General moan...

2007-03-21T17:57:00.000+02:00

I feel ill, ill, ill, ill and as a result fairly grouchy >.< (and I don't like feeling grouchy either)

My head feels like it's about to be split apart by lots of tiny weeny hammers ( and I send curses to those who cursed me to be ill)

The painkillers have ceased to have an effect T_T

My throat feels like a parched bitter desert (and :O I'm becoming poetic now?)

(and before you ask, I'm a very bad patient - which is why I guess it's lucky that I rarely get ill)

Actually, I'm beginning to like whining now...

I've also noted I'm a lot meanier and less helpful when I feel ill. Thus, my plan to learn how to be evil might actually work if I feel ill more often... then again, I hate being ill so maybe not...

RAWR RAWR RAWR

Someone should really invent more effective painkillers...

or maybe I should just try getting drunk... might make the head feel better?

(Yes, I know feeling ill isn't really that bad, but I like to moan okay?)

You know you have had a bad week when:

1. Your house gets broken into and your livelihood gets stolen.
2. Your only suspects are your so-called friends.
3. It takes you two days to remember your damn gmail password.
4. You get a parking ticket for parking in YOUR OWN DRIVEWAY.
5. You get a letter from the state saying that you sewage pipe is broken, it's basically their fault, and you have 30 days to fix it, out of your own pocket.

At least my stomach is fine... I need it to stomach my life at the moment. I already have a blog for my outside life. You can find it on my myspace. I will post here when I can, but if you want the real juice, it's on my other blog. You can find that, add me, whatevr at www.myspace.com/aj_french

That's about as long winded as I can be at the moment. I got to get back to my Sherlock Holmes-esque search for the bastard that just pretty much took away my life. When I find him, you'll read about it in the papers. Make sure to check the obituary section.

Well to be perfectly honest...

2007-03-18T06:47:00.000+02:00

I accepted the invitation to join the blog as an author early early this morning - probably well before Suzuka ^_^
At the time, I simply had nothing interesting to say - as I had really just gotten up - and very soon after, I was called in early to work (in addition to my normal shift). I don't mind though, because I can't work tomorrow (which I look forward to every Sunday, as I get to work with my boss Mike who I <3) because I'm singing at a concert. This weekend has been crazy too, business wise. Friday was a normal busy Friday until everyone noticed the SUN OUTSIDE and then the phones rang off the hook, and two of our drivers didn't even show up for work!!! I delivered 25 pizzas Friday night and then 15 today. All in all, I made $300 these last two nights - well over $23/hour. I'm pretty pleased.
Thankfully, that sum means that I'll have more than enough spending money for my choir tour to New York in May and college tuition next week >.<

Yep, that's right, to be perfectly honest, I'm starting school back up this quarter and the quarter starts in 2 weeks. More than likely, it won't have any impact on my Quality Checking schedule, so don't freak out yet ~_^

Anyways, why am I making a blog on St. Patrick's Day at 10PM? Well, as the title says, to be perfectly honest: My friends suck.

Not only do half of them life more than 200 miles away, but the ones that live nearby were either already drunk by the time I called them or completely unavailable. So I guess I'm left on my lonesome tonight with a bottle of sake to share with no one.
I couldn't even convince my sister to go see a movie with me tonight - she said she had an upset stomach (but I know that means she just wants to finish her shameless romance smut novel tonight).

*sigh*

Sorry to be a bit of a downer in the end here. I hope I can find some cheer in anime - I downloaded 30 gigs the other day... so there should be something good in there somewhere. I've decided it's time I redouble my effort to catch up on "old school" anime. I've seen most of the big series already so I'm kind of picking through the 1985-2000 series again and seeing what I missed. Right now I've got Tokyo Underground, Slam Dunk, Earthian (*giggle*), Ocean Waves (a movie), Weiss Kreuz; and then in addition, I have some less-old-school-but-still-stuff-I-missed-anime, like Sunabouzu (was following Lunar's sub until it got licensed ;_;), .hack//Liminality (just never finished the .hack series), .hack//ROOT (got about halfway through and stopped - don't remember why), and then I have my current-anime: Chevalier, Death Note, Bartender (done? :O ), One Piece, Naruto and Bleach.

