Otenba News

[ XviD ] & [ H.264 ] & [ IRC ]

My name is Sumi, and I approve of Ushio's maid outfit.

That is all.

Guys, guys.

Our encoder had a house fire. Srs. No lies.

But um, then there was also holidays and exams and... Well whatever. Happy New Year. We'll figure it out, eventually.

This episode's quip:

<@Touko> I love how the club is formed, and Kiyori is there anyway.  "Observer" my ass.  She just wants to find out if girls taste like jam buns.

RE: This.

Sumika: "And here you'll see, my first kiss was with Kazama a skeleton Nagato Yuki (KYON-KUN DENWA) Ultraman... okay, so it was a freaking MASK."

Om-nom. This chapter again. Greeeeat chapter.

For those yet unaware (where were you again?) this is simply a re-release of the February release from the magazine Shoujo Sect originally was serialized in. Meaning that, while there's no new content, it's now been done with tanky scans.

And before anyone raises inquiries on it, yes, it was discussed with doki-doki, and no, they did not care to have their tag on it as they have officially disbanded. Instead we simply opted to put in the credits for their contributions (which was effectively base translation) on the inside slip.

Otenba henceforth only will support this version... consider it a "final" one.

Oh. And the comments thing... uhhh. *points at AoyamaMotoko* I've told the proper sources to fix it... :( If you really want to flame, compliment, or w/e comment you can use the contact field. That should... still work. Yeah.

Apparently, Ushio really is clueless. After all, who goes to a convenience store with a bouquet of flowers? NOT ODD AT ALL, NO.

Oh, and yes, we won't ever catch up to airing, since our raw airs about a week late anyhow. So guess we're really not cutting into CR's profits after all...

Time for staff quips.

[19:34] <@Touko> Sumi, write me fanfics starring Bun Eating Girl.
[19:37] <@Hitsugi> But Sean, whatever am I to do with the token-straight in a school which has heteronormativity turned off?
[19:38] <@Touko> Hot hot Kiyori/Bun porn, of course.  Theirs is a forbidden love.
[19:38] <@Hitsugi> Ohh.
[19:39] <@Hitsugi> Kiyori + Yakisoba bread = OTP

The next day, our drill is not to be deterred:
[16:36] <@Touko> Adam, write me hot hot Kiyori/Bun porn.
[16:39] <@YT> Sadly Kiyori had unprotected bread-sex and now has a bun in the oven.

I think this is a running gag now: As the Bun Turns.

Oh! And yes, we figured out what's wrong with the new posting system, with the fact that it's now catching everything as spam. We're trying to correct it now, so please be patient, or otherwise visit us at #otenba-quality@irc.rizon.net!

edit: Turned off the problem plugin for the time being.

 Right so.

No, we haven't forgotten about the Shoujo Sect OVA. It will be done; likely sometime around our birthday, the Anime Gods willing.

Um, mostly, this was a sort of impromptu get-together, when started out saying how we'd like to do something this season, and then we kinda realized how much we were raging over everyone using CrunchyRoll's stuff for this show... and just regurgitating and regurgitating and... well, you get the idea. I mean, really, there's like what, 7 groups on this show, and not a damn one of them were using their own subs? Or even pretending to do TS? Get a life and gb2/failrippingDVDs/.

Editor for this project has worked on our Marimite 3rd OVA releases as well as some work for another group for another yuri series that was totally underrated a few years ago. Timer new to the group, but not to the scene. Typeset by yours truly. Regarding the encode: the guy running it said that even after comparing all those raws, the 720ps weren't worth the effort. That said, I don't really care to hear the whining. QCs are awesome as always, some of our true-blue vets taking the show.

Oh, and [otenba]Shinobu, our new bot, would love to meet you. If you're female, anyway. And won't get in her way to reach [otenba]Momoko. And let me tell you, she's fast when it comes to pretty girls... (Read: The Shinobu bot is capable of supporting anime episodes; Momoko's been regulated to manga-only duty.)

So that you're not concerned, we've already got the rest of the episodes into edit/QC mode. We're not dropping this. And no, it isn't affecting my desire to work on the Shoujo Sect manga, either. It's hard when you have to scan and edit all these pages as one person. It's a time-drain, and is frankly exhausting. Hopefully someone might step forward to help out? Well, anyway, doing it for posterity mostly.

Oh, and some final quips regarding Sasameki, courtesy our friendly, neighborhood spiral QC:

[05:21] <@Touko> Kiyori proves she's the token straight by begging for delicious sausage.

& when mentioning we'll finally be able to move on to ep2:

[13:48] <@Touko> Then we can move on to the 2nd episode in the saga of Mopey and her crush, Clueless.

Late bus is late.

Enjoy anyway, and wish me luck in settling into my new apartment... I've already managed to nearly kill myself because I work a mostly sendentary lifestyle (lol callcenter) and tried to lift stuff way too heavy for me.

Well, however it works. Episode 3 raw is out, and we are working on that with a few less things in the way. (Like me learning some AFX, and the moving... and yeah.)

*cue whining*

Episode 02 - [AVI XviD] & [h264]

I have had quite literally the week from hell, guys. So please, I'm begging each and every one of you, enjoy these releases. It will make it healthier for everyone involved. -_-

Big huzzah for another Shoujo Sect release, and of course the aforementioned oneshot we swiped picked up from Lililicious, Together with Master, also know as Goshujin-sama to Isshou. It's cute and... furry. At least, well... yeah, it's really kinda furry, no matter how you look at it. BUT STILL CUTE IN ITS OWN WAY. Gosh. Stop looking at me like that. :(

Still hiring photoshop editors. And oh yes, Otenba will be picking up Marimite 4th come January. It is currently undecided if this will be a joint with Lililicious or not. We do, however, need a dedicated encoder for that particular project; our current one will be too far bogged down to assist us. So please, apply in IRC by PM'ing a staff member. We look forward to meeting you!
