Tonde Buurin 1v2 released!

A version 2 was released for Tonde Buurin episode 1.  This corrects an encoding error on my part that caused a freeze around the 14:20 mark.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

Edit: The Hi10P version that was initially released had the wrong video stream.  We have pulled that release and replaced it with the correct version.  The CRC of the correct version is "8B6D8362".

Expectations for Tonde Buurin

Tonde Buurin is one of those series where it's rather deceiving at first glance.  It's first impression is one that would probably turn most people away from even watching the series.  However, it's one of the better magical girl series out there, and it was one of the ones that was requested quite a bit.  Those who have watched it all the way knows about the ending, which is a pretty interesting twist considering what happens throughout the series.

This project will be a joint with Stardust Fansubs.  We will be providing mostly translation checking and encoding.  This project is one of two new joint projects where we will be slightly relaxing our policy on softsubs.  The Hi10P encode is softsubbed, while the XviD and the 8-bit h.264 encode is hardsubbed.

There was a question earlier about the licensing status of this series.  As far as I know, this series had a English dub by Saban, but it was not available in the United States, and that might not have been fully completed either.  Therefore, it is reasonably safe for us to do.

(2nd Birthday Celebration) Tonde Buurin Episode 1 released! (Joint with Stardust Fansubs)

As the last thing on our birthday celebration, we would like to proudly announce our new project, Tonde Buurin.  This will be a joint with Stardust Fansubs (http://stardustfansubs.wordpress.com).

In this episode, we introduce Karin, the girl who finds a pig on the street.  This pig is no ordinary pig; he ends up bestowing her with the ability to transform into Buurin, a super pig.  Unfortunately, she was not exactly happy with this ability.

I will have a post with my expectations for this series tomorrow.
