I know this is late.  I’ve been busy with school work and real life a lot lately so had no time blogging.  It was also hard to conjure up my feelings.  Therefore, I decided to do something a bit different

Late updates here.

For Index, I reverted to XVID since it’s taking up too much space and it’s not worth it for a series moving too slowly at the moment

Moving on,

I usually don’t like commenting much on fansub groups but this one really can’t be helped.  Usually you hear people irritated about fansub groups and constantly complain on how some groups are slow while being the best group for a project.  That isn’t anything near what this is about today.  In fact, today, I want to recognize a group for being awesome.  In other words, aside from saving me time in waiting for another group to do this task, they just made my day by not only announcing what they’re doing but also producing a product.  This group is…

Internet connection in terms of direct downloading sucks while I’m at home so no links while I’m here throughout the rest of the year and most of January.  The upload speed drops from 128 kb/s to about 9 kb/s  so you can all do the math to see how long that will take to upload just one normal episode.

I’ll upload the stuff once I return to school for second semester in January.  Hopefully I’ll have megaupload again via LAN.  If not, I will switch over to another uploading network since using megaupload via wifi when the connection is weak makes the upload time as slow as when I’m home.  I’ll reveal the site if it does come down to it in January.

So for those who actually use the download mirrors I put up, you may have noticed the lack of mirrors lately.  That’s because of 2 reasons.  The first is because it’s finals week for me so I’m not online/active as often, and don’t have the time to be uploading everything.  The second is because my school may have blocked Megaupload.  Whether  that’s confirmed or not will have to wait since I’ve been getting timeout errors just trying to access the site the past couple days.  It may just be a DNS error on one side though.  Nevertheless, download mirrors will return when problem is fixed.  In the case I am permanently blocked, I may switch to a different host, but that’s difficult to say at the moment simply because other sites are just not beneficial to both the uploader and the downloader (slow speed + waiting time).  I will make an announcement if mirrors are to return when I’m in school.  When I’m at home (which will be most of January), I may occasionally upload, but don’t count on it due to slow speed and simply because I want to relax from school.

And I know this is way late on the blog even though I uploaded it in the forums already, but here’s Macross Frontier OST 3: Nyan Tama.

Macross Frontier OST 3 Vocal Collection: Nyan Tama
Download Link Here

And for those who don’t know, the movie was announced to premier in theaters next summer.  No further details are available at this time.

A small update information regarding the download link mirrors on the main site:

For older series I will continue to upload whatever I have archived so the files could be either xvid or h264 (avi or mkv).  If you want a special request of xvid or h264, either send a pm to me or request in the anime request thread and me or someone else will help you get the file you need.  Most of the time though these series will be in xvid since my older computer was unable to handle h264 codecs.  This shouldn’t be affecting most people though.

As for the newer series that have both mkv and avi options, and with a relatively new computer, I will be uploading h264 AND xvid, HDTV and DTV for series that I deem worthy.  These series include the following series that are NOT licensed of MFI works:

Clannad ~After Story~   (This will be normal xvid links and widescreen h264 episodes will be added as they are released)

ef ~A Tale of Melodies~

Tales of the Abyss (decided it’s not worth watching in HD, XVID is just fine)

To Aru Majutsu no Index

All other files will only be xvid links.

The other exception to this group is Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ which will all be replaced with HDTV (1280 x 720) links for reason being that this series for its animation it deserves upscaled quality.   I apologize for any inconvenience.  Again, if you are looking for a specifc version, feel free to send me a pm or make a request in the Anime Request Thread on the forums.

As part of changes I was making to the blog as well as mentioned, I thought I’d also help out the site a little bit.

So if anyone hasn’t noticed yet, I’m now providing megaupload download mirrors for some of the series on the main site: http://www.fansub.tv for all kinds of series. New released ones will take priority of course.

The process is slow and tedious for me, but hopefully one day I’ll get most if not all the stuff with download mirrors so that even when the files expire you’ll have a link available. Saves time from asking in the request thread too

The other thing to note is that I am no longer adding who uploaded it (ie. my username) since I prefer anonymity on the megaupload site. In addition, this may result in MORE people stealing my links like they did in the past and not crediting me. Therefore, I will make this note that IF I see a link stolen without proper credit (and I have the megaupload codes sent to me so I know the link code), I will stop providing links. For those who enjoy doing this and taking all the pride, joy, and glory, think about how people feel or how you would feel if I or anyone else stole something that you spent so much time on.

2 REMINDERS:

• I WAIT for quality/decent groups so sometimes uploads will be slower and this will ONLY apply to shows I’m following at the moment, which is a decent amount. Hopefully I will get a tier list up soon (I still support all fansubbers for their work though regardless of good or bad) as well as the groups I am following for each individual series this season. Maybe by the end of this weekend.
• DO NOT PRESSURE/PM/NAG/*insert other options here* ME FOR LINKS! There is the request thread still if you need it. It’s there for a reason too! If I start hearing people say that I’m too slow or any other negative criticism, I will stop this whole thing. I have a life and it’s not always easygoing especially during these times when I have lots of work.
  

Anyways, have fun with these links!!!! And REPORT ANY BROKEN LINKS!

Comments and other Constructive Criticism appreciated :3

So after much consideration as well as much of my absence, I finally decided on the series that deserve these awards. This time the system is a bit different. There will be a total of 6 categories (Story/Plot, Art and Animation, Music, Character, Enjoyment, and Overall), the first four each with one winner. The last two will have 3 places (3rd, 2nd, and 1st). The Overall standards does not take the one with the most awards/highest ranks in each category but rather the series as a whole. So a series that didn’t place at all in the top 3 of any other category can still achieve this place. Overall, in this case usually refers to the consistency of the anime in ALL aspects. Without further ado, here are the awards for all shows that have ended by the beginning of the Fall 2008 season.

So about this thing called “absence,” it’s more like work has been piling and I haven’t been doing too well lately and really have been trying to focus on school work so that’s the reason for a lack of updates from me. However, that doesn’t mean I will be abandoning this blog. In fact, it’s the exact opposite….once I get everything back on track, expect a huge makeover for this blog hopefully with the following changes:
