Why is this pic here? Because Miyako >>> your waifu.

All right, since some of you might be wondering (I hope so) about whether we’re alive or not, I’ll wrap some things again.

• We’re alive, just don’t have so much time to spend on animu anymore.
• PPD in progress and will be released when it’s done. It isn’t dropped but typesetting actually takes time.
• We’re doing Denpaonna with GotWoot subs and it will be released when the last BD is out + a month or so.
• I’m also doing The Second Best SHAFT Show and The Second Best Eroge-Based Anime Ever and it will be released pretty soon. Probably.
• I will also do The Best SHAFT Show and The Best Eroge-Based Anime Ever when The Second Best is released.
• We found a timer for these SHAFT shows so we don’t need one anymore, thanks.
• We still want a timer for some %random_shows% which no one wants to time (possibly Shana, Taishou Yakyuu Musume and some other project yet to be discovered).
• I haven’t touched Iroha or S;G yet, but will do soon, probably.
• We might or might not do Usagi Drop. If anything isn’t released in a month – it won’t be released at all.
• Most likely I won’t do Penguindrum since I kinda don’t like it lately.
• That wall of torrents on Nyaa was Daiz’s doing. I don’t have access to “Afternoon Naps Empire” account nor do I care.

This is probably all. Do ask if you want to know something, just don’t expect too much of releasing activity here.

EDIT: we’ll most likely release both Great SHAFT Shows together later.

You can’t apply to join ANE… usually.
However, SHAFT dictates its own rules.

One SHAFT show takes too fucking much effort for a single man to handle.
We are encoders, some of us like to typeset, but none of us likes to time and shift shit.

So the QUESTION is… ( ﾟ◡◡ﾟ)
DO YOU HAVE THE GUTS to shift SHAFT subs?!

You gotta be on good terms with Aegisub:

• know what things like scenebleed and subtitle flickering mean;
• know how to use tpp;
• be prepaired to fix some stuff by hands (i.e. “select all -> shift -> apply tpp” won’t work).

You don’t have to be GODLIKE of course – we do help each other (we’ve got tophf for that purpose, who’s like, :clever:), just make sure that you actually love your work and don’t make us teach you basics. You don’t have to be fast, work in a timely manner or time any typesetting either. Something like “1-2 days for a few hundred lines of text” would be OK.

Bug someone with aop (&) status on our IRC channel if you’re interested.
