Akikan 07 Released!

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!

  7. hooh Says:

    CoalGuys got owned. Take that, Jaka!

  8. RyokoandAyekaLover Says:

    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

  15. lordvivec Says:

    Thanks for the release!

    6.5 is out, but not going to be subbed. Ever.

  16. katokalen Says:

    tyizzle

  17. Silent Xenocide Says:

    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.

  18. Kuzumi Says:

    Please..don’t drop from subbing this anime..thanks for release

  19. hanzo Says:

    arent most .5′s basically a pointless meet the voice over cast type thing?

  20. Rei Fields Says:

    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!

  21. Megas Says:

    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.

  22. Gregory Says:

    I can’t stay mad at Chihiro…

  23. Mukiwara Says:

    wow is great that you didn’t drop it

  35. Zig Says:

    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.

  36. Vlaeghe Says:

    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.

  37. essiw Says:

    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 :D ( 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]

  38. DmonHiro Says:

    @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.

  39. marius Says:

    i love you guys :*

  40. Kristen Says:

    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.

  41. xvid is the reason why cihiro rocks!!! Says:

    so please keep releasin ur files in xvid…my old laptop cant play this mkv shit!…lookin forward to akikan 7 xvid

  42. Lily Hime Says:

    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. ^^

  43. essiw Says:

    @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 :D

    @DmonHiro
    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 :( 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…)
    The only solution is buying a faster computer, but well I don;t have that kind of money right now.

  44. DmonHiro Says:

    If you replace fddshow with CoreAVC, mkv will run even better. Trust me.

  45. DmonHiro Says:

    Oh, sorry to hear that essiw. Mac’s are really not my domain.

  46. essiw Says:

    @DmonHiro
    No problem ;) I hope in the future they make codepacks for mac too (or CCCP or something like that)

  47. mX Says:

    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

  48. DmonHiro Says:

    @mX: you could try connecting your PC to your TV.

  49. ? Says:

    Wow, you’re quality subs are great. Keep up the good work Chihiro!

  50. xvid is the reason why cihiro rocks!!! Says:

    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

  51. xvid is the reason why cihiro rocks!!! Says:

    Fishsticks Fishsticks

  52. xvid is the reason why cihiro rocks!!! Says:

    yuuuuuuuuum

  53. xvid is the reason why cihiro rocks!!! Says:

    gimme gimme let me ave some

  54. DmonHiro Says:

    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.

  55. xvid is the reason why cihiro rocks!!! Says:

    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

  56. blackdream Says:

    ty ; :)

  57. chan-kun Says:

    not a single “waiting for the xvid post“…

    thanks for your hard work, chihiro.

  58. CDP5280 Says:

    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.

  59. mX Says:

    @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

  60. DmonHiro Says:

    Does your TV have a SCART or RCA? And does you video card have TV out?

  61. z n 1 Says:

    thanks chihiro

    and on a side note, ken spammers should die

  62. Snake's Solids Says:

    gosh, Chihiro’s balls are bigger than coconuts.

  63. CodeGeass Says:

    wee.. thanks chihiro..

    im going to wait for the xvid :p

    God speed

  64. Ken Says:

    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!).

  65. Regigo Says:

    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.

  66. Skullman Says:

    Thanks guys! Great episode!

  67. frosencarrotz Says:

  69. Mark Says:

  71. qwest96 Says:
