Yeah… That’s right. That’s the OP from SEASON ONE! Last night when Zero-Raws came out with that fake release of ef 11, I saw the opening and was like “Oh, they didn’t!” Ended up the raw they released was memories 11, so I slept easy knowing that they wouldn’t be doing that memories OP. AND THEN THEY DID!
This show has 2 OPs and 2 EDs in the episode, none of which are the same as other episodes. AKA, we need to do 4 karaokes. Don’t expect this until Saturday.

no worries:D take ur time and make it good
December 16th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Go on it. I kicked this anime anyway. ^^
December 17th, 2008 at 12:05 am
Looking forward to it. Keep up the great work
December 17th, 2008 at 12:08 am
yeah, when I watched the RAW I was like ‘omg the subbed version is gonna take forever… how can they put so many different songs in one episode? T__T’ so I was expecting this.
And don’t worry, just take your time. whoever’s in a rush can just watch the raw and if they don’t understand, they can calmly wait for the subbed version. it’s that simple.
btw, does anyone know the name and singer of the insert song of last episode/ second ED of this ep? I was curious but I can’t seem to find it anywhere though….
December 17th, 2008 at 12:20 am
woah, thats crazy.
I’ll wait patiently though.
Thanks a lot Chihiro Fansubs!
December 17th, 2008 at 12:22 am
Ef is Ef. Watching it is always worth it, however long it may take. Thanks for your hard work.
December 17th, 2008 at 1:09 am
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Shaft
December 17th, 2008 at 1:17 am
No need to hurry, I won’t look forward to getting it too much since Mizuki arc isn’t of much interest to me. I’m curious how they’d conclude the whole story, so I’ll be waiting for final ep instead.
@vandakiara: can’t tell for sure, but it seems to me it’s Mizuki’s seiyuu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mai_Goto_(voice_actress)
Check animenewsnetwork.com for ef’s staff (namely, seiyuu). Chances are she’s one of them.
December 17th, 2008 at 2:06 am
hehe.. ef keeps on making chihiro work more~ xD
cant wait for this episode
December 17th, 2008 at 4:39 am
Lollllllll
December 17th, 2008 at 4:41 am
The second ED is sung by Mai Goto and called The Moon Filled Sky. It won’t be officially released until the OST is out on December 26th, so it’s unlikely you will be able to download it though. This episode was amazing.
December 17th, 2008 at 5:00 am
Cool; I wouldn’t mind seeing the season 1 op again…
December 17th, 2008 at 6:32 am
Thank you for rather delay it then fucking up quality.
We can wait. You guys rock.
December 17th, 2008 at 7:16 am
@cyber1: thanks ^-^
@ haruka: oh thanks a lot… and I don’t intend to download it, just wanted to know so I can post that info on my blog ^^
December 17th, 2008 at 7:53 am
Looked at parts of the raw, OMG using the 2nd half of the full OP for season 2 then use part of the full OP for season 1. Man oh man, can Ef get any more creative in their openings? Either way I’m going to love this ep. I just hope that this delay won’t effect your plan release of ep 12. Take your time and make it look good.
LETS PRAY THEY DON’T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR EP 12. Or else more delays.
@Haruka: So mizuki gave it a name at last. She also finishes the song for Yuuko, nice.
December 17th, 2008 at 8:05 am
seems like they felt like making up for last episode which had no OP :p
December 17th, 2008 at 11:49 am
@maniac: It had a heartbreaking ED though =)
December 17th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
ef is near it’s end ;(
December 17th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
One of our encoders said:
|encoder| When did ef turn in Macross 7?
I LOLed.
December 17th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
at least I now know what’s the meaning of those german words during every episode… well… since I wrote every of them with the number in some stupid txt document it was pretty easy to realize… never would’ve thought those words were the german translation of this song
December 17th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
ef is one of a kind :p
December 19th, 2008 at 6:16 am
I always wanted to know, why the hack they use german instead of Jap or Eng since german really sucks (4 years on high school) that’s just horrible
btw. I thought, that a lot of songs can appear in the beginning of serie and they left it for the end… poor yuuki
December 19th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
german structure and mentality is closer to japanese that’s why the used german lyrics
December 19th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
@ayame
And that’s for sure? Never thought japanese people where that retarded.
December 19th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
As retarded as the Japanese are, Americans are more retarded.
December 19th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
true true
but I never imagined that german is that close to japanese 
I was a few times in germany and it’s like… i don’t know how to explain it, maybe like: idiot in every corner, and if you were to meet somebody interesting, it won’t be german + their language really sux and it’s horrible “in tone” (I realized it after 4 years on high school, when i was learning it as a secondary language (eng + ger) )
but you can have another opinions, but i dont care :O cos i am from czech republic and we sux too
December 19th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Well, having Russian (which is said to be the second hardest language to study, next to Chinese) as my native language, I can’t blame anyone for having language that’s hard to learn… It seems to me that German was chosen simply as a “language that’s not supposed to be understood by Japanese”. Though I’d prefer it to be Italian instead (that’d match Kuze’s violin better, since both Stradivari and Paganini were Italians).
December 20th, 2008 at 10:10 am
that’s true, but russian is hard to learn? I am not sure, but for us (czech) russian is not so hard, about 75% of ppl on high schools and universities pick up russian, cos they say: “It’s easy” and i know that my mother, father, grandpas, grandmas can understand and speak a bit
but i am sure that for some nationalities it would be hard, but czech language is not that simple too, we have ?,š,?,?,ž,ý,á,í,é, we use “,” much often than in english…
thx for release
like: Ahoj, já jsem Jack, a ty jsi? Já jsem Petr, z ?eské Republiky, je mi 28 let.
Hi, I am Jack and you are? I am Peter from Czech republic and I am 28 years old.
and we have somethink like ?eská republika – In ?eské republice …
that’s hard to learn for foreigners
but that does not matter at all

Hot damn, awesome job! Two new verses to the Melodies Op and Ed, the Memories Op, and a new ED song in one ep. I like the Karaoke work you did on the new ED. The Karaoke for Euphoric field was a little hard to follow sometimes, especially when you “blended” it with the writing in the background and move it someplace other than the corners, but the attention to detail was amazing.
Good luck next week, I bet they’re going to do Ebullient Future japanese version. I love both ops, but Euphoric Field was much better in Japanese, lol, can’t wait to hear Ebullient Future in Japanese.
