Continued from THIS post.

…After that, we had another season full of disaster. We had found a few new members… Kusion, __ar, and our new editor Crate. We picked up four shows that season. MM! was the most terrible fansubbing experience for me as I had to stay up for 24+ hours to work on it. mochichi was the one translating MM! and the rest was proceeding as usual. Around episode 7, I kicked out Kusion as he wasn’t taking his work seriously, and __ar as well soon after him because he did something :stupid:. Then Crate suddenly vanished one of those days and we still don’t know where that guy is… (Are you even alive, Crate? Please come and say hi to us if you read this post). And then all that capping drama from Elitistfags happened and we couldn’t speedsub anymore. Anyway, then we had a joint going on with UTW, Moshi was the translator for it and that was the last show he had speedsubbed for us. When that season ended, I decided to take a break from fansubbing because it’s getting too tiring for me at that point (THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE RIGHT THERE!). And we did… Thus, Ryuumaru went into hibernation mode.

It was supposed to be for one season only, but I couldn’t see what I was up for. My RL became even more of a mess than it was already, and right now, I’m still dealing with the aftermath. Things went terribad for me even on the internet. I was standing at the edge and thought that I’d never be able to recover from all the shit I had been through. All of the staff members left. Akuji-sama, mochichi… I kicked out aznskman because of some :stuff: that he did to us. Moshi has long lost his interest in this group after joining some others. So literally, right now, it’s only me and nixx` left in this group Hurf, nixx` quits as well, so it’s just me now. At first, I decided to fuck this shit and do something :creative:… Until last night, that is. I’ve made my decision now… I’m going to revive this group no matter WHAT I have to do. I just need a capper and a translator. I’ll find those no matter what I have to do. Like, there’s no use sulking over the stuff that has happened already, I think it’s about time I man the fuck up and move forward. Many have contributed for this group, many of them stayed up till late night with me; even had to pull all nighters… and I just don’t want all of those :efforts: to go in vain. I’ll keep finding someone that I can trust. No matter how long it’d take, I won’t let this group die like the others. For me personally, fansubbing was a really awesome experience. I was able to meet some really wonderful people because of it, and I want to meet some more people like them before I quit fansubbing… That’s why I think it’s just way too early for me to quit right now. It’s not even been two years completely. So please, forgive me if I’m not able to keep my promise I made in the last few posts that we’ll do something this season. I’m trying my best here to find someone to carry on with, but if I can’t, then all I can do is apologize. But do look forward to Hyakka BD vol. 5 and special with it!

And while we’re at it, I’d like to specially thank mochichi and Akuji-sama for their wonderful contribution in this group. I will miss you guys and I’ll always be waiting for you here. If you can’t come back to fansub again, at least come back to say hi every once in a while, okay? I’m pretty sure I am not the only one who’d be happy to see you guys around. Honestly, thank you, thank you very much, both of you… You two were real buddies, I’ll never forget about you guys, never in my life. And since I can’t get in contact with you guys, I’ll say it here: I’m really sorry for everything that has happened. And good luck with your lives. Along with me, the :new: Ryuumaru will always remember you two, and I hope that you guys will remember us as well (▰˘◡˘▰). I shall pray for your success.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks a LOT to Raze and Zach for being REAL bros and being there for me when I had no one to talk to. I love you both. Thanks a LOT guys. ;____________;

TL;DR

I need someone that’s living in Japan right now and is interested in capping. We’ll provide you with the equipment if you can prove yourself trustworthy.

Hi guys! How many of you faggots are going to spend your valentine’s day alone at your home? Well, I just wanted to tell you the list of valentines I have for today…

1. mochichi (my real valentine)
2. Akuji-sama (my real valentine)
3. Phycoforce
4. Ioryogi
5. goof
6. nixx`
7. My computer’s teacher
8. Monou (RL friend)
9. Naukkis
10. Amanatsu
11. Seonnut
12. Zach

You mad, lonely fags? (*￣▽￣*)

So I’m stalling.
>FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Sorry guys, but I can’t take it anymore. I’m sick and tired of all this drama so I’m going to be quitti—
JAY KAY KIDDOS I AIN’T QUITTING TROLOLOLO—
k so srs bsnes time. Guess why I’m stalling?
>(Read: post pic)
Obviously I’m the guy in the picture who’s too busy looking at the cheerleaders’ crotches to be fagsubbing. No I’m not. See that word in the back? Yeah. That’s right. I got drafted for the NB—NO YOU FAGGOTS I’M AZN I PROBABLY CAN’T EVEN SEE THE BASKETBALL HOOP W/O MY GLASSES CUZ I’M SO SHORT ;_;
So anyway, as most college-dwellers and whatnot already know it’s that time of year when the semester’s coming to a close and teachers suddenly notice all the things that they’ve neglected to do. In other words WALLS OF TL;D—I mean walls of homework. It’s not even finals week yet, that’s next week [sadface]
So things are stalled and I’m hating on life.
>Life: “Haters gonna hate!”
>>me: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
…*facepalm

Well that’s about it guys. Despite all this crap I made in a futile attempt to entertain you, I’m actually quite sorry that I’m causing delays everywhere that I work. Until someone figures out a way to detach one’s consciousness from RL, here I am, stuck with living. Well, with a hurf durf and ┐(￣ー￣)┌ I’ll see you guys once I have free time~

Well, this is getting really tiring now. I’ve been waiting for mm!’s raw from HOURS now but there’s still no shitraws out there. We would have released the episodes HOURS ago, yes, around 8 hours ago if we had the .ts on time.

