Failure.

2008-11-01 23:59

Failure. A word that describes the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, opposite of success.

Failure. A word that describes an object, person or endeavour in a state of failure or incapable of success

Failure. A word that describes the termination of the ability of an item to perform its required function.

Failure. The english language cannot describe TSR with one word any better.

Rebirth. We startet out pretty great in my opinion. Fairly regular releases. Good video quality. Some v2 and v3s, but hey, we had never before done anything like this. I have to say I am pretty proud of our releases. That was the beginning of TSR.

Frenzy. And so we managed to finish the complete Death Note series. The first group to complete the whole series in English. We were high up in the sky! When looking back it all seemed so easy. So we decided to do it all once more. But this time we wouldn’t settle for less. Ordered chapters, alpha-timing, even better quality, double quality checks and whatnot. As I said; we were really up high. That was what should have been the end of TSR’s Death Note work.

Doubt. As we started on the batch-rework we soon realized what we had done. The work morale soon disappeared, and work started to slow down. So slow that it soon stalled completely. We lost interest. Death Note was not fun anymore, and we were sick and tired of working on it. This is was the first sign of our failure.

Silence. Weeks and months passed by. Our Death Note work had as much activity as your generic american ghost town. People started to get more and more impatient and nagging in our IRC channel. After a while I just tuned it out and responded in a fairly cruel way. Unfortunately people didn’t seem to care that much about my responses and slowly I lost interest in that too. This was the death of TSR.

New World. The fight between Kira and his pursuers finally comes to an end. In the same fashion we have decided to let Death Note go. I know we promised a release in time for christmas, and I regret that we have to let you down. Death Note and TSR is taking up too much time in our lives and we are not going to have the same enthusiasm as before ever again for this project. TSR might return some time for another project but from our mood right now that doesn’t seem likely. This is the failure of TSR.

We are sorry…










…that we lied. Because we have finished the entire batch! Death Note is complete!

Torrents can be found at: NyaaTorrents
The bot in #TSR on irc.rizon.net should be updated in some time.

We hope you enjoy this full batch of Death Note. Although we didn’t enjoy the making of it so much at the end we are going to look back at the work with pride. On a side note; 1 of November 2008 is exactly one year after when we first published an episode of Death Note. A year is a long time, but rest assured, this is quality! Good night.

  4. Thank you so much for your determination and all of your hard work in this project.
    In theory this should be in awesome quality, so I’m really looking forward to check it out.
    Btw, I see that you atm only have 1 seeder. You really should try to find some more people to start seeding it, so that the torrent will speed up a bit. Maybe even some IRC bots, but that would probably be a bit harder.

    Again, thanks and I’m off trying to get it (which will probably take a while)

  5. Torrent says “Fully Reworked” does that mean the faggotry that is Alpha Timing has been removed and replaced with something actually readable?

  6. Thanks for the release guys.

    Would of took the time to hit up the singles but like you, I lacked that motivation, and just waited for the batches. Appreciate the hard work as always and hope for the best in the future for TSR.

    We have removed some of the alpha timing. But because alpha timing is a godly gift from the holy shinigami the episodes still contains many alpha timings.

    If you don’t like it, stop using VLC faggot!

  8. I use MPC, and Alpha Timing still sucks.

  11. IRC bots only happen if someone bothers enough to provide any. Right now we have one, but we’re not entirely sure who owns it any longer, since he only dropped once a loooooong time ago.

    Also, we don’t really like XDCC bots, as it’s horribly inefficient compared to a well-seeded torrent.

    And yes, the torrent only has a single seeder at the moment, since we don’t have super bandwidth, and wanted to release it on our “anniversary”, instead of waiting and distributing it between the staff, so all could seed.

  12. hmm.. tiny font is tiny, guess I’ll have to force a different subtitle style if I want to watch this from a distance. a bit inconvenient, but whatever. maybe keep this in mind for your next release.

    other than that I’ll can the whining, alpha-timing is just a matter of taste anyway. the files I’ve downloaded so far look very promising, I can’t wait to watch this in its entirety. good thinking to use ordered chapters so this fits on 2 dvds in high quality, too. thanks in advance for all your hard work. as a veteran fansubber with experience in all steps of the process except for translation, I can certainly appreciate how much energy you had to put into this.

  16. “Failure. A word that describes an object, person or endeavour in a state of failure or incapable of success”

    There’s a period missing at the end of the sentence. AND THAT’S WHAT YOU CALL QC?!

    Thx, for the batch^^ I haven’t seen your first version but I’m looking forward to this one.

    I like the font size. What size is your monitor? I watch all of my series etc. on my 32” TV and the size is perfect.

    Also, softsubs. Use whatever size you like.

  19. I watch them on my 42” from across the room. Not a problem reading it. Of course, since it’s softsubbed, I just have to click a button on my remote, and I can adjust it up and down as I please.

    Anyways, I thought the font size was very nice.
