The hell else am I supposed to do? It's midnight where I live, there's literally nothing else to do. I'm blogging here. Why? Well, aside from randall being a slave driver, I'm bored.
Therefore, I reach out to those of you that reply to entertain me.

I just finished my first week of teaching prac. The whole week was spent teaching primary school kids music.
I took a year 1 class the other day, and when I said 'form a circle', one girl came up and attached herself to my leg. I had to tell her 'no, no, we don't need to hug to form a circle, just make a circle'.
...
I've got another 4 weeks of this ._. |

I'm Paul from Canada, a retired Author. I've only been at this about 4
months now, and I've hit the ground running. I'm only really getting around
to visiting all the forums now. I still have a lot to learn but I'm getting
there.
All the best,

As usual, we are still looking for new staff. what are you needing? randall
@goomuloo: Welcome to Ayu, Paul :D
@laharl: Japanese translators definitely, website GFX designer and AFX/TSer Jourgenz
It's test.
I could't post a message... laharl
I might be able to do the Japanese translator part. I have been studying Japanese for about 3 or 4 years. I can read it well but I can't speak it to well. When I watch anime I fell like I can only get only around 80% of what they say. so I don't know if you want my help. I am trying to get better. randall
@laharl: sure, you can actually improve your Japanese by working with one of our translators as well. If you're interested, do hop on to #Ayu-Recruits @ irc.rizon.net and poke YoshiZumi suiton
Thanks so much for Minami-ke! |

martino's edit: OK, so the corrected version is out, where the CRC should be 88AC6711. If you have downloaded the corrupt file, then you can just torrent the new one over it and let it overwrite the corrupted blocks, thus saving you from having to download those 233MB again.
Also for those wondering, 14 is being worked on, and will be released when it is ready. Therefore stop whining. Thanks. |

What is "14"? I can't get it...Btw, I'm still download your Baccano, keep up your good work :D/ CP
14 = a special of some kind I think - newly aired.
Thanks for the up! Susan
"14" is actually the first episode on an OVA, isn't it? Or extra episodes only released to DVD.
Thanks for the update! I was pretty sure that you guys were working on it, but it's nice to know for sure. =D Take your time! It'd be cool, even, if you guys released it after you finished the DVD eps. DesoNoto
Thanks for another episode. Maybe I should watch this since mostly everyone says it's amazing. :P Arc
Hmm, what kind of recruits are you looking for? Just translators and typesetters or other things? martino

We revived! Server-wise. Why it took so long? Simply because there are useless techs who ate money from us but didn't know how to get things fixed. Not one, not two, many techs/companies -_- Waste of money seriously. Sigh
Anyway, things should be up as normal as it can be.
Torrents and the tracker are working as usual, so just run your torrent again to get it working.
While the server was down, all our fansub work was put on halt as well, so now we shall get back on our foot again, give us some time, it's a busy period for most of us now.
We'll update again if there's anything :D |

At least it is back now. Still, it was surprising to see it down again. And I saw a Fedora Core page instead of Ayu-Anime earlier 0_o . Does Ayu use a linux server? Usually linux servers are good... then again... garbage in, garbage out... Marek

D'oh! Ayu has died! Long live Ayu! [or words to that effect] Without any pressure, keep up the good work! Skittles
shouldn't you finish the season before releasing the dvds? [P]ako
@Skittles, uh, we were *like* caught by the DVD releases (Vol 6 eps. 11-12 was released a week ago). So, it's kind of pointless to keep doing the TV version, we are switching to DVD. joe
wow, never thought you would really answer my question, i hope i was not annoying you with it. dont wanne bitch or something. Thanks for the status info. Well dvds are superior to tv versions, so its only natural.

Cool. A big thanks to you guys!!! Santa
Thanks for the release. Bero Thud
Waaaay better than ... anyone else. guardian
Same as Zan. Didn't even think of watching any of the other groups releases. Will wait till you guys release it WillTRiker
Thanks for the release from me as well.
Question if I may. I just noticed (can't believe I missed it) that there is a kind of 2nd season of Minami-ke called Minami-ke Okawari. Any chance you'll be doing that one also? r0b3rt
Quite muchly appreciated. suiton
Watched Episode 07 a few times today!

