Wow, I hadn't seen that Zafira was Zafila on the official site. I can certainly accept using Zafira, since it is indeed the spelling used for the car. I can also certainly see how it would be silly to use "Lost Property Riot Force 6". And I see how Teana -> Tea would not work, although at the same time you could have done Teana -> Tia, since there are plenty of nicknames people have that don't follow the spelling of their names. Though I do see possible confusion from that too. Although as for why it's Lanstar instead of Lanster, I still have no idea.

I am also somewhat curious about what the arguments were for not using Caro, although I suppose the translator being vehemently against it would be good enough reason not to. I'd still like to see the reasoning behind it however. As for Elio, I mean really, the difference is that one is a bit more true to the car name, while the other one isn't, but I guess if we really wanted to be true to the name, he'd be Aerio, which really just doesn't work at all.

I'm not really asking for changes or anything, as I respect the naming decisions, especially knowing now that they were decisions to purposefully deviate from the official names. I'd just like to know more about why. And though there was somewhat of an explanation, I'm obviously still unclear on a few things.

If you think about it, the Japanese pronunciation is not very accurate, such as "tsu" can be just as well pronunciated as "su" with just a bit more accent.

Case closed now?

I don't want to look at a thread which debates on which spelling is correct - we already had enough of that with the Singapore anime debate.

What can I help with?? Can you please be more specific?

Wow - I didn't realize you'd come so quick!

Since you did that restyling for MSLN/A's, maybe you can help him out by creating a subtitle file...

I'm not forcing you to do it, though.

It's your choice, and I thought that idea might help him ask you.

ChanLokHang, you sure are fast =+=

>>10

Tsk, tsk, tsk... hahaha do not underestimate me. I check this site about 10 times a day, perhaps more.

Something about the names for the characters in StrikerS. I'd rather stick with Nanoha-DGz's official released names. You can just download the subs I restyled from here and edit them. Ah do besure to give credit... the folks at Nanoha-DGz did like 99.9% of the work on these subs... I only restyled them. So editing them and releasing them without giving credit for those who did most of the work is a big no no.

We're using the official Japanese names from Nanoha.com unless otherwise stated by me on the release or unless common sense tells us otherwise. For Kyaro, the official Japanese name is キャロ・ル・ルシエ　which translates to Kyaro Ru Rushie. Also, her name is pronounced Kyaro too, not Caro. It's not that noticeable but you can hear it if you pay attention or have uber awsome speakers/sound card (like me XP). Also, Kyaro is infinatly more cuter than Caro, and Kiety said he'd quit if we don't use Kyaro too.

>>5
Given her name and eye colors, I assume Vivio is the daughter of Fate and Subaru?

>>14
Oh Good God...

>>14
Oh gods...

And, umm... how do we fix that problem?

And anyways, I doubt that most people would look at each frame to just get a shot of something cough inappropriate cough, such as a pantyshot or some sort... unless you're a real hard-core fan of it, that is.

stands up and apologizes to every single soft/hard-core fans of anime everywhere

>>7

You don't?

It's an error with the company that created this anime.

>>7

> how do we fix that problem?

Wait for the DVD release?

>>8

Thinking about it, I actually do freeze each frame. nihaha

>>9

And, how long would the DVD release take?

Hopefully everything would be settled by the year 2012, when invisible/camouflaging cloths should be mass-produced in Japan, including micro-computers embedded.

drools at a thought of watching anime everywhere

>>10
Have a look at the thread "Nanoha StrikerS DVD Release Schedule" on this board.

>>12
Good lord, I had to use to Search to find that thread out ;;

But seriously, I'm hoping that it's not gonna get licensed by American companies. I'm gonna cry if they do *_*;;

>>13
I'd be disappointed if all groups stopped subbing StrikerS, by OTOH, I'm already getting used to watch episodes raw...

>>13 I'm not sure if i got the right company, but Geneon wants the license fro the nanoha series. Last I heard they were trying to grab series 1 and 2. Not sure if they've been successful though.

>>15

The registered the domain nanohaondvd.com when they did the higurashi contest back in January

>>2 yep

Oh yea, wasn't there an official artwork of Hayate touching Signum and Shamal's boobs?

It seems that I've lost the image...

Someone mind sharing it?

Tadaaa

Oh btw, i don't think its official. Someone made another version of this but I forgot where. -_-

is it ok if i post more?

i guess its ok.

I hope this fits the category

Found the v2

A lot of people don't realize that translating something from one language to another isn't a job that can be done in one day; granted if you go full on and not rest then yea, but if you do that you'll make yourself very sick.

I had a crash course in reality back in high school when I was apart of a french fansub group; translating anime into french.. we were backlogged due to our group leader being very ill so myself and one other worked two days straight... in the end the episode for that anime wasn't released until four weeks later because the two of us (the only TWO translators) became very ill.

So please people; you need to have patiance. Real Life does take priority over whatever your hobby might be, while I do wish I could ask JJS if he needs another, my current job prevents me from doing what I love to do - translating anime, whether it be animated, manga, what have you.

