Episode 11 is out, as is our new home, http://nyoronfansubs.org

This blog has now outlived it's usefulness, and while it's been a great place to post news, I don't need it anymore. From now on all news and updates will be released on the new site. This blog will not be taken down, but I likely won't be writing much in it.

anyway here are torrent links:

Hope to see you all on the new site!

Episode 11 delays

So here's the deal,

I'm a college student and I live at home during the summer. Last night, shortly after I got my raw for episode 11 my mom got badly hurt. She broke her leg in two places, around the middle of her leg, and a serious shatter near her ankle. She's in bad shape and will need surgery and metal replacements to ever be able to walk again. I just got back from the hospital a short while ago. I barely have any work done on the subs, so those of you looking for speed this week should download anon's subs. He should be finishing soon. Mine won't be done for a while yet, late tonight if I'm lucky or Monday evening.

Thanks in advance to those of you who choose to watch my subs. Back to work.

Gurren Lagann Character Songs CD

Another little nugget we stumbled upon on the Gainax GL website, a CD to be released on the 25th of July will contain 2 character songs for tthe three major characters of Gurren Lagann. Simon and Kamina will share a song called "Breake Through the Dream" lol engrish. Yoko will have her very own sond entitled "Trust".

As you probably know from our subs, Konami is the primary sponsor of Gurren Lagann, and they have anounced that Yoko's song, "Trust" will have a remix which will appear on their upcoming Dance Dance Revolution Supernova 2 for Playstation 2. Those with modded PS2s be sure to import it and tell me how it is.

While Character songs are neat and everything, there's still no news on the one CD we're all waiting for, the Gurren Lagann Original Sound Track. It would be pretty sweet if I could rig up something to play some music from it in the background of this site don't you think? So unless the next character CD has a Viral/Adiane duet, I don't want to hear about any more of them until the OST arrives.

Oh and I guess I'll do a brief episode 11 preview since it's coming out Saturday night.

The Great Gurren Brigade managed to sucsessfully thwart the attack of Adiane. The group is in high spirits now that their flagship, the Dai-Gurren is fully operational once more, except for Simon. He locks himself away completely from everyone else in his room. Everyone seems to have given up on him except for one person, Nia, who continues to worry. Suddenly the Dai-Gurren recieves an S.O.S from the Capitol. Leeron and the others are sure it is a trap and regard it with suspicion. However Kittan gives the order for them to go and lend their aid.

God damn it Kittan -_-

Episode 11 should release sometime on Sunday or Monday, depending on if its a monster of dialog like 10 was or not. 'Til next time Nyoronites.

Episode 10

Stick a fork in it, cause this beast is finally done.

Mkv: here
Avi: here
And the Ass: here

It was a real big episode, 445 lines on the ass.
I'm glad it's done and I salute [anon] for getting his done a full day ahead of me.

Until next time Nyoronites. I'm gonna... go lie down.

Slight delay

Yes, a slight delay in episode 10. It'll be up sometime tomorrow evening. Fang needed sleep. There's a lot of dialogue in this episode. Needs more fighting in my opinion.

But yes. Tomorrow. See you then.


Edit: In an attempt to help, I decided to try and get the rest of the timings in (not the translations, I haven't reviewed Japanese in over a year - I suck at it). However... it's really freaking boring.

Fake subs are fun. =)





I'm easily amused at 5 am. =P

Episode 9 AVI, new karaoke (kinda), and layout ideas

It's been up for a few hours, but for those who haven't seen it, episode 9 version 2 is out.

AVI:
http://a.scarywater.net/nyoron/%5BNyoron%20Subs%5D%20Gurren%20Lagann%2009%20(704x396_XviD)%20v2.avi.torrent

And with it came the new version of the karaoke (different font, and hopefully everything's correct now =P). No more 2-liner in there, either. Yay.

Adiane and Shto (Cytomander, whatever) sure know how to pose, eh?
(Edit: I should probably have mentioned that the image quality is so crappy because I saved it as a gif and didn't bother maxing the quality. Same with the images below.)


Also been working on layout ideas for the site. I'm partial to one general layout scheme with different colours and whatnot. Like these:



(Scaled down from screenshots taken at 1680x1050 resolution and saved as gifs for smaller file sizes.)

But we'll see what happens. Time to go work on Simon and Yoko's versions. =)

New Episode 9 script how to's

I was going to release this on Monday along with the episode 10 stuff, but since it's done now, why not put it out there? Save myself some bandwidth for seeding episode 10.

Anyway, here's how to get the new script to work.

1st, If you downloaded our last .ass and a raw and used them together, it's as simple as tossing out the old script and using the new one.

2nd, If you downloaded our .mkv (the vast majority) here's how you get this script into the mkv. You need to download this program, Mkvtoolnix http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/downloads.htmlt
It's a pretty straightforward program. Extract all the tracks of the mkv, and throw out the old .ass Then re-mux the mkv with the new script (make sure it has the same name as the old one), and then you're good to go.

3rd, for those who watch the .avi you're out of luck til Shami makes the new 9 .avi
You could try re naming the .ass to match the .avi but chances are the two subs would overlap when they're different.

Sorry I messed up in a couple of places, I'll be much more careful next time.

More announcements for GL

Ok time to clear the air about a few things.

1st, episode 9's translation was pretty awful in points as was made abundantly clear to me. Our fans deserve better. So simultaneously with our episode 10 releases later this week I will release a fixed .ass file for 9 so all of you can fix your versions to a more correct one. Why am I doing this? Shageki-kun told me to.

Secondly from episode 10 (and the fixed 9 .ass) on, I will be using the official names for the Generals and Spiral king. Yes even Thymilph. Now before you get upset, know that Gainax are some clever sons of bitches to name them this way and here's why: The Spiral King and his generals are a metaphor for DNA. Spiral in this case referring to a double helix, and each of the generals given a name that mirrors one of the four enzymes that make up DNA; Thymine, Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine. Chances are down the line this series is going to have a lot of stuff about genetics and the makeup of life. And there's also Viral. What is a virus but a collection of DNA coated in protein? Another thing that's interesting is how Adiane and Thymilph apparently shared a friendship, when adenine and thymine are two enzymes in DNA that link together. Gainax is going somewhere with this, I'm looking forward to seeing what it is.

I watched Shinsen Subs' release of Oh! Edo Rocket number one last night and I was very impressed! They did an amazing job with everything and even put in about 6 minutes of very useful culture notes at the end of the episode. It's very daunting to be making a release that competes with that kind of quality. I'm kind of afraid no one will watch mine now.

And lastly last night on 4chan a lot of people got excited over the idea that we might be merging with [anon] subs. While I'm not against that idea, there have been no developments to that effect.

So tl;dr - new episode 9 script, offical names for bad guys from now on, Shinsen rocks, lol fansubbers.

'Til next time.

Official Episode 9 names

Ugh new official names for all the new stuff in episode 9 came out on the Gainax website today and boy was I off the mark. Lets take a look:

The scorpion General, who's name I translated as Adine is Adiane, not too bad.


The Peacock who I gave a German sounding name, Shtomundor or something, was as simple as "Cytomander" go figure.

I think I called this one "Goam" or something. His official name is Guame.

The big fish, the Spiral King. I called him Roddanam or something. Official name is Lord Genome.

The new mechs weren't really named in the episode, except Dai-Ganzan became Dai-Gurren and stuff like that. but you can check them out at http://www.gurren-lagann.net/mecha/index.html

Save Adiane, I kinda was off the ball on these. Oh well.

And one more thing from an anon on /m/ who went to Fanime this year:

"I recently returned from Gainax's Gurren-Lagann panel. I didn't bring my video camera this time, so I'm typing this from memory.

First, they showed the episode one of Gurren-Lagann without subtitles, but I'm pretty sure almost everyone there had already seen it fansubbed. After the episode was over, Hiroyuki Yamaga said, "If you want to see what happens next... I don't care, watch a fansub or something." So there you go: WE ARE FULLY AUTHORIZED TO DOWNLOAD GURREN-LAGANN."

So download guilt free my Gurren fans!

More stuffs

Episode 9 avi is done, though Scarywater's tracker seems to be down at the moment. Or maybe it just doesn't like me. Whatever.

.AVI

And now in response to some comments -

We intend to get an actual website. Trying to work out a nice layout.

As far as I know, we don't intend on getting an IRC channel. At least I don't. Haven't even discussed it really. Torrents seem to work nicely.

Scripts for episodes 1-5 were done in Sub Station Alpha 4 (.ssa files). Episodes 6+ are being done in Aegisub (.ass files). I doubt anything else will ever be used for the subtitles.

And I'll direct Fang back here in regards to the SQ/HQ mkv versions since episode 8. He took over doing the encoding for the SQ after he found a nifty (I guess) encoding program.

Episode 9 and a special announcement!

Gurren Lagann Episode 9 is out. Grab your torrents here:

Now as for the announcement. I'm proud to announce the Nyoro~n Fansubs will be subbing another new series: Oh! Edo Rocket!



It's a cute series that takes place in Old Tokyo (Tokugawa Era I believe), and it's about fireworks, Eureka clones, furries, and all sorts of other stuff.

Our primary goal is the speedsubbing of Gurren Lagann. Edo Rocket is more of a side project with a more relaxed "It's done when it's ready" schedule. The first episode should be ready to go later this week.

Thank you for watching Nyoro~n Fansubs, and I hope you'll give Oh! Edo Rocket a watch as well.

Gainax offical name flip flops.

God damn it Gainax. I was reading through the Gainax official site for Gurren Lagann and noticed that they changed many of the official names for several things: Chimiruf has now become Thymilph. But no one cares about him cause he's dead now. Dai Gurren Dan becomes Team Dai Gurren, and Coco Ji became Old Coco. Not big deals since I haven't even really used them. But the biggest change which makes no sense is Ganmen are now to be called Gunmen, which is ridiculous. Ganmen as some of you may know is an alternative word to Kao or face in Japanese. This made sense since the machines are basically big heads with arms and legs. Gunmen is kind of bizzare as I have yet to see one of the things armed with a gun. And now that I look closer I see that Viral's modified Enki is now known as the Enkidu, that's just lolfully sad.

I'll submit to the first few changes but the changes for the mech names I'm not so sure about. Should I follow the official names even if they've become woefully retarded, or stick with my current translations We've used for 8 episodes?

Great episode, manly tears were shed for our hero Kamina. May he be smiting furries from heaven right now. It's up to us to step up and console the widow Yoko.

Until next week.

Nyoro~n Fansubs blog is go

I'm sure we're all sick of our scarywater site as our homebase right? Well while browsing fansubbing sites on Tokyo Toshokan, I noticed that Your Mom has one of these as their homepage, so I made one, at least until our real site gets off the ground.

So for the time being this is where I'll update news of everything that is Nyoro~n, as well as provide some interesting stuff that should be fun for everyone.

Also this is a place for you to leave feedback for us. We are a new fansubbing group after all, and we aren't as experienced as some of you out there, so if you've got something to share with us, I for one welcome your critiques.

Thanks for choosing Nyoro~n, we aim to please.
