See? We really didn’t drop it. We really were going to drop it due to lack of interest and a new OP, but enough staff expressed interest in it and the OP got translated, so it’s back. Because we faked a drop, it means that this show is undroppable from this point on.
In other words… Yes. We. Can! (Hehe, cans, get it? Kristen made a funny~)
…
*Slaps self with a carp*
As for some other shows… Maria just need a couple of lines to be checked by the translator, and then that’ll be out. For minami-ke, we just got the raw a couple of hours ago. It’s all translated, but we have a lot of work to do on it still.
h.264: WHAT THE CARP?
DDL: HERE
XviD: Don’t deny it Veritias, you loli!
DDL: I’m just telling the truth!

Thanks for the release

CoalGuys got owned. Take that, Jaka!
February 25th, 2009 at 12:57 am
good you guys kept it because some people are loyal to groups(i am one of them. though i dont watch Akikan from you guys but thats not really a huge deal..) i personally dont know japanese so i normally look for more Video Quality wich i admit you guys where kinda horrible way in the start with that but what had to be done had to be done(i watched those Koharu Biyori eps first from this group) but you guys have seriously improved since then so i do use you guys more often now then i once did.
@Kristen
on that note sorry if i asked this once before cause i really dont remember if i did all those months ago..do you think you will release a version 2 of Penguin Musume Heart ep 21 when the DVD version comes out? also got to ask this also. when do you think all the Sekirei episodes will be up in direct downloads? only ask because i was torrenting them over the summer and AniPlex sent me letter saying to delete them from Utorrent or pay fine wich i dont want to do so i just figured that would be a good way around that
February 25th, 2009 at 1:18 am
I can’t stop!!!! I can’t stop itttt!!!
February 25th, 2009 at 1:18 am
Can! Haha that was such a terrible pun but i definitely got a laugh out of it.
And LOL Carp.
+30 funny points to Kristen
February 25th, 2009 at 1:21 am
Thank you Chirhiro for your hard work! I’m eagerly waiting for the AVI release.
Kristen, you made the joke for the halibut, didn’t you…
February 25th, 2009 at 1:30 am
*chuckle* nothing like a funny pun to start of the night.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:31 am

February 25th, 2009 at 1:34 am

February 25th, 2009 at 1:40 am
Thanks for the release!
6.5 is out, but not going to be subbed. Ever.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:58 am
tyizzle
February 25th, 2009 at 1:59 am
Episode 6.5 is about the VAs all chatting together over some drinks. Not to mention all the girl VA’s are ugly. Not worth watching or subbing.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:46 am
Please..don’t drop from subbing this anime..thanks for release
February 25th, 2009 at 2:49 am
arent most .5′s basically a pointless meet the voice over cast type thing?
February 25th, 2009 at 3:15 am
This just became 1 of my favorite anime’s of all time, Dont drop this, this is the only anime that makes me laugh my head off, the humor is just inscane i cant get enough of it!
February 25th, 2009 at 3:20 am
This show is so damn bad that’s its actually OK. You definitely know it will be horrible every week so you essentially have no problem watching it. However, just when you think it can’t get any dumber, it completely surprises you. I’m too impressed. Its the Excel Saga of 2009.
BTW, anyone who subs or want the subs of 6.5 really needs some professional help.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:23 am
I can’t stay mad at Chihiro…
February 25th, 2009 at 3:29 am
wow is great that you didn’t drop it
XD!!!! akikan! is great
February 25th, 2009 at 6:08 am
YAY I AM EXCITED.
Thank you for not dropping this show, Chihiro, it’s one of my favourites this season~

Akikan is actually a really cute show. Remember to keep your cans full of love now. ^^ Keep up the good work gang! <3
February 25th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Undroppable! Yeeeeaaahhh XD
Yes you can, thanks :3
February 25th, 2009 at 10:21 am

@ Silent Xenocide
Thanks a lot m8.

