No, it wasn't that guy. It was the guy he quoted who rage quit. Read the posts he linked and add the one immediately above that which got deleted later. He went berserk out of nowhere, just because he didn't want to be told what the editing procedure was.

[Anonymous No.982056]

>>982019
We've had several very good editors work on the scripts lately. That one dude who showed up just to cause trouble was an exception. The editing has slowed down because the script is pretty much done.

[Anonymous No.982065]

>>982050
He probably didn't hold to the opinion of the "anonymous poster" who informed him that the work he'd done wouldn't be considered due to not "following procedure". Clearly he was the other great anonymous editor and felt his e-cred was being usurped by a Johnny-Come-Lately.

It's all very impressive. Maybe next round you can all take up a Tripcode Identification Mark in order to make sure each glyph is properly credited to the right person. This will avoid future arguments as well as serve to motivate quality and quantity of work.

[Anonymous No.982092]

>>982065
The guy who told him to link to the script was being polite, not arrogant. Notice that he was helping him out by bridging the gap and linking his own post to the script. It helps everybody to be able to mouse over the backlinks on the script post to see what's already been edited. That's why it got adopted as a rule.

Not counting the one irrational asshole that we're talking about from last thread, all discussion between editors has been very polite. If the editors wanted personal credit, they would already be using tripcodes. The translator and subber are using tripcodes properly out of necessity.

[Anonymous No.982115]

To be fair, the drama is mostly an occasional person trying to stir shit up to amuse themselves. People actually doing the work aren't causing problems. We can still talk about the show as much as you want.

If the script stuff is really rubbing people the wrong way, then the team could talk about relocating. I like seeing the process out in the open here, but I understand if you disagree.

I also think the regular OP posts have become ridiculously cuttered. A link to the latest subbed/raw episodes and to a single pastebin (that contains links to other things like video channels, torrents, soundtracks, episode guides, news, books and what not) would be more than enough.

>>982497
Actually, a bit of a problem has sprung up in the editing process (this is a long one).

For about 99% of the editing, it's been super polite, helpful in making a better final product, and fun to work with so many hawk-eyed people catching my stupid mistakes (some of the corrections make me feel embarrassed about having once been an English teacher). The remainder is barely even worth mentioning, our threads in general are polite and fun.

So, a few days ago (while I was sleeping) an a person posting with the tripcode 'poopz' said that the script wasn't finished, and was missing what Toujima said when showing the ending he drew. People called him a shit poster, told him to go away, and (correctly) said I was using the DVD to translate, so it was fine and he was trolling. An Anon than backed poopz's claims up, showing screen shots from the DVD that he/she also owned.

That's when I woke up, read all that, realized that when trying not to copy my script notes/time log (which I keep at the bottom of the script to make it easier to read) I had missed the last two lines poopz and the Anon had mentioned when copy/pasting it into pastebin. I added them, thanked the two for their work and decided to modify my procedure and keep my notes, etc in a separate document. Good well and VR-GCCX keeps getting better at subbing.

Except I got an email from one of the two letting me know they got banned for saying the script was missing the very end. In other words, in our open-air editing process, someone got a ban and called a shit poster for...helping to edit and helping me avoid a major miss on my behalf.

[Kakaricho !HUdKbIa0hI No.982727]

>>982725

I'd like to keep our editing open, I like how people can discuss grammar rules vs. clean looking subs and the like, but if people are going to risk catching a banhammer for taking part in the process, it won't work. Unless someone's basically saying "In line 999, Arino should be saying "Ching chong, Ching chong" cause he's a gook lol troled", they're not a shit poster, and even if they do pop-up, they're easy to ignore.

If who ever banned that user sees this, I'd really like it if you would reverse that ban, it wasn't deserved in the least.

tl;dr - People suggesting edits shouldn't be called shit posters and banned, they may be right.

You get people in these threads banned all the time. You are the one who sarcastically asked for help editing when someone made a joke about you subbing against the Chief's wishes.

[Anonymous No.982925]

Oh and Kakaricho will get you a 90 day ban if you discuss mari**ana laws in Japan. For "illegal content" like snuff.

>You get people in these threads banned all the time
How exactly?

> You are the one who sarcastically asked for help editing when someone made a joke about you subbing against the Chief's wishes.

I asked for help editing when we started the Heike and Genji Clans project. Assuming we're referring to the same thing, that Anon said there was a message from Arino asking people not to subtitle, I pointed out it was to not spoil the secret, and he/she said "I was just joking".

