So, today is May 20th. 1 month ago, on April 20th, we release Code Geass R2 episode 03. It went fairly unnoticed since we didn’t know how to properly release a torrent, and we only beat out the next fastest subbing group by approximately 30 minutes (For the torrent, at least. We were faster by 2 hours for the .ass release).
So, in that time, we have released 22 episodes, and numerous releases inside each torrent. We’ve released Geass 03 - 07, with 2 releases for episodes 4-7 (Usually h.264 and XVid, h.264 and h.264 HQ for 7). So, 9 releases overall for Geass. For Penguin Musume, we have subbed 5 episodes. Only 1 release each. For TLR, we’ve subbed 3 episodes, with a h.264 and XVid for each, so that is 6 releases. For DCIISS, we’ve subbed 7 episodes, with 2 720p releases for each, an rmvb for 6, and h.264 396p’s for 4-7. So, 17 DCIISS releases. And, we subbed Koharu Biyori, releasing 2 episodes in 2 releases each, so 4 releases there.
In other words, we have subbed 22 episodes, and have released 41 times in the past 30 days. Do the math, and that means we’ve done a lot.
And we’re not burning out. If anything, we’re accelerating after being granted the freedom of the summer, and some new staff. We can and will release even more episodes this upcoming month if a second TL joins us. Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, the language doesn’t matter. So long as that translator can give us an accurate episode in a quick amount of time after air time, we’ll release it for you.
Would the eyepatch girl be proud of us? I think so. And then she’d forget that we existed.
Also, anyone have a good collection of screenies of Chihiro? XD

^ If you want to translate from English->Spanish for Da Capo, we could release in multiple languages. But, it would be 720p release only.
Interested?

I’m english->French translator, Maybe could I help you to release this great anime in French ? If you’re interested contact me ^^

If you want to help, you’ll probably have to find me on IRC, both of you. I don’t have any other means to contact you with, since you didn’t leave contact info. Basically, I’ll be expecting a lot of work in the TL department (7 episodes in 2 weeks sound reasonable), and probably won’t be re-releasing until we’re up to date.
Contact me on IRC if you’re interested.

Chihiro is probably the best fansubbing group right now, in terms of speed and quality.
Much better than Eclipse and GG combined (Menclave sucks, slow, haha). IMO Chihiro’s video quality and translation beats the shit out of the previously mentioned groups, great work!

`a50, we really appreciate the comment, but I really think that you should check out the Geass comparisons again. We use raws with no encoding just to release quickly. Heck, most encoders cry from my script I use for Geass. It’s no encoding at all.
If you mean that in the combination of speed and quality we’re better, then I can understand. If you mean that we’re faster in speed AND higher quality, check the quality again.
Of course, thanks to TheFluff deciding to whine about us supporting them, my statements only apply to GG.
