Regarding specials
2008-10-21 16:17
Now… I’ll explain it one more time, since you (I’m looking at you, suiton) seem to be too dense to understand the numerous explanations given.
Special 1 is not listed in the informational section on top of the site, since the that’s for the batch of the series. The special is not being worked on, because you’ve all been singing and dancing happily wondering when the batch would be released, and we’ve therefore focused efforts on that. Plus other things unrelated to TSR.
I would also like to point out that the header for our informational section on top of the site reads “Detailed QC-status”. Now, special 1 isn’t nearly ready for QC yet, hence, there’s no reason to list that there now, is it?
According to CD Japan, which seems reliable enough, the DVD for Special #2 is released sometime in November. We might do a release, because, as I’ve said several times before, WE DO NOT HAVE ANYONE ABLE TO TRANSLATE FROM JAPANESE TO ENGLISH FOR US. Is that clear enough? We can’t provide subtitles on our own, and therefore we depend on another group to do the translation, or finding someone who could help with the translation.
Now, the most likely event is that some other group releases their own version, and, based on the quality of that, we may, or may not, steal their translation and release our own version. Meaning that if we think their version is good enough, or better than anything we could have done, we would not release our own. I don’t care if you want to have everything from one group or not. If we can’t provide a better product, we won’t do it. Period.
I’ve also stated several times before that if we don’t say anything, nothing has changed. So since there hasn’t been any news about any of the specials, assuming the status is the same as last time isn’t such a bad idea. To summarize once more; if we haven’t told you anything, nothing has happened. We have not dropped anything simply because there hasn’t been updates.
TL;DR: We have not dropped anything. If we don’t post updates, there hasn’t been any.
Now STOP ASKING!
Also, as a final little note:
We are not actively looking for anyone to help, but send a mail to rye@eastblue.org or contact one of the operators on IRC (we live in #TSR@irc.rizon.net) if you are able to translate, and would like to help. A joint could of course also be considered. (Means less work for us, right?)
And no, suiton (and others), you do not have to recommend other groups that might be able to help, or groups you like. This is for people able to do the actual work themselves only.
Thanks for clarifying it all.
=D
It would seem that my confusion has caused a bit of distress among [TSR].
But please do not be offended by anything that I have said as it would seem that you may have taken it as if I was trying to be annoying on purpose.
In regards to Special #1 (and possibly) Special #2, it’s great that you guys are at least open to finish them, but only for the batch.
Again, I’d like to repeat that I’m not trying to annoy, troll, etc. I’m just curious because I’ve become more used to most fansub groups update their site more frequently.
Anyway, I guess I’ll just keep checking by the site every now and then to see if the completed batch torrent is released.
Keep up the work.

* Oh, and I see the site was slightly updated so that now we can see how many comments have been posted for each post to the site? That’s awesome.

The specials won’t be in the batch. The batch is for the series only.
Also, I don’t see a point in updating just to update. We’re slow. We get it. And we don’t care.
And lastly, the batch is scheduled as a christmas “gift”. So keep your pants on.

suiton, go home to Ayu-Fansubs where you belong as a celebrity. Leave all other fansubs comment sections alone.
ALONE.
FOREVER.
TL;DR: DISAPPEAR YOU USELESS PIECE OF ANAL SMOKE

I feel kinda sorry for suiton, reminds me of the dog in the corner that everyone kicks, but would miss if it was no longer there…
Great work on the subs btw, cant wait to finally finish watching this series with a quality release :-)

@PerfectlyNormal
So I would assume that the batch of the series would be available for Christmas?
>_<
NICE!!
And then we’ll be awaiting on those Specials….
=D
Thanks.

I think we can safely say, with 100% confidence, that the batch will be available a Christmas.

Christmas gift? In which year? 2142, maybe? This group is full of lazy assholes, i think you guys will NEVER EVER be able to do this batch file!

@Karakasi
“…lazy assholes” who are doing this for free out of their own time.
Since when do fansub groups/DVD rip group owe us anything?
They don’t. They don’t owe us even a second of their time. They’re doing this out of their own choice and doing it as fans for other fans.
>_>
/me slaps Karakasi with a large trout

And yet suiton is the one always asking for updates and bugging fansubbers about release dates. Ironic isn’t it?
