Gyagu Manga Biyori 2 ep 04 released! - [P]ako - 2008-07-02 19:47:40
The unthinkable happened: another release by us. If you are the very few into Gyagu Manga, enjoy this release. If you are not part of that privileged crowd, shut the f*** up Suiton. Just kidding.
We are in dire need of translators. If you think you can help us, please join #ayu-recruits@irc.rizon.net (typo-free irc address) and pester Yoshizumi for a test. He will answer your private messages when he gets to them, so wait for him, just don't pop in there, say "hi" and quit 5 minutes later after writing something witty.
suiton Wow. You guys actually released something else? Nice. And Gragu Manga? That seems like a very unknown and not so popular series. So I wonder why you guys are still doing it.
tyblazitar Awesome! Oh, and could anyone please reseed the first three episodes? No seeders on episodes 1 and 3. :(
Zalev Oh my fucking thank you so much all my dreams are fulfilled
Anonymous come on, the last episodes of Minami-ke please
skyhack Wow! I'd forgotten I had started downloading this! Gyagu is sooo trippy. Thanks!
chanpon Ahh!! You don't know how happy I am to see this. T_T Thank you for putting any of this out.
beavo MEGAS! , thanks for still continuing this series. it is cool and dont let anyone tell you otherwise just becasue the dont understand the humour.
moozooh :D
Love you, Ayu. Love you so much.
Non-e Thanks for the release. Will you be doing the 3rd season too?
JarkaspkesVab Hello
Do your know what is remove worm ?
Slacker Love this show, and you guys are awesome for translating it
Kenny Thank goodness this isn't dropped. Thank you so much for this. ^^
anon thanks for the release! :)
I've uploaded all 4 episodes to rapidshare, so you don't have to rely on the seeder: rapidshare.com/users/9HDU9R
(I hope you don't mind.. however, you can write me an email if you want me to delete it)
luna *squee* thank you so much!
mouikkou Woah, I thought you guys forgot about this series... thanks VERY much for the release!
50119 The ep is released finally, after 2 years =D
What the heck is this? Ikkitousen 36 DD...? errr.. Yes, it's another release by us. I am flabbergasted as many of you. And it appears the sky is holding and hell is hotter than ever thanks to global warming. So, it's not that day yet. What day? Don't ask me, I am rambling. No, I am just making stuff up so the post is longer. Seriously. I should get out of the house.
Anyway, we can only hope we'd be finishing the series before 2009. You hear me? Be-fore 2-0-0-9.
Drax Hey, here's an odd question but i'm throwing it out there. Ayu want any help? and if so, with what? (i already can do basic typesetting, but i'm willing to teach myself enough to help with other positions too.)
skyhack Must've put some WD40 on the gears! We old folks know that you should always have plenty of lubricants around.
Thanks for the release.
The_dark_sage What happen to you guys? Your releases used to be every now n then; I remember that i used to check for new releases on a daily basis, but now i check the site monthly to see if you guys haven't kicked the bucket yet. I have some friends that are translators, if the problem is staff shortage, just say so!!
[P]ako @ Drax and The_dark_sage, in fact we lack of staff. Mainly translators, they are the soul of a fansubbing group. Drax, please join #ayu-recruit@irc.rizon.net and ask Tuvok for the test. The_dark_sage, same for your friends. :)
Drax @[P]ako well....I'm in #ayu-recruit@irc.rizon.net and...i'm the only person in the room. um...so...yea....lol. Still want to join you guys if you have room. My japanese is only soso though, (3rd year college level). I'd probably be more useful with typesetting/encoding or maybe even timing/editing. or i could always try and help with QC.
jakkarth #ayu-recruits, with an s at the end. Pako the typo king?
suiton Heh, so Ayu finally releases something else?
Good Job!
martino @jakkarth: Nothing happens in #recruits so we all just forget the correct titling. :)
50119 hope you guys finish this before the third season gets licensed :D thanks for this :D
Amido Excuse me,when well you release the next episode of Baccano?
And thanks.
martino When a brick will fall on my head.
Shiro Thanks! Can't wait until you guys finish it :D
Minami-ke ep. 12 - [P]ako - 2008-06-14 17:16:50
It's been a while since last time we had released something. So, here you have the penultimate episode of this fine series. Go and grab it while it's still hot. Enjoy!
Expect the last episode to be released sometime around the next time a cat is rolled over in a highway. :)
martino's edit: If you can't wait for us to release Baccano 14, 15 and 16, which by the way may never come since key members just haven't found the time to work on them, just get the other group's releases. The TV stuff being redone for DVD is mainly stuck on me, so have fun waiting. :)
martino's edit2: Maybe not THAT long;
* @[P]ako stabs martino

desu I just dumped my own cat on the highway and barrel rolled over it with my car, where is my next episode?
[P]ako Damn you! Who in his right senses would think an episode of anime is worth the life of a cat?
cyruz Ayu banzainya!
B0taku Do kittens count? they should count. I saw 5 kittens in a box earlier, I think i'll take my wrench with me.. So that's 8-12. YES!
desu Oh, I didn't think that far... I feel horrible now, I've killed something!
Oh well, what's done is done, now where is my next episode?
