Future Eps


So, I guess we'll go good news first. Life has sort of worked itself out for me and I should be able to get back to TLCing things again, so yes we will be releasing the as of yet unreleased eps. Also good news, I would like to do something this season as well(but not a 2 cour) and klaxa seems to be game.

Bad news: forks is MIA for the foreseeable future. We're hoping he comes back eventually, but don't count on it. Unfortunately this means we are now without an editor, which means we can't really release anything until we get someone to do the editing. Also bad news, if we do get an editor, whatever we would start this season would take precedence over Monogatari. We'd likely shoot to have it all done by the midpoint of the season at the latest, but life happens so you can never be sure.

So that's y'alls Christmas present. Now find us a damn editor for ours.

Monogatari Series S2 17v2


I've made a huge mistake.

In well held up tradition I fucked up once again. The only changes I applied to the script were the typesetting bits and I completely forgot to merge the edited script. Totally my fault again I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to do all that during the night. Fuck I'm so sorry albel and forks, I don't know what to say.

DaBear Note: Note how I don't get an apology despite QCing this. I see how it is klaxa, I see how it is.

Monogatari Series S2 17

We still live apparently.

Holy fuckballs it has been how long since a release? Over a fucking month. God damn university is fucking killing me. Well sorry for the delays, I guess? This Episode had a fuckton of editing and TLC (DaBear didn't do jack shit so far though) and *some* typesetting. I skipped like three scenes though because otherwise I would be either dead or the episode might have never seen the internet. I will see what I can do for the batch, for now please bear with it. As far as I remember episode 18 is a lot of storytelling and should be out in less than a month™.

DaBear section: Shit, you knew I had lost interest. Took me 3 days to work up the motivation to fucking QC. I blame klaxa. As always.

Monogatari releases to be delayed

I never asked for this.

Hello, if you were following our blog, you should have noticed releases have been a lot slower recently. There are several reasons for this. The biggest ones being real life and loss of interest.
It's been a short ride (about 4 or 5 months) and I don't know where we are heading right now exactly. Klownzie probably found the right words to describe the journey until now:

<Klownzie> the problem is that you guys picked the show for all the wrong reasons
...
<Klownzie> overall its surpring it went that well for that long

as well as DaBear's comment on it:

<DaBear> the biggest probelem was starting with a 2cour show
...
<DaBear> its hard to make a 6 month commitment to being able to work on something

and mine, too:

<klaxa> maybe with taking on monogatari we bit off more than we could chew

It surely has been fun so far, but it really gets harder every damn week. To put into perspective why things are falling apart on my end:
When we started subbing Monogatari back in June, it was just forks and me. I got him on board, because I knew him and he is a native English speaker and therefore could help me out with all the complicated grammar stuff. The only reason was to provide a proper alternative to Commie (I hope they don't feel offended by this). Soon thereafter DaBear joined and did TLC and stuff went on in a good direction. Lectures still hadn't started and I could just power through the weekends and pull all-nighters as much as I wanted. And that's probably what I'm lacking now: time. My studies are demanding large parts of my available time and I am not able to schedule it the way I would like to.
-klaxa

DaBear section:
The biggest thing for me has been lack of interest. To me, this season has been rather dull. I loved Bakemonogatari, Nise was fun(plus dat Karen), Neko was meh, and I had hopes for this one. At first I actually looked forward to working on this(note: this is how you're supposed to feel about working on a show), but gradually it just got dull and became a chore to do. Albel is working on it now in my stead, but its going at a much slower pace, so don't expect things in any sort of time frame. In the mean time, go buy a 3DS and join the Pokemanz masterrace.

Not enough hands for this cat. -forks
Back to klaxa:
However, this does not mean we drop this show. By all means we (read: I) want to continue releasing. With one TLC losing interest and me suddenly having a real life, it's going to take significantly longer, though. Reading the comments and our IRC, there seems to be a demand by at least, like, three people(DaBear note: that means like one shitposter, but same thing <3). That's enough for me to think it's worth doing it. We also plan on polishing up the scripts for the batch and adding the recaps. There are no plans for BD releases as of now.

Monogatari Series S2 15

Easily one of the best shows this season.

Yay I get to write a release post! DaBear hasn't sniped me this week, so I get the honor to leave a few words. This week's episode is pretty damn late and there are several reasons for it which I cannot possibly list all. Two of them definitely are HS releasing late as fuck and the fuckton of great editing and TLC forks and the Siberian Ice Queen did respectively. Another one is lectures starting for me and a lot of other shit going on. We will most likely not be able to keep up the pace we had at the beginning because of both of these things, however the quality of the script should be heavily improved by this.

