Hello all, I'd like to invite you all to try out our subs for Tales of the Abyss, both episodes 1 and 2 have just been made available on the Nyaa torrent listings

Episode 1:

Episode 2:
http://www.nyaatorrents.org/?page=torrentinfo&tid=35213

I was very excited when I found out that the Tales of the Abyss anime had recently aired. Having played the game years ago I could vaguely remember loving the character development and giving the story a 26 episode treatment was just what the doctor ordered.

My initial shot at the translation came from just a simple set of .srt subrip soft subs to which I distributed amongst my friends and fellow Tales of the Abyss fans. The feedback was great, I had no idea how many of the official names I had gotten wrong until a friend who had played the game more recently helped me out.

Another friend of mine got really excited seeing my translations and decided to try his hand in Karaoke and Gaku subs was born from there.

Gaku being the very same one from learning, represents us well as a student project. Current staff are all universtity students studying Japanese, so any critique will be appreciated

, the current set of subtitles have come from a handful of revisions already, subtitling has definitely been fun and educational as a language learner.

Being your average Australian internet subscriber, our upstream ability is quite horrible to say the least.

My maximum upstream speed is 100kB/s so please be patient and I invite anyone who can to please help us seed the torrents.

As a result, we're currently happy to partner with any keen distribution and quality check staff, so far we're only 2 people, so distro will be crazy slow.

Well if you read that much, then thank you very much.

Seems opening your .srt file to the public is a bad idea, two other users had taken my initial set of softsubs with little to no quality check and had made releases out of them, Anonymous-Bobu44 was the first, but Mr. Anonymous didn't follow through with the seeding (or it was just a troll torrent) which wouldn't have been so bad, but he attached my handle onto the torrent name.

Secondly Weib had uploaded their subs using my initial un-refined translations, though If I recall correctly they did slightly modify it, only thanking me indirectly after they had already uploaded their files.

I don't mind sharing resources, afterall we're all working off of someone else's intellectual property

, but an open forum with replies is ideally what I should start being a part of