DaVince BBBBBaccano 14, 15 and 16? Those exist?! Waaaargh, what groups have released these?! Me want! :o
martino Google?
suiton OMG..Am I seeing things? Minami-ke finally got released! NICE!! Thanks so much!!
suiton Oh, and I noticed you guys changed the audio to VORBIS from MP3. Great move! Are you going to redo the other episodes for a batch release?
randall we will not redo the previous eps to VORBIS though. once ep13 is rlsed, we will batch 1-13 of minami-ke
skyhack My God! It's aliiiive!! (Thanks, y'all)
suiton randall...That's great news. I'm glad that you guys are trying to keep consistency. And VORBIS is much better than mp3. I'll be waiting for the batch then. I was getting so upset when trying to dl the torrents for the previous episodes because they just don't seem well seeded. But I'll get that batch torrent you said [Ayu] would do and I'll seed it.
CP DaVince - you can find all subbers for a series on anidb, including how far they are in a series
KH Nice to see you guys releasing something again, thanks for another great episode.
By the way, is it just me or the video is actually lagging...
arkfinder I'll wait. I'll definitely wait for 'Baccano!' DVD release and eps 14,15,16. It's worth it. I've watched some other groups' releases and so far [Ayu]'s the best in translation, grammar, etc. I just hope those episodes come. Thanks guys for your very nice work, I'm happy that your back on track. More power...
r0b3rt I have seen the light! The savior is true and real!
Amido By the way
what is the defense between Baccano the DVD and the TV ?
cos I think I'll watch it
r0b3rt By the way, desu, you totally have to teach me how to barrel roll my car. At least under safe circumstances...I tried it once, and I think eight or nine people might've died.
suiton Amido...There is better audio & video (duh) and some scenes were uncensored a bit here and there. And I believe some scenes were re-animated to look better. Just get the DVD releases as they're the "definitive" version.
suiton [Ayu]...I've kinda decided not to keep up with Miniami-ke series anymore. I mean the series was ok, but you guys took too long and I've been watching a lot of other series. On top of that, you guys are supposedly leaning towards not doing Okawari and I would've preferred it. So yea. Thanks anyway.
desu It's your loss suiton, not ours.
r0b3rt, thats how you do it. Doing it without sacrifices is like not doing it at all.
DesoNoto Thanks for posting such a useless comment, suiton. ;) I wonder how many people actually care that you're not going to get their releases anymore, even though you probably still will when they release it... >_> Anyway, thanks for the new Minami-Ke episode. :P
Hellhounds On the many comments i think a lot people is happy with this release
theknife suiton...I've kinda decided not to care about what you say anymore. I mean your opinions were ok, but you were too stupid and I've been reading the opinions of a lot of other leechers. On top of that, you are supposedly leaning towards not shutting up and I would've preferred it. So yea. Thanks anyway.
jongu Where is my ep13. I want MOAR~ can I have sauce. And suiton, plz gtfo do not want to witness n00bness in pro comment areas.
Sin no Aria I think that everyone except maybe Suiton and a few are excited that there is now a new release! So whose birthday was it?
psyren Yay, one less mindless leecher's whinging to complain with. Now that he's gone, we are 5 eps into Okawari (I'm editing ep 4 right now).
We will release ep 13 of the first series when it's done, but before we release the batch, I have some minor corrections I'd like to make to the previous episodes, so perhaps stay tuned a little longer.
50119 Yay! xD
suiton psyren...What type of "corrections" are you talking about? Were there any typos or did was there a codec issue?
DesoNoto Hey suiton, you're back! <_<
theknife Guess you'll have to rewatch every episode and see!
IasasaI This post has made me see stars >.< Well, at least one was named Minami -_-`
suiton I was never "gone" per say. I just didn't feel like posting. Anyway, I guess I'll download the full batch torrent of Minami-ke whenever it's out.
desu Completely changed opinion is completely changed
r0b3rt Hey guys, I'm back as well! ...whaddya mean nobody missed me?
desu Wait, you left? And when in where did you tell us you did?
Anonymous Get back to work you niggers.
suiton @desu...DesoNoto suggested that I left. I never did though. I just never posted in here for a while because I was busy posting elsewhere, watching other series, reading manga, eating, hanging out with family, hanging out with friends, etc.
DesoNoto @suiton
I think he was talking about r0b3rt... Anyway, you have friends?! Impossible! :D
r0b3rt I never said I left...I thought you guys would notice. :'( Some friends I have, huh?
Bored... v2 - psych - 2008-06-09 11:32:24
Well, someone asked for another post, so here's another post.
Enjoy.
...
In all seriousness, we have no idea what's happened to our translator for Minami-ke. At this rate, I'll have to do the guessla- I mean translations for eps 4 onwards of Okawari. Or rather, it'll be credited like this:
Inugami Yoshi can't do maths right. He'll be getting pi=2h wrong.
c45j just take some other group's subs.
suiton Is that why Minami-ke hasn't been released in a while. Eh. I hope you guys can find a translator willing to work on Minami-ke and Minami-ke Okawari.
Virtual_ManPL @ c45j - NO !!!
We want high quality AYU SUBS !!! xD
cyruz Or save some time and prepare for other things, Okawari isn't worth subbing.
martino Ke is done, just ironing out last things. Okawari's the problem.