Oh yeah, and I'm also watching Studio 60, Numb3rs, 24, Heroes and The Unit (American TV drama).
Oh speaking of Numb3rs, I had a dream last night. I don't know how many of you know Numb3rs or even watch it (if any of you) - but I had this dream I was with Charlie and the cast of Numb3rs in Egypt digging up artifacts in an area full of angry muslims o_O

It was scary... not that they were muslim or anything, but they wanted to kill us.

This is what happens when American networks deprive me of my dramas for 4 weeks!!! No new episodes of those series for SOOO LONG ;_;

Okay, I'm going to go drink alone and watch some Slam Dunk or something.
Here's a cookie for reading the whole message, and don't tell the people that didn't that there was cookies at the end.

The old Animanda days

2007-03-18T06:20:00.000+02:00

Hi all Animanda staff members! Yanagi and murders, you should check your e-mail to accept the invitation, have a google account ready, and start logging in to post. That's easy!

For starters, I'm the only translator that's being alive since the days where Animanda was struggling for releases[there are 2 more translators, but they're too busy with their own personal stuffs]. I remember when I first join Animanda, they were only doing a joint sub with Doremi[what title was that? I forgot...]. So ish asked me this question, "What will you like to sub?". I answered shyly, "Anything."

Ok, I kinda regretted saying that, and because of that, Suzumiya Haruhi project was initiated[Actually it was suggested by Alu]. The first episode was happy translated by Pape, and subsequent 2-4 episode were translated by me. I remembered the pain whereby the dialogue was so longgggg...and I took 2-3days just to finish one episode. The ironic thing is, a.f.k. managed to release the episode 2 days after the Japanese air date, was kinda hit me hard.

Himawari Season 1 was also started about the same time. However, our translator pape was kinda bogged down with his personal life, thus the project was stalled until today. We apologise for that.

While I'm struggling to translate, out comes my angel, PG. Although she only agree to be a translation checker at first, ish brainwashed her and now she's become the official translator for Animanda and doing one of the super ultra popular anime[can't say the title]. I guess the QCers at that time heaved a really big sigh of relief as with the help of the TLC, the script accuracy has risen a lot. I thank PG for that.

In October 2006, we started out a new project, Zero no Tsukaima, which was initiated by me. It was going along fine, until trouble comes when ish has to leave for a week for holidays. Guess what? Work was stalled that entire week, no one was contributing to anything. At that time, I kinda hated the group for the lack of effort. Unfortunately, the two projects were still stalled even now, but at least it's still on track. [Negima Haru OVA wasn't spared either. Thus, I've decided to not translate anymore for Animanda till the group is ready.]

Why is Animanda struggling with the releases? Simple. Lack of staff.

Well, that's the old days of Animanda.

I guess I need not say anything more for the new Animanda. More new friendly staff, constant releases, maintaining our goal from the start, which is producing high quality subs and video to all fans. Thanks to all fans and staffs who were with Animanda for the past one year.

Next month is Animanda first anniversary. Care to leave your well-wishes for us? We've announced 2 new projects for April 2007 in the forums, so go check it out.

Suzuka

A use for the blog again!

2007-03-17T18:22:00.000+02:00

Okay, there's finally a use for the blog again :D

It's going to be random staff gossip and nonsense, including funny IRC logs I guess :P (which can be revealed to the public)

As Suzuka suggested we should have a blog to tell people all about our non fansubbing activities and such (I think that was the general idea, no?), especially since due to timezones and such we do miss each other every so often ^_^.

Anyway, let the blogging begin (wonder if you ppl. will remember to blog?)

I'll start by wishing everyone a Happy St. Patrick's day!!!

