Oofuri thread?

If you're curious, Entropy has announced they dropped the anime and given reasons (hidden in the forum, but it's there): http://forum.entropy-manga.com/index.php?topic=227.0

Part 4 already? Well... even if they dropped the anime, they should at least make it up to us in scanlations

Jesus christ, that admin is fucking retarded. What the hell are they beating around the bush for? A "little treasure to find in the forum treasure map"..? WHATTHEFUCKHGFDHGFD.

Seriously, I don't get these people. Oofuri is a great show/manga, it deserves to be handled with a little more respect.

According to Entropy, they'd translated/checked up to episode 6 with Saizen before breaking the joint. No clues as to why why Saizen isn't releasing.

Duuuuuude.
Seriously, I wonder if it would be possible to create an LJ scanlating crew. There are quite a few Japanese-speaking people in the fandom that could cooperate in translating so I guess finding editors would pose a greater problem.
>> Anonymous
And what about Saizen?.. Did they say a single word about it? What are they planning?!
It's just getting on my nerves.

Maybe I should go away and download RAWs. What a pity! I can understand only basic words like "baka" and "kawaii". Shit happens.

how many volumes of the manga are out in japan and how many have they translated?

also anime vs manga: which is superior?
>> Anonymous

>>402259

Saizen has said nothing. Entropy claims Saizen is not even answering their questions.

You should really watch the raws: they're identical to the manga (what's scanlated of it), and where the scanlation ends you could always use the detailed episode summaries you can find on the LJ comm.

anime > manga when it comes to art quality. but there's always the stuff you don't get to see in the anime.
>> Anonymous

According to Baka Updates, in Japan the series is ongoing with 7 volumes already out. Entropy scanlated up to the second chapter of volume 2.

As for anime vs manga, I can't really choose. The anime has better art, but I'd recommend both.

There's actually a handful of people on LJ who could probably get the translation done, but we're still seeking more of them. Thanks for offering help for editing, that's seriosuly appreciated! We'll notify /cm/ and the LJ comms if-when things actually get started.

ATTN Oofuri fans: a quick scanlation project was just launched on LJ and we need staff.
Even if you don't have experience, you're welcome. (Editors, typesetters, QC-ers, but especially translators!)

The community is raep_time on LJ. The name speaks for itself, really.

I find it pointless, and a large waste of time. It's easily the thing about editting that takes the most time and effort, and it's not even needed. Personally, I think it looks better left untouched, anyway.. and it's so, so much easier to just put the translated SE in a blank space near the panal.

>>402989

You're welcome! I like the sound of that. Slow releases are sad releases D:

i second this. if you want your scans quickly, don't make your scanlators spend ages on taking out the sfx and especially redrawing

Aren't Entropy continuing the scanlation of Ookiku anyway...? Aren't we in need of the ANIME translated?

If I wasn't about to go on vacation I'd convince my friend to help me translate and fansub Oofuri. :(
>> Anonymous
>>403575

We're probably not able to fansub a series (lacking the whole tech department-knowledge), whereas we can put together a scanlator team. Entropy is going to release their HQ chapters as usual and with their own pace, but what we're aiming for are average quality *quick* releases. :) If you happen to have time to translate with us when you're back from vacation, you're welcome!

We might also look into fansubbing later on if the project works, we have the staff, and Saizen keeps being absent... who knows?
>> Anonymous
>>403591

Actually, my friend'd be the one translating (Japanese-Engrish), I'd be the one rewording/typesetting/timing/encoding/whatever. (: Afraid I can't be of much help to a scanlation project, but if you're ever going to make the jump to fansubbing and I'm back from my holidays, I'll lend whatever help you may need.

Be careful when it comes to fansubbing though, i would love to help out and so would my friend. She posted an entry at the oofuri com over here http://community.livejournal.com/oofuri_etc/9757.html?thread=67357 and the saizen translator guilt tripped everyone with the whole 'WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST .___.;;;;;;;;; PLEASE DON'T STEAL OUR ANIMU .______________.'

God. Why did this fandom bring in the twats? Everyone on /cm/ is fantastic but when it comes to the scanlators/funsubbers they're just a pile of wankstains. Tch.
>> Anonymous
>>403610

Tch D8 entry is f-locked. But this is what saizen's translator did say about starting up a fansubbing group

'-_-;;; well, it's up to you, but I personally think it would pay to wait a bit longer. I guess you all might have missed it, but I'm the translator working on oofuri for Saizen ._.;; I can understand your desire to get it now, but yeah... mixed feelings... We're currently just waiting on the technical part of it for most of the episodes and I'm only an episode behind translations. It is considered somewhat bad form to jump in on a series midway, when another group is clearly working on it, but I guess as long as you don't all boycott saizen ._.;;; *cries*'

Then in came all the sucking up with the 'thanks for your hard work 8DDDD'
Yeah. With releasing three episodes. Great, you've still got another 10 or so to catch up to.