*has suggested not doing it to the team xD
IasasaI Well, as much as I enjoyed Minami-ke, I couldn't sit aound and wait for Ayu >.< That being said, I AM still waiting for Ayu's version; quality is quality after all. Packrats have it rough in the digital world -_-` Until the the real world stops being a nuisance and intruding into Ayu's lifeforce, I'll just sit here and, er, i know it was something good, what was it again...? Well, since Plan A is lost, it's plan B....I'll sit here and yell, "Ganbaro yo!"
Sin no Aria If only it was legal for us to straight out pay them to do this >< . Perhaps hire them to do other work and not care if they do the other work? >< (don't shoot me >< it was a joke! a joke!) @c45j-I don't even want to imagine that even as a joke.
suiton @martino
Okawari. Please go ahead and do it. It's the next Minami-ke and I think the last one. It's only 13 episodes and you guys do an excellent job with your releases.
r0b3rt *on the edge of the computer chair seat*
skyhack Sin no Aria...
That was classic!!
suiton Sin no Aria...You know you can donate? That's like the closest you'll get to what you're wondering about. Donate lotz and lotz of munnyz to them to cover costs for maintaining the tracker, servers, or whatever it is that they need these donations for.
Anonymus Bosch @suiton: Please explain in less than 20 words why we should donate even ONE CENT -let alone 'lotz and lotz of munnyz'- after they released nothing at all for 2 months. And turning the news page into the bazillionth unfunny blog on teh intarbutt. I've seen other groups declared dead after shorter periods of inactivity.
jongu I propose:
GL jongu: -40%
TLC Yoshi: infinite
bored - dowhatnow - 2008-05-14 02:03:25
The hell else am I supposed to do? It's midnight where I live, there's literally nothing else to do. I'm blogging here. Why? Well, aside from randall being a slave driver, I'm bored.
Therefore, I reach out to those of you that reply to entertain me.
jakkarth Deleted your comments, lame leechers! Clearly from the poll you all want to watch Ayu subs of DBZ and not read the crappy spam comments!
Drax holy shiz batman! the comments got reset!
suiton Thank you [Ayu] staff for clearing up the comments. There were too many obvious spam posts.
>_>
Anyway, I think it's about time that [Ayu] makes a post pertinent to the projects?
jakkarth Now now, anyone interested in finding out when the next episode of one of our series is going to be released need look no further than the Release Schedule option at the top of this site. The staff of Ayu thanks you for your patience during this difficult time.
suiton How about putting up a spam protection thing for the comments so that you need to register first before being able to post comments?
skyhack I don't think the spam could be helped since dowhatnow asked,"Therefore, I reach out to those of you that reply to entertain me.plz?"
He's probably tired of watching "Scrubs" reruns.
Seriously, I'd like to see this group back at it so I can finis Minami-ke and HiguKai.
Hellhounds I have a better idea: that everybody include me shut our trap and let the ayu staff do their work.
cyruz Aw, don't delete all the comments. There were even a few good and serious ones. Guess further commenting is useless in that case. Keep up the good work with the subs.
r0b3rt Hey, wait, what now? Where did all the comedy go? :/
Hellhounds Deleted because of there was to many comments.
suiton How about at least a new post. This post was made on 05/14/2009, and it's now 06/08/2008. It has almost been a full month.
r0b3rt But...but...:( The comedy...and headaches...and 4chan memes...and Candlejack...and
My gawd!!! - randall - 2008-05-12 04:15:28
Firstly, thank you Pioszak for donating to us.
Secondly, I got full marks for one of my school assignment :D :D
DaVince Methinks you should set some news post categories so people can choose to browse through only "Hi im talking lol" posts or only through "these are released!" posts if they like...
Wapanese Students Sux Welcome to the internet, fag.
boondoggler #3 can't be ALL bad...
Sin no Aria ... Third one can be fun... depending on why. I remember the old days when there were all-night anime and gaming parties. I barely slept ><.
Creaccespar Hi.
Very interesting site!
Thanks!
DaVince Wapanese Students Sux: lolwut
r0b3rt I passed my driver's license test!
suiton @ randall
Third one can be cool. Heh.
@Sin no Aria
I can never imagine myself playing video games and watching anime all through the night.
@r0b3rt
Congratz! But too bad it's only a provisional driver's license. Try not to get into any accidents or tickets...well at least until you get the "full" driver's license.
r0b3rt Oh, I live in Sweden. Hillbilly laws are in charge here. :p
Ferrelas Same rules apply in sweden, if you get cought driving improperly, within the first few years they will still spank you and take the licence away. Sweden, land of the free eh? :P
Teaching is...... - psych - 2008-05-10 23:24:03
I just finished my first week of teaching prac. The whole week was spent teaching primary school kids music.
I took a year 1 class the other day, and when I said 'form a circle', one girl came up and attached herself to my leg. I had to tell her 'no, no, we don't need to hug to form a circle, just make a circle'.
Toyu-chama My girlfriend is... but I doubt she has time to help y'all =/
Sin no Aria I'm not a "Pro" in C++. However, I do know a bit (I'm more used to basic and I still mess up and use basic commands instead of C++ commands ><)
Sin no Aria Oops... my bad ><

martino Please don't drag that ret***** stuff into here. Thank you.
Anonymous Congratulations on reaching your goal. Now where are mah subs?!!!
Oh, in case you didn't know, Baccano 15 is out.
Hint hint...
