Happy 1 Year Anniversary, Chihiro! – Kristen can’t spell edition!

So, on April 20th, 2008, Chihiro released Code Geass episode 3, the first episode it had ever released. Within 12 hours, it had also released Penguin Musume Heart 01, and thus, Chihiro was born. XD

We’ve been through a lot this past year. 340 episodes released (About 1 every 1.07 days) is a good place to start with. This is 5 days, 21 hours, and 40 minutes of anime episodes released by us.

It’s been fun, and I hope this fun will continue.

Though I must say, we picked a pretty bad date to form on. It’s also the birthday of Adolf Hitler, and the anniversary of the Columbine Shootings. >.> Maybe it’s best to say we formed on the 19th, the day that we conceived of the idea to form the group?

  85. Endersgame Says:

    Happy Birthday Chihiro! :)

    As this is the most recent thread I thought I would ask here, what do you guys find to be the best player for your releases? I’ve been using GOM player for like a year now but have realized that I don’t get any of the cool styling/fonts/anything cool that you put in your subs unless its hardsubed and I would rather not go back to hardsubs. Anyway a suggestion would be appreciated so I can watch your releases in all there glory. Thanks :)

    To the fools who want us to sub Naruto Shippuden Movie 2: Never going to happen. It could be because we all think Naruto sucks….but it’s motly because there is no way to sub a movie with no decent DVD raws. [640x360] [XVID+Lame MP3] is NOT decent.

  113. Modhesh Says:

    Just asking, when will Asura Cryin’ be out? I know there’s available right now but I want Chihiro’s..