I don't have a clue who moderates, but if people are getting banned for offering edits, they need to stop it, because it'll kill the process.

[Anonymous No.982975]

>>982725
>>982727

Please read this handful of archived posts carefully. The trash basket icons next to the post numbers indicate deleted posts (clearly by the mods in this case). I guarantee you that this is the guy who got banned. Don't be naive. If he's telling you that he got banned for offering edits, he's -- pun intended -- full of shit. He got banned for starting and ending as a shitposter. You're giving him unwarranted legitimacy by addressing him by name here. Even if he provided actual information, who is going to trust someone who behaves like that?

http://archive.foolz.us/_/search/username/poopz/order/asc/

[Anonymous No.982992]

To be honest, farming out the editing process would probably be a good idea, in theory.

I have the idea of an IRC channel monitored by a bot that recognizes when somebody says something that follows the procedure (edited to work without pagebreaks, so instead of a new line, we'd have something like ** to divide parts) and archives it in a single file. Then Kakaricho can go over that one file and occasionally ask clarification questions in the thread. It'd cut down on the editing talk, and I know of IRC bots that do similar things, so I'm sure it's possible, but I'm not savvy enough to code something like that. We'd also need a house rule that states the merits and problems of subbing groups are not to be discussed, mostly because it ALWAYS ends in a clusterfuck, but once you institute house rules, things get tricky. It would be better if everybody in these threads just stopped responding to any posts inciting sub group drama, but of course, that can never be achieved. Oh well, more a pipe dream.

To get away from how disgustingly meta this post has gotten:

>>982245

I'm a big fan of the Yuuyu no Quiz de GO! GO! episode. It's the quintessential "quiz episode" with loads of different people coming together, which is always great. Child-Rearing Quiz: My Angel gets an honorary mention, if only for this exchange:

>This is hard.
>Just like raising a child.
>That's deep.

It's probably my favorite "little moment" in the entire series.

And to rephrase the request I made earlier in >>981460, I'm looking for memorable video game music tracks from the show. So essentially, think of the most memorable episodes, and think if there's any video game song that particularly comes to mind there. Things like the Quest of Ki level music or the mine cart level from Donkey Kong Country. And probably the Haunted Chase level from Donkey Kong Country 2, if what I heard is correct. Just suggest away, I'd much rather have too many tracks than too little.

>>982975
>>982975
I don't have any idea of who the moderators are, let alone how to contact them. If I was getting people banned, why would I post a wall of text asking for clarification and expressing distaste for such a practice?

If mods are banning people for offering edits, it has to stop, or our process has to change and move to a different place.

And yes, looking at his posts, poopz didn't offer much, but he did point the script was incomplete. What he/she allegedly got banned for is hard to say, but if it was for the edit, that's not cool.

>>982992

They're not. That's absurd. People get banned for breaking the rules. That's it. It's also time to stop discussing the moderation process. I don't want you to get in trouble. Read Global Rule 8.

It's reaching that point. This is an unpleasant conversation which is derailing the thread. You guys should finish up with Ikki here and then decide on a new way of proceeding.

[Anonymous No.983013]

>>983001

That might also be a neat choice, but when possible, I'd like to pick songs from places Arino got stuck at for a long time, which makes the Haunted Chase tune a natural pick, because I heard he lost so many lives on that level the crew started getting visibly angry, which was unheard of. And I'd like to stick to one song per episode. Actually, that means I could take both, or even three. Hm, I hadn't even thought of that angle before.

[Kakaricho !HUdKbIa0hI No.983019]

It doesn't seem like moving the translation process out of this thread is really necessary, that banning incident seemed pretty isolated.

[Anonymous No.983227]

>>983098
>I remember Abunai protesting way too much about the guy instead of just looking into his claim about the missing part
Abunai criticized the guy once for the way that he was posting. There were suspicions about the guy's claims, but Abunai didn't discuss them. It was later pointed out that the raw torrent has the complete version, and Abunai knows about it.

[Anonymous No.985375]

>>985353
It depends. When foreign loan words are used in Japanese, it's not always the same word that would be used by English speakers. Your example of "cassette" applies here, as Japanese people use that word to refer to game cartridges. (Personally I've never heard cartridges referred to as cassettes by English speakers) There are also examples of wasei-eigo, or Japanese-made English, that would apply. For example Japanese call a high five a "high touch" (ハイタッチ, haitacchi). The correct translation would be high five, though. Or take an all-you-can-eat buffet. In Japanese that is called a "viking" (バイキング, baikingu).