ToxicCookie Anonymous, kindly get stuffed, things are released when they're done, I'm sure the members of this groups have stated that so many times that they mumble it in their sleep.
r0b3rt Huh, WTF?
Qwerty Can I have my higurashi now plox?
Baccano 07 DVD released! - randall - 2008-04-15 14:23:39
Moar Baccano in DVD versions! ^_^
Hopefully Baccano 08 DVD will be ready soon :D
By the way, thanks to Matthew, Brian, Chris and Joshua who chipped in and sent the donation bar to 82% !!! It has been many months since we last saw an almost full orange bar.
Kudos to all Ayu fans who supported us too!
We are looking for Japanese translators and typesetters. Please help us to spread the word around or recommend to us if you know of any. Either contact us through the contact form or hop on to #Ayu-Recruits and msg one of the OPs there.
someguy I really would love to help with some translation or something else, but i fear i cant help you with it.
I hope i can support you people with dl and watching and saying i enjoyed it very much. Thanks for all your hard work for bringing us ungratefully people this.
Mogambo Jah bless - u guys did such a nice job on Baccano! in the 1st place and the dvd eps are even sweeter. Thank you, since this series is possibly even better than Death Note (and definitely funnier!)
cyruz Can't donate, I'm almost in the red this month. >_> Glad there are some others who can though. Thanks for the Baccano! release. :D
DaVince Baccano! Yesss! :)
Oh yeah, congratulations on the almost full donations bar!
JokesFunnn How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?
His lips are moving.
Avalanche Since you folks are doing the DVD, does this mean that you'll also release the 3 episode specials? *hopeful*
martino If you can read and scroll down with your mouse/keyboard then you should know the answer already. And I won't be repeating myself.
CP Thanks, guys - grateful as always! Donations will come now & then...
Avalanche Ahh.. I saw that now. Thanks for doing them then! ^_^
Minami-ke ep 11 out - [P]ako - 2008-04-13 22:43:34
Two episodes left, the next one should be ready in 2 or 3 days. Just don't hold your breath for it.
suiton OMG. Do you guys play in the "in b4 suiton" thing like at the [Menclave] site?!
>_>
Anyway, great job releasing Minami-ke 11! I wasn't expecting it!
Marek Thank you!
And suiton - we're everywhere! :P
randall We need TRANSLATORS AND TYPESETTERS!!!!!!!!!
ToxicCookie Wow, that last post=Random Word Generator, or Babelfish translator.XD
Thanks to Ayu for sticking with this series, it's my favorite of last season. It's too bad I can't translate or typeset since I'd love to help out, keep up the good work.
r0b3rt "Cannot render the file"! Is it me or my comp who's faulty somehow? :< You know anything about it, or should I just do a redownload?
r0b3rt Oh, wait, I know what's wrong now. My mistake, sorry!
April 2008! - randall - 2008-04-04 19:43:50
It's the month of April 2008!
That marks our 4th year in fansubbing! ^_^
Donation bar is updated to April.
Edit: Please do not donate any amount below $1, as PayPal charges a fee for each donation. Someone just donated $0.28 and PayPal eats up every single bit of that $0.28 as the fees :(
Edit: Thank you Robin for the donation. Everyone thank him now. We are still a little far from our target though.
suiton Here's to another great year of fansubs by you guys!
eMDee congratulations on 4 years! amazing how anime has changed in that time, eh?
50119 Congratulations!
r0b3rt *Clappy-clappy hands*
KinzMo Congratulations on your fourth year fan subbing!
laharl congratulations!!!
DaVince 4 years, and subbed this much? You guys really ARE awesome! Congraturations!
Loliko *donates 10 yen*
mkvfreak Wow,'s true that Ayu has been around for 4 years. That was when ayu actually subbed 1 of my favourite series, Hani Hani: Operation Sanctuary. I still liked that anime very much. Congratulations for the 4th aniversary.
thezzbiszz Thanks Robin for your donation and Ayu for your hardwork after 4 years fansubbing
Toyu-chama I say it's not laziness! However, I do feel sluggish. Kinda hungry too. Ah well, back to work o.o;
PEM poor toyu :(
cyruz Doesn't seem like I can donate this month. But please try to keep your hard work up, guys!
50119 Nice, I've been waiting for this, the food is better when you're hungry ^^. Ayu's releases are worth waiting for, so just continue your laziness we leechers won't mind.
Gothiclass Yay, been waiting for these!! keep up the great work, if you were wondering who the second person to donate that was me (Fraser)
m/ ^-^ m/
arcanes Awesome! thanks for the release guys.
Marek Thank you! :)
DaVince Okay then, I donated a bit. Keep it up! :)
DesoNoto Thanks for the new episodes! :D
randall Thank you Vaccaro and Beers for donating :D
eMDee I dropped 18 monies for ya guys. Keep up the good work! ABSOLUTELY worth the wait :)
50119 uhm... was it my eye or did you have a new typesetter for these eps?
randall Thank you eMDee :D
r0b3rt Two episodes! URESHIIIIII!!! *squeals like a little J-fangirl* Really glad you're still on track, Ayu team.
goomuloo I'm Paul from Canada, a retired Author. I've only been at this about 4
months now, and I've hit the ground running. I'm only really getting around
to visiting all the forums now. I still have a lot to learn but I'm getting
there.