Is this for real. I'm dreaming! Thanks so much! Toyu-chama
@WillTRiker Okawari will be delayed until season 1 is finished. As far as I can tell, Okawari will also become part of the Ayu projects. We are doing the best we can to give the Ayu goodness to enjoy with your family and friends. Enjoy Ep 7 ^^ Darc
ty for the release of minami ke guys great work keep it up Sovran
Great release as always, Ayu the BEST! ^_^ WillTRiker
Woot!, that's good to hear Toyu-chama and ofcourse I understand that you're finishing up season 1 first. I'll be keeping an eye on you guys. suiton

Come on, [Ayu]. I'm sure you guys are fully aware of how many "loyals" fans out there are waiting for more Minami-ke goodness from you guys.
=) Virtual_ManPL
Thx AYU TEAM !!!
Always the best quality !!!
I'm, waiting for your releasing Okawari too xD dagh
When it comes to Ayu, it's worth the wait, even if other groups starts to release DVD versions. Ayu beats that quality with normal raws anyway XD Localhost
Good stuff. High quality translation and video. Much better then some groups who like to purposely mistranslate for "lulz" mousse
Très bien!! ^^

Much thanks. As others have stated, I am very grateful you guys are doing high quality fansubs and not the goofy 4chan/wapanese/kiddie job a certain other group did on this series. Philo
lol Nick, "4chan/wapanese/kiddie job" that was awesome. The voiceover on the last episode took the cake, it ruined the whole episode for me. AYU is superior in many ways! thanks AYU! Huhu
Philo, are you honestly upset with a dub over the warning message at the start? If you are LOL ToxicCookie
He must have thought it was a really important part of the show.XD Ayako is really not all that bad, they're alot better then some groups out there, not this one, but hell, who is? Philo
It´s not that i got upset, it just sucked really, the subbing was great but i couldn't get that voice out of my head, i wanted to punch pillow covers filled with bunnies. Nick
Agreed with Philo. Anyone who ends a comment with 'If you are LOL' strikes me as the immature type of person that would enjoy that sort of shit to begin with. While Ayako did do an overall good job, its also very obvious that their subbing is not very literal at all times, where as Ayu has done a very good job in that respect. Personally, I could live with the retarded fake soft subs on the first N episodes, but actually modifying the the audio track? And I believe those episodes in which they did had over all slightly lower quality audio as it was rencoded. (Just slightly less dynamic range) Philo
Temper with the Audio!? that should be a huge taboo for fansubbers. Ayako does some goofy stuff and most of them are kind of funny, and a lot of them are inside jokes, theres nothing wrong with that, but tempering with the content such as Audio, thats just wrong, i know that the opening is the same in all of the episodes, and that it really doesnt matter, but its still part of the episode. Its as if, i were a fansuber and i sing the opening change the audio track and add my voice during the opening, it would not be funny but it would ruin it for you, plus i sing pretty bad, it would be disastrous. anyway, were getting off-topic, Ayu thanks for minami-ke in adult quality. Toyu-chama
Ooooh Adult quality. That sounds kinda naughty~ :3 Fukt Logik
Man, all they did was dub over the opening warning to stay three meters from the T.V, it's not like they did something to the actual episode, if you didn't understand the message the first 11 times, then you are beyond help. But yeah, I found the dub messages from the final two eps less than funny, however the previous 10 mistranslations of the warning were epically funny. Hentaimaster

I know things are going slow on our end, some members of our staff are on vacations, for example. But we are working. All of you know what Baccano is about, so there is no reason for me say anything about this episode (like I had done that with any series). So...
Happy leeching and archiving!

Thanks for the update and the new episode! CP
Thanks guys, saving these for a back to back watch ;-) DesoNoto
Yay, I'll archive these. I think I should finally start to watch this because I've heard so much good stuff about it. Thanks so much and hope everyone who is on vacation is having a good time! :D Xiayohen
Just to let you guys know there are some leechers, like me, who truly appreciate what you guys do for us by subbing these animations with high quality. Many thanks! Thorn
nice release guys keep up the good work =/ hope you have a productive year cyruz
Yay, time to rewatch. Thanks a lot for the release! psych
... and I'm back. I've been home less than 24 hours, but I'm getting stuck into Minami-ke right now.
For those wondering, Okawari is well in the works, with TLs for the first ep done and the 2nd in progress. Virtual_ManPL
Thx4this, AYU TEAM !!!
@psych: Many ppl waiting for Minami-ke Okawari ;) ToxicCookie
Please disregard the idiotic comment, MOST of us are very grateful for what you do, and I for one don't care how you go about it, or how long it takes. Thanks for your continued hard work. r0b3rt
...You can't finish something before starting it. That's illogical. :/ Boomy
@rob3rt finish the first season before starting the second one [P]ako
@Boomy, the translator is just translating the second season. He's done with S1... there is nothing wrong with getting some work done, am I right? thezzbiszz
Yeah!!! That mean all 13 Eps in SS1 already translated and now waiting to encode and typesetting...But we have to wait right? r0b3rt
I knew what you meant. I just enjoy being difficult. ;p [5]0119
Good to hear the news. It's worth waiting for quality releases so just take you time. R
Are you guys planning on releasing subs of the Baccano! DVD Special episodes as well?? |

