Saki ch. 65 [Mg]

Look, it’s out! As promised, here’s the latest chapter of Saki. Next chapter will be published in 3 weeks.

I almost forgot about it, but here are the comments for some pages on this chapter:

Page 8:

  • fidzerone: UOOOOH!!! that’s our mihoko! look at mako’s face :p
  • iamthecheese: I love how Mako is like: ”Whoa, wait a second, I’ve been oblivious all this time to the fact that Hisa is totally railing this chick while I’ve been getting no carpet? FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Also, the sudden focus on Mako suggests that she’s going to do something awesome in the Nationals. Haters gonna hate.

Page 9:

  • fidzerone: “Oooh” and “Tokyo: fused, or something like that :p
  • iamthecheese: Ever noticed Saki’s vague resemblance to Koume from TYM? I could almost see her singing ”Marching Through Georgia” about now.

Page 12-13:

  • fidzerone:  again, poor u kyoutarou, what with this npc-like lines? D:
  • iamthecheese: he’s rivaling TK (Angel Beats!) in amount of dialogues per week.

Page 14:

  • fidzerone: I call you from now on as “NPC 1.”

Page 15:

  • fidzerone: “Bucho-“, i like it, instead of captain, i can feel the love of this nickname to hisa
  • iamthecheese: I concur.

Random PVs [PV]

I found them when cleaning up my fansub directories. Both are done by original staffs (uses ancient tools, ofc. And the subs are in .ssa format). Too bad the “Onna no Ko Otoko no Ko” encoded video I have is broken so I decided to remake (kind of) using original subs (lightly modified, mostly killed the k-timing since it’s out of sync, etc) and muxed with raw from Nipponsei (hai minglong). The “Find The Way” is unmodified apart from the filename.

Some lulz to enjoy while waiting for Saki chapter 64 and vol. 7 (clean, etc), Yoiko 7-8, etc. I also found some other things but they’re for next time (or whenever I feel like it).

Just in case you’re wondering where these are from, “Find The Way” is one of Gundam SEED ending song and “Onna no Ko Otoko no Ko” is School Rumble ending song.

Saki ch. 63 [Mg]

Finally the latest chapter!

Because of several conditions (other staffs being busy, few amount of dialogues, me testing the shiny free mouse, etc), I decided to finish this chapter by my own (apart from translation and edit). Also thanks to one of the ancient staff for providing the raw. With raw paradise is dead, etc I was forced to find alternative source for the raw. As any respectable team out there, there’s no better place to find raw (apart from recruiting staff on-site) than Share and Perfect Dark. Perfect Dark, requiring at least 40 GB of unity/dummy data, is not quite usable here in Indonesia and most of classic (aka non-.ts or BDISO) are still on Share anyway. Searching files on Share is much easier anyway.

So here, latest Saki chapter available. I’ll see if other staffs are willing to do previous chapters. Stay tuned!

Status on Saki chapter 61-63

First, sorry for lateness. I’m not expecting the progress to be this slow. Basically, the original typesetter was busy with exams and tasks so the job was given to someone else… who uses GIMP. Thanks to that I moved the “edit applier” (er, the one who applies the translation edit to the scans) job to the typesetter and it turns out he works not quite fast enough – hence the slowdown. Add the fact the script need at least two passes edit – first is my edit for fidzlish (translator’s english – complete with literal translation for mahjong terms) to something closer to english (with help from anywhere I can get especially for mahjong terms) and then I pass it to the real editor.

Both chapters 61-62 is currently waiting for my edits to be applied before passed again to the real editor. Please be patient.

In other news, chapter 63 is still being cleaned and translated.