All the best,
Paul
laharl As usual, we are still looking for new staff. what are you needing?
randall @goomuloo: Welcome to Ayu, Paul :D
@laharl: Japanese translators definitely, website GFX designer and AFX/TSer
Jourgenz It's test.
I could't post a message...
laharl I might be able to do the Japanese translator part. I have been studying Japanese for about 3 or 4 years. I can read it well but I can't speak it to well. When I watch anime I fell like I can only get only around 80% of what they say. so I don't know if you want my help. I am trying to get better.
randall @laharl: sure, you can actually improve your Japanese by working with one of our translators as well. If you're interested, do hop on to #Ayu-Recruits @ irc.rizon.net and poke YoshiZumi
suiton Thanks so much for Minami-ke!
Baccano! 06 DVD - [P]ako - 2008-03-25 23:09:55
Here you have more Baccano! while we hunt down Orochitux. He has some QCs to do before we could release more stuff.
And also we need more staff. If you think you can help, please, join #ayu-recruits@irc.rizon.net and ask an OP.
Moi.
martino's edit: OK, so the corrected version is out, where the CRC should be 88AC6711. If you have downloaded the corrupt file, then you can just torrent the new one over it and let it overwrite the corrupted blocks, thus saving you from having to download those 233MB again.
Also for those wondering, 14 is being worked on, and will be released when it is ready. Therefore stop whining. Thanks.
thezzbiszz What is "14"? I can't get it...Btw, I'm still download your Baccano, keep up your good work :D/
CP 14 = a special of some kind I think - newly aired.
Thanks for the up!
Susan "14" is actually the first episode on an OVA, isn't it? Or extra episodes only released to DVD.
Thanks for the update! I was pretty sure that you guys were working on it, but it's nice to know for sure. =D Take your time! It'd be cool, even, if you guys released it after you finished the DVD eps.
DesoNoto Thanks for another episode. Maybe I should watch this since mostly everyone says it's amazing. :P
Arc Hmm, what kind of recruits are you looking for? Just translators and typesetters or other things?
DarkStar episode 14 is the ova released straight onto dvd and continuing the story i believe. probably have to wait for the other 2 to be released before they can start working on them tho
Yes. You're not seeing stars. Here's episode ten of Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny.
Kudos to those who waited for us or who are going to archive our copy :D
-Updated donation bar to reflect March. Thanks to Aguayo for being the first donor in March. But today is 13 March :(
Darc woot 1st comment!!!!!!! any way thanx for the release great work eh> a question can people seed the previous eps to ikkitousen DD >.< having a hard time getten them thanx
OEE Thanks.
thezzbiszz Thanks, although the show is finish long ago but I still want your release :)
suiton Great to see that you guys are being more active with releases.
-- suiton
LK Just wanted to say thanks for the Rec fansub! :D
suiton Rec?
That was a long time ago. A very long time.
O_O
randall Thank you Fraser for donating.
Philo Why do they keep targeting anime sites?
Anyway good thing Ayu is up and running again.
ToTaFTW I bet those ppl that voted for "Not at all" must be guys :o
fulgore i have a question ,the version of ikkitousen dd that u guys are subbing is the tv ver. or the dvd ver.? just wondering...nice to see u guys up again and keep up the great work u guys do =).
[P]ako It's the TeeVee version. We won't be doing the DeeVeeDee rips of it because it will mean more delays (like there are not enough delays already).
Baccano! DVD Episode 05 - randall - 2008-03-12 14:25:55
Another release. Bacano DVD 05. Grab them from the usual places.
We are also recruiting for the following positions:

If you are keen, kindly proceed to #Ayu-Recruits @ irc.rizon.net for more details. Thanks.
joe fuck yes, your the best group ever!

CP He, thanks! I'm holding back on the series until you've released all in DVD; then I'll have a frenzy ;-)
anon#2 Yes, please tell me Episode 14 is in the plans. Pretty, pretty please.
Byayoi Please, please, tell us that you'll listen to anon#2, and that you'll sub episode 14.
Pretty please with sugar on top.

on a side note, great work on baccano, ayu
eagerly waiting for episodes 14 to 16
Anonymous Glad to see you guys back in action. And thanks for the ep.5 release. Been looking forward to it.
Now get to work on ep. 14 you lazy bums!
DesoNoto Since I'm only going to watch the DVD releases, this is great. Keep up the awesome work! ;D
Daigelmir umm ... what's the difference between the dvd ver and the tv ver again??
VAXVA it should be faster man, i thought DVD5 is Volume5... which contains ep14... who know it only episode 5.... eagerly waiting for that episode 14, keep it up... just 1 days enough to sync those tvrip episode subtitle to dvd.. so please jump work to ep14, and work on ep14 onegai~
Juggen @Ayu
Thx for more DVDs. Baccano was awesome.
@Rest
GTFO, u ungrateful bastards.
Maybe they want to finish their DVD-releases in order.
Anyways, it's up to them and not u what they will and won't do...
anon suck up to them... good job
you won 1 free internets
NOW GO SUCK MORE!
Juggen Not really, I'm just tired of reading whining all the time from people with nothing better to do with their pathetic lifes.
kthxbye
DesoNoto @Juggen
Ditto. Those people make me sick. :(
martino 14 will be released when it is done. Go read the Release Schedule to kill some time until then... And don't tell us what to give priority, and how long it takes us to do something, mainly if you know jack about fansubbing.
jigsawdid hi ^__^ i'm currently following your baccano DVD releases and was wondering what font did you use on 'ayu presents baccano'. i've tried to search it but couldn't find anything related to it. thansk for all your ard work producing these pearls ^__^
martino You won't find that font anywhere, unless our typesetter who created it decides to publish it.
jigsawdid well, thanks anyway ^_^ at least i won't be spending any more time looking for it. keep up the good work ^_^
DaVince Baccano! is awesome. Keep up the good work, folks! Can't wait for the next release. :)
We are alive yet again ^_^ - randall - 2008-03-03 07:42:28
Server problems after problems. Enough said. Here's Minami-ke 08.
Grab torrents from torrents page or hop on to our IRC channel to grab it from XDCC bots.
Our donation bar reads February with 25.16% but it is March now. ~_~
psych The rest of the series is pretty much done. We're just waiting on our typesetter, who is quite busy at the moment.
Marek Yay, finally more Minami-ke! :)
PEM i'm happy to see you guys are still alive.
joe awesome, great work guys!
ToxicCookie God, thy name is Ayu, thanks again team!
DesoNoto Thanks for yet another episode. :P
KH Another awesome work from Ayu, thank you. Try not to ruin everyone's mood but I think you guys missed one simple line around 21:18... Other than that, you guys are the greatest. Keep it up, Ayu!
Comoje Thanks Ayu, nice job!
psych KH: the line should be 'Everyone...'.
r0b3rt It lives, and it delivers! We truly are not worthy. Thanks much, Ayu!
Sin no Aria ... 25.16.. percent? Did the bar not update or did you guys really not get donations? 0_o
randall The donation bar is updated to date.
Skittles so....what happened to Votoms?
Sin no Aria 0_o If that is up to date... 0_o ... You guys didn't get any donations? 0_o .
[P]ako @Skittles, no translator == no subtitles. He just went missing and when his nick registration dropped, we decided to cancel the project. Sorry. Shit happens.
suiton Cancel the project? What project are you talking about??
Toyu-chama @suiton
[P]ako is talking about Votoms OVA.
suiton Well that's a sigh of relief. I was thinking that maybe "that" series was Minami-ke or Minami-ke Okawari.
Anyway, keep up the great work and thanks (again) for Minami-ke Episode 08.
suiton If I have extra money (even a few dollars), I will donate to you guys!
=)
Sin no Aria I'm sure we'd all donate if we had money >< Is anonymous up now? Banks are closed on weekends, but still ><
randall just leave a msg in the comments section if u wish to remain anonymous.
propertyarchives Hi
I am a new member here. I am from the US and am 25 years old. I am here to
share my experiences and gain from your expertise.
Kai I didn't realize the one missing line when I first watched it as it was totally insignificant, but since it was mentioned I wanted to go add it myself. I then saw in aegis in the line before that it says in comments mode "***MISSING LINE: 'Everyone....' COMES AFTER THIS***". :OOO
sehiara Hi, I am a newbie to this community and I am John from US by the way and
looking forward to meeting everyone!
Revival from the dead! - randall - 2008-02-21 01:29:39
We revived! Server-wise. Why it took so long? Simply because there are useless techs who ate money from us but didn't know how to get things fixed. Not one, not two, many techs/companies -_- Waste of money seriously. Sigh
Anyway, things should be up as normal as it can be.
Torrents and the tracker are working as usual, so just run your torrent again to get it working.
While the server was down, all our fansub work was put on halt as well, so now we shall get back on our foot again, give us some time, it's a busy period for most of us now.
Sin no Aria At least it is back now. Still, it was surprising to see it down again. And I saw a Fedora Core page instead of Ayu-Anime earlier 0_o . Does Ayu use a linux server? Usually linux servers are good... then again... garbage in, garbage out...
Marek Welcome back! Don't worry, we can wait, otherwise we wouldn't be here. Your quality is worth it!
HentaiMaster Most of the stuff are symlinked from the old installation including the fedora error page. Screw fedora. The machine is no longer running FC.
cyruz Keep it up guys! It wouldn't be the same without you.
CP Hey, I was worried you quit! Glad you're alive...
PEM hooray.
Virtual_ManPL I was worried too! But good that You come back to live ;)
Philo Sorry to hear youre having problems, can we get a status on your current works?
thezzbiszz Yahoo!!! you are back, that's a great news
50119 glad to hear that, ayu's my fav group ^^
firecat waai, ayu <3
randall Status on our work. Sure, cuz we just lost stuff on our fansub ftp. So, we need to get people to upload raws/scripts again. More delays :(
Virtual_ManPL But glad that AYU-Team is alive ;)
JRL Will you be doing the Baccano DVD episodes?
martino As long as I don't drop dead and kami gets his ass to work, yes.
Mute Woot!
glad u guys are back!
i was beginning to wonder..
Darc wellcome back to the living i missed you all
joe awesome, you guys are alive and kicking. Ill wait forever for your realeases.
But some higurashi dvds would still be awesome.
noth Welcome back
Any chances for some Gayagu Manga Biyori 2, since 3rd season is about to begin?
Maro Welcome back! I've been wondering if you will release the rest of Higurashi 2. Or are there still no raws available?
[P]ako Re: Higurashi 2 DVDs, we will release more of them. Edge needs to get his arse in gear. Also he is about to start uni soon.
Re: Gyagu Manga... well, YoshiZumi is very special about it. He knows he ought to finish it.
IasasaI D'oh! Ayu has died! Long live Ayu! [or words to that effect] Without any pressure, keep up the good work!
Skittles shouldn't you finish the season before releasing the dvds?
[P]ako @Skittles, uh, we were *like* caught by the DVD releases (Vol 6 eps. 11-12 was released a week ago). So, it's kind of pointless to keep doing the TV version, we are switching to DVD.
joe wow, never thought you would really answer my question, i hope i was not annoying you with it. dont wanne bitch or something. Thanks for the status info. Well dvds are superior to tv versions, so its only natural.
you guys are the best lol
Bob790 Good to have you back among the living.
Lenkapuppia Hello , im new here, my name is Lenkaa , i have been reading your site for long

Minami-ke 7 - jongu - 2008-01-24 00:11:11
And who says we are not releasing! First one after the New Year break!
Zan Yay!! I love the quality and the greater picture clarity is definitely worth the wait.
ToxicCookie Win, thanks guys, your work is always worth the wait.
Comoje I agree with Zan and ToxicCookie, thanks Ayu!
Marek Yay, thank you! :)
Mogambo It has to be said... Minami-ke requires a lighter touch than most fansubbers are capable of. Thanks Ayu!
Yan Cool. A big thanks to you guys!!!
Santa Thanks for the release.
Bero Thud Waaaay better than ... anyone else.
guardian Same as Zan. Didn't even think of watching any of the other groups releases. Will wait till you guys release it
WillTRiker Thanks for the release from me as well.
Question if I may. I just noticed (can't believe I missed it) that there is a kind of 2nd season of Minami-ke called Minami-ke Okawari. Any chance you'll be doing that one also?
r0b3rt Quite muchly appreciated.
suiton Watched Episode 07 a few times today!
+)
DesoNoto Is this for real. I'm dreaming! Thanks so much!
Toyu-chama @WillTRiker Okawari will be delayed until season 1 is finished. As far as I can tell, Okawari will also become part of the Ayu projects. We are doing the best we can to give the Ayu goodness to enjoy with your family and friends. Enjoy Ep 7 ^^
Darc ty for the release of minami ke guys great work keep it up
Sovran Great release as always, Ayu the BEST! ^_^
WillTRiker Woot!, that's good to hear Toyu-chama and ofcourse I understand that you're finishing up season 1 first. I'll be keeping an eye on you guys.
suiton Oh, and was that poll question even necessary?
Come on, [Ayu]. I'm sure you guys are fully aware of how many "loyals" fans out there are waiting for more Minami-ke goodness from you guys.
=)
Virtual_ManPL Thx AYU TEAM !!!
Always the best quality !!!
I'm, waiting for your releasing Okawari too xD
dagh When it comes to Ayu, it's worth the wait, even if other groups starts to release DVD versions. Ayu beats that quality with normal raws anyway XD
Localhost Good stuff. High quality translation and video. Much better then some groups who like to purposely mistranslate for "lulz"
mousse Très bien!! ^^
Nick Much thanks. As others have stated, I am very grateful you guys are doing high quality fansubs and not the goofy 4chan/wapanese/kiddie job a certain other group did on this series.
Philo lol Nick, "4chan/wapanese/kiddie job" that was awesome. The voiceover on the last episode took the cake, it ruined the whole episode for me. AYU is superior in many ways! thanks AYU!
Huhu Philo, are you honestly upset with a dub over the warning message at the start? If you are LOL
ToxicCookie He must have thought it was a really important part of the show.XD Ayako is really not all that bad, they're alot better then some groups out there, not this one, but hell, who is?
Philo It´s not that i got upset, it just sucked really, the subbing was great but i couldn't get that voice out of my head, i wanted to punch pillow covers filled with bunnies.
Nick Agreed with Philo. Anyone who ends a comment with 'If you are LOL' strikes me as the immature type of person that would enjoy that sort of shit to begin with. While Ayako did do an overall good job, its also very obvious that their subbing is not very literal at all times, where as Ayu has done a very good job in that respect. Personally, I could live with the retarded fake soft subs on the first N episodes, but actually modifying the the audio track? And I believe those episodes in which they did had over all slightly lower quality audio as it was rencoded. (Just slightly less dynamic range)
Philo Temper with the Audio!? that should be a huge taboo for fansubbers. Ayako does some goofy stuff and most of them are kind of funny, and a lot of them are inside jokes, theres nothing wrong with that, but tempering with the content such as Audio, thats just wrong, i know that the opening is the same in all of the episodes, and that it really doesnt matter, but its still part of the episode. Its as if, i were a fansuber and i sing the opening change the audio track and add my voice during the opening, it would not be funny but it would ruin it for you, plus i sing pretty bad, it would be disastrous. anyway, were getting off-topic, Ayu thanks for minami-ke in adult quality.
Toyu-chama Ooooh Adult quality. That sounds kinda naughty~ :3
Fukt Logik Man, all they did was dub over the opening warning to stay three meters from the T.V, it's not like they did something to the actual episode, if you didn't understand the message the first 11 times, then you are beyond help. But yeah, I found the dub messages from the final two eps less than funny, however the previous 10 mistranslations of the warning were epically funny.

Bacano! ep 04 DVD - [P]ako - 2008-01-19 16:09:24
I know things are going slow on our end, some members of our staff are on vacations, for example. But we are working. All of you know what Baccano is about, so there is no reason for me say anything about this episode (like I had done that with any series). So...
CP Thanks guys, saving these for a back to back watch ;-)
DesoNoto Yay, I'll archive these. I think I should finally start to watch this because I've heard so much good stuff about it. Thanks so much and hope everyone who is on vacation is having a good time! :D
Xiayohen Just to let you guys know there are some leechers, like me, who truly appreciate what you guys do for us by subbing these animations with high quality. Many thanks!
Thorn nice release guys keep up the good work =/ hope you have a productive year
cyruz Yay, time to rewatch. Thanks a lot for the release!
psych ... and I'm back. I've been home less than 24 hours, but I'm getting stuck into Minami-ke right now.
For those wondering, Okawari is well in the works, with TLs for the first ep done and the 2nd in progress.
Virtual_ManPL Thx4this, AYU TEAM !!!
@psych: Many ppl waiting for Minami-ke Okawari ;)
ToxicCookie Please disregard the idiotic comment, MOST of us are very grateful for what you do, and I for one don't care how you go about it, or how long it takes. Thanks for your continued hard work.
r0b3rt ...You can't finish something before starting it. That's illogical. :/
Boomy @rob3rt finish the first season before starting the second one
[P]ako @Boomy, the translator is just translating the second season. He's done with S1... there is nothing wrong with getting some work done, am I right?
thezzbiszz Yeah!!! That mean all 13 Eps in SS1 already translated and now waiting to encode and typesetting...But we have to wait right?
r0b3rt I knew what you meant. I just enjoy being difficult. ;p
[5]0119 Good to hear the news. It's worth waiting for quality releases so just take you time.
R Are you guys planning on releasing subs of the Baccano! DVD Special episodes as well??
Minami-ke 6 - psych - 2008-01-05 06:12:48
After much, much, much delay, we bring you Minami-ke ep 6. I can't remember what it's about (that's an indication of how long ago I worked on it <__< )
2 more episodes should follow, but for eps 9 onwards, you guys will need to wait until the 21st of January, the day after I get home from holiday =D
mousse *WAI WAI*
I was so hoping you guys would finish this project, thank you!! <3
r0b3rt Yippee! Thank goodness I didn't have to turn to Ayako to get this series...
cyruz Awesome, thanks for your hard work!
B-Kun Alright! I though that I would have to go Ayako to get the rest of this series! Thanks!
Macca I too am relieved I don't have to turn to Ayako for this.
Appreciate the effort, two more episodes before your return on the 21st should be perfectly fine...
One question though:
I'm guessing you won't start with the other version of Minami-ke until you finished this one, or am I wrong?
psych We COULD get started on it, but it's unlikely that we'd release any episodes of Okawari before this series is done.
Kai that's coo
i wouldn't want to watch the 2nd season before finishing the first anyway.
suiton Hey! Thanks!!
This was unexpected considering how long it has been. But I'm glad you guys released it! Thanks so much! Keep up the great work, and of course, I will seed the file for a while.
.tomi Why was the website down?~~
Santa Way to go, Ayu! Thanks for the release.
desu Okawari isnt the 2nd season right? It's just another version, right? That's what I heard anyway...
suiton Minami-ke: Okawari is a retake on the Minami-ke anime series.
suiton * Sorry for the double post. No edit button here.
"2 more episodes should follow, but for eps 9 onwards, you guys will need to wait until the 21st of January, the day after I get home from holiday =D"
Good to hear that 2 more episodes will be flying in soon, but bad news that 9~13 will need more waiting
T_T
I don't mind though. [Ayu] does the best job out of the groups doing/did this series.
Darc thats because [Ayu] are pros have a awsome holliday!!!!!!!! ty for the release!!!!
fraubau definitely worth the wait.thanks for this!
suiton Wow! I just saw the RAW episode 01 for Minami-ke Okawari and I have to say that it looks promising. The animation looks better, the music different but I think I'll like it, and the ecchi was awesome...it's all over the place!
It just makes me that much more anxious to see 7+ for Minami-ke and then Minami-ke Okawari.
=)
[P]ako @ .tomi, some weird stuff between the onboard RAID controller and the OS. Oh, and some dead drive and a DOA replacement. :x
Marek Thank you! :)
[5]0119 Thanks, and have a great holiday!
suiton Uh oh...Advertisements/spam??
Sin no Aria Why did someone post an ad here? -_-
[P]ako The spam is gone. Let's go back to the anime.
suiton Nice one [P]ako!
=)
antigod amazing serie you all just gotta see it!!! i saw it all the way to the last eppisode and i loved it!!!
Teveburge I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I need some feedback. Do you think extended auto warranties a good deal?
Thanks in advance for your input.
ToxicCookie Wow, random comment is random, seek advice elsewhere this is where we stroke Ayu's ego by telling them how great they are, which is entirely true.
Thanks for the subs Ayu, great as always, did I mention great?
Skittles i luzled because this anime is already in it's second season
psych I 'luzled' because someone fails at using the English language and believes that Okawari is a second season.
Anon looking forward to your releases, the Ayako subs are full of mistakes >_>