After much, much, much delay, we bring you Minami-ke ep 6. I can't remember what it's about (that's an indication of how long ago I worked on it <__< )
2 more episodes should follow, but for eps 9 onwards, you guys will need to wait until the 21st of January, the day after I get home from holiday =D |

*WAI WAI*
I was so hoping you guys would finish this project, thank you!! <3
r0b3rt
Yippee! Thank goodness I didn't have to turn to Ayako to get this series... cyruz
Awesome, thanks for your hard work! B-Kun
Alright! I though that I would have to go Ayako to get the rest of this series! Thanks! Macca
I too am relieved I don't have to turn to Ayako for this.
Appreciate the effort, two more episodes before your return on the 21st should be perfectly fine...
One question though:
I'm guessing you won't start with the other version of Minami-ke until you finished this one, or am I wrong? psych
We COULD get started on it, but it's unlikely that we'd release any episodes of Okawari before this series is done. Kai
that's coo
i wouldn't want to watch the 2nd season before finishing the first anyway. suiton
Hey! Thanks!!
This was unexpected considering how long it has been. But I'm glad you guys released it! Thanks so much! Keep up the great work, and of course, I will seed the file for a while. .tomi
Why was the website down?~~ Santa
Way to go, Ayu! Thanks for the release. desu
Okawari isnt the 2nd season right? It's just another version, right? That's what I heard anyway... suiton
Minami-ke: Okawari is a retake on the Minami-ke anime series. suiton
* Sorry for the double post. No edit button here.
"2 more episodes should follow, but for eps 9 onwards, you guys will need to wait until the 21st of January, the day after I get home from holiday =D"
Good to hear that 2 more episodes will be flying in soon, but bad news that 9~13 will need more waiting
T_T
I don't mind though. [Ayu] does the best job out of the groups doing/did this series. Darc
thats because [Ayu] are pros have a awsome holliday!!!!!!!! ty for the release!!!! fraubau
definitely worth the wait.thanks for this! suiton
Wow! I just saw the RAW episode 01 for Minami-ke Okawari and I have to say that it looks promising. The animation looks better, the music different but I think I'll like it, and the ecchi was awesome...it's all over the place!
It just makes me that much more anxious to see 7+ for Minami-ke and then Minami-ke Okawari.
=) [P]ako
@ .tomi, some weird stuff between the onboard RAID controller and the OS. Oh, and some dead drive and a DOA replacement. :x Marek
Thank you! :) [5]0119
Thanks, and have a great holiday! suiton
Uh oh...Advertisements/spam?? Sin no Aria
Why did someone post an ad here? -_- [P]ako
The spam is gone. Let's go back to the anime. suiton
Nice one [P]ako!
=) antigod
amazing serie you all just gotta see it!!! i saw it all the way to the last eppisode and i loved it!!! Teveburge
I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I need some feedback. Do you think extended auto warranties a good deal?
Thanks in advance for your input. ToxicCookie
Wow, random comment is random, seek advice elsewhere this is where we stroke Ayu's ego by telling them how great they are, which is entirely true.
Thanks for the subs Ayu, great as always, did I mention great? Skittles
i luzled because this anime is already in it's second season psych
I 'luzled' because someone fails at using the English language and believes that Okawari is a second season. Anon
looking forward to your releases, the Ayako subs are full of mistakes >_> Skittles
@psych i lulzed because it's bascially the same thing suiton
It's not the same thing. It's very similar in tone, but the animation is different (a little), the OP and ED is different...but the stories are very similar in style. ToxicCookie
Either way more Minami-ke is a good thing, and now that Ayako has dropped it due to lack of a translator for the project Ayu is currently the only hope, even though I would have been archiving your releases in the first place, but it still means no subbed Okawari until Ayu finishes the first season. thezzbiszz
Ayako just Dropped the next Season of Minami-ke (Minami-ke Okiwari) So when you guys finish subbing Minami-ke, will you guys sub Minami-ke Okiwari also? I hope the answer is Yes, now matter how long I have to wait until you finish the first season :) Toyu-chama
Since no one has answered the last question, I will XD. Yes, Okawari will be on hold until Season 1 is done. Everyone is putting in their best effort to make the Ayu high quality releases of Season 1. I'm sorry to hear that Ayako dropped Okawari, but you can rest assured that we will be working on it as soon as Season 1 is finished. LOLI-SHOTA PUNCH~! anon
in february you mean? suiton
@anon
Um, no? [Ayu] finish today or even tomorrow. Whenever they finish, they will release it. It could as well as be Februrary or maybe March, April, May, June, etc.
@Toyu-chama
Thanks for the update. I'm glad that [Ayu] has plans on doing Okawari as well. Sin no Aria
One way or another, I think all of us are looking forward to Ayu's releases. I went to my local store to get a second box and Vol 1 of Higurashi... They sold their other copy... And the store is closed now T_T. Now it will be harder to get anime... And say, what is Minami-ke like? I've been curious but haven't had time to check it out. Anyone got a quick synopsis? (I might have asked this before, but my memory is kinda...) suiton
Stop being lazy and go look it up at AnimeNewsNetwork.com Sin no Aria
Sorry, perhaps I should have been more clear with my words. I already read the info on ANN and AniDB. However, I was more wondering of whether it was like Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, or any other series or if it was completely different. I'll probably watch it anyways since I like Ayu's subs, but I just need some help prioritizing. ToxicCookie
Christ man it's 250MB and 20 min of your time, just watch it. No one can tell you what you'll like, but IMO, yes it's good lighthearted humor. Sin no Aria
-_- What happens when your HDDs only have 10 mb left total.. It isn't like I can DL it right away. Not until I get a new HDD. Which is why I need to prioritize and figure out if I want to watch something now or not. I have my reasons for not doing certain things. Just forget I said anything, I'll see if I can find anyone offline that is willing to actually give an explanation. desu
Minami-ke is Minami-ke
End of story. Loliko
If you bother to respond, suiton, you may as well give a 1-2 sentence summary. Anyway, Minami-ke is about 3 sisters who happen to share the same last name (Minami lulz). Lots of lols, lots of loli, and even some soft yuri (PUSH FOR IT!!). By lots of lols I really do mean lots of lols. Loliko
Oh, if you want comparisons... it lacks Lucky Star's randomness and references, but not nearly as funny as the first half of Azumanga. Imagine a slice-of-life anime with lots of hilarity thrown in. Lots of delicious flat chest, if you're into that. As w/ all animu, watch the first episode or so -- works especially well in Minami-ke's case because the series starts with a BANG~! |

Good to see the site back up. Happy New Year, Ayu folks. thezzbiszz
What a surprise!!! Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny Ep 9
Btw, Happy New Year, It's good to see that you guys return. Sin no Aria
Hmmm... I didn't finish the first season. Do I need to finish the first season to understand DD? Or is it one of those where the second season and the first season can be stand alone seasons? monkey
Randall is a buttmonkey =p [5]0119
ecchi series to start a new year - nice XD kira80
Happy to see you're still subbing this because you're the best group for this show. Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated ! |

| Extended downtime - jakkarth - 2008-01-03 01:44:09 |

| Ok, that didn't really go quite how I was hoping it would. Sorry about the downtime, kids. We had some extended issues with our service providers, but everything appears to be straightened out and should be more or less stable for the new year. Everyone knows we're slow, so it's not like you missed anything other than nothing getting released for two weeks. Just because you didn't see anything here doesn't mean we weren't working though! We've got some releases that are just about finished up and we'll be sending them your way in the next few days, barring further unforeseen idiocy. Akeome! |

Just worried about you guys. We like the reassurance of the website being up, with it down for so long some of us start thinking evil thoughts at the work place. Sin no Aria
Heh, I figured that was the problem. Well, hope there won't be too many more of these crazy downtimes. After all, I enjoy looking at this website every day >_< ToxicCookie
Good to see the site is up and running again, I wasn't too worried though since a staff member was kind enough to let me know what was going on when I dropped by the IRC. CP
I was starting to ask around if someone knew if you were still around ;-) Macca
3rd season of Jigoku Shoujo was announced while the site was down. Kinda surprising to me, to say the least... Marek
Welcome back! :) r0b3rt
They're back! Oh, I've been so worried about you! :( Are you guys all right? Want a cup of coffee? martino
We want TRANSLATORS. That's what we need... ;_; [5]0119
glad the site is up again suiton
I kind of figured that it was a server issue. People were going crazy thinking that you guys disbanded or something like that. It's great to see that the site is finally back up. ToTaFTW
Woo servers up :3
You guys planning any new series for the new year? eMDee
I almost started downloading from other groups doing the same projects >_> welcome back online ¦°3 Kai
i'd rather they finish the current series as i'm anticipating to watch them.
and i've been checking the site regularly to see if it was up again :O
you know, if sites go down, people imagine things.
suiton
@ Kai
I agree. I'd much rather [Ayu] finish up the projects they've been doing thus far, and then start new ones. I'm interested in Minami-ke as well as the new one (it's a re-take of the anime), titled "Minami-ke: Okawari"... Silver Mine
okaerinasai.. ^_^ Amyante
Heh, good to see the site back up again. At first, i thought it was just me because the irc channel didn't mention anything about it, but good to know everything's back to normal again. Looking forward to those new releases you planned! ^_^ Darc
yattaa!! was worried also i asked around alot ^_^ just happy to see ayu back up realy a S3 of jigoku shoujo omg cant wait baka~
i really thought you guys went bye bye for good :'(
yukata TT_TT Loliko
"I'd much rather [Ayu] finish up the projects they've been doing thus far, and then start new ones."
<Opinion> duly noted.
"People were going crazy thinking that you guys disbanded or something like that."
If only we had those kinds of people in Ayu... *sigh* Philo
lol, my first thought was "Holy Shit! The FBI is on to us!" but now that i know the reason i can finally sleep... thanks Ayu, looking forward to your next works... and sleep |