Go, go, go, the ultimate aim of this day for those who celebrate it, is to go out and drink as much Guiness as possible...

Er... the website...

2007-01-24T14:43:00.000+02:00

I keep forgetting to announce things lately (sorry >.<)

Anyway, this is an announcement to say that animanda's website has been unveiled (more or less, but still needs working on :O).

Thanks to Vici0usx and Shindo_hikaru for the website ^^ and keep up with the good work. Obviously the site still needs to be tweaked (makes mental note staff pages... I swear I wasn't the only one ...) and also updated...

Er... most importantly, I forgot to add the web address :O www.animanda.net

This also seems to spell the end of the blogspot... (I did like that... maybe I'll use it for rants instead :O)

Anyway, apart from that welcome to all new staff!!! And sorry for the lack of updates, being kinda busy. XD (but seems like I won't need to worry about it since you all seem to be updating for me Thank you!)

Finally, I'll just add a shout out to Zeldman... Although you didn't get a shout out on the release, this is sort of the same thing ne?

So, Zeldman: You're the greatest!

(apologies if I mispelt the name, but lacking sleep )

Matter closed...

2007-01-16T22:17:00.000+02:00

The announcement below was made just to clear up the fact that Animanda did not have an exclusive arrangement with them (or anyone else for that matter). If we do, we'd announce it here as well ^^. (So, please for anything involving us in the future, I suggest waiting for our official announcements, we do have them occasionally.)

Death-notes.com have commented that they do not have exclusive access to our subs, and that it was announced by someone who's english is not their first language, hence their announcement was mis-interpretated.

We'd like to move on from this issue, and we will not be commenting further on this matter. From our viewpoint, this issue is closed.

Thanks for reading,

Ishatar

(Edit: Both my posts in no manner are an attempt to bash the other party. Just clarifying our position, since I've been asked about this by many. Since this all seems to be some kind of misunderstanding/ misinterpretation, let's drop the subject and talk about something else, like when is someone going to give me some chocolate... *looks around for staff members to poke* )

Animanda is in NO WAY affiliated with Death-notes.com

2007-01-15T21:39:00.000+02:00

It has come to the group's recent attention that we have an "exclusive agreement" with the site Death-notes.com for allowing them to have "exclusive access" to our episodes. This agreement is completely FALSE and animanda is NOT affiliated with that site in any manner.

The only agreement we had was that someone from their site asked if they could upload our episodes for ddl on their site, we agreed. We allow sites to link or upload our episodes for ddl, provided it's free access.

All our subs are free and are fansubbed voluntarily in our free time. Any site which asks for payment for dl our subs does NOT have our permission. Animanda does not advertise for other sites or groups, we fansub because we enjoy it. I repeat, Animanda is in NO way affiliated with Death-notes.com and they do NOT have exclusive access to our subs; all our subs can be dl via irc and bt as usual.

Thanks

Random update...

2007-01-10T20:13:00.000+02:00

LOL

Okay, I've read your comments and rather than explaining to each person who asks, I'll make a random reply here.

First and foremost; for all of us, we fansub because we enjoy doing it and since we're all doing it in our free time, like most people, we'd much prefer to work on something we enjoy. There's no point in doing something which we don't like. As such, our projects are picked because we want to work on them. (But since all our series are/ have been done by others, as someone pointed out, go and watch theirs if you don't want to watch ours :) - it really is that simple ^^ )

Since we're all doing this in our free time, our release rates will vary, since real life takes precidence and is more fun (well sometimes).

As for the rather varied release rates for each project:

Suzumiya - Most of the episodes are more or less done, problem has been QC, (unfortunately I don't have that much time to sit and QC all the time as well as edit, so they've been stuck in QC for a while... sorry translator-san!!!) however, having recruited some more Qcers (welcome :D) things might happen sooner...

Zero - Same problem as Suzumiya, lack of qcers.

