I'm pretty new to this stuff, but does this mean you won't sub Karin anymore?

Torgen said...

No, it just means that episode 9 won't air until January 5th.

Anonymous said...

That's bad enough!

Darn that sucks i enjoy this anime to much

I wonder what pre-empted it? It will be worth the wait though.

Torgen said...

Apparently they're showing some movies instead.

Not sure if this has been asked before because I'm lazy, but are you going to make a karin theme for your website?

Torgen said...

I don't know if I'll make one necessarily, but if someone else makes one (using the existing CSS as a template) and sends it to me and I like it, I could put that one up.

it's the 5th January today, but Karin 9, but it isn't on the page?

Torgen said...

It finished airing about an hour ago. Give it a little time.

By when will it be ready?

At least they weren't asking for it
before it was aired. heh.

Thanks again for all you do.

Some of you people just don't understand how much work goes into preparing an episode for the leechers. It will be done when it is done. You should thank We Suck for keeping you guys up to date on when the next episode would be airing, and in the future keep in mind that it is a free service they are providing and that they are not bound by your impatience.

where would i be able to download them, i got 1/8 but im just curious where to download one when it comes out o_o;; if this looks way too n00b, sorry for that, anyways, great job on the subbing etc all!

I'm one of the people above, who could maybe have said something unnecessary. Sorry! You are making a great job and i appreciate it, a lot.
I just thought that "aired" meant that it would be able to download, on this page. I was wrong.
Take the time you need and make it a very good anime!
Bye from here!

it seems like every anime series that I'm watching is being preempted by something lately.

Lol @ confusion on why it was pre-empted. Last week was the week of New Years.

i enjoy the show alot and i will say great work and one more thing the "unhappiness" that karin attacted to ( i think it should be misfortune )

Anonymous said...

that would totally change the plot if she could suck misfortune out of people

Anonymous said...

well she doesn't "suck" blood from ppl she put blood in ppl remember??

Anonymous said...

and one more thing i have seen the manga and it's translate as misfortune not unhappiness ( it also mean unlucky )

Anonymous said...

if it was misfurtune then dear momy whould have got a jub long ago^^

Anonymous said...

But she been given a luky blood so she should find job easly.

Anonymous said...

Unhappyness is certainly the correct translation. I don't know Japanese, but just from the context of the anime. With the mom's blood transfusion she became happy, but with the same bad luck. :)

Heh, I guess Karin must be a universal donor, type O-. I hope Karin saves like the vampire hunters life with a blood transfusion, the irony would be so thick.

Torgen said...

I wouldn't mind if she let Winner die, but I guess I have different priorities than she does.

Anonymous said...

I've thought about this further: until Usui's home life
stabilizes he will not be truly happy. Food and shelter
are just two basics. He feels some guilt in Karin
making lunches for him yet also feels pressure
for having to deal with his mother and Karin's
issues. Then Winner's constant duels makes the
pressure a bit worse. Add school and work pressure
and we might have the most unfortunate character
in anime (saving except the protagonist of "If I See
You In My Dreams").

He's going to melt down eventually. There's only
a few things I can see fixing it but we'll see what
happens.

I also wouldn't mind if she let Winner die, it would just be a funny scene if she saved him.

Another thing, vampires are rich in most fantasy worlds... they at least have a huge ass house in this one. Why can't they set the mom up with a job. Other then the fact that it would totally mess up the story. :P

To Freestyle Walker:
Yes, you're saying something...
I didn't notice it, before you said it.
The boy in front of the lake/sea/whatever, in the opening... He must be Winner-kun!

Anonymous said...

I also think that the boy in the opening sequence
is winner-kun. His malformed memory of her
somehow coming around to attract him to her.
Watching her run away from him is amusing in
many ways. But I wouldn't want to see ren get
angry seeing this, heh.

<Torgen> Next I'll claim that my translations are perfect, and any apparent errors are really elaborate typos.
<MSH> typos introduced by the keyboard of course, not by you!
<Torgen> naturally.
<_bla_> Torgen: why is group called "we suck" then not "my keyboard sucks" ?
<Torgen> typo.
<Torgen> Tyreal: not enough room in your nick for |sucks?
<Tyreal|Seeking|Enlightenment> crap!
<Tyreal|Seeking|Enlightenment> I suck!
* Tyreal|Seeking|Enlightenment is now known as Tyreal|Enlightenment|Sucks
<Tyreal|Enlightenment|Sucks> phew
<Tyreal|Sucks> Torgen: how DID you do those DVD type subs by the way :P
<Tyreal|Sucks> just got fonts that looked like that, or used an actual dvd subtitling proggie
<Torgen> It's Arial.
<Torgen> I used TextSub.
<Tyreal|Sucks> ahh
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> Torgen: THERE YOU ARE
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> Torgen: do you really think I suck ;_;
<Torgen> no.
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> oh good
<Torgen> I was a little worried that it'd be interpreted that way, though.
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> Torgen: nah, I just laughed for about 2 hours
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> When I started getting pm's about it
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> "You're from we-suck"
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> apparently we-suck is popular with the french
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> Don't ask me why XD
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> They say they want to "worship you"
<Torgen> I'll put you in parenths next time so it's clear you just post the raws.
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> no, put Tyreal|Sucks in there
<Tyreal|Work|Sucks> I'm amused by this now, I kind of like it XD
<Shouta> <WeSuck> You = my bitch
<Torgen> Yeah, it's like taking the ghost suit of the ghost lego man and putting it on the astronaut lego man.
<Torgen> The ghost lego man is now just a normal lego man with a featureless face.
<Torgen> while the astronaut gets to look out through the ghost suit's eyeholes.
<Spyre> Torgen that has to be the best analogy ever.
<Spyre> Thats EXACTLY what its like!
* Spyre is in awe
<kara|hw> i told crustol...
<kara|hw> '私解析していてちょっぴり濡れちゃった。'
<kara|hw> he hasnt talked to me in a while

<AWAY-Bomb|AutoShow> Whee!
<AWAY-Bomb|AutoShow> Suck!
<Torgen> no, because Hawaii would have been right
<Torgen> but it was wrong.
<Torgen> so it was left.
<Torgen> :(foot)
<Torgen> Think you could co-produce some Gundam show with cat girls in it?
<Jekichu-clone> gundam....cat girls...
<Jekichu-clone> ...
<Jekichu-clone> ....
<Jekichu-clone> no
<Torgen> Like have cat-girls (and boys, and women, and men) instead of Newtypes or Coordinators...
<Torgen> or whatever other gundam series had.
<Jekichu-clone> laf, thats straight up pornographic
<Torgen> think of the ratings!
<Jekichu-clone> rawwwrrrr
<PyRC> basket, if everything is recursive, maybe there are no fansubs.
<Torgen> And Ensei doesn't sound like I expected him to when I first saw him...
<Torgen> He looks all gruff...
<Torgen> and he sounds so comical.
<arcImpulse> and you expected...
<Torgen> him to sound all gruff, like those assassins...
<Torgen> but he sounds uncultured;
<Torgen> not rogueish.
<Torgen> it's like, if he said "wanna come over and watch the game?" I'd take a moment to realize that was an anachronism.
<arcImpulse> if you think he sounds weird... just wait till we get to Eccentric Kou
<arcImpulse> and you'd be like...holy anachronism~~
<Torgen> what, does Kou sound like a robot or something?
<arcImpulse> damn, I couldn't fool you, ne?