Oh God. Sex me gently. Thank you very much for this show. You guys all rock! suiton
wow~ the end of another great series!
great job releasing this episode only 2 days after the one before!!
=) Leon-Gun
Even though this season saw the show turned slowly from a light-hearted and funny yet interesting show to a total fanservice with no content one, I got to commend you on the excelent quality of your subs. You guys do rock. Loliko
Moar like... light-hearted and funny --> zomg drama --> plotless fanservice --> plotless drama (is that possible?!!) thezzbiszz
Yeah! The fianl episode of ZnT.Thank you, I love to see your next series you are going to sub Skittles
YEAH now only 6 months until the next season.... Lowlightt
Thanks for the episode woot. gngn
thanx for the last episode. your quality rocks! although i think i'll never rewatch this series again. how could they ruine the whole interesting plot? they should change the director for the 3'thrd season. if there will be one Skittles
@gngn no because i'm so tired of that bittersweet bullshit Philo
ZnT and Proper Football FTW!
Thanks Ayu, as always. Philo
fairy?? WTF?? that was random. Miro
What? No volleyball?
My predictions for the next season of ZnT: Luise uses a bigger whip; nothing else changes! Darc
well one can only hope so and wrap the plot more tightly and more thrilling and throw in somthing new woot thanx for the release Winn
Thank you very very much. I've downloaded them all from you guys and believe it or not I still havn't got around to watch it yet :P anyway I am looking forward to it. Thanks again r0b3rt
What? There's no such thing as "bad" fanservice!! D: Well, I've loved this series, for one. I love the drama, and I love all the awkward situations...although yes, it got a bit predictable in the end. But, that's not the subbers' fault. 10X AYU Virtual_ManPL
Good work AYU TEAM !!!
Big thx for subbing this great anime ];-> dodoecchi
thanks a lot for your hard work! but shit the hero didn't die!! ;_; Silver Mine
Thank you for the great releases as always.. ^^; And I will surely miss these flat chested actions.. :3 A season 3 you say.. I like some more details about it pleases.. James W
Thanks a lot! Is there going to be another season and if so will you guys sub it? Raziel666
Thanks Ayu for the completion of another series. Your job was excellent in all aspects! Keep the releases comin'! ;) Kiwi
Thank you for another great series done! :). Looking forward to your other project "Minami" and other future projects as well :). Anima
@Philo: This where the second season fails! That "fairy" plays an important role in the novel. She even joins the magic academy at one point! Now how was that novel spoiler for you? :P r0b3rt
If that's the case, I kinda think we haven't seen the rest of her. I'm sure they've planned ahead with this. baka~
FINALLY!! T_T seeding time!! XD
overall, this anime reminds me of SnS with hecate the fairy, yuji as saito, shana as louise, and henrietta as kazumi
hope there's a season 3 XD FreeStoring
hay!!
good project :)
senks :) Leon-Gun
@r0b3rt: I agree there...but like I said before, it better have some actual content this time. I'm sick and tired of forced harem humor. I can rewatch Season 1 once or twice, something I probably won't ever do with Season 2. ToTaFTW
I smell a season 3 :P Anima
@r0b3rt: Of course you haven't seen the end of it! :P this season stopped at novel 8 IIRC (although vert messed up) and so far we have 12 novels and it's an ongoing novels. A 3rd season is a most likely but given the poor S2, I hope they wont allow that lousy director to make the third one (if any). Philo
I hope the next season has more of that fairy... if you know what i mean? Anima
