Recruiting Translators


I am looking for translators to help with checking the translations of A Channel and 30-sai specifically. Your grasp of Japanese should be decent.

Previous experience in fansubbing not required.

Please email me at misteranonimous@gmail.com.

Happy Birthday, Hologfx!

Caek
Today is Hologfx’s Birthday and therefore a post in order to commemorate it is a must. There is nothing much we can do via the net to celebrate it, but let us at least congratulate him, for he is the founder of Doki and a good friend. :D

Post hijacks are not allowed, Zdm321 :v Just sayin’

April Update + Recruiting Translators!

April Update

Recruiting a Japanese Translator
Firstly, I am looking for a translator to replace someone who has disappeared. Due to CR picking up so many damn shows again next season, I have had to change my plans considerably, and I have some potential shows that I would like to do, but I need a translator. Previous experience in fansubbing not required, but proficiency at Japanese required. If you’re interested, please email me at misteranonimous@gmail.com.

General
As you might have noticed, I have enlarged the blog layout to fit two more sidebars in, as I want space to fit in status updates. As such, I will need some new banners; the current Zombie banner is temporary. I will start up another banner competition in the coming days. There are some old banners that I really love, and if the makers rendered them in the new resolution (1240×250), they will accepted straightaway. More on that later.

Spring 2011 Shows

  • Nichijou
  • Seikon no Qwaser II

I will only confirm two spring shows at the moment. However, this is only a fraction of the shows that we will release. The other shows are nearly finalized, but I want to confirm schedules before announcing.

Blu-Ray

  • Seto no Hanayome – Will be finished by the end of next week.
  • Seikon no Qwaser – Will do my best to complete this before the release of the first episode of Season 2. The picture dramas have actually all been translated now, and I will release a batch of this in the coming week.
  • Haruhi – Confident that it will be complete before the release of Clannad ~After Story~
  • MTLR – Vol 5 will be out in about 2 weeks.
  • SYD – Nana has not had as much progress as he would have liked in TLing this, so this might be delayed past April. But hey, at least KxS, Neko and BGHK got done.
  • Shows not mentioned are not priority at this point, but will be done, so don’t worry.

Airing Shows

  • Zombie – Double release of 11 and 12 this week. I expect to release 11 on Monday night and 12 on either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jecht’s Shows

  • Asobi – The release of the last volume and the batches is imminent.
  • Saki – Steady progress.

Zdm’s Shows

  • Haruhi-chan – 7-12 will be out soon.

Enjoy our upcoming releases!

Japanese Earthquake

As I am sure you have heard, an earthquake measuring a record 8.9 on the Richter scale struck off the cost of North-East Japan earlier today. The resulting tsunami has devastated coastal towns.

Our thoughts go to Japan in these very difficult moments. And to help them, along with you, we invite you to donate to our fund raise on GlobalGiving that will go to International Medical Corps, Save the Children and other organizations on the ground to providing support.

Mirko Muresan, President of Kesenai Non-Governmental Organization

As we have reached our donation goal for this month, I am going to open up donations for the rest of the month, and all proceeds will go to the Red Cross. If you are from a fansub group, you should consider posting the donation link on your blog too.

Recruiting Cappers

As Holo hinted at a few days ago, we plan on releasing shows quickly next season. However, one major time drain is acquiring raws, which can take days to show up on Japanese P2P networks. To alleviate this, we’re looking for a few cappers that can provide us with fast, quality transport stream (.ts) raws. The job itself is fairly easy (it can even be automated!), and has only one major requirement: you (or just your capping equipment) must be located in Japan.

We’re looking for these channels in particular:

Tokyo Region: TV Tokyo, Fuji TV, TBS

Osaka Region: TV Osaka, MBS

Aichi Region: TV Aichi

Prefecture-specific: Tokyo MX (Tokyo Prefecture), Chiba TV (Chiba Prefecture), TV Saitama/Teletama (Saitama Prefecture), Sun TV (Hyogo Prefecture)

Satellite: AT-X HD

Feel free to email us at misteranonimous@gmail.com if you receive any of these channels and are willing to cap for us.

Chances are, you are already capping shows on these channels and only have to set up a script to push the .ts onto our server.

March Update

March Update

So I realise one thing Doki lacks is regular updates on progress of all shows. So from now on, I’ll post regular updates monthly, usually on the last Sunday of the month.

