Update - RE: Eyeshield 21

Alright, I wanted to kinda give you guys an update on the status of things.. because in my last post, I said we'd start releasing each week.. and here we are.. having not accomplished that.

First, let me apologize. It's my fault. I have a lot of health issues and stuff and my grandmother was just diagnosed with breast cancer.. so I've been having to see both her oncologist and my oncologist.. on top of a bunch of other medical appointments and treatments and the like.. so I kinda got worn out and the like.

As well, I wanted to make our releases the best they could be, so I contacted some friends of mine about the best way to do that.. it required a bit of work from both Nanashi and myself.. but we've finally got everything in order. We just kept missing each other online, in order to discuss the best way to move forward on these things.

That all being said, 88 is about 85% done, only the afx and some other minor changes are left. So we should be releasing it to ya'll for super enjoyment, tomorrow sometime.

I'm really sorry for the hold up.. this isn't the only project that I have, that's been held up due to my illness.

Also, if any of you out there know how to time.. even if yr horrible at it.. and you'd like to do some pre-timing for me (thus, helping get the episode out faster) Drop me a line. All this would involve, is you doing a basic timing of the speech only.. and as I said, it doesn't even have to be good timing.. you don't have to do a second sweep or anything.. I just need it timed close enough to where they're talking, so that I can fine/scene time it and get it ready for release. You have to have knowledge of aegisub or sabbu.. I can't teach you how to use the programs.. that would only make it that much longer between releases if I have to teach someone.. sorry. Drop me an email at: leha[at]otakara-island.com and tell me a little about your experience with timing and the like.. and hopefully we can move forward with getting things out at a faster pace. ^_^

Eyeshield 21 - Episode 87

And we're off! This episode brings the end of the beginning.. so to speak. :D

We spent some time on it, so we could get the typesetting down.. well.. I spent some time on it. *blush* I hope everyone is enjoying the changes that we're bringing with us into this new generation of Espada Subs.

Juumonji and I talk often, and have decided that we're going to go up to episode 102, then begin releasing 65+.. rather then going backwards to 65 and then moving forward. If all goes well, we should be able to start releasing an episode each week. *fingers crossed* We already have the translations, it's just a matter of me checking the translation, editing, timing and typesetting.. each episode.. which I love. ^_^ In the meantime, if any of you know me, you know that I have other shows that I work on.. so it becomes something of a juggling act.

We also setup an IRC channel on Immortal-Anime, and have established an account on Edward_K's tracker. If you're interested in providing a bot in the channel, let me know. My IRC is kinda funky at the moment, but there are many ways of contacting me. So if you're looking for our releases, from this point forward, you can look at http://espada.fansub-torrents.com and you'll be able to find them all. (well, there's only 87 right now, but soon, we'll have them all over there. ^_^)

You can get this release via DDL on my site, http://www.otakara-island.com/ - You only need to make an account, then it's completely free for the download. Just go to the public downloads area. AnimeBreaker is going to upload the episode to megaupload for those of you who don't particularly like making accounts. We'll post that link below once it's uploaded.

Be patient, seeding is slow...
As for Eyeshield, it looks like there's a new translator, and timer for the project, so maybe you can expect new eps soon...
Check our new poll too!
And we're still looking for a new translator, to continue MAR!!

About the releases

You could've noticed there aren't new releases, this is because since university started neither Baki, nor I have any free time, because I am working, and Baki is training for a competition... and we need to learn too -.- So we decided, that, we'll look for new Translator/Timer for Eyeshield 21, and a new Translator for MAR, if anyone is interested please write email, though I can check it only at the weekends, we have the RAWs, and we can do the encode, so we hope there's someone who can help with the translations and timings!
