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.

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.
