End of DDL Section
Saturday, January 21, 2012 |

Hello everyone, I'm sure you have been keeping up with the news lately but if you haven't, let me sum it up by saying DDL file sharing has more or less completely died. I have lost all control over both my MU and FS accounts and MANY of the current DDL links are offline. Only a random few FS links currently remain active but since my account was disabled, I doubt they will last for much longer.
So to sum this up, there will no longer be any DDL's offered from us, only torrents.

OZC Edit 1/21 @ 8pm:
To expand on DDL related matters from my end of things, as I mentioned in a tweet, things like the FLAC Packs and assorted bonus materials were also hosted on MegaUpload. I'm still examining alternate options for where to repost these, but obviously the easiest method would be torrents as Cman mentioned. I'm also considering adding download bots to IRC, but that is still up in the air.
Qriist Edit 1/22 @10am:
As a side note, both OZC and I have each maintained multiple backups for pretty much everything our group has released. This includes physical media (harddrives, etc), my personal online storage, and a third unnamed online host that the group shares. We WILL do our best to provide everything, but don't pressure us. You guys all know that only goes over badly.

Here's a picture of mom and baby, both doing well!
(And yes, I recycled this post for the most part. My options for such a thing are a bit limited, and there isn't a picture of the Mark II holding a baby...)

MS IGLOO - Complete Series Batch
This release contains the complete Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO - The Hidden One Year War + Apocalypse 0079, as well as associated bonus materials. The files contained within are the final versions of the MS IGLOO releases.
Changes made are:
- Version 2 for all episodes + Episode 1 Preview. The subtitle styling has been updated to use the new Calibri-based styling seen on Planetes instead of the old Arial-based styling. Patches for previous downloads are available at the bottom of this post.
Bonus materials include:
- Booklet Scans from all 6 Volumes
- Clean OP Versions for all 6 Episodes
- Production Sketch Images
- MS IGLOO OST
- Main Theme Singles Collection OST
Also available are the previously released FLAC Packs, found below the torrent links.
There will be no support for the individual episode files as of this release. Any seed requests for those episodes should instead be directed to this torrent. If you are currently downloading any of the standalone files, stop the single files, start this torrent, and recheck against the new torrent.

Digimon Xros Wars
Ok, so, it was announced over at Xros Raws that we would be scanlating the Xros Wars manga. Here's the deal behind whats going on with that:
- omniG is project lead on this one. He will be posting releases for the manga.
- Most of the raws will not be from Xros Raws, but they will be a backup source and will be helping with other things.
- Most of the scans are new, cleaned up scans (see sample preview below)
- omniG is still waiting on materials before getting underway.
- A translation is available for the work, and they are looking into a secondary translator to iron out some details.
- The preview page has the site address and IRC channel on it but the final releases will NOT have these URLs on them.
- I will be tweeting release announcements just like I do with new episode announcements. Other than that, comments/questions/complaints should be directed to IRC or the Xros Raws comments section.
- If we think of anything else, it will be edited in here.
As an example, here is a basic scan of the source, which according to omniG, has been printed on Japan's worst toilet paper, and an example of the cleaned up page. This is taken from a special chapter that wasn't in any of the single volumes, and will likely be released as an initial test to iron out any issues.
These images are just basic examples due to Flickr's scaling, so for those interested in full size images, here they are
So that pretty much covers everything about what's going on. Hopefully that will answer some questions since we've been pretty quiet on our side of things. If you want any additional info, check out Xros Raws or WithTheWill.net, our preferred Digimon Forum.
This has been an unpaid advertisement for the Xros Wars Scanlation project.

A Few Odds and Ends
I just wanted to mention a few assorted things that were a bit too long for Twitter but each too short for their own posts.
- Batches. I'm WAAAAY behind on batches for the Patlabor Original Series OVA, MS IGLOO, and especially Zegapain. I'm going to be working on encoding all the bits of bonus material for these, but I don't think I'll have the time to work on them with any real focus until around Thanksgiving since I'll have a few extra days off. So sit tight and I'll get those done as soon as I can.
- Regarding those batches, since they haven't been released as the final versions, I'm still debating if I should change the subs to match the new style on the Planetes release. I'll be putting a poll up in a few days to get feedback on that, so please vote.
- How about mobile encodes? As a lot of people are aware, HP recently liquidated their stock of their Touchpad tablet. Myself and at least two of our staff that I know of got one, and so I've been experimenting with playing back our encodes on it. Here's what I have found:

- MKVs work using Kalemsoft Media Player ($6 on their site if they ever fix their PayPal, $7 from the webOS catalog but updates are slower)
- Subtitles, including .ASS subs like we use, now work as of the latest build. Custom fonts and effects do not work, and there are some issues with multiple lines not all appearing (such as secondary dialog).
- 1080p encodes will play if subs are not enabled and your Touchpad is overclocked to 1.5GHz. Since the screen on the thing is only 720p, this is kind of pointless unless you want to watch the dub with no need to download the 720p file as well.
- 10-bit files don't work, but since we haven't gone 10-bit for anything, this is a non-issue.
- Digimon Xros Wars manga. See the post after this one for more details.
- Redline. This movie is awesome. If you haven't watched it, you are missing out. Manga has licensed it and is dubbing it, with a BD release set for January 17th, 2012. This is one of those anime films thatis capable of breaking out of that "anime niche" and could go mainstream if given the chance. Seriously. It's that good. I really urge everyone to check out the fansubs and then pick up a copy of the BD when it releases. Amazon or TRSI have it up for preorder.