Himawari - Original translator is extremely busy studying at university in the evenings and working during the day (Ganbatte and Fighto!!!). Another translator kindly took over but has recently moved countries to study and won't have internet access for a while. In the meanwhile, one of our other translators has taken over (thank you!!) but since they're working on Death note and tl checking some other shows for us, so sorry but progress will be slow.

So, many apologies for the delays in some of the projects, and thank you to all those who don't mind the wait - Thank you!!! (I'm sure you all know who you are :))

While, I'm randomly rambling, I'd like to say a huge thanks to all the staff at Animanda - Thank you!!! - Thank you for putting up with me and let's hope 2007 will bring us another fun filled year!!! Also thanks for managing to give me something to occupy my free time with :p.

Finally, I know some of the staff are in their final year of studies now, so all I have to say to that is Ganbatte and Fighto !!! We're all cheering for you!!

And thus ends my ramble, thanks for reading.

Released: Death Note 12, Suzumiya 9 and a few others I forgot to mention...

2007-01-10T00:25:00.000+02:00

Hope you all had a great Christmas and from all of us at Animanda, we wish you a Happy New Year and a great 2007!! Rock on!!

Apologies in the delay of Death note 12 (I'm sure you all know why :P), but here it is (and look it's out just before 13 so still within schedule).

So, what do we have this week? Doppelganger Kiras!! Scary >.<. One was bad enough, but two? Ryuk has little to say this week except find Light's situation entirely hilarious... What situation you ask? Well you just have to watch it yourselves. At least, Ryuk won't be lonely anymore, someone has arrived to join him...

On the other hand, Suzumiya, like Light, has done some fast talking in this episode and has managed to bag herself... (well watch Episode 9 and you'll find out won't you :P)

Poor Kyon, he's busy doing some heavy manual work while Miraku seems to have found her new vocation as a model?! Nagata? Well, she just er... sits and reads I suppose ^^;;

Enjoy the rather delayed episode of Suzumiya, hopefully more will be coming along...

O_o and yes, I forgot to mention here and in the forums, that er Zero 06 (Xvid) and Zero 05 (h264) were released a couple of days ago ^^;; So er after some poking from certain members,

ZERO 6 [XVID] & ZERO 5 [H264] IS OUT!!!! GO AND GET IT!!!

There, it's announced now :D

Expect more from that end soon too!!

Happy days and enjoy!

h264 versions of Zero 03 and 04 out

2006-12-28T18:49:00.000+02:00

Hmm... we've had these versions for a while but I think we seem to have forgotten to release them ... (>.<)...

Anyway both h264 versions of Zero 03 and Zero 04 are now out so go and get them from the usual sources :P.

Also hope you all had an excellent Christmas and are enjoying your hols (for those who have hols!). I should also mention that yes we are subbing the Death Note Special (so you can all stop asking in the channel now :P) - Oh, and before you ask, it's out when it's out :P. And er some of the other series we're subbing should be coming out soon as well... unless I forget to release them again... and then they'll probably sit on the ftp for a while... until someone pokes me to remind me again ^^;;.

Anyway, have a happy hols!!!

Released Death Note 11

2006-12-20T11:16:00.000+02:00

Yay!!!!

Strawberries <3!!!

This week L gets to eat some yummy stuff!!! (He also seems to be having a very bad week so guess he needs to compensate with eating some nice food, to kind of cheer him up...) L, also has a rather dramatic moment with a set of cell phones and someone should really remind Light's dad that discharging himself from hospital is really not a good idea (without the doctor's permission too!! Please don't try this at home, okay?). Light and Ryuk seem to be unusually quiet this week, but guess someone special makes up for it :).

Err... incase you haven't worked it out yet... Death note Episode 11 is out :P. So have fun!!

(Sidenote: Next episode seems to be a re-cap?)

Heya!

It's that time of the week again... so er go watch :P.

