Quick Status Update

I just finished timing Episode 6 and figured I would go ahead and tell people. To the left is a screenshot showing my proposed schedule for timing the next group of episodes. If I can stick with it I'll begin scheduling the rest.

I talked with the translator this morning (this evening for him). Mostly checking in on how holidays are going, but we did talk about getting episode 6 translated. Unfortunately for you guys, he's going on a trip to Tokyo until January 3rd, and will be unable to work on anything until then. Fortunately I should have more episodes ready by then (plus the movie) so we can hopefully put out a consistent release for a little while.

The Promo for episode 6 will be released once I have a translated script for the episode. From there you can expect the episode no later than a week, as we edit and QC things so they read like proper English (unlike this blog post). This is our policy with all of our promos and episodes.

Last thing. We were asked in the comments last post about torrents. The answer right now is no. I just don't have the bandwidth to seed, nor the money for a seedbox right now. That said if anyone does and wishes to make a torrent they are more than welcome to, and encouraged to send us the link. We'll gladly add it to our Release page and write up a post about it on the front page.

So much for a quick update. I'm off to go rip VOBs off disk 2 so I can start timing episode 7. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone is having/had a good Christmas/Dec 25. No new release today, but we're going to try and get something out soon. I promise we may go many months between updates, but it's due to real life time constraints that is keeping us busy. If we were to call it quits (hasn't even entered my mind) I will post on here to let people know that they can go ahead and remove us from their lists.

I've posted on here before about some of the reasons for delay, but now I'm pleased to explain my behavior in not getting timings done. About a week ago I graduated college with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. For a good chunk of this fall there was not enough hours in the day to get both my school work and my work work done, let alone my hobbies. Well that's finished. I've started working at my real job, and timing episodes again. Episode 6 should be timed early this week, and I hope to get back on my original goal of timing an episode a week. That in no way means that we will have a release each week, but that should eliminate a major bottle neck.

So once again, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
