Final 8

The crazy insert song series known as Aquarion Evol is complete! 

Initially this series was a lot of fun to do, but towards the end it got very taxing... hell, episode 24 had 4 songs in it and episode 26 had freaken 6 songs in it.  Speaking of episode 26... that episode is a director's cut, meaning it has additional content.  The normal TV of episode 26 was 24:09 mins long, but the BD director's cut is 30:09 mins long... a full 6 mins of additional stuff.

Well, take 3 mins away from that equation as the TV version did not include the OP/ED while the director's cut did, but there are extended scenes.

The last volume had a bonus music video called "Zero Zero" by Akino from bless4.  This song was also in the last episode.  Be advised, this music video contains spoilers as it shows varies footage throughout the series.

I already have the next batch of Chuunibyou complete and will be my next release in probably a week or so after I seed this series which is my biggest (in terms of filesize) series I've done to date, so it'll take time to seed.

Earlier today, I went ahead and made the purchase to buy the last 2 volumes for Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica.

A few things: 1) Bloody expensive, 2) I want to finish this project as much as you do too, 3) Paypal donations used appropriately

So, I've never made a purchase in Asia... scratch that, I bought college books from Asia before and from what I remember, it took a few weeks for it to arrive in my possession.  I used the not too expensive and not too cheap method of shipping, so 2-3 weeks should be when I can expect this to arrive.

It's been 4 months since volume 5 came out and still no indication of an acceptable BD source.  As I have told many of you in the past, I'm aware of the shitty raws that are out now and trust me, I came close to using them, but while I was watching them, I was like "this is crap... not sure how much my encoding will fix an already crappy source".  So instead of wasting my time on figuring out how I can make a crappy BD source doable, I'd prefer to get the source straight from the disk itself.

Now I gotta figure out how to rip the information from the disk and encode it, should be easy... I hope.

Almost there!

I added 1 extra episode in this release.  It was either 1 extra episode in this release or the next one... I chose this release.  I'm also half way done with the remaining episodes for Evol, so expect the final batch within the next few weeks.

With Evol almost finished, I've decided to pick up Lupin the Third: Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna
The BDs really aren't needed for this series as the TV source quality was pretty good, but the BDs are better plus I've been a Lupin III fan for a while... I remember watching this series on Cartoon Network a few years ago.

I'm still looking for other projects to pick up (have a few already in mind), but nothing set in stone right now besides Lupin III.

Another series complete!

I wasn't a big fan of this series... scratch that, I didn't like this series at all, but I'm sure there are those that did and will appreciate the 720p version since that was my only reason I decided to pick this series up.

Enjoy this series!

Bromance! 

A few things about this series thus far.  I still enjoy it, probably my favorite project I'm working on now.  Also, I fixed the URW effects for the ED as well as the the timing for the OP that causes seizures.  With that said, with the project going onwards... hopefully there won't be anymore v2s.

When I batch this off, I'll release a v3 for episodes 1-3 to correct missing fonts, miss timed URW OP, correct URW ED effects and a minor MUXing glitch in episode 3.

Here is a status on my other projects:
1) Aquarion Evol, Horizon II and Chuunibyou - are all being worked on, so expect more releases soon.
2) Ebiten - have not touched this project yet other than encoding, I'm focusing on the other projects, but as mentioned, this project will be a batch only project, meaning once all 10 eps, 5 specials and 10 EDs are done, then I'll release it.
3) Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica - no valid source thus far for eps 9+.  If by the time I get through all my other projects and there are still no valid or legitimate sources for this series... I'm considering using the donations I was given in April to buy the last 2 remaining volumes at $80 freaken bucks a volume.... bloody rip off.
4) Total Eclipse - same issue with Hagure... no valid source after ep 11; however, considering there are 5 volumes left in this series, thats too much $$$ to buy off the remaining volumes, which means that if worse case scenario, I finish everything else options 1-3 (which by no means will be quick, might take a few months) and there are still no valid BD sources, most likely I'll be dropping this series... but thats down the line and hopefully now until then, something comes out for this series.
