Haruhi episode 08 (Ep 01 of 2009) in HD

Finally got my hands on a higher quality raw and as promised, here's the better quality version of Haruhi episode 8. There's no ordered chapters involved with this release. You can grab the new version here, http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=66247

If you have a bit of time, answer the poll on the bottom. A simple yes or no will do. The results of the poll and the feedback received will affect the way my future episodes will be released in.



Edit: Download the new torrent from above. A problem occurred with the first one.

POLL: Ordered chapters -or- No ordered chapters

As the title states, do you prefer ordered chapters or no ordered chapters? I've released season 1 of Haruhi in dual audio and ordered chapters but I realize that not everyone would prefer having ordered chapters. For starters, ordered chapters mean having the OP and ED in separate files which can reduce the size of the main file while retaining the same quality. Although it saves space, not everyone prefers having them since they claim it as an "incomplete" file. In essence, it is no different than the full file provided that your media player can support linked files and that both your OP and ED are in the same folder as your episodes.

Not many people realize that ordered chapters require significantly more work for the encoder and they simply think of them as just a nuisance and couldn't care less with the space that ordered chapters save. If people prefer having ordered chapters, I don't mind the extra work and can continue to do it for future episodes of Haruhi. But if you think having them is too much of a hassle for you, then I can do future releases with just the normal file instead of making ordered chapters. I'm not sure how to use an actual poll or if blogspot can even support that kind of feature, but you can leave comments and even a simple "yes" or "no" will suffice. So let me hear your opinions!

I'm currently encoding a higher quality raw for episode 8, so expect a release of it soon.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episode 08

I've finally finished the translation and timing of episode 8. Took longer than I expected since doing everything by yourself isn't pretty. Before anyone asks, yes this is in 1280x720 resolution. It might not look quite up to par with my previous releases visually due to the quality of the source that it was encoded from, but this was encoded from the best raw that I could find. As I had stated before, if a higher quality raw becomes available in the future, then I will do another release for episode 8 using the better raw. Episode 8 is equivalent to episode 1 of season 2, I kept the numbers in order as to not confuse anyone.

You can grab episode 8 here, http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=download&tid=66115

On a side note: This is my first translation of an actual anime episode, so I guess this is also a milestone for myself. As always, let me know if there are any problems with my releases, any comments are appreciated.

New settings (Now anonymous users can post comments)

I've noticed that when I created this blog, I didn't change the default requirement that you must be registered in order to post comments. This may seem like an unnecessary thing to do especially for a relatively new site such as this. I have now disabled that feature and anyone can post comments now. So feel free to post any comments, even on past episodes that you may have wanted to comment on, but just didn't feel the need to register to do so.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 07_ (720p dual audio with ordered chapters)

The last episode of season 1 is finally out. This is the final episode of season 1 as of now, new episodes from season 1 will likely air somewhere in the near future. Due to the antics of Kadokawa, the release schedule is not set in stone, and therefore no one really knows for sure when each episode will air and we can only speculate. Anyways, you can grab episode 7 here,

So far, there are not many great raws for episode 8. I might just do an early release for episode 8 and then do a higer quality one later on when a better raw becomes available.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 06_ (720p dual audio with ordered chapters)

Episode 6 has been released. You can get it here, http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=65697

I'm now working on episode 7 and hopefully episode 8 after that. Check again later on updates regarding those episodes.

The new highly anticipated season 2 of Haruhi aired yesterday and I might start doing that as well after I finish with these first 7 episodes. I'll update this blog later if I do decide to do that.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episode 4 (dual audio, linked chapters 1280x720)

The 4th episode of Haruhi has been released. I've been working kind of fast on these releases, so there might be errors here and there. Depending on the feedback received I might release episodes 5-7 within the next few days. As always, if you have any problems playing the files, post them here.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 01-02 (720p dual audio with ordered chapters)

Hey everyone, so this is my first post on this blog and I just want to give a little introduction about myself. I'm new to the fansubbing scene and right now, my group only consists of 1 member, myself. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is my first project and I decided to work on it as a challenge for myself. Since the english dub is readily available and with ordered chapters becoming more common, I decided to challenge myself and see if I can get those 2 things to work together. As of now, I don't think I've seen any release that incorporates both dual audio and ordered chapters. And Haruhi is a good place to start with the new high quality re-broadcast.
