In order to keep the option of doing season 2 available, I felt I needed to fix this series. I fixed a few errors in the subs, and re-encoded to 10-bit. I also did the ED a little different this time, concentrating more on the video and less on the credits. I am still not sure if I will do season 2 or not, but this changes it from a definite “no” to a “maybe”.
soon to be dropped guaranteed
Yay!
How about SS for the dialogue and Mazui for the songs? Great show choice! This and Bakuman are my favorites this season. Looking forward too it!
nah, just go mazui all the way. i think that they’ve got the show under control, and SS isn’t always that great.
Mazui’s doing a good job so far so I’d say go with them for the sake of convenience.
yup, i prefer Mazui too
SS/Mazui sounds good, SS is guaranteed quality.
Coalgirls should give the white album blu-ray isos over to thora so they can do their version. They need Blu ray. Coalgirls encodes are good but need too much CPU.
White Album BDMVs are publicly available, and have been for months. THORA knows where to get them. In fact, they were going to do it but decided not to because the source was pretty terrible. But you don’t really care as you’re nothing more that a THORA fanboy troll.
Great News
Meh. Frankly I’ve found the show okay but that it. Last EP was too predictable the second half.
When you say “as my second show” does that mean you are only doing two shows total for the Fall season? Maybe I missed an announcement, but I didn’t see anything when I went back through the posts.
RE: the subs. I think Mazui is under-rated by many. They do a good job and there shouldn’t be much if any difference b/t SS and them.
So far SS’ oreimo has been a complete joke.
For example:
context: http://tri4.net/up/imgup685.jpg
Mazui: http://tri4.net/up/imgup684.jpg
SS: http://tri4.net/up/imgup686.jpg
There are many, many more issues with their subs as well. When asked about the above error on their forums, their defense was “because they are homonyms and context is ambiguous” (blackice).
Mazui’s oreimo isn’t perfect, but with a little fixing up it easily could be. They certainly have been getting better and better every season. Gonna have to see how SS pans out (their fortune arterial hasn’t been up to par either for me), but I’m feeling like I only thought SS was good because Eclipse was in front of the name for so long.
I checked out both Mazui and SS. Mazui is getting better, and SS tends to generally be good, but I would have to say some of the translation choices I prefer Mazui over SS. Example, Mazui uses “eroge” while SS uses “porn games”. Not really wrong, like translating anime to cartoon, but it just sounds… off… well, it’s your choice on what to choose.
Question: you said you don’t like season 2’s unless you did season 1 of a specific show. does it mean a second season for Ore no Imouto has been announced or something along those lines?
No. It means I’m not doing SnO:F because I didn’t do season 1.
@ningen
No, she meant she won’t likely just jump right in and do the second season of a show without having done the first season before.
This is your warning. Do that again, you’re banned.
I’ll leave the Mazui vs. SS vs. (Insert group here) to those who care about subtitles.
I really hope you do this series as getting a blu-ray rip from a source I trust is better than a share rip who I’ve never watched.
Thanks in advance and for all your other releases. Really appreciated.
Oo~
I look forward to this.
Getting banned for explaining what you meant?
Ugh, that’s really a nice attitude yout got there…
Btw, you changed “he” to “she” in my comment. Wtf is that!?
Dunno why you have to piss off people who are trying to help on purpose, but that’s a childish dick move and you should ban yourself.
Because I’m a girl. You’ll get banned if you continue referring to me as otherwise.
Use Shimizu’s subs, their are simple, good looking, and almost like SS’s and Mazui’s.
How about using both subs( track 1 “SS” and track 2″Mazui” for instance), it’s only a few kB were talking about per episode.
Replying to this discussion takes more energy ,than lets say extracting a sub and retiming it =3.
I can’t wait for this thank you!
@dymitr extracting a sub can be done by one line of code (lit.) but retiming a track from a TV > DVD/BD can take a while due to the difference in raws between the sources. Also, if SS and Mazui TL’d with different raws (although I’d assume both use TS encodes – let’s just assume there is a difference) and the TV is different from DVD/BD then each track has to be retimed from TV > DVD/BD for each subtitle track.
