Attention: Edit: This is Fanofde4ever.  I’ll be taking over updating this for the time being at least.  That is assuming I remember.

All “WHERE IS SHOW X” comments must be posted here. They will now be deleted on sight in other posts with no warning regardless of what show the post belongs to.

Comments in this thread will be deleted periodically to reduce clutter.

TS and Encode generally run parallel to this process

So by now, all good lolis should have nice pretty toys under their trees wrapped in all sorts of sparkly paper. And then they’ll eat cookies, sing carols, and watch a Yule Log on TV. Yes, it’s that time again. So all mall santas should say Ho Ho Ho (Outlawed in Australia because it’s offensive to women) and enjoy the most fattening time of the year!

We always try to get a release out around now, and we seriously tried for Haganai and Mashiro Iro, but alas, it was not meant to be. So we released some K-On! for you yesterday. Enjoy~

Every year, we celebrate a day of thanks. How do we do it? By viciously committing a genocide against those with waddles, ignorantly hacking them to pieces while ignoring their cries of “Help me! Spare me!” (which are said in the form of gobble gobble).

Make a stand. Stop the genocide. Have a Thanksgiving Lasagna.

Do note that we are going to be expecting every nuance/sfx typeset. AFX is acceptable. Please apply on IRC @ #Chihiro-recruits@irc.rizon.net

Do note – it’s no guarantee that we’ll do it but we’d like to.

We are immediately making a few changes.

Dog Days Dropped

OVA
No change

BD Sets
RV2 Dropped

There may be a few more changes in the future. However, K-On!! will either make progress by 11/15, or be reassigned.

Experience is preferred but not necessary, although you will need to pass a test (comprised of translating an episode that we give you) to prove that you are competent enough in both languages to be able to perform this job. If hired, you will be expected to translate at least one episode per week. This typically takes 3 to 4 hours–sometimes more, for difficult series or for inexperienced translators. You should be sure you will have this much free time per week before you apply.

To apply, join #Chihiro-recruits on rizon.
