Update on Working

We are never going to release Working 13 because you idiots can’t understand a simple request like, “Don’t ask about Working 13, especially in a post that’s about a completely different show such as Hayate no Gotoku.”

(For those of you who aren’t so keen on sarcasm, we are going to release Working, eventually. We just wish people would not be idiots. That’s all. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. We won’t drop a series unless we specifically say it’s dropped.)

Edit: To the suggestion to disable comments, it’s not a bad suggestion, but I’d hate to do that. It pisses me off when a place will ban something for everyone just because a few people act stupid, so I don’t want to do that and be a hypocrite.

P.S. K-On 13 is done, we’re just waiting for Kristen, who mysteriously disappeared, to return so she can release it. We don’t actually know when Working 13 will be done because the QCer seems to have also mysteriously disappeared.

    Most people are idiots. You should have noticed that by now.

  2. Trellmor Says:

    But people are idiots. No exceptions.

  3. p1k4ch3w Says:

    OR! You can end all this asking by posting updates on how much you’ve done, and what’s left to do. It’s possible. I know this, because I’ve seen other fansubs do it.

    We already did this. We told you it’s at the QC stage.

  4. Yoshi-kun Says:

    Huh? We still have that type of persistent idiots around?
    Take your time and delay the release then.
    I’ll be fun to see the frustration of idiots. BWAHAHAHA
    (but really, don’t wait too long =)

  5. FiSSi0n Says:

    Unfortunately, the truth is 95% of people are idiots, and the other 5% have to work at it to keep those people alive. Unfortunate but true fact of life.

  6. JT Says:

    Or you could disable comments if it’s pissing you off that much. Ignoring idiots until they go away doesn’t work on the internets but not giving them the chance to speak their “minds” would work. You’d still have IRC anyways, just a thought.

  7. desti Says:

    Like already mentioned, how about disabling comment function? There’s still IRC if one needs to say something too badly.

  8. WHYRD Says:

    Just ignore all the idiots and go at your own pace, either way they’re gonna wait for it

  9. Tuan Says:

    Thank you on the update though, you even took your time to address the problem.

  10. JJ Says:

    Problem is people expect things from fansubbers, they work for free so you shouldn’t expect any thing, except maybe a f**k you, it will get released when we want not when you want.

  11. sam Says:

    >We just wish people would not be idiots.
    And then there will be world peace.

  12. Shadow Says:

    Even though I know this post was sarcasm, I agree with JT.

    Personally, I’m just thankful ppl like yourselves do this kind of thing. If some stupid twat(s) gets under your skin and brings you all this much grief, kill the comments. Otherwise, you’re just making the trolls happy with “punishment” delays. I mean, if you think about it, it’s plenty easy for anyone to find Working 13 out there and then troll your comments for kicks to make fans miserable.

    Btw, glad to see the new hardware is making things smoother for ya, Soichiro. I’m gonna check out Hayate first season and grab your 2nd season batch when it’s done. Thanks in advance! :)

  13. Gaarara Says:

    disable spam like others have stated.

  14. Gummi Says:

    I’m more curious as to when K-on 13 is going to get done. Not that I’m asking.
    As long as stuff gets doen one time or another, its fine with me.
    Take your time!

  15. Soichiro Says:

    The important thing is that Chihiro is going to release all of our shows at one point or another. We just might have delays some weeks due to school or work or whatever. But we will release it unless we specifically say a series is dropped.

  16. Tow3r Says:

    Ignore those idiots and just ban them , now i see why DB became asshole , i hope you guys won’t end like that . So people stop asking the obvious things , be facking patient or go hang yourself .

    with all respect to all fansubbers in the world . thank you.

  17. strike-2 Says:

    Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
    You had me scared there for a minute…

  18. Modhesh Says:

    You can’t stop Idiots from coming. They’re multiplying even without a mother. So Thank you chihiro for lasting this long. :) )

  19. navyz Says:

    Turn out the comments if you can not take criticism. You crybabies!

  20. SK Says:

    Just ban IPs then.

  21. Ryuukun Says:

    I usually don’t post here but i have to get this off my chest.
    You guys take comments too serious.
    If you’re releasing something people looking forwards to, you’re
    bound to get beggers, whiners and flamers.
    You guys make yourself look like idiots if you keep on getting angry about those people.
    I understand that this post is a little sarcastic but a few posts earlier the “Fair warning” one
    is just as ridiculous.

    My tip to you.
    Stop giving shit about comments

    Best regards.

  22. Tow3r Says:

    Well i have to add , you guys enjoy subbing ,don’t you ? if so just ignore them . If you pick anime to do and i will watch that anime , i ignore other releases , anyway keep up the good work.

  23. zeratul678(born 199x) Says:

    “It pisses me off when a place will ban something for everyone just because a few people act stupid” lol~

    Some special people just can’t wait do they? These guys have a life too, however, laziness means they don’t have a life and should instead put all that energy into releasing an episode of an anime. What’s wrong with kids these days?

