^ oh why? XD i like him~ well, i love every character in oofuri... (but Suyama didnt even appear as much as Nishihiro, a pitty... i think they quite focus on Mihashi, Abe, Tajima, Hanai, Izumi, Sakaeguchi and even Mizutani, lol...)
I think it was great to feel the competition within the team.
And I love Mihashi, he is so keen on baseball XD - a true baseball freak, haha...

Well, I'm awaiting my translator to return from his weekend business trip so he can start. Normally he is back by Monday. However, this week he's due back on Tuesday. Assuming he gets me a script tonight(most likely tomorrow though) we'll have the show up on Friday morning.

We aren't students and most of my folks have to work during the day(except me - retired). Please be patient.

Sigh poor Heibi. Bocca go fuck a duck. Dattebayo are only on episode 3 and you have the nerve?
Release it when you want to Heibi. Impatient fucks should just improve their Japanese, not complain like cuntfucks.

Translator is back and working on the script. He says he'll get it to me by tonight.

Now you know that the complaints Heibi has to deal with are pretty much the same complaints anime companies have to deal with in the states.

Maybe, but there is no real reason why they [foreign from japan anime dubbing/production/subbing companies] should not be half the speed, or more than half the speed, of a fansubbing group like central anime or dattebayo.

*facepalm* Oh here we go with this "speed dubbing" argument.

I highly doubt anything I could ever explain to you matter to you. I do have theories based on resources from certain people and websites as to why most American companies can't easily simulcast a dub or show in subtitles at the same time an anime premieres in Japan. But even if I knew the absolute answer, would you be willing to listen. So there's no point in me explaining.

The only way I think you would be willing to get it is if you actually were in the same shoes as any person in any American company that had to do with subtitling/dubbing anime.

*Also if my post initally sounded more harsh, that was a fault on my part for mistaking you for the guy that said "where the fuck are the subs?" So again, I apologize.

Heibi thanks for the release. =)

Is this the translator you pay money for ?

The episode was decent and I have been thinking about whether to actually start reading the manga because I've become kinda impatient....I want to know whats gonna happen next and I've read up all the chapters that were used up for season 1. So I can catch up and go further in the story pretty quickly. ;) Damn....I've been thinking about it since episode 2 of season 2 because I watched season 1 in one sitting....so the urge wasn't there but I sooooooooooo have it now. =P

Yep, the translator we use for Ookiku we pay. In fact we pay any translator we use.

Really. This is the most adorable team ever. Goofy, heart-warming interactions like the ones between Hanai, Tajima, and Ren are what made me fall in love with the show. Awesome. I loved it.

Good episode as I expected. I love this show.

I like how they show the opponent's fustration that they couldn't advance further for their senpai.

Though, not looking forward for the other team going after Abe there in game.

Fun episode. It's hard not to like this team once you get to know them. Mihashi's at the point where he's using his insecurities/paranoia in a very positive way, challenging himself to continually strengthen his game and maintain his position. I thought he had a great at bat too. He knew exactly what he was doing up there. As for Hanai, the way he overcame his problem was a bit unexpected. Funny to see a bit of Mihashi in him in the way he reacts to positive feedback. Coach was great and accomplished what she wanted to get out of this game against an overmatched team. Further out, I'm looking forward to see what that coach intends to do against Abe (and how Nishiura will deal with it).

I don't mind the Oofuri couple day delay since Central Anime isn't asking me for money. Even then, I think a couple days isn't really terrible.

However, Funi is doing 5 leaves + yojouhan like a couple hours after it is done, so it is possible. Just, funi is a company and they have the resource to pay everyone salaries and can say "you need it done by ___ or you are fired" Plus they get the script.

Expecting fansubs to be like that is silly. I know CA pays their translator but the translator has an actual job.. They don't have to put Oofuri out for us. They are not a company. :< If I go to their website I probably wouldn't be plagued with ads (though I use adblocker)..

Anyways, this was moe moe moe~

It's not that simulcasts are impossible for companies like Funimation, it's just that I don't think those companies have all the money in the world to get the episodes Japanese companies and have enough time to simulcast before they are even air in Japan. Not only that, but when you referred to House of Five Leaves and Tatami Galaxy, they had to make a partnership with Fuji TV probably a while before they even announced it. And with the Japanese, there tends to be some degreee of consulting with fellow businessmen before making the final decision.

I assume fansub groups don't have to deal with that sort of thing, which is probably the biggest difference between an anime company doing simulcasts and a fansub group streaming anime within days. They probably don't need to invest, have business meetings, or go through paperwork.

Such a great episode.
Mihashi's weird reactions get more amusing by the episode. The quick argument between him, Hanai, & Tajima was hilarious. I'm already loving this season more than I did the first.

As expected, this season so far hasn't been disappointing at all. The personalities and interactions between the Nishura team continues to be wonderful as ever and I look forward to seeing more of their goofiness, determination and perseverance. I'm also expecting a hell of a game with the opposing team that coach is leading.

Also I LOL'd hard at Mizutani teasing Mihashi with that popsicle.

Nice to see some great character development in the team! I feel like these are very real situations that often happen on baseball/softball teams...the nostalgia is 1/3 of the reason I watch this show. The other 2/3 is the show's awesomeness, with some Abemiha sprinkled on top.

The next episode should be awesome. I mean, as much of an Abe fangirl I am, I think it will be interesting to see just how Abe responds when a lot of pressure is put on him. We saw it for Mihashi and he worked himself until he was quite literally about to collapse...I wonder if it will happen the same way for Abe? In any case I think it will add a lot more dimension to his character.

Well it's good that Hanai didn't self destruct. I felt relieved after he talked to Mihashi, even though I get impatient with Mihashi's slow speech.

I'm a little worried about the guy who recorded them. That's how much I'm absorbed into the series. :D

Well it looks like Hanai finally found his resolve to fight after speaking to Mihashi.It's really amazing that despite Mihashi's timid nature he's inspiring someone.
Tajima is really protective of Mihashi.It's was funny seeing Mihashi standing up to Tajima like that and after the misunderstanding they just move on.It's always nice just watching these two interact.They really are like siblings with Tajima being the big brother lol.

It seems that the team that Riou's brother coaches for might face them.I would like to see that match especially because they seem formidable.I do wonder how they plan to break down Abe?

nice game !!! gg to the other team they did well.

hanai and mihashi's talk was pretty good, mihashi isn't someone you'd expect to be your (unintentional) problem solver but glad his frustrations are gone. i was happy to see daichi in action but man seeing him fail really did make me sad, hope i can see more of him some other time
