Don't know if they're any good.

[Buffalobiian]

Ow, why is everyone being so big? 379 MiB

I'll probably join the bandwagon and wait for Rumbel. Probably...

Maka's voice work is awful. It's such a dull sounding voice to begin with, but the VA is just so unresponsive and monotonous.

[Dark Dragon]

Tadashi's release is pretty watchable since the only complaint i really have is the odd wording for a few phrases.

They also put Brea has Blair's name but maybe that was an intentional joke so I'll let it slide.

The episode itself is pretty close to the manga material with one very minor comedy scene not being included.

@Animus I've heard a lot of other people complain about how much they dislike Maka's voice but i personally like it because in my opinion it fits her personality. The voice they picked for Frankenstein sound exactly like what I'd imagine and i hope the voice actor do him justice because Stein is my favorite character by far.

[Munsu]

I don't see why people don't like Maka's voice, I love it myself.

[Darknodin]

I like Maka's voice...

about the episode, i found it actually very good! and it all seems like a set up.

Worth pointing out that they put both versions of the episode in the file. I think it's quite dumb for them to do so, but whatever. You can switch between them through the spitter, just as you would go to change the audio or subs of a release.

From the way you guys talk about them, I take it these guys are the best to archive from?

[Munsu]

Not sure, I'll probably keep them or S9. I haven't seen their version yet, but if past performance is an indication, then probably.

[Yukimura]

A-E Saizen are typically good quality, but they're just going to drop it once it's licensed anyway

[Buffalobiian]

Well in that case, Rumbel seems like a version everyone's happy with.

[Yukimura]

Really liked this ep, plot! The intro eps were fun but I'm glad it jumps right into plot instead of spending any more time on single serving eps. The Kid is much cooler when he's sitting in a chair trying to sound like a badass mover and shaker than when he's trying to fight.

And I found the soul resonance thing hilarious. Typically once the main character powers up in an early episode they proceed to obliterate the opponent with no problem, it was great to see the power up completely wasted because of clumsiness and then for them to win with regular skills.

[Buffalobiian]

AEN - release, for those interested.

[Munsu]

For those waiting for Rumbel like I was:

Soul Eater 4 Delayed.
Hey people, sorry for the delay, but the episode is 2/3 done and it can not be encoded till the day I return which will be Wednesday or Thursday this week. Also do not pester or inendate the staff with questions regarding this as it will probably just annoy them. So, until then, have a good week and good luck on exams or whatever. *Goes back to prepping for his trip.* PS: Keep reading this post as to any updates, check here.

Might take a look at the Tadashi version later if I get impatient.

Whats the difference between the LATE SHOW and primetime version?

[Munsu]

Whats the difference between the LATE SHOW and primetime version?

At this point, nothing of substance... maybe some added scenes after the episode is done, like for introducing the next episode, more ecchi ads in the intermissions, etc. Don't know if it'll change in future episodes, but from what I've seen there's little difference if any to the episode itself.

Well, I tried watching the Tadashi version, and it was pissing me off with their term usage and questioning editing and translation.

By the way, they weren't sent for 'maintenance', they were sent for 'supplementary lessons' - that's what 'hoshuu' means, in this instance in particular. This is were I decided to stop watching.

I won't touch AEN, so hopefully Rumbel or someone else releases it soon.

Even though I didn't like their episode 4...by Tadashi:

[Darknodin]

Well, the obvious happened. wonder when the three-eyed Han-Rasen are gonna appear.