General

  • Over the past 2 months, I have exponentially increased Doki’s staff, particularly with the training of 10 new timers and recruitment of ~10 new editors.
  • This is in preparation for next season, which will be a big one for Doki. More on that in the next update.
  • To combat the 500 spambots that spam the blog on a daily basis, I have installed a captcha system. If you want to avoid it, just sign up on the blog, and you won’t see the captcha when you comment.

Airing Projects

  • Zombie – Similar to MTLR last season, it is progressing smoothly, no problems whatsoever.

BD Projects

  • Shuffle – Shinisaki has unfortunately fallen ill, and cannot release this project as planned. However, I will get the new timers and editors on this ASAP, and we will hammer out releases soon.
  • Haruhi – Due to uni etc getting busier lately, I have not had the chance to release it. However, similar to Shuffle, I will ask the new staff to help me move it along, and releases should be coming soon.
  • Seto no Hanayome – After a long period of no releases, we’re now up to ep12. 13 should be out in the next week.
  • MTLR – Up to date.
  • Ore no Imouto – QCing the scripts for BD release. Will probably release as a huge batch of Vols 1-4.

Backlog BDs

  • Seikon no Qwaser – @Dmon for TLC. All episodes have now been encoded.
  • B Gata H Kei – All 720p and half of the 1080ps have been encoded. 1-4 awaiting release, and 5-12 awaiting TLC. This project will be complete by April
  • SYD – Nana will translate this show from where we left off. This project will also be complete in April.

Jecht’s Projects

  • Saki – Progressing.
  • Shukufuku no Campanella Vol.6 plus all specials left are in the queue to be encoded.
  • Asobi ni Iku Yo! Vol.5 should be done soon.

Zdm321′s Projects

  • Haruhi-chan – Progressing.

Other Misc Stuff

  • Donations – Many thanks to all who donate every month.

Lastly, I just want to give a special shoutout to ZeroYuki. He was Doki’s first ever translator and has stuck by us to this day, making him the longest serving member of Doki’s staff. He’s also translated the most shows for Doki. If he had chosen to translate Ladies versus Butlers for another group back in Winter 2009, Doki will most certainly not be where it is today. So, thanks!

To conclude this update, thanks for your continued support, and enjoy our upcoming releases!

Holo,
Founder of Doki Fansubs.

Happy Chinese New Year!! (+Blu-Ray Announcements)

On behalf of the entire Doki Staff, I wish all Chinese and Vietnamese a joyous Lunar New Year.

I tried looking for pics appropriate for such an occasion. Obviously posting NSFW pics are definitely inappropriate and also I received complains from people who claim the over ecchi pics put their jobs in jeopardy. So this time round, SFW pics are included.

As I was saying, I can’t find appropriate pictures relating to the New Year but instead I find many Christmas ones. I guess this shows that Christmas is more marketable? Or is it a reflection of the growing influence of westernisation? In any case, the above two seems close enough, representing fireworks and reunion dinner.

The pictures are wallpapers, click to enlarge. So well… enjoy I guess.

I will hijack this post and officially announce that Shuffle, Toradora AND Kodomo no Jikan Blu-ray will be picked up. -Holo

Looking to train 2 more timers!

Following the success of new timers Cyler and Crust, I am looking to train 2 more timers, as their training is now complete.

I am looking for people in the Canadian/American timezones specifically. We have timers stretching from the UK all the way to South East Asia, but I require timers from Canadian/American time zones so that I have timers available 24/7.

Thanks to everyone who emailed me. I will be going through my emails and reply to everyone.

Applications now CLOSED! Look out for the next recruitment post.

Anime Index & Reseeding

Anime Index

Remember I made a anime DDL site a while back but it had disappeared? That’s because I had abandoned that design to come up with something completely new.

And here it is! I am pleased roll out v1 of my new anime DDL site, which I have named “Anime Index”.

On it has DDLs for all Doki shows, and DDLs for all airing shows from this season on. Check it out!

I have reseeded the majority of torrents which died along with anirena. Updated links are on Anime Index.

At the moment, it is a pretty simple site, but I will be adding a lot more features to it in future versions. Many thanks to AvidElite, who helped me with coding and Pahndamonium, who will be maintaining the database for the site.
