So, I decided to skip an ecchi shot this week for a moe one. If you want an ecchi craze, here.
Earlier than last week! Yay! And the girl I’ve wanted to see in THIS series is introduced as well! ^.^
We start widescreens next week, so if there’s anything with episode 01 that you thought was wrong, please speak up so we can fix it. We know about that->than.
We also would like to use the official lyrics for the entire set of WS releases, so hopefully some group will release the single with scans by Thursday. I have yet to see any, even though it came out in Japan last week.

For the Staff of Chihiro. I’ve noticed that a lot of people want the Xvid and don’t want to wait. For some reason you guys release it later.
This is just an offer, but if you want I can encode it to Xvid in 20 minutes after release if you want. I use meGUI and always do 2 pass, small size and high bitrates. It’s just an offer so contact me if you want to me to help out.
Cybotico@hotmail.com is my email!

<3 love chihiro keep up the good work and thanks for the h264′s there always the highest quality work ^.^
January 25th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
@Ortix: I have already explained this like…….8 times, but whatever. The h264 comes first because it is always READY first. The encode for ANY h264 version is ready even 24 hours BEFORE the translation/timing is done. So when the scripts is finished, all that is lefet to do is to mux it in. Encoding the xvid can not start until the script is 100% ready, and encoding a hardsubs xvid will ALWAYS take more time then muxing in the subtitle with the already prepared h264.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
PS: I don’t give a crap that people want the xivd first , and don’t want to wait.
January 25th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
If, however you were offering to make an xvid using the h264 version we put out first, I will have to decline, unless the encoder says otherwise.
January 25th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Oh, I did not read the post fully, Chihiro will be releasing WS versions, will wait for those instead. Thank you.
January 25th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
hey no problem, just wondered if I could help out. Just so u know, I can always help with encoding if needed. I didn’t know this was the case with xvid. I also hate it when people whine about the xvid. Just reencode it or download the goddamn cccp.

the episode was good but the manga chapter of this episode was alot better
January 26th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Good job, Chihiro. As always.
I wondered why Angela’s and Tsubasa’s school is called Tsubame Benten. While the juxtaposition of words sounds fine it just doesn’t make much sense to put Benzai-tennyo, the goddess of quite a number of things not including birds, next to swallow.
January 27th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Nice job! Love this series. hope the next episode would be great!
January 27th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
Thanks guys.This series is good – filling the void left after Rosario stopped (sob)
January 27th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
This just makes me want series 2 Sekirei even more. *cry*
Quality show though, love how each character has their own vision.
