Well, this may sound pretty crazy but i'm just putting it out there.
What if... you left it the fuck alone?
At least try to put an amusing spin on it if you're going to attempt to be amusing...

As a pianist, I don't think ANYTHING would replace original songs. The original songs sound full, and include many instruments that a single piano (digital piano even) can never ever replace.Originally Posted by Yukimura
They really said that? haha.
Anyway, lol at your 181 comments from this episode. xD

Episode 9: More of Yuki's stupidity. All going home together like nothing happened? How much more of an idiot can he be? I'm not quite sure what Mao was doing when she stabbed the other chick, but either she moved really slow, or Yuno has super speed to be able to stab her at the same time. I also don't understand the effect of calling Yuno his girlfriend. In Yuno's mind, weren't they already lovers? Seems like she would have said "Well, duh" at that point (or something to that effect). In the end though, I really liked Akise. I figured he didn't have a diary, but he's incredibly smart at figuring out what to do and when to do it.
Episode 10: This felt like a filler episode. It introduced the cop from Minene's past, and gave the illusion of a distraction while Akise toured Yuno's house, but it still felt like filler. It wasn't really bad, but I didn't really enjoy it (the wedding trial scenes at least; Minene's struggle against the third was quite interesting, sans Murmur dialogue).
I have a feeling the space-time-contortion situation is either already (still) in effect, or will be explained soon. Even if they all seem unrelated, there were three points in episode 10 where something was "forgotten".
It's dangerous to go alone. Take Nep.
It's a declaration that upped her status, and told others to back off. It provided the security that Yuno was missing. Before, she was still in the "friend" zone.

I forgot to comment about this in my last post since I was focused more on catching up:
Paraphrased slightly, to elaborate the feeling I have. Reading through a few of the entries on the site definitely made it apparent. Although, it seems trolling is the "in" thing for fansubbing at the moment; several other websites I visit come off the same way. Didn't think GW would take that route, but to each their own I guess. As long as the releases are there, I'll support their effort.
As for the episode: I enjoyed it. Not as much as the previous episodes, but it had it's moments. Fourth planning out his diary with Yuki's and Yuno's crimes was a nice touch. Looks like he's slightly more cunning than I originally gave him credit for. The truce between Ninth and Fourth seemed pointless, especially if it dissolved minutes after she showed up. Unless that was part of his plan. Doesn't seem like he'd want to intentionally put his son in danger though.
I have to say, I was annoyed with the random "comedic" tone towards the end of the episode, after Yuki inadvertently blew-up another part of the floor. It felt out of place.
Looking forward to seeing this wrap up. I want to see the remaining three diary owners.

Ugh. There is no route and there is no plan. The only plan is that we aim to consistently be the best group by having the best releases, but we're going to have fun along the way, too.
It's a pity when 'dowloaders' see one ep and then sum your entire present and future based on that one ep. For the record, we did something similar a season or two ago, and people said the same prophetic and condemning shit then. Maybe the 'downloaders' don't realize how entitled and demanding they come off as.
Anyway, the whole thing was born from the response of the users falsely accusing us of hardencoding mosaic censors and doing things such as dubbing it with fake Murmur's voice, etc. to the episode. The suggestions were so appalling and amusing that we just went with it.

GotWoot is a brand, and that brand has an image which is tied directly to the type and quality of work that it associates with itself and to the people who choose to consume it. And if there's anything we should know about branding it's that negatives far outweigh positives in peoples minds. I think people react so strongly to stuff like OPgate or more legitimate trolling b/c they tend to assume that a fansub group cares about creating quality fansubs more than anything else. When a group demonstrates that it's perfectly fine releasing knowingly poorer quality subs (without any form of acknowledgement of the lower quality) then people tend to feel like they were mislead into placing their trust in the group to provide quality subs.
In the case of Gotwoot and OPChangeGate, it seemed like a lot of people's problem wasn't that the Gotspeed release wasn't perfect, GotWoot subs has clearly indicated that GotSpeed releases are not given the level of attention to quality that GotWoot releases are for the sake of speed, it was the fact that the Gotwoot staff went out of their way to make a GotSpeed release more imperfect than it would have been if they'd just done what they always do for those releases. (In this case I'm define perfection as a release that is as close to the original as possible for a non-Japanese speaker not watching the show in Japan on an HDTV can get).
EDIT: In talking to Sapphi via IRC I was reminded that 'quality' may mean something very different between seasoned fansub creators and seasoned anime consumers. Watchers should tend to value the experience of watching the anime the most while fansubbers might come to value the technical aspects of the art of creating the fansub the most. Such a dichotomy is bound to result in hissy fits from time to time as what is desirable from a watchers perspective may not be what's desirable from a fansubbers perspective, thus DORAMA!
MORE EDIT: Yes fansubbers are often watchers as well, but for the sake of simplicity I'm going out on a limb and assuming that in the long run fansubbing trumps watching and long time subbers will tend to care less about just enjoying a show than then would about things that fansubbers tend to care about but most watcher only types would not notice or would not consider to greatly affect the overall watching experience. Any long time subbers who don't care about the quality of the fansubs they watch that they didn't make please forgive me.

The beginning of Yuki's confession just got old for me. "Yeah yeah.. when was the last time I heard you say that.." was all I could think about. It was so finite this time though, that I can't help but hope that he really does pull through. I'm not at all worried about Yuno pulling a fit because Akise is sending warnings to Yuki. She's too trusting for that bullshit drama card. It's always going to be about Yuki swaying away from Yuno due to other people's words and shit.
(And please, please, PLEASE don't let the trigger be those skulls she's carrying. He's already gotten over that one).
edit: wait.. skulls.. so she didn't completely dispose of those skeletons.. or forgot they existed.

This episode was good. I mainly watch for the hilarious Omake's though.
Best part of the episode was when Yukkii stood around and got caught by the cops! I lol'd.

Yeah.. there was that..
But then Gasai took down a team of SWAT. I lolled harder.

whoo, finally caught up, marathoned from ep 3 to ep 12 in a single day. And I thought this was a 12 ep-show....so now I have to wait with you peasants :P
Anyway, veeery crazy show. A bit too crazy for me, tbh, but mostly because I don´t like that how not a single character can stay consistent in what they do and why they do it. Sure, some will applaud for these shades of grey, but some black and white-scheming is alright, too.
Btw. Yukki´s VA is the same as Renton´s from Eureka Seven, eh? Sounds familiar...and he even looks similar, haha.
Really liked Kurusu-san, slightly crazy, but a smart, thinking type, who even had a noble reason for becoming god. Silliest character is Akise-kun. Yeah, I just don´t like these "young school boy is a master detective"-plots. I´ll read Detective Conan if I want that.
Looking forward to how this is going to end.
I don't like him neither. The thoughts I get when I see him:
"Why is he here?"
"WTF does this have to do with him?"
"What does he want?"
"Where does he get his info anyway.. (Yuno's bodies, for example)"
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Obviously, he´s Kaworu. (Seriously, could the author of this show have been more blatant? lol)
I like how Murmur goes through the lengths of explaining the diary to everyone, but with Yukkii they were just like, "um, who said other people won't get it?"
