Akikan 09 Released!

A panty shot doesn’t hurt, does it?

Also, please place all whining of “Where is Akikan?” in THIS thread. This thread is meant to talk about Akikan. Other threads are meant to talk about the shows they correspond to.

Answer to where is Akikan is “Akikan is in exams”.

Also, I’ve been struck with the curse of laziness, so ZKC 13, the 3rd release, will be delayed to tomorrow.

h.264: Here
DDL: HERE

XviD: Now, if only those panties were off…
DDL: ^ Yes, please.

    y’know Kristin, you really shouldn’t admit to the curse of laziness. blame it on something like:

    “Yea my sister broker her leg on the trampoline this afternoon so I had to rush her to the hospital” or something like that.

    Anyway, thx for the release was waiting *cough*patiently*coughcough* for this one.

    Thanks for the release, appreciated :) where is ep 10 ahahha xD

  25. Soichiro Says:

    > why do you have to be the only one subbing this. you guys take forever

    Back in the day, fansubs took a month to do one episode, and leechers LIKED it. You leechers nowadays are spoiled assholes. If you don’t like the speed we’re releasing at, learn Japanese and do it yourself.

    owned xD ; gotta agree, ppl expecting crap done now with no gratitude whatsoever…. but oh wells, there’ll always be douchebags out there

  27. hanzo Says:

    as long as it dosent take a month to download and the subs make sense im not bothered about how long you take…could be worse i could have to wait for the dvds instead.

  28. seeker Says:

    > why do you have to be the only one subbing this. you guys take forever

    I actually think they’re quite fast, considering Chihiro’s subs are all excellent quality. There are plenty of speed sub groups that don’t care what crap they release, so long as it’s first. Chihiro do a fantastic job, and if you don’t like their subs, you could always just wait 4-6 years for it to be dubbed in English and released commercially.

  29. Zig Says:

    Guess the Panty size!!!!

    yah i agree with that!that’s the only reason why this is the only site where i download my latest anime’s…and of course DATTEBAYO’S BLEACH..hehe….long live chihiro!!!!

    nwei…i don’t care ’bout the panty…but her butt is cute!lol

  31. Mervil Says:

    We want Akikan !!!

  32. maniac Says:

    her butt is cute but i dont like the panties , looks too childish :P i d expect something more sexy whoever it was in that swhow….
    except the littlke kiddo ofc. if i see something like that i ll prob puke hahaha :p

  33. Silent Xenocide Says:

    @Oblibion – About moe, there should be a wiki article for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_(slang)

    Thanks for the release, this is one of the only good shows this season.

  34. Artein Says:

    Thx for new episode.
    I was worrying that you gonna drop this show.
    Thx one more time Chihiro

  35. MaD-EyE-MoOdY Says:

    the only thing i hate abt this show its how poorly its drawn … xD anything other than that is more or less good =]

  36. Markus Says:

    am i the only one that has normal size subs in the intro but way to large the rest of the show?
    I even updated the players, codex (ffd, virtualsub, haali, you name it) and resetted them to default setitngs.
    Most be something on my end but can’t find out what.

  37. pcs Says:

    So…

    Where is exams?

  38. Sarreq Teryx Says:

    hmmmm, looks like a double D ass……

    Oh sorry, we weren’t guessing cheek size were we………………

    ;P

  39. John Says:

    reli u guys should’nt complain about the speed though i wont say that it came out very fast
    anyway u should be grateful to the fact that someone actually subbed it

    btw why is h.264 always out first

  40. Silent Xenocide Says:

    @Markus – what are you using to play these episodes? I watch its on media player classic, and the subs are fine for me.

    @John – That’s because h.264 is better of course.

  41. DmonHiro Says:

    @John: beacuse of the format (mkv VS avi), the h264 does not need to wait for the translation to be encoded. The moment we get the .ts, we can encode the h264, even if the TL was not even started. The xvid need to wait for the TL, TLC, ED, TM and QC before it’s done.

    Timelines (with example time)
    h264: get .ts (2 PM) –>encode .mkv (6 PM) –> TL,TLC,ED,TM, QC (8 PM) –> release (8:10 PM)
    xvid: get .ts (2 PM) –> TL,TLC,ED,TM, QC (8 PM) –> encode .avi (0 AM) –> release (0:10 AM)

    Combine that with the fact that the xvid encoder is not always available, and that he really hates doing it, and you get the point

  42. Markus Says:

    @ silent MPC Homecinema v 1.2.908
    but also tried it in zoomplayer, Vlc, bsplayer, wmp and its the same everywhere, so im thinking it a setting from directvobsub or haali (there icons show when playing so i asume its using them)
    but can find anything wrong there.

  43. LexxBomb Says:

    thanks Chihiro for the great work…\
    For those bitching stop it :)
    aw well as the fansubs I always buy the DVD when they get Official releases…

    get Zoom Player it works great with the MKVs

  44. chan-kun Says:

    thanks for the release, btw Soichiro, did u get your name from the guy that founded Honda? (Soichiro Honda).

  45. Osin Says:

    thx, but it’s another ep with huge font =(

  46. mX Says:

    thx mX @ w8ing 4 Xvid

  47. CodeGeass Says:

    great!!! ~waiting for xvid….

    great job chihiro!! Thanks

    ~mwah!

  48. KarlE Says:

    Thank you for explaining understandably how the “XviD lag” comes about. A shame that the encoder dislikes it but still, many thanks to him for eventually doing it anyway.
    To the whole team, thank you for supplying quality subs, I hope you will keep it up and continue doing so for a long time. ;)

  49. Kuglbix Says:

    I guess akikan is a chinese -> english show, or how do you explain the “tenkuuji namaji” at 15:04, if there is CLEARLY tenkuuji NAJIMI written in kana?