DaBear Edit: I knew I should have made the post earlier, damn klaxa being productive. Anywho, here's a quick Q&A to help answer a couple questions.

Q: Where's Ep 17?
A: On its way. Should be out Saturday, but since we're not used to working on shit in this timeframe, don't count that as set in stone. Either way, it should be out by the end of the weekend at the absolute latest.

Q: Will Ep 18 be on time(aka the 12-14 time frame)?
A: Hopefully™. Depends on HS schedule and how bad the script is this week(note: daisuki has gotten progressively worse). Theoretically, if all things go as I would expect them(delays from HS, moderately annoying script, some minor shenanigans here and there) Monday should be the release date. That said, as a Meteorology major, you know how reliable us weather peoples' predictions are.

Q: Should I buy a 3DS and Pokemon X/Y?
A: Yes, yes you should. Go do it. Now. I may or may not own both and be on my second playthrough(this time in english). I intended to play through my second time as the boy character, but holy shit does the girl make me HNNNNGGGGG with that fist pump after winning battles. 10/10 would adopt.

Edit....again:
Q: Are you completely wrong on those first two?
A: It would seem so:
<klaxa> yes, episode 18 on monday?
<klaxa> ( ゚∀゚)アハハ八八ノヽノヽノヽノ \ / \/ \
<klaxa> episode 17 by the end of this weekend?
<klaxa> WA HA HA ξ・∀・ξ MAH DRILLS

Whats going on with Ep 15


>Implying you won't play as the girl just for the based ZR

Blame HS and their lack of doing shit on time. Something tells me they'll release 15 and 16 simultaneously, which means we'll do something similar. If they release 16 but no 15 by say....Monday, I'll go ahead and start a full damn TL of 15 and make our Siberian Ice Queen super TLC it. Other than that, sorry about the wait, but there ain't much we can do.

Edit:
<DaBear> so uh
<DaBear> HS ever release?
<forks> DaBear:
<forks> 01:50:53 Klownzie | all right guys
<forks> 01:50:58 Klownzie | i talk to the people at horriblesubs
<forks> 01:51:02 Klownzie | talked
<forks> 01:51:26 Klownzie | "... he has midterms this monday so both episodes should be released on mon-wed"
<DaBear> ah
<DaBear> kk
<Klownzie> they have to rip monogatari manually
<Klownzie> and do everything themselves
<Klownzie> so expect delays every week

So thats that. Also, add me on pokemanz if you have it faggots. 3625-9128-9539

Monogatari Series S2 14



Yozakura Quartet a fun and Ao and adorable. This may or may not be an attempt at getting interest in people doing the other parts(read non TLC parts) so we can do this, because I'm gonna lose it if I have to see "youkai" translated as anything other than "spirit", or even translated at all.


Anywho, the Siberian Ice Queen did the overwhelming majority of the TLC this week(read:basically all) so I got a week off. <3 SIQ, even if we did almost give him an anyeurysm.

And for those not on IRC:
<klaxa> >DaBear says it's 1 am
<klaxa> >DaBear in weird timezone
<klaxa> >Germany Masterrace reporting in
<DaBear> >germans
<DaBear> >masterrace
<DaBear> you remember what happened the last time y'all claimed to be masterrace?
<DaBear> you tried to kill all jews
<klaxa> we almost made it
<klaxa> no no no
<klaxa> we tried to make jews legendary
<klaxa> because if there are only a few jews, those few are legendary
<DaBear> ...
<klaxa> we wanted to make jews super special and rare

--
<klaxa> oh shi- i forgot :x i might delay things *again* next week D:
<klaxa> sunday i'm not home, my grandmother's birthday
<klaxa> i can take my computer with me though
<klaxa> monday, o-phase at KIT, i'll be either unavailable or drunk
<klaxa> i hope shaft isn't too hard on the typesetting so i can do it somewhat... timely

About Ep 14



<klaxa> ah, btw, i'll delay things because >exams
<klaxa> unless HS releases on like... monday afternoon my time

So there you have it. Blame the Germans and their dumb exam schedules this week. Now off to watch some of the new shit. Kyousogiga for AOTYAY.

Monogatari Series S2 13



DaBear Note: No, I do not watch that fujoshit Free.