We all need to realize that DGz are only human; they are not robots, they are flesh and blood like everyone else. They need to eat, they need to sleep, we can't expect them to slave at that computer for 168 hours a week.

So have patience folks; I know it's tough and that some of you don't have that, but perhaps it's about high time you learned some, because real life is a waiting game, you thought school was a bore? Sheesh.. wait until you graduate and get out into the real world, you'll be WISHING you were back in high school..

Anyway, carry on ;)

-Kalitan

>>12
High school fansub groups?
Man, I'd love to join some groups when I get into high school -_-

And adding onto what Kalitan said, translation is hard work.
Just one wrong mistake can ruin an entire episode (for me right now, it's just Korean doujins).

Oh yea, and don't be a leecher and just use [Nanoha-DGz] as your personal (and technically) a toy box. By seeding the torrents, you are contributing to [Nanoha-DGz].

>A lot of people don't realize that translating something from one language to another isn't a job that can be done in one day;

Please, you're making me lol too much, it's not as if silly animu uses alot of complex expressions or grammar in their conversation. If you're proficient enough (and good lord you MUST be, before even thinking of trying to translate shit up), it's not that hard to make a dialogue script in a jiffy.

This anon is the anon in /a/ who provided the Manabi ep.11 scripts sometime back then, when a.f.k stalled their subs forever. It took me like whut, 1 hour to make the script?

>>14

yah yah as if anyone will believe the shit your talkin without proof. Go and die already jerk.

>>14
Go die already.

Think encoding takes time in a jiffy?
Ever thought of something called 'edits' and 'karaoke' before, too?

Oh yea, and don't forget quality. We don't want /shit/ translations that has half the parts *moonspeak.

>This anon is the anon in /a/ who provided the Manabi ep.11 scripts sometime back then, when a.f.k stalled their subs forever. It took me like whut, 1 hour to make the script?

It takes me 30 minutes to just understand anime. Unlike you, though, we work on quality and good translation.

Hopefully the *troll will behave and download [Nanoha-DGz] file by waiting patiently or either GTFO.

K let's try and keep the shit-flinging to a minimum.

My point is that even though it only takes an hour or so to translate an episode, it still comes down to finding that hour of complete free time to do something you might enjoy, but is still tedious work. See also: timing.

Gits: SAC parody

Can I volunteer to do something? I like the series so much and I know some bits in Japanese, but...

Ah well, maybe I'll just be a bother, sorry. I withdraw that request.

>>19
Heck, I wish I could help this group but since Nanoha's been licensed already by the Korean anime channel Qwiny, I can't do much here ;(
But heck, we all contribute by helping out in the boards, right?

... eh, why's this dead thread up again, anyways?

>>18
hahaha, kind of cool, but its missing like.. half the cast hahaha.

>>10

I can see how that can get confusing. ^_^;;

I really liked Slayers because Lina isn't your typical I-am-a-saint-and-can-do-no-wrong protagonist. She can be a real b*tch when she wants/needs to and I think that's admirable. haha. ;)

YURI..

StrikerS episode 11: Dragon Slave!

>>15

Except when her sister is involved :p

Then she turns into a ten year old trying to find a place to hide, like a certain episode where she makes a paramid to hide in when her sisters ORDERS her to under-take a mission in a letter ;)

lol. I remember that one clearly. Too bad Luna never really appeared except that one vague time. She would've been awesome. Maybe too awesome. :O

Sigh. I wish there was another anime with the same in-your-face type female protagonist.

>> 20

Maybe if you mix Rubette and Goduko (from Gokudo-kun Manyuki)?

I would settle for that. XD
But really, I wouldn't mind watching a similar character. If only... :?

Now I remembered something similar in Magical Project S (with previous Nanoha seasons):

Nanoha = Sasami
Yuuno = Ryo-Okhi
Fate = Misao

At first enemies later friends, and also some "technology" in magical wand...
Except that this is a complete parody to magical girls. Indeed.

When I first watched the first few episodes of season 1, I couldn't help thinking about Card Captor Sakura. Even now I'm sure Nanoha's creators had watched CCS:
http://20gp.ovh.net/~example/CardCaptorNanoha.zip

Meh, I seriously wanna help you guys out... but all I can read is Korean and a few kanjis...
But I won't be downloading and archiving them since I'm pretty sure you guys'll put up a DVD version of it, which is must-be-archived the ones ;)

And here we have a fine specimen of XviD encoded ep7 for those waiting. Less than 6 hours after the h264 edition too, WTF is going on around here?

This one time at band camp... JJS made another shitty release comment on tosho

::insert fleeing here::

(USER WAS SHOT OUT OF A CANNON FOR THIS POST)

Thanks guys. has neither the patience or disk space to download raws and decipher moonspeak.

"has neither the patience or disk space to download raws and decipher moonspeak."

Awww.. but moonspeak is better than asking Raising Heart to translate for you.

lol. good stuff. thanks everyone! :)

Yeah, planning to fix the disk space problem with a new 250GB external hard drive.

>>19
Buy 1TB. I heard it's on sale for about $300-$400 ;)

just buy 2 500gig hard drives same 1TB for like a fourth of the price as a single TB drive

Yeah, once I get a job. ^^;;
