clearly the protagonist with her spunky attitude, the driving force of the group, and has more screen time than the rest.

Thank you for participating, folks! See ya in the next poll (after we release episode 5).

Looking for a rare Escaflowne short special

I was minding my own business when suddenly I recalled something — I once saw a Vision of Escaflowne TV short a decade ago. If my memory serves me correctly, it’s about Hitomi finding Van on Earth. It was a very short special running around 3-4 minutes and we want it… We want it fansubbed. No, it’s not one of those videos found in the Escaflowne video game for the Playstation. It was more like… damn… My memory of it is very faint. Hitomi was running around and chasing a chibi Van… Goddamn. That’s all I can remember. It was lighthearted and comedic in nature.

If you guys know something about this special or offer clues, please leave us a comment. Right now we’re scanning Share for the special. If we find it, we will fansub it.

UPDATE: I asked a close friend and said it was a manga short. He’s not entirely sure.

Kaibutsu Oujo OVA episode 03 is OUT!!!

At long last we finally finished Kaibutsu Oujo OVA!

Actually Mamiko finished the script a few weeks ago and the reason why we released this now is the SHiN-gx staff are prioritizing Yuru Yuri Season 2. *ahem* For those who didn’t know (or forgot), this is a joint project between Mamiko Subs and SHiN-gx Fansubs. The production of the script took a while because yukachi, Mamiko’s translator, was busy making a living.

Episode 03 — Princess Island. Hime and the gang are in search for their missing companions, and the clues led them to a mysterious island. Is this a trap set up by unknown forces? Or they’re on the island to spend some quality time (like, you know, hot springs, swim suits and, uh… smashing watermelons)?

Batch torrents are coming soon!

Enjoy!

Yuru Yuri Drama CD 02 is OUT!!!

But wait… Where’s drama CD 01? CD 01 will not be our top priority simply because there are no high resolution anime images of Akane, Akari’s big sister. Instead we’ll focus on the rest since their images are already available. Unless we missed Akane’s anime picture. If we did, link us a copy!

Drama CD 02 – “Kyouko and Ayano Alone in the Gym Equipment Room” features Yuru Yuri’s OTP (one true pair) Kyouko and Ayano. Yes, we said that. Kyou x Aya OTP. This is our first drama CD project and we use a very simple visual novel style approach similar to our Reo x Mai Diaries. Admittedly the style is a bit plain, but worry not! We’re gonna improve the style in the next drama CDs.

Please note that the dialogue box is softsubbed, so if you skip scenes, the box will disappear. It’s the limitation of the VSFilter and the only way to remedy this is we made multiple sequential boxes. Meaning if you jump, the box will disappear, but will reappear at a certain point.

Anyways, enjoy the drama CD, folks! There will more to come in the future. Oh and consider this a sweetener until season 2 starts this Monday.

Yuru Yuri Drama CDs — Not yet dropped

Just telling you guys that we’re still doing the drama CDs at a very slow pace. And to show you guys that we’re really doing them, here are a few unedited lines from the second drama CD a.k.a. Ayano and Kyouko alone in the gym equipment room (yummy!). Translation courtesy of Uichan.

Geez…
This door always gets stuck…
I’ll do something about it later.
I’ll have to bring it up at the student council.
Hey, are we done yet, Ayano?
If we don’t finish cleaning up here soon,
we’ll miss our lunch break.
I’ll get it open, just a second!
Honestly…
Why do I have to clean up the gym equipment room,
together with Toshinou Kyouko…
T-Together… alone with Toshinou Kyouko…
C’mon! How long are you gonna take?
With this kinda thing, you gotta take a deep breath…
H-Hold on!
And it’s done!
You see?
Don’t “you see?” me! That could disturb people!
But it got us in, didn’t it?
That doesn’t make it alright!
What would we do if the door broke due to your recklessness?
I’d give you the Buckingham penalty!
More importantly, let’s get cleaning.
There you go being reckless again!
I told you, it’s the Buckingham penalty if you break something!
Toshinou Kyouko!
That’s all of it.
Now, let’s get back to the classroom and eat lunch-
What?!
The door suddenly…
Could this be… a poltergeist’s doing?!
No, no. It was me.
Toshinou Kyouko, what did you do?!
I just thought it’d be neat to suddenly close the door.
That’s not neat at all!
Why are you always like this?!
I’m not that great.
That’s wasn’t a compliment!
Honestly… I can’t put up with you.
Let’s hurry back and eat our-
Eat our–
Lunch–

Please pardon the rough edges. We assure you they won’t be be present in the final version. The sad part is we get to enjoy the drama CDs first. :3 Also see: Looking for Fan Artists
