The first R1 Loveless disc is out today, so I took the Loveless section out of the sidebar. If you were fazed by the high price of the R2s, the Media Blasters ones are $20 for 4 episodes. No dub, though, in case that matters to you.

Scripts for Loveless, Disk 4 have been released in our usual zds package. Just like before, it's a drop-in replacement for previous script releases. Remember that we will not release scripts for disks 5 and 6 due to the North American licensing of Loveless by Media Blasters.

Loveless is licensed by Media Blasters. Disc 1 comes out on Valentine's Day (February 14th for the unromantic). If you bought disc 4, you WILL still get ZDS scripts--you may wish you'd waited for the cheaper discs, but at least you won't be screwed out of the discs you already paid for. (Unless Media Blasters asks me not to distribute scripts any more, which is their right, and I'll take the scripts down if they ask.) There won't be scripts for discs 5 or 6, though, so if you've preordered those, I strongly suggest you cancel that order NOW.
The torrents are now down, of course. This repesents the first time since the group started that we haven't had at least one active torrent. Unless one of the fall shows improves to the point that I'm interested in subbing it (and there's only one on that candidate list), we probably won't be subbing anything until the Winter season starts in january (and even then it will depend on one of those shows appealing to me).
Oh, and I'm sure we're all hoping that MB's investment in the show contributes to a second season being made. That said, if there is a second season at this point, there wouldbe no doubt in my mind that MB has the rights to it and will exercise those rights--in other words, I'm considering it prelicensed. I hope nobody complains to me about this if/when it happens.

Now that Loveless disc 4 is out in Japan, the torrents for episodes 7 and 8 have been taken down. As usual, the scripts will be released shortly after I have my copy.

We Suck Fansubs is pleased to announce yet another script release, this time of Loveless, Disc 3. As usual, just download the new copy and drop it over the old.

The DVDSubber scripts for Loveless disc 2 are now available. Click the link in the sidebar to get them. (The URL is the same as before, but the .zds file at that location has been updated. Just drop the new file on top of the old one.) Also, there's a preorder link for disc 5, and cover art for disc 4. As for me, I'm flying out to California (this time for sure) the morning of the 21st, so in the mishigas of packing and unpacking and buying furniture and such, Survive DVD Box 4 scripts might be delayed a little. Actually my copy of the box hasn't arrived yet, though I'm expecting it in the morning.

Survive 41-52 and Loveless 3&4 torrents have been taken down, as their DVDs are now out in Japan. Also, somehow I neglected to mention that it was We Suck's 2nd birthday about a month ago.

If you downloaded the Loveless scripts in the last week, please download them again. An issue was pointed out to me in which the last few minutes of episode 2 (from the end of the fight until the ED) didn't have subtitles. I'm sure I synched them up, but maybe I misclicked after watching that part of the episode or something. Anyways, a fixed version is now available in the same place as the old one, so just replace your file if you have the old version.

Surely, there is no finer packaging for a DVD than the Super Jewel Box. Idunno, something about it just says, "I can withstand abuse." It also takes up about 1/3 less shelf space than an Amaray (but obviously still more than a Thinpak or Digipak). I mention this because I had never seen one before my copy of Loveless DVD 1 arrived. Loveless DVD 1 scripts are done and are linked in the sidebar. Don't forget to watch the omake.

Two points. First, Loveless episodes 1 and 2 have been taken down. Keep an eye on the Oricon daily Anime DVD charts; if sales of the first DVD are going to have anything to do with whether we get a second series, that page will give us an idea of how well it's doing. Today it's #18--I guess it could be doing better, but it could also be doing worse.
Second point is the long awaited scripts for Survive Box Set 3 are done. The link in the sidebar has been updated to point at the new ZDS files, which contains all three box sets currently released, so if you have an old version of the script pack you can just replace it with this version.

Some of you are expressing discontent with how Loveless ended, and are asking if there's any possibility of a season 2. Well, there's always a possibility. A recent post from the Loveless Staff Diary from H (Everyone there goes by their initials, although most of them are K, so you get things like K #3, etc.) thanked people who had watched it on TV and bought drama CDs etc., and said that, "It's all of your power that can bring this staff back together." Since I figure H to be Hedwig Schreck, the producer from TV Asahi, that probably means she's interested in putting more Loveless on the network as long as the other companies who produced season 1 are interested in producing season 2. In other words, if sales of CDs, DVDs, and other goods for the property are strong, then a season 2 becomes more likely.

It looks like Tokyopop has licensed the Loveless manga, according to the con report on AnimeonDVD.com. It doesn't seem to be coming out until early next year though.

Ahh! It's over!!!!

Loveless, episode 12. Final. But I didn't feel like putting it in the filename, as it looks funny to me.

Thank you all that have used the affiliate links to the right, for supporting us, and more importantly, for supporting the anime industry at its source. If you haven't, well, please do. (As noted before, Torgen sees 10% of sales through those links.) With good luck, there'll be a project worth undertaking soon; if not, well, we'll go on hiatus again for a while.

I finally managed to get the filesize targeting right! Stupid codec.

Loveless episode 11.

Edit: oh yes, a most excellent new layout. w00t

So, amazingly mad props to blueImpulse, who put together this great Loveless skin for the site complete with images. (She says the images came from a site called Sozaiya NITRO.) Actually she made three versions, from which I chose the one I liked the best. I like it so much, in fact, that it's now the default skin for new visitors to the site. If you choose "Loveless" from the drop-down in the sidebar, those of you who are long-time visitors will see what the hubbub is about.

mraow.

Loveless episode 10 on scarywater to torrent off. I'm in a bit of a hurry, so that's all in comments for today. I hope to update this message later this afternoon?

It looks like Loveless is getting preempted this week by World Cup qualifying matches. Episode 10 is being delayed by a week on all the stations in Japan that carry it, even the ones that show it a few days after TV Asahi and that aren't scheduled to be showing Soccer at that time, so that they stay in sync.

So it's summertime, abouts, and that is making my computer overheat a tad. I'm looking at getting some stronger cooling for the encoding computer, but those unexpected shutdowns caused some delays here. But whatever. Loveless, episode 9.

Edit: please inform me of any video issues that crop up. I'm experimenting with new settings, and while my testing is yielding positive results, my two testbed systems do not comprise all possible settings out there. If episode 9 does not behave, but episode 8 did, I'm interested in hearing about it.

I think it's been over a year since I was the one making a release announcement. I hardly know what to say. Tell you what, just go download Loveless 8.

It's late, but at least it still comes out, right? Loveless, episode 7.

Please also post comments on whether we should release a low-resolution version for those that have PDA devices. I'm thinking of doing experimentals of 320x240 sized encodes optimized for PDAs like iPAQs and such.

Edit: scarywater is still misbehaving, so again, don't believe that there are no downloaders, no seeds, and no time since the release.
