But the only group that, in my belief, might actually pick that series is Minor Ja Nai, but that'll only happen if they can get a translator. Hellas, the lack of interested translators has been their major problem so far in what fansubbing older series (like Hiatari Ryokou) is concerned. :\

Yeah, its been stalled for quite a while now and I can't seem to find any up to date info on the main group that was subbing it. I hope someone else picks it up (or the original group does a come back) as it was a fun series that I was enjoying.

I guess it depends on how one defines the term "stalled"... but when a group is following a pattern and then suddenly deviates wildly from that release pattern -- I'd call that a stalled series, especially when the broadcast is long over....
Given that view of what "stalled" means, I've got six series now that are "stalled" or experiencing long delays for a variety of reasons. Manabi Straight, Hidamari Sketch, Nadesico Yamato Shichi Henge, Tokimeki, Chocotto Sister, Hataraki Man... (I guess I'm dropping Negima!? as I was underimpressed by my raw viewings but it is idling as well). Most of those haven't been actively *dropped* by anyone (or at least announced as dropped) but after a burst of relatively consistent releases - each has experienced an eerie quiet with little or no information about the situation noted on the various sub groups websites. My main worry is that as the "new bright shiny things" keep appearing each season, the impetus and commitment to finish older projects fades. People are human after all.

Hai, hai.... I've had several people beat me over the head on Hataraki Man... somehow I missed the releases while scanning for "things to acquire".
Thanks to everyone for the head-bonking

Looks like *all* the Ryoumi projects are in some peril/delay/stall because (at least according to the IRC channel news) they're splitting off into two new groups so people can focus on what they want to.
I'm a bit concerned that their shows will get left in limbo.

I'm not with Ryoumi, so don't take my word to be anything official or w/e. But personally I wouldn't expect projects like Venus vs. Virus (with 2 other groups having finished it already) and Manabi Straight (with several groups much further along than they were) to be salvaged. (Unless it is in a DVD-ripped form.)
I'll would think that a few of the more 'Ryoumi'-dependent projects are being given a new home, either with one of the split groups or with other third-party groups. So I would suggest not worrying too much about things such as Tokimeki and other unsubbed projects yet, it is in nobody's best interest for those projects to be forgotten, including theirs. I expect we'll start seeing releases by the 'heirs' of Ryoumi before long. ;-) Personally, I would like to see Kirarin Revolution picked up. It does not look like Nihon no Kiseki will be finishing that. The last new ep they released was ep 2 in August of 2006, and there are 56 episodes out so far. It's officially listed as stalled.

Tokimeki is being actively subbed by c1anime as well
Nadesico Yamato Shichi Henge is being done by Kyuuketsuki, and Hidamari Sketch seems to have been picked up by gg recently, while Shintani released less than two weeks ago. I wouldn't call any of these three series stalled, slow releases are a better description. It's only been less than a month since their respective last releases. imo, "stalling" is reserved for indefinite delays due to various internal problems, probably most likely due to the lack of resources. And like what Crovax said, if Ryoumi's projects do get dropped, there are plenty of other fansubs you can look at, for most of them. Last edited by NoSanninWa; 2007-05-16 at 22:51.

The good news is it appears that another group has taken up fansubbing the series (the same group that subbed the recent OVA). The bad news is that they have restarted with episode 1 so it will be a while before they get to the later episodes that were never subbed by the previous group. |