Please get rid of this misconception that releases = raws + script slapped on together.
Just wanted to add that I had watched episode 1 from every group for the sake of comparison and found Doki’s to be the most clear and (from what I can tell) accurate. Usually whenever SS is involved, I go with them without a second thought, but I would put them second to Doki’s translation this time around. I just wanted to put in a good word for them, since I don’t think you would normally ever consider them when a group like SS is available. I know I wouldn’t.
Agree with Nitemare. Doki’s subs are clearer than Mazui or SS for OreImo.
Please consider doing 1080p too, Thora is SLOOOWWWW….
pick mazui over ss, that would be great
Mmh … let’s see if Thoras’s version is good. If I don’t like it I’ll just add a 1080p version here myself.
Nice.
I was wondering if anyone was going to be doing the BluRay version for this series.
…but yea, let’s see how your release compares to THORA.
@ChrisK
That would be great! Honestly I think their release will be fine but they won’t finish it for months (they are still doing Rideback and they only just finished True Tears).
Kira is also doing this using Mazui’s subs, and their 1080p will have FLAC. I would prefer to get your release though.
No stay with Mazui subs, way better then SS. I guess Doki is a good alternative to Mazui. Hmm you all should do the regular 1080/720 release regardless of what THORA does.
Wow, great news!!! I’ll be looking forward to it. Thank you.
But, correct me if i’m wrong… the 4 OAV wont be aired, it’s only in the bluray?
@choco that’s correct
to bad im not black
The last ovas are in fact alternate endings =O
Awesome!!
perhaps you could consider using other subs besides mazui, because it seems that both kira and thora are using mazui’s, ie to avoid overlap as stated in the primary post
zomg yay, definitely getting 1080p for this!
Everyone seems to be really into the OreImo anime.
Too bad the manga didn’t get as much attention when it started.
Since Coalgirls are doing it then I’ll definately be looking forward to it 😀
More Kaori and Manami!!
Thank you, I will most definitely be getting your release now!
Focusing on a 720p only release due to THORA focusing on a 1080p only release is a good, mature decision in my opinion. One could even say that you being able to invest the time that would have been spent on the 1080p release in some other project is much more beneficial from a community point of view.
I also think it’s a good thing you went with Mazui’s subs. SS’ subs for this show didn’t quite reach their usual level of quality in my opinion, and their hardsubbing is a negative. Good luck!
Go with Mazui because:
1. The TL is a little better then SS. Yes, Mazui missied a few jokes in episode 1, but other then that, they’ve been spot on.
2. Doki will most likely do their own BD.
3. I said so.
@everyonewhohasn’tnoticedyet
From the info looks like they WILL be doing a 1080p release.
^Ahh, so the info wasn’t like that from the get-go?
ETA till you find out the BD’s are 1080i and not 1080p, would be really surprised if they bothered to fix up the credits and overlay them at 24p instead of 60i 🙂
@tormaid
“if they do 1080p only with FLAC, I’ll be doing 720p only to avoid oversub/overlap.”
@ar
Is it really all interlaced? The Amagami BDs were only partially interlaced but they look really good at 1080p.
@ano
At first under “video” they only had 720, now they have 1080 listed but haven’t updated the info below that.
Amagami BDs aren’t interlaced at all.
@tormaid
The fact that 1080 is listed doesn’t make the update note invalid…
So the logical step would be that the note still applies. Not the more farfetched theory that they forgot to remove it. 🙂
@coalgirls
Ok, Chihiro originally was saying that they were interlaced. I’ve been working with them and haven’t noticed any but someone had said that parts were. Guess they were wrong.
“By the way, these episodes are COMPLETELY UNCENSORED*. Not gonna do a 1080p version because the blu-ray is an aliased piece of crap. But at least it’s a bit sharper than the TV version.”
>aliased
Ah, sorry my bad. They are still wrong, those BDs look great.