Delays this week brought to you by HS sucking ballsacks. Anywho, here's you shitty snake part 2. Enjoy. The only redeeming things about this ep were Kuchinawa going full tsukkomi and Shinobu's appearance.

Oh, and in other news, we'll be doing the BDs(when we find them) of Lolidragons aka Zettai Bouei Leviathan and the 8man OVA. Speaking of which, if you haven't already, download this, change to the secondary subtitle and audio tracks, and proceed to cry laughing.

Monogatari Series S2 12


Daily reminder that Suzu is best SYD.

Anywho, Snake arc starts with this ep. All you HanaKana fans already have massive boners, I know. This would have been released earlier(aka I would have worked on it the night of the HS release), except I didn't get off work until 1:30am, as opposed to my usual 10pm. Hooray festivals in the town I work in. Needless to say, then woke up late as fuck Sunday morning, and didn't get to work on things till I got home from work. Also, klaxa was doing real life shit too(read: being a lazy fuck).

Oh, and no QC this week since our QCs have gone entirely MIA. Blame Klownfaggot or Fables-kun if you spot errors. Actually, better yet, just blame klaxa, he loves being responsible for everything~

Delays this week sponsored by:
>friends
Elections in Germany
Sleep deprivation
Miscommunication
A fuckton of editing, you better appreciate the fuck out of this release. (<3 you forks and albel727)

Monogatari Series S2 Ep 11


Best Kiniro.

Anywho, this week is a recap of Bakemonogatari. Yes, it'll get done eventually, but not until the batch. Hooray for another week off for us. I can actually catch up on my backlog for a bit tonight!

Monogatari Series S2 10



Best Kaminomi, your opinion is shit.

Here's your damn ending to the Snail arc(I forget the damn name of this book). Enjoy. I'm awaiting more Karen.

Also, so who else now has plans to go to Tokyo in 2020 for the Olympics? I've decided I'm going just for shits and giggles. Also, to be that one Murrkin who actually bothered to learn any moon before going to the country and thus making all the nips like me. Plus, its one of the two Olympics guaranteed to have golf in it. I will so be heckling Ian Poulter if he makes the British team.

Edit: Holy shit, so I thought cutting off the Madoka PV at the end wouldn't change anything. Turns out Homura is fucking with time again and so every line showed up 2 frames early. Sorry for that, entirely my fault.

Monogatari Series S2 09



So we actually would have had this out more or less on time, if not for HS releasing like 5 minutes(read: 2 hours) after klaxa decided to say fuck it and go to bed, which meant no script for me and Spoons-kun to get started on, which meant not getting our shit done till the morning. Which wouldn't have been a problem except klaxa is a colossal faggot(<3) and woke up all sorts of late and didn't get me the script in time to do my work before actual work. Also, Klownfaggot is actually doing a good job and practically secondary editing, so QC took longer than expected.

In other news: I hope you're all enjoying the fuck out of MJP like I am. I was not prepared for the emotions I was forced to feel in ep 20.

Heh whoopsies, looks like I passed out and didn't notice. Sorries~

Regarding Eps 09+


 Chris an adorable

Starting from Ep 09, we'll likely be releasing a bit later than we had been. On the timetable of the Ep 02 release. Why? Because some of us have a life(read: work) and since football season is now upon us in glorious MURRKUH, I'll likely be staying late at work and/or the shop won't be empty enough for me to get a start on shit at work.

Oh, and we have a new QC(Node: Now two QCs strong!), a friend from prior groups, and a shitty circus freak, Klownzie. I would let him say something here, but he has decided sleep is more important and is a giant faggot. <3 Welcome him, be nice to him, and proceed to blame him for any fuckups.

<klaxa> so this also means i can actually sleep during the night between saturday and sunday?

Then again we could be late because
>HS in charge of releasing on time

Monogatari Series S2 08



Dat doujin. Side tail, stockings Shinobu is tied with glasses Shinobu for best Shinobu.

Anywho, HS finally released, so now we get to finally release. Woo!

About Ep 08



Yes, we're doing it. No, HS still hasn't released. Worst case scenario, I'll have to do a full TL and cry myself to sleep. It'll get done before the next ep one way or another, but I will procrastinate a full TL in hopes of a script showing up until the last goddamn minute. Now calm down and enjoy the delicious Koneko.

Saturday, August 17, 2013

Monogatari Series S2 07



So here's ep 7. HS released ep 6 yesterday, so I'll probably get my part done Sunday or Monday, and after that you can blame klaxa and spoons-kun.