  24. Psyme Says:

    @Modhesh

    They bud asexually. That’s because they have not evolved to a point of meiosis, nor to the intelligence required to act upon it.

  25. Goodwine Says:

    I like your new header images :P

  26. Laughmaster Says:

    The entire concept of this type of message makes me sad. I usually try to ignore trolls and idiots (and I assume you do too), but when the problem becomes too annoying to ignore, it reminds me just how many ignorant, annoying people are on the internet. This kind of thing pisses me off almost as much as reading YouTube comments. Even out of the people commenting on this post, there have only been 2 people who actually used correct grammar and 10 people (almost half) who don’t have anything good to say but feel the need to comment anyway (not counting Tow3r twice).

    Honestly, I wish people would realize that the internet is not just some place where you should act like you’re 5 years old.

  27. liddokun420x Says:

    why r u guys even subbing working? Group A and Group B are releasing betterother versions. u guys should focus on your other stuff

  28. Alestar Says:

    I believe you have a good job subbing Working so far

    I believe it wont take long before you release the next episode which i will wait patiently for

  29. LoliLuv Says:

    Screw them!

    Probably damn kids/teen/college kids who have NO clue or too much time on their hands! Get a LIFE!!

    The rest of us appreciate your work :)

    Thank you!!

  30. Ninja Says:

    To all idiots in this world, do not defile this sacred place by spreading your noobishness on this site.

  31. Ren Says:

    Providing a free service, you are going to have problems with people feeling entitled to your work so you need to be prepared. I say you should IP ban anyone who tells you to focus on a different project or is otherwise trolling but just ignore people asking about if X show is done yet. That said, you should wield the ban-hammer responsibly so you don’t become like those jerks at DB.

    Thanks for the great work team Chihiro.

  32. Master Shadow Says:

    How about you get a shotbox or some kind of chat/comment thing for the front page? As you have the site set up now the only way to say anything to you is through the comments, and most people would assume the most recent post would be the best to reach you.

    Something like what Doki has on their front page. http://doki.hologfx.com/

  33. Dokuro-chan Says:

    I really hope you are putting broad IP bans on anyone who does this. Personally, I think when you say “if you ask about working we will delay it,” some trolls think it is a good idea to ask about it just to piss you off and make you “regret” your words.

    It really pisses ME off when there is so much idiocy going around, such as there is now, so please, take up the hammer of justice and do whatever is necessary to keep the peace.

  34. Soichiro Says:

    I wish it was easier to IP ban people on WordPress, but actually, it’s incredibly complicated and difficult. There’s supposedly a plugin for it, but only the server administrator can install plugins, and he’s very lazy, lol. Otherwise, I would’ve been banning people all over the place by now. :p

  35. p1k4ch3w Says:

    “OR! You can end all this asking by posting updates on how much you’ve done, and what’s left to do. It’s possible. I know this, because I’ve seen other fansubs do it.

    We already did this. We told you it’s at the QC stage.”

    Actually, I meant to say that you could make room for a permanent part of the site that keeps people updated of what you do and how far you’ve gotten. I think that would work.

  36. fac3l3ss Says:

    Just as a side note: I like how everyone posting here thinks he himself is not an idiot :D

  37. Manhatten Says:

    Wishing that people wouldn’t act like idiots is like wishing that water wasn’t wet. You can wish all you want, but you’re still going to get rained on.

  38. Psyme Says:

    And how, by chance, do you know what other posters are thinking?

  39. CaNNoNFoDDa Says:

    Thanks for your hard work

  40. Axlen Says:

    I think, therefore I am… an idiot. We are all idiots to somebody. Why do I bother posting here. This is a truly pointless comment.

  41. CyberMirage Says:

    “Actually, I meant to say that you could make room for a permanent part of the site that keeps people updated of what you do and how far you’ve gotten. I think that would work.”

    Honestly, I don’t think it will. It’ll probably just change to people whining that we don’t update it enough.

  42. Revy Says:

    I love chirios hard work and love the shows you pick I watch all of them :) but dam there really are some fuck tards out there pestering you guys and asking non stop release this release this are you going to do this are you going to do that xD people need to learn some patience

  43. Kibbles Says:

    It’s funny how some fansubs whine about the 13yr old like comments when they themselves act that way. Nothing wrong with it, but don’t expect the comments to be all meaningful when you yourself pull trolls/rants/whining.

    Why not turn off comments? If someone REALLY wanted to say something, don’t you have IRC?

  44. A Says:

    Maybe a good idea would be to autospam show names.

    Then people would be forced to whine about “this show” in its respective post.

  45. Loki Says:

    Maybe you can make a member point system, everything a member makes an offensive or stupid comment gets 1 point deducted.
    When the points reaches 0, he would be suspended from making comments for like 3 days or 1 week?

  46. kaguzuchi Says:

    I don’t even look at the airing schedule. When you make a release I download it. I pick only one group to download from a show that I’m watching. Keep up the good work.

  47. Sarreq Teryx Says:

    time to find a good disemvowelling script….

  48. John R Says:

    Hey just leaving a comment saying take your time and keep up the good work. I have a suggestion about the whole people asking about when certain episodes will come out. Why not set up a registration on your site. That way you can have people register as users to leave comments. That way if there’s someone that is asking when a episode comes out you can ban their IP and delete their account so that they can’t post comments or even view the site. Just a suggestion though, not sure if you want to go through with it just cause of a few people.

    anyway keep up the good work! =D

  49. Andrew Says:

    Ignore the comments and save yourself the trouble.

    Idiots will always find a way to request for their animes, disabling the comments will only make them use IRC.

    If I were you I’d just leave the comments on to keep the “peasants” happy.

  50. llort Says:

    SO IS WORKING 13 GOING TO BE RELEASED? WHEN?

  51. Warll Says:

    When on earth are you getting mad over dumb comments? So what if they ask when its coming out, its not like you have to answer them or read their entire post!

  52. Nya~n Says:

    Take your time guys. Unlike them idiots out there, the rest of us are more than willing to wait, no matter how long.

  53. tonto Says:

    so, when working ‘ll be out ?

  54. Spind Says:

    Yup, the first show ive seen from Chihiro was ZKC, even though you take your time to sub it, the wait is worth it. I’ve been following the group ever since.

    Thanks a lot Chihiro for your hard work on the animes you sub.

  55. Holo Says:

    I just ignore them lol

  56. zeratul678 Says:

    Are people that like to ban people for being stupid sadist?

  57. GB Says:

    haha yes.. scold the idiots :X
    for a moment i thought you guys ganna drop working!! after reading 2 sentence but it isn’t.
    anyway keep up the good work.. recently u guys have posted alot of ray ray stuff which is nice :)

  58. Vladson Says:

    >>> We just wish people would not be idiots
    Keep dreaming ^_^

  59. FiftyNine Says:

    I like how many people try to show in this thread they are not mentioned idiots.

  60. Psyme Says:

    Yourself included.

    Of course, in saying that, makes myself included as well. And somebody is obvscum, because the poisoned wine is definitely in front of me.

  61. PinkP Says:

    i’m in no rush^^ I know you will get to it when you can, busy chihiro subs.

  62. fkyou Says:

    could care less about working……. just release the dam thing>> end of story…… now you can concentrate on rl issues instead of having these idiots give you a hard time.. which obviously is getting to you XD

  63. Anima Says:

    Actually, people posting encouragements it’s kinda important. Normally the people who can wait do not post before a release, a silent majority if you want. That makes impatient idiots and trolls appear to be more numerous than they are.
    For every idiot that comments, there are several fans who wait patiently for the release of their favourite Fansub-group, even when other groups have released long ago.
    So please just continue as you have. Your effort is really appreciated.

    @ Soichiro
    Thanks for the instructions to compile MPlayer, works like a charm. Finally, no need to dread ordered chapters anymore.

  64. Ren Says:

    @FiftyNine: Chihiro isn’t saying they don’t want people commenting, they are saying they don’t want people complaining about X release not being out. Most people here are giving words of encouragement to Chihiro, what are you talking about?

  65. Bored Fan Says:

    There are other good groups that are not so slow, childish and stuck-up.
    I`m downloading my subs with them.

    Thanks for the realy good work!

    AND FINALLY COME DOWN YOU IDIOTS!

  66. Maldark Says:

    Thanks for the update guys, I’m a fan of your work and Working!! turned out to be one of my favourite shows of the season, looking forward to it when it’s done.

  67. Whatever Says:

    I have been following you guys for a little bit because you’ve had quality releases, etc. I do want to say one thing. Just shut the fuck up. The more you bellyache about people being idiots, the more they’re going to whine and complain because they know they’re getting on your nerves.

    However as far as the release goes, I think it’s been 100% fine. It’s not that slow at all.

    (Friendly advice from an ex-website designer)

  68. Crystal Says:

    Okay, so I rarely post, if at all, just to put a light on the following comment:

    I thought you were serious so I was very sad! XD

    But I’m definitely, DEFINITELY the guillable type…so I’m very happy that you are making it.

    And thank you for doing so!

    If I’m suffering withdrawal from new releases, what I generally do is check often to see if it’s released and if it is not, I shut up (not that I was talking in the first place) and deal with it. Sure, I’m a bit anxious, but it’s not that big of a deal. I’m sure a lot of people are in the same mindset. And for others, whining about it not being released, or harassing the subbers, kind of reflects the fact that they either (a) don’t have a life, (b) have a bad time dealing with boredom, or (c) are kind of douches. Atleast in that aspect of their personality.
