New Poll Update: Year's End Review Edition

NewPoll-05
The Release Schedule Update promised a new poll, so here ya go!

Well its been a long time since I've made a new poll. Sorry if you've been waiting for one. Even though I have a few ideas floating in my head, its not enough to have one every month, so I mostly end up writing one whenever I feel like it.

Results from Cosplays and Cons (7/1/10):

Ever been to a con?
Yup! - 58 (22%)
Nope, but I'd like to - 135 (52%)
Not interested - 48 (18%)
What's a con? - 17 (6%)

Do you cosplay?
Yes, I do! - 14 (5%)
Sometimes - 17 (7%)
Never - 155 (65%)
Does Halloween count? - 51 (21%)

Commentary:
I'll keep this short. I'm with the majority on both of these questions. I've never been to a con before but I'd like to go to one at least once in my life, preferably while I'm still interested in anime. I've never cosplayed and yes, I know it's part of the con experience, but I don't really see myself doing so if I do go to a con. However, I've always wanted to see what it feels like to wear a cardboard box and write "GUNDAM" on it.

New Poll:
I don't know about you, but for me, 2010 was an awesome year with events that I'll always remember. As much as I hate for it to end, I know I have to look forward to 2011 and hope for the best. So continuing the trend from last year, at the end of the year (it's still 12/31 on the West Coast at the time of this posting), I'll ask: What was your favorite, most enjoyable series release from OZC-Anime this year (and there's plenty)?

And this time, do expect a follow-up poll after this one ends!

Release Schedule Update - Monday 12/27/10

Week51

Last update of the year! I have to say, this year really feels like it flew by. While releases haven't been quite as fast as last year, a lot had gotten done and there's plenty more planned for 2011 so stick around! I'll be making an end of the year post on Jan 1st with some stats for the past year. We'll also get some polls up that will run for 2-3 weeks.

Cowboy Bebop comes to a close this week with the release of the last 4 episodes. I'm planning to get all 4 released by Friday in order to complete it before the year is over. Look for those episodes starting tomorrow.

As I mentioned on Twitter, due to some Cowboy Bebop re-encodes, E7 Episode 43 was delayed. I'm shooting for tonight but I only just noticed that this episode has commentary so it may not be ready until tomorrow. After that, Episodes 44 and 45 will release Saturday and Sunday.

Right now, the plan is to try and get the last 5 E7 episodes completed next week. Once those are done, I'll be able to finish the re-encodes of the first 20 and finally get that first batch out. After I finish those episodes, I'm going to take a week off while I work with Qriist on encoding one of the next projects. I'll detail those plans more once we get to that point.

That pretty much covers everything for this week. Until next time, thanks for your support!

Release Schedule Update - Monday 12/20/10

Minty: The Candy Cane


This week's update image has a musical accompaniment, so just click the player above and enjoy the song...

So, while it won't be until Saturday, Merry Christmas and all that jazz, and if you celebrate any other holiday, Happy [INSERT HOLIDAY] to you! In the spirit of the season, there's no better time to watch Endless Waltz, or one of the many other anime series with Christmas episodes (none of which I think I've done...)

So, thanks to a power outage that I detailed on Twitter yesterday via my phone, the expected E7 episodes didn't come out. Sorry about that but what can you do? Anyway, I'm going to try and finish up the OP/ED karaoke styling tonight and then I'll get Ep 40 out tomorrow and 41 out Wednesday. Episodes 42 and 43 should be on schedule for Saturday or Sunday.

Bebop chugs along with another 3 episodes. Next week, I'll likely shoot for 4 since that would wrap up the series. I mentioned it in a tweet, but I'll repeat it here. Episode 17 will get a revised version in the batch. I mistakenly left the AC3 audio on the main tracks instead of the AAC, so I want to correct that. No patch because it doesn't affect the playback, I just prefer it to be consistent.

Keep an eye out for new polls next week, as well as an end of the year wrap-up post. Until then, as always, thanks for your support!

Gundam 00 Season 2 FLAC Pack

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Batch 2 (Ep. 26-50)

This release contains the second half of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, as well as associated bonus materials. The files contained within are the final versions of the Zeta Gundam releases for Episodes 26-50.

Changes made are:

- Version 2 for Episode 33. V2 attaches missing fonts. This version is the same as the one created by the previously released patch.

Bonus materials include:

- Clean OP and ED 2 (Includes Japanese and International (aka R1) themes). The tracks in the OP file are tagged backwards. There will not be a patch for this as it's a non-critical file. Remux it if you wish.

Additional bonus features can be found in the first batch.

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.

Also available is a batch torrent containing Japanese stereo FLAC for Episodes 26-50. This is a repost of the link for the existing FLAC torrent.