Well, if you mean you want more big breasts jokes, then I sure do hope it will NOT be the case. Darc
yes i agree that harem humor can only go so far and it gets really old Sin no Aria
Say, which season is this? I haven't had time to keep up with this series yet and I figured that I'd ask now. ToxicCookie
It's the second season. Sin no Aria
I guess then it is time to DL the replacement >_< I've had a version from another group, don't know which, but haven't watched it yet. Too bad I won't be able to DL for another week.... T_T
(And on a side note, thanks for taking me off the list and thanks for putting out the good series.) baka~
just curious, would you guys, by any chance, be releasing a DVD compilation of ZnT II? Lil'E
From 16:26-17:39... Badass, dramatic action. Saito, you are no pussy like Yuji from Shakugan no Shana. Leon-Gun
In that I agree. It's too bad they pussied out Saito this series with his talk about no killing in ANY situation. I liked the old Saito who knew when fighting and killing was inevitable and didn't spout so much idealistic crap. Macca
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Season 3 announced (source:ANN).
Wonder what they'll cover in this new season, since the content from the original Question & Answer games have already been covered in the first two seasons...
Maybe the PS2-exclusive arcs or "Higurashi Rei"... Darc
wow really yer they pussyied saito up a little too much. deaths on a battle field are inevitable ToxicCookie
Yes, it's too bad he couldn't just revel in the gore like Alucard, or someone who's not a total pussy with bullshit ideals. Lil'E
OSHYT!? A third season <3. I thought this was going to be another Jigoku Shoujo for me. How I miss that anime... Skittles
what a god damn hypocrite
ReiffZera
He told me that if a car has been in an accident and worked on you will be able to detect a slight change in color from a painted over area that was damaged. Oh shit
Oh wait, if there is a 3de season, that must mean they are planning to license the 2nd season soon. Because they have already licensed the first, so why wouldn't they hurry and license the 2nd? Darc
i dont think its licensed at all yet in America ToxicCookie
Yes it is licensed, and the third season has recently been announced.....W00T!! baka~
hmm i was wondering if somebody else experienced this but whenever i would watch ZnT II episode, there are times when the audio would go ahead of the animation. i watched some previous anime that i DLed on ayu (for comparison) and they played smoothly... so... does anyone have an answer for this BTW?
(FYI, i've been using combined community codec pack ever since when it comes to watching anime) Helic
just saw on animenewsnetwork that a season 3 is comming soon Inugami
@Leon-Gun: Saito was practically against the idea of the aristocrats' view of fighting for honor. However, he was for fighting for something of true worth (love, things you belive in). @baka~: Your computer might have desynced because of slow computing power or overheating. Sometimes with softsubs of high quality my laptop (it's about 2 years old) will desync the audio, video, and/or subtitle. I don't think it would happen on modern hardware. baka~
so it means that my hardware is reaching its limits... ah crap X_X
thanks for the advice antigod
well baka for a few dollars you can get an serial ata harddrive very cheap ^.^ baka~
the idea is nice but they cost much more from where i came from... and i guess its only the vid card X_X |

Yup. It's not a dream, it's done, it's approved by our QC'ers and it's now out. Distribution was made possible by Jakkarth, after he fixed some issues with the server (we love you man). There still are things left to sort out but none of them will interrupt our work.
Enjoy!
