Girls und Panzer Blu-Ray Batch + Specials

Self-congratulatory applause.

And so the Girls und Panzer TV  BD’s are officially done and released.
What a great series this was. Definitely one of the more enjoyable shows of 2012.

Girls und Panzer Blu-Ray Batch + Specials

If you haven’t noticed yet, the batch also contains OVA01-06.
We took the liberty however, of naming them “Specials/SPs,” because although technically they are OVA (as they even call it OVAs), I know that there will be another Girls und Panzer “OVA” chronicling the battle against Anzio, and another movie with a brand new story arc. Take that bit of information however you guys want to.

The OVA/SP’s are based on Hiryuu/AK-Submarines scripts.
OVA1 is from Hiryuu, while the rest are AK’s.

However, they have been heavily (and I do mean heavily) modified.
They were re-timed from scratch, with new dialogue scripts *based* on the original scripts. New typesetting for 99.99% of it as well.
The OP/ED’s used for them are Commie’s v2 karaoke.

You guys have nova to thank for even suggesting we do the specials, and of course Farfie for encoding them.

Bad news is that everybody will have to re-download episodes 1-10. I know I said 1-8 before, but there have *major* changes to the scripts; enough to warrant totally new versions. The number of changes is anywhere between 500 and 1,000; frankly I’ve lost track a long time ago. Sorry for no patches either, but some episodes required new encodes.

Good news is that the scripts are a lot better, at least in my opinion.

Special thanks to Farfie, nova, and Utahime for putting up with my aegisub derpness.

I hope you guys enjoy watching the series as much as I did.

As for future releases, you’ll just have to wait and see. I prefer batch releases, whether I’m downloading them or working on them (apparently), so take that into consideration from now on. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a mountain of anime that’s been backlogged because of this. Cya.

OniAi done!

Releasing a batch is always a great thing. It’s that… feeling completeness and telling everyone of a job well done. Of course, as a BD re-release group staffs are typically 1 person, but we like to run it through a bit of editing and QC just in case. Sub groups aren’t perfect, and although what we churn out isn’t either, it just doesn’t feel right without at least giving it a little bit of love if it needs it. We will be a lot more perfect in the future when things aren’t so crazy. Anyway…

For this show, it was me and Utahime, who did some editing and QC.
Farfie – The loli manager is best girl… probably.
Utahime – I’m gonna miss the OP.

Girls und Panzer Volume 5

Hey guys, I’m the QC working on the series.
Since I’m the biggest GuP nerd on staff, it naturally falls to me to make a release post.

Here’s Volume 5 of the greatest show of 2012, Girls und Panzer.
Episode 09
Episode 10
Next up is the batch release.

Unfortunately however, the batch release will include new versions of episodes 1-8. It sucks for people that have already downloaded them, but I promise they will be worth it. There are more than 250 fixes/changes that come with these new versions. I decided that a patch would be too bothersome to implement in a batch release. On top of that, episode 6 will require an entirely fresh encode.

It’s my fault however for not picking up on these mistakes the first time around. You can direct the blame towards me.

Lastly, as many of you know, the final BD volume of GuP is going to be released on 6/21. We’ll put the batch release out some time after that.

Recruiting Typesetter

Yep. You should at least know, in theory, how to do complex typesetting. Being fast isn’t required, which is the benefit of being part of a sub group that’s not a seasonal speedsub group.

So if you’ve been dabbling, and feel confident you can handle almost anything given enough time, now would be a good time to see what you can do for a group that needs stuff done.

TLRD Finished!

Wow, finished on one of the first things we decided to pick up (or was it the first actually? I can’t remember). Seems like it took longer than it was supposed to, but we got everything out in an orderly time frame… I guess it just seems like longer than it should have taken.

Anyway season 2 is already announced (not it’s not, sorry Doom for getting your hopes up! But thanks for correcting me anyway) an OVA was announced, and yes, of course we’re going to do it. It’s of my opinion that this show is proof that God exists, even if Tim the Kangaroo tries to convince you otherwise. You probably already have your own opinion on this matter, but you can’t deny that Mikan’s heavenly presence makes you think twice… “God definitely put her here for me. No doubt about it.”
