Speedsubbing my arse, lol.

Sorry for the undesired delays. I’m still busy with my assignment ( which I don’t think I’m going to finish it in time before the dateline. Oh wait, the dateline was yesterday. Damn. ). Gotta thanks XRayMind for these releases for he took over my job temporarily ^_^

Update

HD version released. =)

It’s out! Here you go:

Toshokan Sensou 07 (1024×576)
Toshokan Sensou 07 (704×396)

*edit*
I just realized that the resolution is actually 1024×576. AH DAMN. Sorry for releasing the wrong resolution. T_T

Might have slight initial seeding problem due to the ridiculously slow internet connection and I really hope the distro team flex their muscles on this. Thanks, distros.

It’s 4.41am here, and I’m going to bed now. Enjoy the show.

ZZZzzz….

Exams are evil. They cause unbelievable stress to us, university students… and delayed the speed delivery of Toshokan Sensou episode to teh community.

Oh well, here it goes. Sorry for the late.

UPDATE. NEW TORRENT FILE.

Toshokan Sensou 06 (1280×720)
Toshokan Sensou 06 (704×396)

Nyaatorrent’s tracker is working again. Torrent for the XviD version added.

PS: Is it just us or Malaysian internet connection today is extremely horrible? ( we know, it’s horrible everyday, just that it’s EXTREMELY horrible today ). I can’t even surf Google properly.
PPS: OOT, who else felt the Sumatran earthquake tremor? I hope the damage is minimal there in Indonesia.

Ah… it’s out! So here you go :

Toshokan Sensou 5 ( 1280×720 )
Toshokan Sensou 5 ( 704×396 )

Parents. Ever Scary Entities.

We applied the saturation change and added chapters. Enjoy ^_^

Before we had the karaoke files, we just fetch the RAW file and mux it with the subtitle file. But, since we have karaoke files now, I had to hardsub the file into the video ( yeah, which mean I had to re-encode the RAW file ). No big deal since I can do this while Ashlynne working on the translations. Since I’m re-encoding the RAW file, might as well I play around with the Avisynth settings.

My friend at ‘The Subbers Has No Name’ (TSHNN), showed me images where they manipulated their color saturation which makes the anime looks considerably nicer than the original. Since they can do it, why not I just do the same thing?

So, I decided to play around with Avisynth filters to change the color saturation a bit. First, I slightly changed the “Levels” and here’s what I got.

Touch Up 1

The image turns out to be slightly more saturated but the overall “dull” color is still there. So, I changed the settings a bit stronger, and this is what I get:

Touch Up 2

It looks more anime-like and the colors are no longer dull. I personally liked it. Just in case, to make sure that it doesn’t look nice on my monitor only, I asked around for opinions. All of the 3 people I asked said the 3rd image looks better.

So, we are thinking of implementing this for future episodes of Toshokan Sensou. So, any opinions?

More samples after the jump.

Original Left, Touched Up Right

Touched Up Top, Original Bottom

Original Top Left, Touched Up Bottom Right

I OVERSLEPT! Oh well, here you go:

Toshokan Sensou 4 (1024×720)
Toshokan Sensou 4 (702×396)

We increased the font size a bit and added karaoke. Played around with encoding settings and until now I’m still not sure whether the setting is good enough. Please comment on it.

Darn, we noticed we typed Kasahara’s name wrongly in one line. Darn. Bad QC! Bad QC!

UPDATE

I received news that some can’t see the subtitles. We found the reason why, and we will not repeat the stupid mistake again. For a quick fix, here’s the subtitle file so you can load it manually:

Toshokan Sensou 4 Sub File

——

Also, this and this are suggested ways which may solve this problem.

We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused >_<.

First of all, I’m really really sorry. Gomen gomen. >_<

I'm quite aware that we have distro problem and it's quite a serious of a problem. I understand that. This is my first time distributing my torrent file, and please pardon me for that. OTL

For now, what I can do is to "physically" distribute the copy to my coursemates and friends to seed the file. Please bear with me for a while for this 3 episodes. T_T

For the coming releases, we will get a better seeder with a better internet connection. We will set up a DCC bot too. We will try to perform better next time. For those who's willing to seed this anime, your help is deeply appreciated.

Currently i'm HTTP uploading the files to my server, and will distribute it to the dedicated seeders. We receive quite a lot of volunteers so I hope that for the next episode, things will go smoother than this.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience caused. T_T

*update*

Currently I found another server with 40GB transfer limit to accompany my 50GB transfer limit server. Should be good for distro-ing works.

PS: I’m so scared that I refuse to use my computer to make sure my PC doesn’t hang or something which would lead to expected reboot O_O

We decided that this anime required more love and we feel dedicated to release our own subbing version.

For episode 1, we used TV Tokyo’s raw and the subtitles are physically distorted. Episode 2, we’ll use Alex-Kpek’s raw and for episode 3, Zero-Raws.

We apologize if the standard of the sub is not up to par with your standards. We’ll try to improve the subbing quality episode by episode. T_T

Here’s the first episode:
Toshokan Sensou 1 (1440×1080)!

Toshokan Sensou 2 (1280×720). Yep. It’s smallER.

Toshokan Sensou 3 (1280×720).

Will release a smaller version.

Stay tuned.

*edit*

And, my internet line at home is quite slow so my upload limit is somewhere around 40kbps, so please do help me seed it, thank you ^_^.

Proof we Malaysians have crappy internet speed

I’ll get more seeders later ( it’s 4.23am here lol ). Now, time to get some sleep. Phew.

My translator decided that she would like to share the sub files with others, so here you go. It’s just a .ass sub file and you still have to download the raw if you wanna watch it. To download, just right click the links. Use Media Player Classic, open the raw video and load the downloaded subtitle file.

Toshokan Sensou EP1 ( tested with [TV-Japan] raw )

Toshokan Sensou EP2 ( for RAW with sponsor ads )

Toshokan Sensou EP2 ( for RAW without sponsor ads like [Alex-Kpek] )

We don’t mind if you wanna remux it into a video file and release it under your fansub group, just as long you keep the credits somewhere in the video. Do notify us if you did this.

By the way, those are translated from chinese subs, so they “might” be some “lost in translation” matters. But heck, it seems fine for me, at least it’s understandable. At least it cured the agony of waiting.
