So, we’re finished. We decided to release 26 in the batch instead of individually. Less torrents, I guess. Anyways, we made minor corrections in every episode, and implemented in the redrawn OP/ED that the studio put in later on. Because of the minor corrections, all crcs are different.
Contact Nazo if you want to know what was changed. I honestly don’t know.
Also, we have 14-25 of SD Asura done. We decided to release them as a batch instead of individually, which should be in 1-2 days. Well, at least before Vampire Bund.
720p: Misao!
480p: See above.
Episode 26 DDL: Enjoy!
Nazo Edit: For those of you that are wondering what I changed, they are mostly minor tweaks and a couple of fixes to mistakes that went through QC. The main changes that would affect people are:
- “gravitational superstring” -> “superstring gravity”. It’s actually said the latter way, but I had used the former because fundamentally, I wasn’t sure if the latter was a real term in physics (which it seems to be).
- “Familiar”->”Daughter” when they actually pronounce “Daughter”. In the novels, they used the kanji for “familiar” (pronounced “tsukaima” and I’m too lazy to look up the actual kanji right now) but the accompanying hiragana pronunciation used “doutaa” (or “Daughter”). Following the series in season two, it makes more sense why the author used this term so I changed that.
There were a few other fixes, mostly for consistency reasons (although some were just errors), that were done in each ep, so it’s not just those two bigger changes above. Fortunately, the last ep does NOT contain either reference, so if you’re fine with the original files, you don’t really need to update (no real TL fixes). I’m not sure if you can just rename your files and if it will hash most of it so you don’t have to redownload as much… probably not…
I believe the same fixes will be done for the 480p, but fortunately for you, since we were behind, there’s less to update for you.

January 12th, 2010 at 4:45 am
11 was different in our first batch two. We made a few QC errors and fixed it in the batch.
January 12th, 2010 at 5:16 am
Hey, nice work. Are you guys going to do the DVD version of this series?
January 12th, 2010 at 6:14 am
Would someone please post a DDL/MU/etc.., for episode 26 [720p], of “Asura Cryin”?
Torrents aren’t really an option, for me…
Thank you
January 12th, 2010 at 6:20 am
thk for hardwork man…
i really like this anime. and mostly with your sub
January 12th, 2010 at 6:39 am
That’s “fewer torrents,” Kristen.
Also, it’s 使い魔. As in a spirit which one uses to some usually negative end.
January 12th, 2010 at 6:45 am
thanks for the release guys! the fixes on the terms can also be done by extracting the subs from the original files and editing them. as for the other errors, i’m not sure what is going on there.
anyway, thanks again for the release guys!
January 12th, 2010 at 7:07 am
hey, now that railgun is catching up and is only two episodes behind, and asura cryin’ is darn finished….what happened to sasameki koto? is it dropped or what???
January 12th, 2010 at 7:18 am
>> That’s “fewer torrents,” Kristen.
>> Also, it’s 使い魔. As in a spirit which one uses to some usually negative end.
No! It’s Saito! Baka inu!!!!
January 12th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Time to reDL everything. Thanks and Well done!..
January 12th, 2010 at 9:30 am
Can I request *politely* patches?? It’s wasting your and my bandwidth.
Or you’re the group that don’t know how to do patches??? >.<
January 12th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
D:
January 12th, 2010 at 1:02 pm
Awesome! Thank you so much!
January 12th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
@himatsubusher
They do know. and They also have their own reasons.
January 12th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Hey love the show, can you post episode 26 on animetake ? I can’t use torrent, and have been using animetake to DL the show from Megaupload and hotfile. thanks
January 12th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
That old man from the first stage world, who was he?
January 12th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
It was a pretty decent ending…compared to the rest of last season’s anime ending’s this was defineately on of last season’s better shows
January 12th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
PLZ post a DDL for episode 26!
January 12th, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Thanks for all your hard work Chihiro! While I understand your reasons for doing it as a batch, as a downloader it’s a little frustrating. Feels like all the money spent on my broadband download has been waisted. Although I did notice utorrent did give me the choice to choose to opt out on all if I unchecked the box before pressing “o.k.” while they did not make it completely clear which was which ep.! Thanks for bringing it to us Chihiro. Actually others doing this one have gone for a batch too it seems!
January 13th, 2010 at 1:59 am
DDLs now up at Animetake. Sorry for the delay, guys.
January 13th, 2010 at 3:39 am
@dee6075,
, u must ber reeallyyy new to Torrent downloading
“while they did not make it completely clear which was which ep.!”
That’s wat Epi numbers are for
January 13th, 2010 at 4:53 am
Here’s xdelta patches, 4.4MB instead of ~3GB ^_^
http://www.sendspace.com/file/vscmmr
I’ve only tested on OS X, if the .bat file works on Windows or not I couldn’t say. You’ll have to get the xdelta3 executable from somewhere else. Just place all the files from the zip in the same directory as the “v1” files. It will create the “v2” files in the same directory.
OP2 and ED2 patches were as big as the new files so just download the new ones from the batch torrent. Also since I already burned S1 to DVD I couldn’t make a patch for episode 11. Sorry.
In conclusion the zip file contains patches for 14-25 only and you’re on your own to get it working
January 13th, 2010 at 7:51 am
dudestarrr, it’s being worked on still. Have no fear =D
January 13th, 2010 at 8:52 am
MUST HAVE MAH SD!!!!!!
me want it! XD
January 14th, 2010 at 4:52 am
Nice job^^!!!
