Yes, this will be released in black and white. Reason why we’re releasing color only for now is because I’ve realized (based on downloader counts) that the color and the B+W release at the same time may have confused some people and made them DL the wrong file. I will release the B+W tomorrow, and based on those DL counts it will be more possible to guage whether people DLing it were DLing it because it was B+W, or becase they were tricked.
As usual, because this show looks better in B+W, I suggest you wait for that release.
h.264: Boring color
h.264 BW: The only way this should be watched
XviD: Quick turnaround!

Are you guys going to release both BW and color until the end for this series or eventually stop color? I don’t know about anybody else, but i’m not a fan of BW, even though it does give things certain characteristics and lets the mind wonder.

LOL, we’ll release color for all episodes. XD

Can I have a sound-only version? ^^
Anyway, thanks for subbing this cool series.
One of the sentences above is meant to be serious.

ppl arent confused they r just stoopid
the real question is: are ppl stoopid enough to wait for the bw release?

I have always like to watch things in black & white, you see things you miss in color. Though I like to watch them in color too, so I have been downloading both versions.
Thank you for both versions and all the other great shows

For whatever its worth, I dl’ed BW intentionally
I enjoy it in BW, but Color is not so bad for now I guess.

Haha, another amusing debate/conversation/series of posts.
Just wondering, is the XviD version of Kyo no Go no Ni Ep 6 coming soon?
And keep up the awesome work, Chihiro!

Is this series will re-release in wide screen version later ?
November 16th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Is the series released in B+W? I’ve never heard of a series being released in B+W, if you’re making it black and white by yourselves, then no, I don’t want B+W releases.

I got tricked once too! Fooled once, shame on you, Fooled twice shame on me!!! So never again will those damn BW will see my PC…

I personally love the Black and white releases, almost as much as I love the terrible reading comprehension of the people who post comments. It makes me laugh on the inside sometimes.
But, I personally think because of the way this anime was drawn and animated it works magnificently well in black and white. I personally think that you should keep making the B&W versions of it, and let the people who are too hasty to read, and in some cases comprehend what they are reading, download the wrong version.

Thanks for the release!

You should improve your B&W release. I expect more noise, burn ins and film jitter. It would be best to pull the framerate up and make every second a black frame. Can you do that for me? It’s really trivial and you have too much time anyway. Thanks and no thanks in advance!