Anyone feel like a game of tennis? And I don't mean a nice friendly, relaxing one... after all they're aiming for victory... maybe they're practising for a major tennis tournament, it definitely feels like it >.<. Ryuk better watch out! Balls literaly fly everywhere!

O_o.... puzzles. How many different sentences can you find and re-arrange? And there was a 4th message? Even Light didn't know that... and yay for milky milky coffee (or at least I'm assuming they're drinking coffee or maybe it's tea?). Shame on them though!!! Drinking coffee/ tea in a cafe and not having cakes or chocolates too? That's a sin!!!!! Especially after using so much energy...

And did you know?

Death Gods have red eyes... but also

Rainbows come in
Either very
Depressing times or very
Happy times of life.
And if you're
Noticeably kind and
Deserving
Sometimes you'll find a pot of gold at the end.

Wahh!!! Finally!!!

*Coughs*

Death Note 09 released. ^_^

So, what seems to be happening this week? Well, Ryuk finally gets to enjoy his apples once more, although he still seems to be taking a variety of interesting positions ^^;;. Light seems to have finally completed his exams and starts his first term at uni, and guess who he meets there? Things are definitely starting to get interesting... So, what's so funny this week, Light?

Okay, what you've all been waiting for, Death Note 08 is out!

Ryuk seems to be found in a series of interesting positions this week, and also seems to be doing rather a lot of exercise... poor thing, he better make sure he keeps up his daily apples intake or he'll soon lose all his strength....

Light on the other hand seems to be perfecting his writing, as usual. He also seems to have become a bit of a junk food addict and O_o he's into those kinds of things too?! And what's with the excessive laughter, has he been inhaling a little helium?

Releases distributed via BT, DDL or IRC.

the time has once more come for us to release Death note, so without further ado, enjoy Death Note 07.

So what seems to be happening this week? Light seems to be doing some seriously serious thinking, he just doesn't seem to stop... as for Ryuk, he's finding things even more amusing than normal? Has he eaten one apple too many? What's this? Someone who might have beaten Light at his own game?

Death Note Episode 1 v2's out

2006-11-16T17:33:00.000+02:00

To those of you who haven't noticed yet, we've decided to release a version 2 of episode 1, after a number of requests from you people regarding the tiny, yet unbearably sexy typeset which I know you all actually thought was cute. Anyhow, the new version has minimum changes in it (The style has increased in size).

And oh, this also 'inaugurates' our first v2 (I think). Let's hope we wont run into those again anytime soon. Thanks for watching our releases!

Released: Death Note 06... and Zero 05

2006-11-15T06:02:00.000+02:00

Okay, finally after a short delay in the usual release schedule, I'm pleased to say Death Note 06 is released, so enjoy!

What happens in this episode? Well, we meet a slightly unconvential character in this episode... a slightly different image to the one we've had of him ^^;; Not to mention having an extremely sweet tooth he also doesn't seem to have learnt any proper manners... Light also seems to be have sighted a new interest, while Ryuk seems to be fully entertaining himself with Light's antics... What on earth is going on? A lesson in writing??

As an additional surprise for those who have been waiting for this rather stalled project, we're pleased to say Zero 05 is also out! Apologies to all those who have been waiting for it, and see I did say it was going to be out, so here it is.

What has Louise and Co being up to here? Seems like someone important has come to visit them hence everyone is trying to look their best.... Although, in some cases they might be over dressing ^^;; Poor Saito also seems to be trying his best to please Louise, but it just doesn't seem to do any good... whatever he does, Louise just isn't amused... Poor Louise, why is she so worried?

For those who really want Death Note 01 with a larger font size...

2006-11-10T01:29:00.000+02:00

Heya,

This is just a general announcement that due to a no. of requests from various ppl. a DN01 with a larger font is available. Since we don't actually know the number of people who want a copy of DN01, only difference being font size increased to the size of those of episode 02 onwards and a less filtered encode, this version is only available to those who specifically request a copy and will be sent via irc. (Unless, we get a large body of ppl. who request for it to be available via BT).

