First Update

[hanazawahyuuga.livejournal.com]

To those who have joined this community and have extended their hand in helping out, THANK YOU.

I haven't had the chance to update the fansubbers masterpost, but I've already tried to contact some who are still fairly active. These include:

• Jeffer (dvampyrlestat) - I've sent her a PM, an email, and also requested to follow her on Twitter. (Her twitter account is locked but it looks like she still updates it.) Also, all of Jeffer's subbed files are open (anyone can view them) - here's a line from her post in verbatim: No online streaming, reuploading or reposting of links outside of this LJ. Just...link back here, when you could. It's not locked, anyway. If we reupload her files and post them on the comments section, that should be okay, don't you think? Let me know!


• Aki aatash - I PMed her.


• nyanchan - I PMed her.


• palmandgo - I PMed her.


• Becky (taijiprojectsub) I followed her on twitter and left her a bunch of tweets.

Also, I'm not sure if you guys know, but ast_team is now working on reuploading their files!

Again, everyone, I appreciate your help. I have no idea how successful this project will be, but hopefully, we do get to retrieve some files and give back to the fandom.

If you have comments and suggestions, please don't hesitate to leave a comment. All the best!

I'm not sure about this, but I always had the impression that nyanchan translated episodes of AnS (e.g. this one (http://nyanchan.livejournal.com/32995.html)) but did not actually do subtitling. If ever she posted links of shows with her translations, the subtitling work were done by other people like techni_teddy and yuckie_chan. So I think it would be better to ask permission from them as well.

However, it would still be good to ask nyanchan if her translations can be used for subbing even if other people have already done so. It may entail a little more legwork like looking for the raw files, but at least the translation is already there.

the other community that do reupload their files is ANM and stormy.. I believe stormy won't give permission with this project and I don't know about ANM. For ANM you can ask harunomasu, she is active and maintain the community for a short time or you can ask the current leader..

This project prioritizes inactive subbing teams and the like. Since Stormy and ANM are quite active let's just let them do their own thing. :)

Thank you for making this community. I leave the fandom for some times because I've been busy with real life, when I'm trying to catch up, not so many old files available so I'm very happy to found so many here. Thank you very much for your hard work! I really appreciated it! Thank you again~