But this part still doesn’t fixed >_<;
found scene corrupted on epd 25 at 02:25

Btw, Thank you for this release.
January 14th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
thanks eng. i’ll give it a shot and see how it goes.
January 14th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
@eng
Okay. Wasn’t working but I got it working. I got xdelta3.exe from some other group’s patch for some other episode.
But there was a problem. Anyway, I opened the .bat file and deduced the problem. This could be because you used OS X and it added that \ character to all the brackets but I dunno.
Just edit the .bat file with notepad, use “find and replace”, and replace all “\[" with "[" and "\]” with “]”. Then the .bat works fine. (I’m using XP)
Did a check against the batch torrent and yeah it matches. Now all that needs to be downloaded is episode 26, 11, OP2 and ED2. 1088mb instead of 3460mb. Not perfect but much better. Thanks.
January 15th, 2010 at 12:41 am
@Harimau
Thanks for the update. Indeed OS X uses *nix file naming conventions and hence needs to escape the [ and ] characters. Here’s a .bat file that should work with Windows: http://www.sendspace.com/file/v88l87
You can get an older version of xdelta (hopefully should still work) from here: http://xdelta.googlecode.com/files/xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe and save it as xdelta3.exe
January 15th, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Thanks for the DDL – I love animetake !!! and you guys also !!!!
January 16th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Thanks for the work put in, guys. ^^ Good stuff.
January 17th, 2010 at 1:41 am
Where is the SD batch?
January 17th, 2010 at 7:06 am
Thanks Chihirom this ep had a nice epilogue and fight.
January 17th, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Thanks for this, but as jadesterne pointed out, there’s that video problem with ep 25 (after the OP)
January 17th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
My bad, seems i’ve downloaded the wrong torrent. damn
January 19th, 2010 at 1:56 am
@ Alien Gamer , the eps number did not show nincumpoop! That’s why they weren’t clear until I hit o.k. utorrent wouldn’t tell me which was which so I could’t uncheck any eps if I wanted to! If the numbers were visible they would have been clear don’t you think and at my age I have well and truly learnt how to read numbers you cheaky young pup! I’m not a school kid! Use some common sense!
January 20th, 2010 at 7:21 pm
Is there a SD batch, or am I just retarded and can’t find it?
January 21st, 2010 at 1:34 am
DoomJay: It ain’t out yet according to them…:(
January 21st, 2010 at 5:53 pm
^ZiegZeon Thanks. That’s a bummer.
January 23rd, 2010 at 11:44 pm
“Also, we have 14-25 of SD Asura done. We decided to release them as a batch instead of individually, which should be in 1-2 days. Well, at least before Vampire Bund.”
I don’t mean to be rude or anything but I hope it will be released soon for the SD batch. It has been more than 1-2 days since the 1st post and VB 1 has been released already but still no SD.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Also still waiting for any Asura Cryin’ SD releases… Kinda enoying when you’re left on hold to see if it’ll ever be done… I have 3 days left before moving and be without i-net for 2 weeks but I don’t think it’s realy wise to hope I’ll be able to download it before then huh… =O
January 25th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Ganbatte, Chihiro!
We’re all after SD batch!
January 28th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Please update us on the SD batch!
January 29th, 2010 at 8:29 am
>>102928
>>102963
>>102983
>>103041
>Implying Chihiro are going to release the SD batch.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:05 am
Noko: I don’t get it. Care to elaborate further please?
January 31st, 2010 at 1:13 am
It means they’ll forget about it, and never bother to release it.
Take the XviD versions of Gendaimahou for example.
“Oh yeah, we’ll encode them [the eight episodes] and v2 five and six then release them in a day or two.”
They never bothered, and then they dropped XviD without announcing it to anybody.
So, yeah, I wouldn’t hold your breath.
January 31st, 2010 at 2:02 am
I see what you mean >_< I sure hope they don't abandon the SD. If they can't release it, then I hope they don't bother releasing it to future projects then.
February 1st, 2010 at 4:12 pm
The encoder’s computer died, but now the encoder has a faster computer. The SDs are encoded now, so it should be out soonish.
Also, the Gendai xvid dropping was announced on Dec 1st due to the encoder disappearing and not having the lossless anymore to encode with.
February 1st, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Finally~ A staff replied! Thanks very much for the heads-up! I’m sorry if I posted on some unrelated topics but I only did that because I kept posting here but no staff would post an update. Thanks very much Nazo and the encoder for this. Will wait for the SD batch. ^__^
February 6th, 2010 at 9:36 am
my video won’t play once it reaches the op part can anyone help?? Thx btw for the batch
February 6th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Thx for the release
February 6th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
Still waiting for SD…. T_T
February 8th, 2010 at 2:28 pm
Nazo, any updates of the encoding of the SD batch please?
February 9th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
How amusing… Still no SD… So this is why Chihiro has such a bad reputation… =O
February 10th, 2010 at 2:07 am
poor old ZiegZeon is awaiting for the SD xDD
February 10th, 2010 at 4:04 am
He’ll be waiting a long, looo~oong time.
February 10th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
I’m waiting for the SD too
February 11th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
SD batch!
SD batch!!
SD batch!!!
February 11th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
They finally released it.
That was a quick 1/2d … oh, wait, …
February 12th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
@eng
Thanks for the patch
March 1st, 2010 at 5:15 am
the patch can work on vista??
October 18th, 2010 at 12:53 am
Not really convinced if any one is going to know. I really enjoy Pole Dancing. Where will be able to I acquire a X Pole Xpert ?