I swear this Daisuki script is pretty decent most of the time, but they manage to completely botch 2-3 lines each script, whether from wording or a godawful TL.

Follow up from last weeks in the staff chan:

<albel727> lol, forks you son of a bitch
<forks> lolo
<forks> now, don't get at me with that ice queen bit of yours honey
<forks> i know that deep inside, you love me
<albel727> w
<albel727> ok ok, you got me

Node, promoting love between Siberian Ice Queens and Murrkins since 2013.

Oh, and go download Barcode Kanojo for your phone and scan shit. Be warned, US products give you brown girls about 95% of the time.

And just for shits and giggles, my reaction to Oreimo ending as I watched

Monogatari Series S2 06

>implying you wouldn't
also,
>tfw the lead singer of WHITE ASH(who does the OP for Gatchaman) looks identical to RuiRui

Anywho, so uh, about this weeks episode Seems it's a recap. And by recap I mean literally a shortened version of Nekomonogatari Kuro. So we're assuming you saw that, if you didn't, go watch it. We're going to go ahead and take the night off since it's a complete waste to do it, also we still have no script, so we're not staying up to the wee hours of the morning waiting. Yes, we'll get it done for the batch. If we get motivated we may even have it out before next week, which SPOILER ALERT: is going to be another recap... probably. But this all hinges on if we get a script, because like hell I'm doing a full TL of this just for shits and giggles when perfectly acceptable UTW subs exist.

And here's this week's staff chan feature:
<DaBear> >still no script
<DaBear> jesus they're not actually doing it tonight
<DaBear> and now im worried
<DaBear> they may not do it for a recap
<DaBear> and i REALLY dont want to have to do a full TL
<forks> maybe you can bribe albel727 to help
<forks> DaBear, albel is actually a hot blonde from east siberia
<forks> knows japanese like.. regionally and shit you know?
<Aesop> blonde from siberia, yeah
<forks> ice queen
<DaBear> lol
<DaBear> >east siberia
<DaBear> >blonde
<klaxa> fucking what
<klaxa> it's fucking nekomonogatari
<klaxa> wtf
<DaBear> >not remaining mongol
<klaxa> SHAFT
<DaBear> lol
<DaBear> someone said that earlier
<DaBear> im really wondering if HS does this
<DaBear> because its a recap
<DaBear> also i would laugh my ass off if the next three weeks were neko
<forks> is it really nekomonogatari kuro?
<forks> the fuck
<klaxa> so far it seemed like it
<klaxa> DaBear, daisuki is delaying
<klaxa> not HS apparently
<klaxa> but on the other hand i can't view anything on daisuki
<klaxa> you run windows, no? can you try?
<forks> their shit is probably jacked up, across the board
<forks> some content server somewhere caught fire and there are technicians running around with fire extinguishers
<DaBear> lolwut
<DaBear> did they really
<forks> i'm just joking/guessing
<DaBear> if so, oh well, we'll be late too, not that it matters
<klaxa> we can just say: "lol go watch nekomonogatari again and wait a few weeks
<DaBear> is it really the first 30mins of kuro?
<forks> "maybe we'll put it in the batch"
<DaBear> lolololol
<DaBear> yes
<DaBear> lets take a week off
<DaBear> ill make the laziness post on the blog
<Aesop> recap episode looks like
<forks> it's apparently the shit from bakemonogatari, where they first find the white cat
<klaxa> cut and pasted nekomonogatari black
<klaxa> that's what it is
<Aesop> so entire story of tsubasa in an episode
<DaBear> lol
<DaBear> alright
<DaBear> so uhh
<klaxa> i compared the raw with UTW's nekomonogatari subs
<DaBear> lets just say fuck it
<klaxa> if you sync it up correctly, you get the same shit except for some audio stuff

Monogatari Series S2 05



Moe~

The Daisuki script this week was surprisingly not as bad as usual. Well....save for the line of horror. The fifth spoken line. Its been a long time since I've seen a TL that bad(yes, even the register thing from last week wasn't as bad as this). Straight up Hadena level shit.

Delays this week brought to you by: WE NOW HAVE A GODDAMN QC. Everybody say hi to Aesoup, he's our new guy to blame if you find any errors.

Aesoup's space to eventually do an introduction: Apparently all he wants to say is: "poopsticks."

