Are you dead?

(The answer is: Maybe. I’m not sure…)

Well guys, before anything, this is not your usual “Founder”/battlefeverJNB, this is Someone new talking to you all, I just wanted to drop by to give you some explanations in any ways I can, but I just didn’t knew how to handle it. In any case, here it goes.

First of all, I don’t know what happened to Founder since we only talked through facebook and he stopped answering me over 2 weeks ago. I also don’t know the reason for why he disappeared, maybe it was his life that got busier, maybe he thought he couldn’t go through with the project for whatever reason, I don’t really know, but if anyone talked to him these last couple of weeks it’d be good to have a clarification.

“How are things gonna go from here?”
I have thought over this question a million times since we released Changeman’s 1st episode, and after consideration I though I should say that:

• I don’t want the project to die, so I’m gonna take upon myself to continue the blog’s life. Yeah, I am kind of “stealing it” but I like to think that I’m actually keeping the cause of having a safe place for new people to start in subbing.
• As you all can see on this thread started by jfbladex on Tokunation, GUIS will be making their own subs for Changeman, so it’s safe to say that we will not be doing Change anymore, since their subs are actually translated from the Japanese audio so it’ll be 200% percent more accurate translation then we could provide at the time. I suggest all the people to watch their version as well, as I myself will be watching, because after having to watch almost 6 times the first two episodes in 3 different languages, I can honestly say that I got really into the series (but like most of you, I like to watch the most accurate version when possible). So what could we do now? I guess that…
• … the next project could still be Flashman, what do you guys think!? But yeah, since Founder kinda quit and he was the one that had all the contact with the people  involved in the 1st episode, we’d have to assemble a whole new team before starting another project so consider this yet another chance to join us on it if you’d like! You can leave a comment at the About page at any moment.

Well, I think I said everything I could. Guys, for real, any case any of you’d want to start on it, just come in contact and we’ll try our best to give the community better results than before. For the starting people, we’ll need

• Translators (translating what the characters say on-screen and text that appears on TV/papers/boards or anything relevant to the episode)  (which can be me, on some cases only);
• Timer  (people that would be timing the lines with the audio at those seconds and milliseconds);
• Editor (someone to encode and release the files in other formats besides .mkv);
• And QC’ers (Quality Control, checking for grammatical and translation errors and such), as much as we can have.

I’d mostly be doing the job of an “overseer” or a bridge for the people that want to form their own fansubs (as was Founder before me). If anyone is interested just leave your information on the contact page, which I will then respond to. I think that’s all (for now, at least).

P.S. Users Angel and Shourikan have showed interest in encoding the files to .mp4 and translating respectively. If any of you guys are interested just let me know.

P.S.S. Check on the sidebar the latest toku episodes released by other fansubs! It will be updated every few hours. If I forget any, just leave a comment at the latest post and I’ll update it.
