Episode 08

urghugh expect some delays this week since our encoder is at Anime Boston or something, and he’s the guy who does our BandaiChannel magic so yeah.

edit: 2 seconds after me making this blog post he shows up to inform me that the convention is question is over and he’s started working on stuff already, nevermind, we’re back on our rather loose schedule.

In the meantime, I’ve made a sideblog you can see here that is mostly “here’s some cool as shit manga you should check out”. You should check it out, and then check out the manga it tells you to check out. Rad!

Working on it right now. Funny thing: there’s a place in the TV version where the video is the same as the BC version, but the BC version arbitrarily has more dialogue while the TV version just has music. Lollin’

Translator has it for fixing some lines. No idea where he is though!

Episode 7

Hello gentlemen.

5/16/2009 @ 5:36 PM EST

  • We have the files, and our translator has begun his work. We should have a release out MUCH earlier this week than last, in part because I’m not working until Wednesday, and don’t have much on my schedule otherwise other than running.
  • Is there call for another Bootleg alternate stream? I thought it was funny, as other members of our staff, but not a lot of people have given feedback on it. It may seem like it was a no work thing, but I had to manually edit those things since translating the .ass outright by itself caused some huge errors that needed dicking with before the file worked.
  • As the moderator of ADTRW, I feel the desire to once again say: hey, if you want to talk anime/ Mazinger one the best forum on the internet, might you consider joining SA? It’s well worth the ten dollar “idiot insurance”.

  • Timing and first level editing is done, off it goes back to the translator to dick with it a bit before I do my final edit run. After that, off to QC and then release.
  • Animal crackers own.

SORRY FOR THE DELAYS GUYS

Episode 6

  • Sorry for the late updating on status. Current status: I am editting and timing, then it’ll be bounced back to translator for him to fix some lines, then QC and all that stuff. Expect release later today.

Episode 05

Update May 03rd 2009 @ 7:32 PM EST

  • Well, we’re working on it. The good news is that we’ve streamlined our processes and improved our editting scheme (so we don’t have any accidental mis-edits).  Speaking of actual progress, our translators are still working on it!
  • I’m in the middle of exam week, but I’ll still be contributing ahhhhhhh
  • If you happen to like our releases and think we’re rad dudes, and want to hang with rad dudes whom I consider the raddest mecha/ anime fans at all, you might want to consider registering for the Something Awful forums and hanging out in ADTRW. You’ll see a link over on the right. Best anime forum on the internet! I would know.
  • I really want to see a Sengoku Basara-style take of the American Revolution. Washington crossing the Delaware on a boat that has handlebars and big chrome exhaust. George Washington having a sword battle with a laser-cannon wielding Benedict Arnold, while Washington screams about betrayal.  Ben Franklin wielding an electrified battle kite. Jefferson would get into frequent fist fights with Hamilton. It would own.