Monogatari Series S2 04



All you need to know about this ep is this picture here. Oh, and we actually have a decent bit of plot progression this week. Delays this week brought to you by: Lots of typesetting by klaxa, and me getting motivated as hell and making more changes than usual to the HS script.

For today's shit said in the staff chan, I couldn't decide between these two:

<@DaBear> and i figured out the problem with the script im working on
<@DaBear> its the worst localizations in the history of man
<@DaBear> makes commie look tame
<@DaBear> >"reji mitai janee ka?"(reji=register aka cash register)
<@DaBear> >"She works at Walmart or something?"
<@DaBear> WHAT
<@DaBear> HOW IS THAT AT ALL ACURATE
<@DaBear> THAT DOESNT EVEN GET THE SAME GODDAMN MEANING

<@forks> i promise i will be around tomorrow, beginning 21 hours from now
<@klaxa> i might be late tomorrow, going to a local lake with friends
<@forks> i'll be sure to fill your shit with highlights
<@forks> and cake
<DaBear> >spoons
<DaBear> >cake
<DaBear> good one

My rage knows no spelling or grammar. The latter makes more sense if you see Spoons-kun's feeble attempts at getting oishii keeki from klaxa's bot.(that may or may not have just been a shameless plug to get more lurkers in the public chan)

---

Okay klaxa here, what the hell it's 10 AM and I want to sleep, like DaBear and forks, who left me about 2 and 8 hours ago respectively. I hope I didn't fuck shit up; if I did blame the other two please... Anything else? No? Good...

Edit: Just as expected I fucked up a little, so blame DaBear and forks, because I feel like blaming them for no reason whatsoever. Grab this patch and everything should be fine now: Patch

Instructions on how to apply the patch are in the archive and can be found here.

Recruiting


Useless bunny just for shits and giggles.

Anywho, if anyone has access to raws(and preferably can encode too) and wants to donate a bit of time on Saturdays, let one of us(me, Klaxa, or Spoons-kun) know, we'd like to actually have a decent quality encode, but we've been stuck using HS since certain rawfags I know are completely MIA.

And as with any group, anyone who can into moon, wants to QC, or edit or something, let us know. Never hurts to have too many people, plus we may be able to do more down the road if enough people try out pass. And yes, there will be a test(that we'll make up at somepoint~).

And now for our occasional feature, "Shit that happens in the staff chan":
<@forks> why is my shit all full of highlights?
<@klaxa> because today is saturd-- WAS saturday
<@forks> i feel like that is supposed to mean something
<@klaxa> monogatari aired today
<@klaxa> er... yesterday
<@forks> ah

Monogatari Series S2 03




Long hair Karen is best Karen. Also, yes we do get more characters other than Crab and Neko this episode, prepare yourself.

Earlier than last week this time. Though we still had a few minor delays. Delays brought to you by: random customers sitting right next to me when I'm trying to work on this at work, sleep deprivation, lack of food, missing utensils, and Daiz.

Oh, and if you didn't notice, we have an IRC. #node on Rizon, like all the other cool kids.

Now if you'll excuse me, time for bed, as I intend to wake up early and watch The Open.

Edit: And now with a working release pic!

Expect releases more commonly late Saturday nights, but after a 12 hour work day and not eating anything till I got home, TLCing(read: "whatever the fuck I'm doing"), was not going to happen.

Monogatari Series Season 2 01v2

Obligatory Neko pic for Neko arc



Okay, so here's your v2, albeit later than I promised. Delays brought to you by: Klaxa. Okay, maybe a little bit me for sleeping in, but it was my day off, so whatever. Fixed some wording I didn't like, made the text screen an intentional error again, and back to mooninite name order. We're working on getting our own encode on this, so hopefully there should be a better quality video in the nearish future.

Oh, and if you haven't yet, go help based Trigger save anime.

Monogatari Series Second Season Episode 01

Adaptation of the second season of the Monogatari Series.



DaBear Edit: So we may be doing a v2 later since I'm now a part of this janks and will be TLCing. Expect future releases Sunday early afternoon EST at the absolute latest. Would be earlier, but not all of us can be NEETs. Oh, and just in case DK sees this: MERRY FUCKING DOKO?

Typesetting is hard.


First Post

Hi everyone, this is the blog for Node Fansubs.  We don't really even exist yet.  But... we are beginning work on some existing subs that are well... Horrible.  Firstly we will be working on some minor corrections and major typesetting for Monogatari Season 2.
