Good point about starting with something that no one bothered finishing. For example, no one bothered completing Soul Eater (Though it's probably better to have a test run with a much shorter series).
On your comment about releasing crap: That's why I like Gotwoot. We're a group of dedicated, if not critical individuals. I have faith that we can work together to release stuff that's amazing quality.

Soul Eater was subbed. Just not totally by any single group.
Daa Daa Daa!! would be a better example, unless Aone is still working on that..
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think that for now we should focus either on re-encoding or on DVDs and BDs
Not only are they simpler and allow us for more time to prepare, they don't necessarily require translators who we seem to lack for now
That makes me think you want to take on THORA.Originally Posted by Archangel
If we can get the job done better/faster, why not.

Actually our only real competition should we try this would be chihiro and if we can't do better than them then we should just heed Munsu's words of warning and drop the whole thingThat makes me think you want to take on THORA.

Since you get stuff from Thora more often than other people I know, what do you think about their speed Ark?
Sure, they've got to wait for the actual BDs to come out and all, but once that's out, how fast do they make a release?
I know Ef - Melodies was out long ago, and they still haven't completed that project yet.

They actually completed ef today, took them about a year
They're quality subbers so time is not their concern, and honestly neither should it be ours. Time tables turn people off in a big way, i say we take our time and work on that as we move along
I'm all for taking on THORA provided we somehow get the BD releases.
btw THORA does not sub anything. They use other group's scripts.
For now us folks on IRC are looking at Working! once we get situated and a team formed, pending shinta's approval. According to BoC only m.3.3.w is doing it well, and they're taking it slow so we can focus more on competing quality wise.
We definitely need: Raw Getter/Capper, Translators, Timers/Typesetters, Distro.
see post 2 for who does what
All positions are OPEN though.

According to my search on tokyotosho I see 4 groups working on Working!! or at least have released an episode 2, SHiN-GX, Chihiro, the m33w collab, and Saitei.
The Chihiro ones were rather decent quality, and they release fast. But they also seem to release v2s often.
Yuurisan and m.3.3.w. are also working on it and to think we can do a better job than them when we're just getting started is nothing short of naive
Who says we have to start this season anyway, we're still deciding on positions.
I would love to work on Working! since it is one of my favoured shows this season, but with the amount of competition, we will probably not achieve much as Arch has noted. It might be better to start when we already have a relatively complete cast, even if it means starting next season.
Peace.
do House of Five Leaves or something. since afaik all that's available is Funi rips.

Just throwing this in there for when things start rolling - you'll probably need a policy on shows getting licensed and all.
Gotwoot as a tracker's ran into C&D issues before.

Agreed. I don't want to rush things which is why I used words like "looking at" and "once our team is formed". Maybe we won't get started for a few weeks or even until next season, but we can still start off with something like Working (or whatever you/the staff decides) when we're ready. Also, Since you're the only translator ATM, everything you translate pends your approval. <3
I'm also not expecting us to shoot to the top with one release. However, IMO Looking to beat the best isn't a bad thing, so when I talk about competition I mean in quality not speed, I'm saying we should look to pass them instead of putting out something mediocre because it's our first release. If anyone comes up with more ideas for what we should sub first when our team is formed I definitely want to hear them. Of course doing something people would want to dl is huge (as Masa or someone said).
Also learning timing in case no one wants to fill the position, but I don't know if I'll be perfect by the time the group is formed so still looking timer/typesetter.

If I remember correctly, I addressed this on IRC and I think we came to the conclusion that we wouldn't sub anything that got licensed. Seeing as it would be Gotwoot that hosted the tracker, and it their name we are using, we wouldn't want to bring any trouble to the community.
That being said, I have no idea what we would do in the situation a show we are subbing becomes licensed midway through.
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
Dropping it would be the only option right?
Peace.
That would be the idea. But it's yet to be said how strongly anyone would feel about abandoning something they've worked on for a decent amount of time already. I mean, you hear of countless times when a subbing group (that is against licensed series) gets a C&D letter that they actually ignore.

Timing is pretty easy. I pretty much learned it when I was asked to fill in for someone. Only problem is if you're not pro (which I'm not), it takes a long time.