February 25th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
don’t flame akikan. It might not be very good, but it’s far from shit. If you think Akikan is total shit, thou shall watch Yumeria.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
You know…
just for fun…
I decided to play both the chihiro akikan 7 release and the coalguys akikan 7 release at exactly the same time.
Just to see if there’s any actual difference in their subs…
to be honest…
They both contain the right translations, just a slight difference in wording at times… And sometimes I liked the wording of coalguys better and sometimes I thought the wording of chihiro was better…
to summarize, there really isn’t that much difference at all…
and I really don’t know why coalguys continue to bash chihiro for bad subs, because I quite enjoy them.
Keep up the good work.
In an overall package I liked Chihiro better, because they actually added karaoke to the ending song… and I liked the slightly colored subtitles more too.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
well the only reason why I watch coalguys subs is because they have .mkv that is playable on my computer (I have a slow computer and chihiro’s high quality .mkv isn’t able to play on my computer (it is because the resolution of the movie is to big) ofcourse I could download the .avi but that is lower quality then the .mkv But with the subs of both is nothing wrong they are both great
( I download all your series except akikan & ase no yuichi) [If i have a better computer I would look into it which I like better]
February 25th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
@essiw: I don’t know if it will help or not, but try these steps
1.uninstall any codec packs you have and install the latest CCCP
2.Install CoreAVC
3.Go to your fddshow setting and disable the built-in h264 codec, so that CoreAVC will run instead.
4.Go to you MPC playback–>output settings and select VMR7 renderless
It should give you a 15-20% increase playback power. Hope it helps.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
i love you guys :*
February 25th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
In addition, essiw, Asu no Yoichi shouldn’t present any playback problems. The resolution of 640×480 shouldn’t cause issues on any computer.
Akikan, yes, it may not work with older shows, but Asu should play fine.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
so please keep releasin ur files in xvid…my old laptop cant play this mkv shit!…lookin forward to akikan 7 xvid
February 25th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
k-lite codec pack with ffdshow and media player classic works wonders too. I’ve never had an issue with ANY .mkv’s on my old machine.
I could care less about xvid. Chihiro is the cuteness, while a group who shall remain nameless just seems like a bunch of emos. ^^
February 25th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
@Kristen i did not know it was that resolution (stupid me did think all of your mkv were the same resolution) i’ll try when you release the next one
@DmonHiro
I really tried everything I could but so far the only 2 things that actual do anything are VLC and MplayerOSX-extented. I happened to get a high quality playing in Mplayer but it was just to much flashing (playing the frames to slow, so the speed of the sound did also go faster then the frames…)
thanks for your response but,
I have a mac so all codecs that are avaible are in updates of apple, CCCP isn’t downloadable for mac, also CoreAVC is for windows and not for mac. so I can;t do that
The only solution is buying a faster computer, but well I don;t have that kind of money right now.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
If you replace fddshow with CoreAVC, mkv will run even better. Trust me.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Oh, sorry to hear that essiw. Mac’s are really not my domain.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
@DmonHiro
I hope in the future they make codepacks for mac too (or CCCP or something like that)
No problem
February 25th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
I can play both XVID and MKV, but I prefer XVID. Because you can’t play MKV on your standalone DVD player and XVID can
maybe when i get a fullHD TV, ill start downloading MKV, cuz then i can connect my laptop to my TV with HDMI
February 25th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
@mX: you could try connecting your PC to your TV.
February 25th, 2009 at 6:28 pm
Wow, you’re quality subs are great. Keep up the good work Chihiro!
February 25th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
k-lite codec pack with ffdshow dont work the video is still far away from running smooth….please gimme xvis chihiro im ur biggest fan p,ease

February 25th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
yuuuuuuuuum
February 25th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
gimme gimme let me ave some
February 25th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Please stop spamming. Also, the xivd is encoding, I belive. In the mean time, try installing CoreAVC, and disabling the h264 in fddshow. Let me know if it works. I’m serious, it might actually work for you, so try it.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
hey thx a looooooooooooooooooooooooooot DmonHiro it worked!! runs perfect now!!!…ur the best got to watch the whole thing now thx gain..sry 4 spamming imalittle drunk
February 25th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
ty ;
February 25th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
not a single “waiting for the xvid post“…
thanks for your hard work, chihiro.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
Awesome job Chihiro! That was funniest episode of any anime I’ve seen in a long time. I kid you not, I lol’ed the entire episode! And I’m not ashamed to admit that I like Akikan.
February 25th, 2009 at 8:10 pm
@DmonHiro: How should I do that?
My TV doesn’t have HDMI and also doesn’t have VGA
u have a solution for that :p
February 25th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
Does your TV have a SCART or RCA? And does you video card have TV out?
February 25th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
thanks chihiro
and on a side note, ken spammers should die
February 25th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
gosh, Chihiro’s balls are bigger than coconuts.
February 25th, 2009 at 10:11 pm
wee.. thanks chihiro..
im going to wait for the xvid :p
God speed
February 25th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
Please don’t drop Akikan! I wasn’t expecting much from this series, but every episode proves to be more entertaining than the last! Not only that, but every episode makes me laugh.
I look forward to each and every episode, even more than Asu no Yoichi (another great series!).
February 25th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Hell yeah, I was so damn worried, when I read the “Akikan dropped” post. I haven’t watched any of the episodes so far, will wait until the last one is on my comp, and watch all in a row. I checked this from animenfo some time ago, read description and found it interesting. So far, all but one series I’ve decided to watch just by reading description have been better or the same level of win, as my idea from the description. I’m pretty good with this stuff.
But yeah, thanks for not dropping Akikan. Will be waiting for more.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Thanks guys! Great episode!
February 26th, 2009 at 12:41 am
ty so much
February 26th, 2009 at 2:00 am
LOOOOL This episodes was damn funny. I hope we get to hear more of Melon’s baseball advice hahaha!
February 26th, 2009 at 2:32 am
Finally……
I am starting to like the series, though at first it’s silly
February 26th, 2009 at 2:33 am
Thank you again
February 26th, 2009 at 3:33 am
worst episode yet
February 26th, 2009 at 10:01 am
Thanks a million for not dropping this! Yes it’s cheesy and goofy, but that’s exactly what I need to spice up my boring life
February 26th, 2009 at 4:36 pm

February 28th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