  50. Shirofin Says:

    Thanks again
    :)

  51. Silent Xenocide Says:

    @Markus
    What you could try doing is simply uninstalling all codecs and what have you, and then just downloading and installing one codec pack. That could make a difference, assuming you haven’t tried already.

  52. DmonHiro Says:

    @Kuglbix: No, Akikan is Jap->Eng. That’s a typo. Didn’t you notice THAT’S THE ONLY PLACE we didn’t write “Najimi”? How come people always come to the most distant conclusion from the posibillities?

  53. Carlucho Says:

    THX!! ^^

  54. Kuglbix Says:

    @Dmon: So the editors/QCers were drunken, I presume…

  55. essiw Says:

    @ Kuglbix
    Editors are humans too, humans can make mistakes, they aren’t machines

  56. DmonHiro Says:

    @Kuglbix: if you’re gonna talk about typos….it’s “were drunk”, not “were drunken”. Talk about self-pawn.

  57. FiSSion Says:

    rofl
    I half come here for the episodes, half for the bander and bitch-slapping that goes on in the comments. It makes my day coming home from work just to laugh at the stuff people complain about then get pwnd by the release staff. gj guys.

  58. Kuglbix Says:

    @Dmon:
    As a non-native with horrible active skills in English, doesn’t bother me. You got my point, and if there is nothing more to bitch about than typos, seems I was right :-P .

    @essiw:
    TL mistakes can happen, if you don’t have a TLC, nobody can fix it, because nobody speaks Japanese.
    But mispelling a name heard like 10.000 times?

  59. /a/ tripfag Says:

    when will you guys do more akikans?

  60. DmonHiro Says:

    Never, it’s dropped.

  61. Stam Says:

    Thanks for the subs you are great guyz

  62. Gregory Says:

    Actually, sometimes it does hurt…

  63. EternalTears Says:

    Ok so I’m having a little problem with the files you release, the audio and video aren’t sync.
    When I watch Soul Eater or any Dattebayo subbed files I never have this problem, redownloaded the file 2x still the same.
    Tried different players and switching codecs but still it does not run sync.
    Any suggestions?

  64. awesomeness Says:

    !!CHECK OUT!! >>>>>>>>>>> Phoanime.com<<<<<<<<<<< !!CHECK OUT!!

  65. what Says:

    Yeah, I still don’t get any subtitles at all. Not in Zoomplayer, VLC, MPC, or Mplayer. Not with MPlayer codecs, not with K-Lite, not with CCCP.

    Since every other fansub team’s stuff plays fine for me, I’m gonna go ahead and blame this on you guys.

  66. ranmachua Says:

    I don’t know what’s exactly going on but hey, stop blaming and accusing the fansubbers. I think they did quite a good job for Akikan seeing that no other fansubbing groups are doing it. Keep up the good work & effort, Chihiro.

  67. EternalTears Says:

    Neh sorry I have to blame you guys to XD
    I’ve watched all anime for this week and everything worked fine as always but I still haven’t seen Akikan 09 due to the sync problem.
    ~Please don’t make me stream it! >: \

  68. Malcho Says:

    get a better computer ;p

  69. chan-kun Says:

    if u use mpc in cccp, mkv should play perfectly fine, but my Akikan! mkv file was also out of sync, while all other mkv eps. i have plays fine.

    so it has nothing to do with the computer, don`t know what to blame tough.

  70. Ahhh Says:

    Great!!! Thx a lot Chihiro… no problems with mkv or others things, a great episode !! Thanks, thanks, a lot of thanks!!!

  71. Gator Says:

    ” this is one of the most popular shows out right now…but noone cares to sub it”

    Is this true?

    I’m sorry.. I just don’t see it =/ I mean, I understand the premise, but this show is exactly like “insert generic premise and animation here”

  72. what Says:

    @ranmachua

    Sure, their effort is appreciated, but if they can’t encode it so everyone can watch it like EVERY OTHER FANSUB GROUP does, then, they’re gonna have to expect complaints.

    It’s not like I’m just trying it in VLC and going “Waaah it doesnt work fix it for me”. I have tried it with MPC Classic and Home Cinema, With CCCP and K-Lite. I have tried it in VLC with CCCP and K-Lite. I have tried it in Zoomplayer, with their codec installer. I have tried it in MPlayer with the MPlayer recommended codecs. NONE of them show a subtitle file, yet it’s right there in the container. There is no other fansub group who I’ve had this problem with, just Chihiro.

    And “I think they did quite a good job for Akikan seeing that no other fansubbing groups are doing it.” isn’t really a working argument. If you go to a pizza place and no one makes your pizza, but I make one for you and lock it in a steel box, are you going to thank me?

  73. sighs Says:

    I would actually thank people if they did that because even a steel box isn’t impenetrable. Give it enough time, I could crack it. If it’s between taking time to crack it and not being available anywhere else and I want pizza, I’ll thank you for doing that.

    I’m so honoured you guys work on Akikan, it’s my fave anime this whole season. I don’t care how long it takes you guys to get an ep done.

  74. what Says:

    @sighs

    Not to be offensive, but that makes you an idiot. A normal person would go somewhere else, or if it wasn’t available, ask the establishment to make it available.

    I wish CoalGuys would pick this back up, they did it right.

  75. what Says:

    && Just so there’s no confusion; I’m not hating on Chihiro for any reason other than the fact I can’t watch a fucking .mkv with subtitles from them.