The example you give of "life gauge" though seems like it could be left alone as it clearly makes sense.

Subtitles should be as unobtrusive as possible. They're best when they're barely noticed at all. Subbing groups shouldn't have "standing out from others" as any kind of priority.

>I'd love to see Kan's formal speech taken to the extreme. Registered trademark symbol when Arino says something like "Teflon". Subbing a comedy program here.
See above. Injecting humor not present in the original product is inappropriate. You shouldn't assume that everyone will get the "Teflon®" subbing joke.

>If they say something like "viking" and there's a pause, could educational notes explain the translation choice in real time?
"Translator Notes" should be used sparingly if at all. Even when displayed during a pause, they can be very disruptive to the feel and the flow of the material. The translator should try to give the best possible interpretation within the lines themselves.

The text translating those headlines should be fine. It's definitely something the viewer was meant to look at and read, and if they kept it there for 10 seconds, they did so to give people enough time to do so.

Given the expected audience of these subtitles do you guys really think this much drama over localizing certains lines certain ways is really necessary?

If someone calls a game a shooting game and I can see that the person is playing a game wherein you shoot things, I am intelligent enough to know that the translation of 'shooting game' means that that's what they call a shooting game, even though it is not typically what I would call a shooting game.

The viewers understand fully that they are watching a different culture, I take much more enjoyment from learning that their culture calls things a different name than I do from reading a subtitle I know has been interpreted and is not the original line, like "shmup."

Kan's speech is usually more formal than Arino's but exaggerating it to an extreme wouldn't be accurate to what he's actually saying.

[Anonymous No.987546]

Just to get back to the Teflon thing, it seems some people really understand and some don't. It's just that there's no such word as teflon, or Teflon. There is only Teflon®.

This is completely different than Kleenex. Any hanky that you wipe your nose with can be called a piece of kleenex. But any non-stick coating CANNOT be called teflon. It must be called polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE. Arino clearly didn't say "PTFE".

DuPont spends, has spent, more money defending their COMMON USE word than any company ever has. It is famous, you study it in business school. This is famous, famous shit. Go ahead and translate someone saying the syllables "teph - lonn" as "Teflon", it won't be accurate without the ®. If DuPont's lawyers get a hold of it they'll pull the video faster than Fuji did.

In the Downtown Friendly, why do they slap Arino and his boy every time they speak in a formal manner? Are there different grammars that Arino and Kan are observing, represented for Arino by the dropped letter? There had been a question before about using English formality of speech for Kan, not ending with a dangling modifier and what not. As we've just established, word order is not part of accuracy. Kan always has a Japanese-English genre word come at the end of a sentence, I've noticed. This seems like a disciplined use of language, the way a written sentence has the verb at the end in Latin.

It's a bit difficult to explain. Arino normally speaks casually, and has an Osaka/Kansai accent that really sticks out compared to the Tokyo/standard accent. The best way to show that, IMO, is by clipping the 'g' off of words that have 'ing', and slurring stuff in to 'izzat'. It's sort of but not quite comparable to the accent of people in America's south to the people in America's north.

Kan is also from the Kansai region, but he narrates in a semi-formal, Tokyo accent (he enunciates, generally says things grammatically correct, etc)

You don't usually use formal language with very close friends in Japan. The main idea behind Friendly Downtown is that younger comedians "want to be friends" with Downtown, so slapping is used as a batsu to enforce the "use informal language at all times" rule.

Does Kakaricho come with his own checker? That is, while editing is copious for the English translation, are there secret discussions regarding translations? Or is this done through a process of open revision and discussion about best choices?

That being said, full episode time, Karnov.

[Anonymous No.993884]

Also, don't make the editing process private. Anonymous collective editing by people who care about the product and want more quality translations is best done in this way. I'm not sure how SA does it, but it's probably slower and more private.

People don't like the extra nonsense that comes up, but it's best to not take a reactionary stance. To either move the process to a private location or report every poster one sees as extraneous, the end result is the same: less people working on the editing. In the first case less people will participate in an arcane and hard to find process. In the second, editors will be slowly banned and discouraged as has already happened.

So it is best to proceed as is. No one has been sabotaging efforts. Don't let petty differences take the process down from within.

People only report shitposters and blatant assholes. Anyone telling you differently is lying and may be one of the shitposters themselves. A report does not equal a ban. If you report something that breaks no rules, you're likely to get banned yourself.

There really aren't that many editors as it is. There's like one guy who does about half of the editing and maybe two or three others who do bits of the rest. I think that the team would benefit from settling on one or two official editors/checkers and moving the process to a less volatile place.

>editors will be slowly banned and discouraged as has already happened.

The only person to get banned DURING EDITING was this asshole for this post:

https://archive.foolz.us/vr/thread/964710/#q969740

He started to get slightly abrasive, causing some people to question his choices. He then FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT and deleted everything when someone dared to ask him to follow the same really simple efficiency procedure that everyone else has no problem following. All of this happened in the space of 90 minutes.

Anyhow, I and a lot of other people want these threads to return to the roots. We just want to talk about the show without a lot of bullshit. The subbing team is not at fault for these problems, but I don't think that 4chan is the best place for this type of work. It was a noble experiment, but it's time to change the process.

>Having a lot of people discuss the edits makes it a better product IMO, but I'm concerned with the subbing taking over the threads entirely.
The subbing itself isn't taking over the threads entirely, but it's frustrating to check my thread watcher to find 25 new posts in the thread and think that there might be an actual talk about the show happening only to find that it's mostly a stack of edits or some discussion about grammar or an argument about the process. It feels like that happens several times each week.
>Outside of an IRC channel, does anyone have any ideas for a place where editors can suggest edits/interact with each other?
Maybe just by email? You'd need to actually recruit an editor to the team for that to work but as >>993958 said, the number of people editing in these threads is probably smaller than you think. I'd bet the quality wouldn't change much.
>you email script to editor
>editor edits and emails back to you
>you accept or reject or discuss editor's choices
>editor proofreads for any more errors
>one of you sends final script to subber
This could work. I don't really have a problem with Abunai asking you or the thread questions while doing the subbing. It's fun to see shots and clips of the work in progress, but the script editing is becoming a real drag here. Maybe you could still ask the thread when there's a line or two that needs some tuning. That wouldn't bother me.

The more of GCCX that gets subtitled, the more it will hurt future sales of any dvd released in america. Sure lots of real fans will buy the dvds, but 90% of what could have been possible customers will just watch them for free online. People almost always choose the FREE alternative if one is available. Thats just a fact. You go read about how much fansubbing hurts dvd sales when brought to america. I really think the groups should just stop subbing the regular episodes and stick to a few of the dvd only things or live specials.

Karnov is something I've seen a person in these threads go crazy for when he saw that the Chief had played it...I also saw someone have a similar reaction in the only Karnov thread I ever saw on this board a few months ago.

I take it that this is your natural Osaka accent coming out in your English type, as Kakaricho describes.

What about the Chief's comments is no good?

It should be observed that conducting a voting process on 4chan will invariably taint the results. Threads have already popped up encouraging votes for both Karnov and Vice.

The result? A huge bump for both, around 20 fresh votes...and over 25 fresh votes just now for the until-hours-ago 5-voted Space Hunter.

Space Hunter will win out of typical "for the lulz" groupthink sabotage.

In fact, everyone welcome /v/ and its disinformation shills. They've come here to try to make people who aren't into 16 year old girl cyborg fantasy Japanese exclusive anime games look silly.

>Humanity only slightly survived. Its thread of life barely connected to a body; which was rebuilt into a cyborg. The heroine is named Al Tiana and is also apparently a robot who does not support the rebellion. She is out to prove her loyalty to the humans.


>Al Tiana (ALTIANA)
>The hero of this game; who belongs to the ground commander. She wears a pink leotard and has long chestnut hair. Al Tiana is a 16-year-old cyborg. While her systems are built to gain life, the life that is gained can be used to capture the energy and power of defeated enemy beings.

Hey guys, new watcher here - got into the show because I kept seeing threads on 4chan and thought it looked kind of interesting. I like the show a lot - I'm currently just beginning Season 2. I really liked Season 1, where the episodes were very short and were him just challenging one game at a time. Now the episodes are an hour each, and about half the episode is him challenging some particular game, but there are also some other segments - visiting arcades, interviewing people, little game previews. This stuff is fine but I really don't find it as fun as him actually challenging a game; I felt that the old format worked better. So I'm a little tempted to just skip the middle segments and only watch the first and last segments (the actual challenge). On the other hand, I'd feel bad doing this and missing out on big parts of the show, especially if it gets better as the series progresses. Any thoughts?

[Kakaricho !HUdKbIa0hI No.1001432]

>>1001426
The segments are a lot of the fun. He has the staff play games with him in the arcade visits, and in other segments he looks at a lot of old hardware from Japan that's pretty cool to see. I'd say give them a try.

[Anonymous No.1001436]

>>1001426
The segments will change up. There's a really good running one during the 3rd season that has great moments...Arino plays an absolutely terrible game with the help of viewers.

Arcade segments will stay but once the production staff figures out what they're doing, it will be consistently good. It's many people's favorite part.

Game review segments where they show games that came out in a given year are good because you learn about new games.

[Kakaricho !HUdKbIa0hI No.1001439]

>>1001426
If you're watching the subtitled episodes, the first season was chopped up by the subbing group TV-Nihon to just show the challenge and some interviews (although the Something Awful group has re-released a few of the full season 1 episodes)

The segments are fun. He often plays arcade games with the staff (Cameraman Abe, etc), and some show minor hardware, and stuff that was only released in Japan, so it's kind of cool, give them a try.

[Anonymous No.1001450]

>>1001426

Nah, don't skip them. The Tamage segments are pretty interesting, and as the show goes on the get funnier when he's not just playing arcade games, or go places like candy stores or amusement parks. Like when he plays vs. with the ADs or chats it up with local kids or store owners.

The segments change every season, and for the most part are pretty funny or interesting. The one where he plays some kusoge and phones up people asking for advice is pretty funny, but some other ones where him and Kibe play GB games aren't. The one with Game & Watch and the one with unpopular hardware were interesting too.

Anyway, to be skipping them would be skipping a large part of the reason why people like it. The challenges are great and all, but the segments and tamage have their own charm and are funny on their own.

The segments are great as others have said, but they also do the important job of breaking the episode up. 45 minutes or so of just challenge can get boring. Just giving the viewer 5 minutes of something else a few times seriously helps pace out the show.

It also gives Arino 'n Pals great opportunities to just have fun and be funny (especially Kibe). For us westerners it also gives us a unique look at the country and culture. In the USA special, us americans got to see ourselves through the crews eyes.

A somewhat miscellaneous message, but if 'mattiewheels' from the Neogaf GCCX thread is seeing this, here are a few clarifications from what you've been saying over there.

(I'd register an account and say hello, but it always says I can't register an account when I try to do so, what's up with that?)

- I work on translating/coordinating the community editing process, but our projects are a group effort, so please don't refer to our efforts as just my work (for example, "he's doing", "he's saying", etc).

- LC-GCCX has also been open about his group's projects, not just SA-GCCX. From my POV, it's been nice to see that everybody is willing to avoid overlapping and just wants more GCCX translated.

The fact that there's a 720p FLV of both Space Hunter and Karnov suggests that they were ripped from online streaming videos that were uploaded from better source material.

Somewhere out there, a Karnov raw exists in .TS form. These are the real "raws" that DailyMotion / YouTube uploads originally come from, yes?

The rest were from a thread on /v/ which was up for about 9 hours a couple days ago. That means we have a pretty good group of regulars here.

Oh damnit until 2011 or so there was a guy who was ripping all the sub files from all the Japanese TS television show streams people would send to him.

Some sort of forum trolling incident led to him taking all the subs with him and fleeing.

BUT this means that shows from late 15th season on should have all spoken dialogue in written Japanese contained in the TS files themselves. These could already be hosted somewhere online as has occurred in the past, or when TS streams are located this will make translation easier (I assume?)

I'm already over ¼ of the way done with my test .TS It's possible that you'd need a set-top box to see them on the TV, or enable it in your cable/satellite receiver, or enable it on the TV.

Even finding and extracting them from the .TS is supposed to be hard, but since all 3 Donkey Kong 2 episodes are up in .TS form I see acquiring the actual raw Japanese subs as integral to translating such a massive project at some point.

[Anonymous No.1003450]

>>1003376
There's something to be said for permanent plain text also though.

I think Adobe InCopy would be best, you haven't worked with text until you've worked with Adobe. This would allow Kakaricho to act as a managing editor, delegating assignments to other networked editors. It's what professional copy editors use, and InDesign for laying it out for print.

But InCopy is crazy for formatting, glyphs...layout too even. Post It style notes, markup, invisible text visible (spaces, paragraph return, line break, non-breaking hyphen). But this is mostly applicable to print media. The important feature seems to be the delegating of responsibility and the ability of multiple editors to update the main file progressively without screwing over the work of anyone else. Of course, the person managing everything has to know the most about the program, which is a problem with using a Google-like service too. How often do we need to even simply format subtitles like bold or italic text?

Do people prefer the colored / bordered LCCX style subs or the plain yellow of SA and /vr/? Are you releasing .sub files so people can watch lossless releases? Or is the subbing process lossless anyway? Does YouTube have a "soft sub" feature?

I didn't at first, but they've grown on me. I think subs can be used to accent the show you're watching. The bold, color-bordered text is good for SoL, comedy, and lighthearted anime. Plain black and white lettering for anythiner serious. I think the yellow works best for GCCX as an homage; Arino plays retro games, so it only makes sense that retro-looking subtitles are used.

[Anonymous No.1003487]

And calling someone a name is not an ad hominem. An ad hominem is an attempt to refute or dismiss someone's argument by appealing to some quality of the person making the argument. Telling someone why they are wrong and then insulting them is not ad hominem, it's just a common rhetorical gesture. If websites exist which extract subtitles it does not mean that most shows have subtitles, it just means that the websites extract subtitles from shows that do have subtitles, which in the case of Japanese shows is a minority. You don't have to use words when you don't understand what they mean, you know.

Well I'm going to look specifically for a lossless TS of Karnov knowing we have a backup in 720p. This would allow him to encode a "release quality" MKV at 1280x720p with the subtitles hardsubbed...the resulting quality would be better than the existing MP4 and FLV 720p source materials and equal to the MKV pro rips...only they'd have hard subs.

SA has a policy to not release soft subs. Anyone heard anything about this?

I think you mean intend, not pretend. Those have wildly different meanings. I'm not part of the fight going on right now. I'm just trying to help you out.

SA offer the raw subtitle files for download. They release hardsubs for compatibility reasons.

Must have got some old information, it was from 2011

Well in that case the whole discussion about TS subtitles and their ability to be inserted losslessly into the stream itself becomes more relevant. The possibility (not necessarily realistic) exists to release true lossless subtitled episodes. Big 5 giggers.

I didn't even know this. Did Clover used to release ONLY separate sub files, or did they ever release hardcoded subs as well? I've seen some horribly botched uploads of attempts to hardcode the Clover sub files, like ancientcircle's on dailymotion which he still hasn't bothered to fix.

>On a related note, are there any sub groups for GCCX that still publish the sub files separately? I have heard that SAGCCX has a policy to not release theirs, but I was hoping that there may be some other teams that still do. I have bought the American DVD release and downloaded Clover's releases, but outside that I cannot find any non-hard-subbed GCCX.

>Clover was the most active group that provided separate sub files, but they stated that they were leaving everything to SAGCCX following their last release (one of the G'n'G episodes).

>TV-N exclusively did hardsubs, and you're already aware of SAGCCX's policy. Thus, the answer to "Is there a reliable download source for soft or unsubbed GCCX" is "No".

Can't link, thinks it's spam.

So on a totally different topic, is the editing for Ikki done? Is the subbing all that's left to do?

[Anonymous No.1003675]

>>1003672
The editing is done. Abunai is well into the subbing process.

Well, it's noon on Monday. The final vote count is:

Karnov - 111 votes.
Vice : Project Doom - 103 votes

I'll be starting the Karnov translation this week.

Any tips or leads anyone has on where the TS streams come from that these uploads all started as are most welcome. I looked on Usenet and found nothing...maybe I looked in the wrong place?

It seems like Kakaricho could certainly download them from his television service. I'm looking forward to seeing the commercials in the real raws. It's always possible that people keep the TS for themselves and only release an encoded version. But now that GCCX rings out, TSes are being released.

Download perhaps. Upload somewhere is another matter. Laws are pretty tough over there.
>I'm looking forward to seeing the commercials in the real raws.
The show airs on pay TV. The only commercials would be network-related promos at the very end like on HBO.

Japan primarily uses two file-sharing programs called Share and Perfect Dark.

What if he uploaded it directly to an FTP server in another country? It seems like episodes are getting out of Japan somehow.

[Anonymous No.1003790]

>>1003772
Episodes are getting out of Japan, but it would be bad if our lone translator got busted. For the sake of the team's work, it's safer for us to search online for raws or ask for a willing volunteer not connected to the team to risk uploading them.

Judging from how only five posts have been made there since it was mentioned, I don't think that Neogaf accounted for more than a small handful of votes.

The recent TS raws I've been getting off off Nyaa torrents are amazing, and they seem to be 60fps. I wish I could find every episode in such great quality.

They're only 60 fps because they're interlaced...but this means you can re-encode it to 1080p / 30 frames.