So, if you want a copy pm Ishatar or animorc on irc. Also, thanks to animorc for making a re-encode just so the episode has a larger font, and making it available to those who want it.

Somehow, sunday arrived without me knowing how that happened. Anyway, good news is that Death Note 05 is out for you all to go and watch :). So enjoy!

Hmm... what can I say? There seems to be a few secret messages scattered around the place this week. And Light seems to be trying out a new fashion style this week, as usual he's been plotting away and for once even Ryuk's amazed at something...

Grab the episode from BT, DDL or the bot in the chan.

Hmm... for the 4th week running in a row on the same day (yes, I know some of the posts state a different day of the week but I assure in my time when I write this it always has been a sunday, just at different times) Death Note 04 is out, so guess you better go and get it.

This week I get to welcome a few more new members of staff to Animanda, Breeze and knz, welcome :). Hopefully we can definitely start catching up on some of our older series. As a side note, we welcome any experienced QCers to the team, we're currently in need of a few more :).

So what have Ryuk and Light been up to this week? Ryuk seems to be putting his eyes to some excellent use, whereas Light has been up to some extremely busy scribbling this week...

On a side note, this episode has a lot of horrible typesetting, and I'd like to congratulate the typesetter on a excellent job and for all the staff for putting up with me ^^ - (and hope the next episode is nicer :p).

Heya,

as the title suggests Death Note 03 is out and ready for your enjoyment. So I guess I should say go and watch it :p.

Hmm... I wonder if Ryuk visits the dentist? He has such nice sharp teeth he seems to like displaying throughout this whole episode... but then again apples are hard so guess he needs those teeth! Also on the subject of apples, have you noticed that Ryuk only seems to eat RED apples? I mean there are green and yellow apples too, so why doesn't he eat them? Well, I think I've finally figured it out!!! It helps to make his eyes sooo red (you'll see what I mean). Anyway, Light and Ryuk seem to be having a few more intense conversations... and I better shut up now... So go and watch!

Released: Death Note 02

2006-10-16T01:28:00.000+03:00

Heya,

First of all I like to thank everyone for their comments on the last release. We've taken note that the typesetting font may have been too small for some, so in episode 02 we've increased the font size slightly. Hopefully, the font size is a lot better for all of you. Secondly, we've played around with the filters for the raw so hopefully the quality of the raw has improves slightly. Unfortunately the actual raws for Death Note aren't too great and there won't be any HDTV raws for this series.

Secondly, I liked this opportunity to welcome 2 new members to the team Hyperworm and Alternity. Welcome to Animanda and I hope you have fun :). Also, liked to take this opportunity to welcome previous members who I hadn't welcomed properly and to thank everyone for working so hard! Thanks!

So Ryuk seems to have found something nice in the Human world, apples, nice red juicy ones! Light on the other hand seems to have found a new hobby... and who's this mysterious person?

As per usual, our releases are available from BT, DDL or the bot in the chan.

Enjoy

Released: Himawari! Episode 03 and 04

2006-10-09T23:01:00.000+03:00

Ahem... yeah, I nearly forgot we were doing Himawari!. Progress has been slow to say the least >.<. Anyway, here's episodes 03 and 04 out (finally <-- Yay!)

Seems like it's an exciting time for Himawari, first there's a race against the boys' school and then a journey through a booby trapped mansion... Let's hope she doesn't get too lost!

Released new project: Death Note Episode 01

2006-10-09T03:17:00.000+03:00

Okay, I'm pleased to unveil our new project for this season (and the only new project we'll be taking on board this season): Death Note.

Death Note Episode 01 is out as of today! Enjoy!

Hmm... do I really need to explain what Death Note is about? Probably not, but let me just advise you not to upset Light if you see him anytime soon, you never know but your name might end up written somewhere you'd rather not have it...

And amazing, we're actually releasing before episode 2 is aired... this feels odd...are we ill?

Available from BT, DDL or the Bot.