TL;DR: We need a capper. If you are in Japan or have someone that’s living there and willing to help us out, then join our Recruits channel (#ryuumaru-recruits@irc.rizon.net) or email us at Ryuumaru.Fansubs@gmail.com.

P.S. Do NOT post raw links for MM!. We will know when it’s out.

GET YOUR TL/TLC/OCCASIONAL ROUGH TIMER/ALTERNATE KTIMER/QC/MULTI-USEFUL TO BE A CAPPER, TOO. DUH.
Unless THIS happens. I knew that the resolution on the Japanese TV shows I was watching was horrible, but I never knew that I was watching like 240p stretched out on a 40″ HDTV. Damn. That sucks.
TL;DR: Moar cappers plox. Ryuumaru is now recruiting people living in Japan who have the hardware to get transport streams at something better than 480p! oh and the subscriptions needed to get our shows in the first place lol. tbh just better than 480p won’t cut it too, like (as you shoulda read already if you visit this blag semi-frequently) it should be an actual ts that isn’t shitraw/shareraw quarity.
In other words…HELP!!-Hell Side-
or if you’d prefer to sing to our misery: Koe de oshigoto desu~! (“Wait, those lyrics are for the song, not that!” )
Oh, you seriously want to sing? All right, no reason for me to stop you.

And yes I know commander already made a post on this. See: First Amendment.

~Moshi@Looking for a helpful Yosuga ;_;
P.S. Rageface.jpg is at the computer screenshot, not EF. Since, ya know, I have my ways to get raws if I’m only watching/working. The problem’s just that we won’t have a high quality raw to release with, as I’m hoping that you already know by now.

http://transportstreams.org/index.php/2010/11/some-information/

And I refuse to use shareraws and do a v2 for 4 series every week, that’s like double work for me. So if I don’t get another capping source then I’m quitting fansubbing. I’m dead serious about this. nixx` Moshi or Akuji can takeover for all that I care, but I seriously doubt this will happen. And even if someone takes over, they can’t do shit without me. So once I quit, consider Ryuumaru to be dead. I’m tired of all the drama.

And no, you cannot help me unless you are living in Japan.

EDIT: WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR SHITRAWS:

LISTEN UP D00DS:
Using “other raws” is not the issue here. ElitistFag supplied Transport Streams, which are not pre-encoded raws from share with some dumbshit presets thrown up to tt 2hrs after release, but instead a direct rip of the stream (READ: THE FILE THAT THE TELEVISION STATIONS GET) for encoders to work magically delicious techniques perfected through years of experience on.

“Other raw providers” just aren’t the same.

^this, is what we need. Thanks.

Ok faggots, rather in #ryuumaru@irc.rizon.net (or use this client)

‘Sup guys. Lets sit back and let me tell you the story of Ryuumaru. About how it was founded and how it is right now. This is gonna be a long post so brace yourselves!

Before I start talking about this group’s foundation, I’d like to mention some stuff about myself. I was a fabulous otaku wasting my time watching Animes all day, and doing part-time for living. Slowly, I started uploading Animes on many forums to kill my time since I didn’t have anything better to do. Then somehow, I ended up in Animetake. Animetake was like, really really dying at that time with no uploaders uploading on it. Only me, rag_iit and Tiggerz were posting stuff there. Slowly, Tiggerz disappeared as well and only me and rag_iit kept posting constantly. I remember staying up all night to post stuff, moderate the comments and keep the main clean from stupidity/spammers. Then rag_iit founded Kanketsu-hen and started subbing Inuyasha 2 with some TL who’s running his own shitty group right now. After some time, I asked rag_iit to let me join him as well. He agreed and I started encoding for them. warpsharp().upscale().warpsharp().upscale().warpsharp().warpsharp().upscale() is what I used to do at that time (to dumb it down, I sucked, I still do). But nonetheless, we continued.

A new season started after a while and I kinda felt like we should do a dumb show named “Ladies vs Bastards”. I talked to rag_iit but he didn’t care about it. I talked to a friend of mine and he agreed on doing that show. That’s when we founded Ryuumaru. Somehow a Inuyasha TL from Kanketsu-hen translated that pre-air of Ladies vs Bastards. But he bailed after that and my friend didn’t do anything either. Desperate enough, I went on a TL finding hunt. That’s when I found aznskman. That guy translated 3 shows a week and all of them within 2 hours. Because of him, we became a speedsubbing group. After a while, rag_iit ragequit fagsubbing because of his RL problems, so I ended up learning timing. After a few days, the typesetter (Hiyono may) ragequitted because I had her actually do work on something. So, I slowly learned typesetting as well.

So basically, Ryuumaru had only 3 members at that time (excluding Duratrix as he was useless from the start, also k1llz0r-chan as he was the distro). A translator, and editor, and me. I did ALL the work except for tl and editing. I have sacrificed sleep to fansub, withstood all the hardships. Have bared people bitching about how the crappy subs were even though I spent entire night working on them. BUT, the only reason I didn’t stop working was A SINGLE THANKS THAT SOMEONE WOULD DO AFTER RELEASING AN EPISODE! Yes, as much as it sounds lame, I decided to keep doing it as long as a SINGLE person appreciates our work. Shit continued, first season ended somehow. And to be honest, we did a REALLY terrible job since we were newbies (That’s why I am doing Omamori DVDs and correcting all the noob mistakes).

Second season started, and Cyc got sick and hospitalized which left only me and aznskman in the group. So I even started doing editing. That made this group a 2 man team (Although I suck at editing lolol). After a few weeks, I had to go somewhere but I still had QC to do. So I asked in #ryuumaru if someone’s interested in QCing for me. nixx` poped up and agreed in his tsundere style saying “Well, since I have nothing BETTER to do, I guess I’ll QC some shit ┐(￣ー￣)┌”, And I was like “oooooooook here’s the raw and script.” Well, he qc’ed, given me his QC report. It was good, he didn’t point out useless shit like any other newbie which I liked pretty much. I told him in my usual manner “Sup, you are now QCing for me. No objection. Kthx.” That’s how nixx` ended up in the group. I must say, nixx has done a terrific job ever since he has joined the group.

Anyway, half way through the second season, aznskman went to Korea at his home and never came back. That’s from where the downfall of Ryuumaru started (downfall in terms of speedsubbing). But somehow thanks to Moshiburner the bro, we finished the shows we had started. I cannot thank him enough for doing a fabulous job handling 4 series all alone. After a while, we thought that we should get more QCs. Posted a recruitment post on the blog and Akuji-sama appeared within 10mins. We tested him, and he turned out to be fabulous and we recruited him. And once again, this business continued with 4 members only. We hanged out doing 4 shows a week, pretty well. And I am totally satisfied with the work we did this previous season.

Season 2 ended, and summer started. We decided on doing Seitokai Yakuindomo. But the episode aired 1 day before it was scheduled on another channel and all of our plans got messed up. I begged around for TLs but no one agreed on doing it. Watching me desperately begging around, Moshi said “Shouganai na, omae wa.” and agreed on translating it. He was in a car on his way back to home, and he fabulously translated the entire episode/OP/ED within 3 hours. Thanks to him, I was able to release it 12 hours after the episode was aired. The next day, Sekirei aired and aznskman poped up out of no where saying that he’ll translate it. I was happy since I wanted to do it as well. Well, we did the first episode. But… aznskman never appeared after that. According to him, he got busy with RL stuff but I stopped paying attention to him as they all sounded like excuses to me. Anyway, around that time, I was hit by a shit-storm of RL shit and I had to leave the city for a month. So I couldn’t fansub for a month.

When I came back, I found a bunch of work in front of me. Most of all, Moshiburner got busy with RL stuff and we didn’t have any more translators. So the group basically died for like, 2 months. But thanks to Mr|Bushido, we were able to find mochichi. And thanks to her :efforts: we were able to catch up on all the stuff and she is pretty much keeping this group alive as well (I love you, mochichi ;___;).

So that’s the story of Ryuumaru from the time it was founded ’till now. We had a lot of fabulous members. Some of them were really good. Some of them were bad but we somehow managed to survive ’till now and I WILL NOT LET THIS GROUP DIE NO MATTER WHAT.

Also, our status on DVD/Bluray releases is always TOO slow. That’s because I’m the one who has to do all the work on them. But now that I am free of RL shit, I will start doing the Bluray/DVD business fabulously. EXPECT OMAMORI SOON!

So why did I post all this wall of text? I don’t know lol.

Hi guies. We are doing donations because I need this harddisk and this mouse.

Because I’m tired of deleting my precious data to store .ts’es that I have encoded and other group-related stuff, just have 7GB left in my hard drive . Also my mouse is fucked up and I don’t have anything decent to time with which makes timing REALLY slow.

You can donate through PayPal on ┐(￣ー￣)┌ .

Edit: Thanks a LOT to everyone who donated. I have raised enough to buy a HDD… But I guess I’ll rent a server with it since I have nothing to encode on ATM and the server Azusastoy lent may die anytime. And slower encodes effects the speed of releases…
