"But I don't want to kill the kitty..."
"I, Lelouch vi Britannia, command you! Kill the kitty!"
Huh, Monday already? Anyway, congrats to rauj13, our week 4 winner!
So, what is in store for this week? Well, that's what we are here for!
With Black Lagoon on hold while we wait for new raws, I've been testing some BD encoding of my own for Zeta Gundam. I'm not starting it until 08th MS Team is done, but I just thought I'd mention it.
In new releases this week, I'll be trying for 3 episodes of 2nd GIG, and two episodes of 08th MS Team. I still need to encode the next few 08th MS Team episodes, so those might not be coming until later this week.
Looking ahead to some upcoming releases, we are inching closer to the (hopeful) release of Code Geass R2's final volume and the first volume of Gundam 00 Season 2. I don't want to jinx it, but so far, I haven't seen any indications of a delay for either one. The release plans for those will be finishing off Geass first, followed by starting 00 Season 2.
So, this week, the caption contest is going to take on a little twist. This week, we are going to try a photoshop contest. Instead of being constrained to a single image to caption, this time, you'll be able to use anything you want (other than porn) as long as it also contains the subject for the week. We are going to try this one out this week and see how it goes. If it's popular, we'll start to alternate between caption contests and Photoshop contests. If not...well, we'll see.
This week, the subject is....the 1:1 scale Gundam statue from Odaiba, soon to be put back up in Shizuoka this summer! Click the image below to go to the forum thread where you can enter the contest.

Episode 7: Calm Down, Two Men
Dutch dispatches Rock and Revy on errands throughout Roanapur, and Revy is displeased that she is forced to perform them with Rock. When they stop at the Church of Violence, an organization posing as religious missionaries in order to traffic drugs and illegal weaponry, Rock manages to use his business savvy to repair an agreement with Yolanda, the head of the Church of Violence, after Revy draws a gun on her. Yolanda is impressed by Rock's skill and asks Revy to emulate him. Afterwards, the Rock and Revy begin a violent disagreement at a restaurant, as Rock is furious at Revy for beginning to act like his former superiors in Japan, leaving Revy at a loss for words. Chief Watsap, the head of the corrupt Roanapur police and presumably a friend of Revy's, is forced to stop them, and the two reconcile in a police car.

Download TorrentDownload 720p ver.This release puts Black Lagoon on hold until additional raws are made available. A thought I had recently was that Zero-Raws might be waiting for entire seasons to be released, though if that were the case, the first season should already be out. In any case, we can only hope they continue releasing new raws soon.
Episode 6: Moonlit Hunting GroundsDutch and Revy leave the
Black Lagoon on a motorboat to raid the Nazis' ship. With the Nazis celebrating their retrieval of the painting, the two easily enter the ship, and Dutch instructs Revy to distract the crew while he searches for the painting. Revy obliges, killing all the Nazis she comes across, but Dutch is forced to stop her when she tries to kill the civilian crew members, which Dutch attributes to Revy's unease at accepting Rock into the crew. Dutch eventually finds Rachman, the Nazi commander, talking to Sir Alfred, a former SS member that ordered Rachman to retrieve the painting. Dutch deduces that Alfred hired the Lagoon Company to doubly insure that he would acquire the painting, and Rachman is furious at this revelation. After Alfred ends the conversation, Dutch and Revy kill Rachman, finishing their mission.

"They need another biker for Mario Kart! Sorry Goh, but Nintendo comes first!" (Sr388)
You know what time it is! Congrats to Sr388 for this week's winning caption!
So, lets take a look at what is in store for this week.
Lets start with Black Lagoon. At the moment, I'm still waiting for raws of episodes 8+ from Zero-Raws. I'm hoping they'll release them soon. There is a secondary source, but the file size is a lot larger for a negligible quality difference. I have faith that Z-R will release the new raws soon. However, other than that, I'll be releasing episodes 6 and 7 this week.
In 08th MS Team news, I've finished encoding episode 3, so that will be out this week, probably tomorrow. I'm hoping to encode episode 4 this week, possibly for release this weekend. Not a whole lot else to say here.
On the 2nd GIG front, like the other shows above, I'm shooting for 2 episodes this week. Going back to Black Lagoon for a moment, if it has to go on hold, expect to see an average of 3-4 GitS episodes a week until Black Lagoon resumes.
Lastly, I want to cover a few updates on planned projects, since we've had a lot of questions about them. Planned upcoming releases are:
- Gundam 00 Season 2 - Waiting for R1 DVD Vol. 1 (Expected in March)
- Code Geass R2 Ep. 20-25 - Waiting for R1 DVD Vol. 4 (Expected in March)
- Zeta Gundam (Currently planned for sometime after 08th MS Team is finished)
- Black Lagoon 2nd Barrage - Waiting for R2 Blu-ray raws (Expected in Late March)
While there are other shows that are certainly planned for release, those cover the shows that are planned to start in the near future.
So, until next week, thanks for your support and here is the new captions (and yes, I know it's recycled from an episode post. It's funny.)

Episode 5: Eagle Hunting and Hunting Eagles
The
Black Lagoon evades the TOW missiles, but Dutch and Benny observe the Nazis send a team underwater to retrieve the painting. Inside the submarine, Rock and Revy locate the painting, but Revy insists on searching the ship for medals and other valuables. When Rock voices his disapproval, Revy asserts that her turbulent childhood pushed her to reject God, love, and other emotions and to believe that everything has no value except for the money it can bring. The two are attacked by the Nazis and in the midst of the firefight, Rock loses the painting. The Nazis obtain it and retreat back to the surface with it. Revy attempts to pursue them, but Rock forces her to abandon the fight when the Nazis use machine guns to fire into the water. Rock and Revy return to the
Black Lagoon, where Dutch plans an assault on the Nazis' ship to retrieve the painting.
