Tales of the Abyss generic anime discussion

[Deathkillz]

Wow, I am behind the times O.o

I had no idea that ep 2 was also aired as a special. Great!

Mieu...I will either love or hate him I guess depending on the voice

[TrueKnight]

haha! yes yes spread the Anise hate! that gold digger deserves it. *hides behind a wall*

on side note I hope episode 3 gives us a hell of a fight with the god-generals and continue the harrasment and mistreatment of Mieu, plus

Spoiler:

Guy's introduction to Tear for the first time.

Hillarity guaranteed.

[Peanutbutter]

Another on my list. I've played the game, including the second time, though I didn't start on the post-game dungeon.

Who's this anon-bobu sub? Should I get it or wait for others?

This anime must include one thing:

Spoiler:

Jokes of Tear's breasts. Otherwise, this fails.

Not really, I'm digging the extra stuff they're putting in. It's like a non-playable Director's Cut.

I understand what you mean. I totally agreed with Luke's first reaction to Mieu.

I don't know. I think I'm a cruel bastard for finding that funny.

Mhmm... I think it's a fake, it isn't downloading :/

That will probably the only thing I will ever agree with him...oh gosh

[Scarlett_Rain55]

I hate seeing Mieu get beat up! But I heard Mieu is a masochist, so if he's happy I'm happy! =)

Same here, no seeds.

[Jazzrat]

Indignation right off the start, way to go Jade !

[Starks]

There's a decent raw up for ep2 now.

[neoeagle]

Here I come baby.

Just spotted another group (Weib) releasing this. The torrent works and the file is downloading fine so far.

Rawr, thanks. Found it, and I'm downloading at it at ~600kb/s now. Hopefully the sub is well done.

[Edit] And a moment later it dropped to ~50kb/sec...

Yeah, I am also going through some serious up and downs there. >_<!

Seems like this torrent only has 1 seed going for it.

I don't think my monitor can support 720p.

[Starks]

Weib is 99% likely to be a subpar fansub.

The group is also off a hilarious start:

1 DSL seed on the torrent = Hours of waiting for EVERYONE

[kujoe]

From fansubwiki:

Osu!
Yuurisan-Subs
Weib
Anonymous-Bobu44
Shinsen-Subs
XeON
Abyssal Chronicles
Anime-Share Fansubs
SD Project?

That's a good number, but I'm also not that familiar with any of them save for Shinsen. Osu! is ok, but they were also a bit inconsistent with World Destruction.

Does anyone have some thoughts regarding these groups? I usually go for the raws most of the time, but I would like to keep fansubbed episodes for this series.

[frubam]

That Indignation didn't really have much impact. There should have been a BIG explosion as Indignation should have enough force to at least destroy the ground it strikes on. It just felt like in the game, where you cast a novice spell.

[kaosmos]

i say go for shinsen,the few subs i watch(d-gray man,mostly) are from them,no complain till now.
but this is just me.
so....:

Spoiler for episode2:

anise is CUTE
ion is CUTE but heck his voice make my genderbending dream harder than before..erm..yeah..he sound...boy-ish.
mieu is CUTE-desu no!
tear is CUTE!
jade is overpowered as ever!
great episode overall!

say....since the episode 2 was aired as special...does that mean we'll have to wait 2 weeks for the 3 episode?
or will they air the 3 next week?

[Nightengale]

I'm seriously getting a redux of Kekkaishi vibes from the jist of the whole events that transpire following Tales of Abyss. Sudden one-hour special, late raws/unavailability of good raws, lack of consistent, trust-worthy fansubbing groups with a solid fanbase... ( -_-)

Anyway, Abyssal-Chronicles seems to have the OP and ED subbed and karaoke-d, but the actual episode is still in process.

You can view them here.

Spoiler for OP and ED:

No, MBS and CBC will air episode 3 next week. However, Tokyo MX (( the first station to air Abyss weekly )) will air episode 2 instead since it didn't feature the hour special.

So technically Abyss airs on Saturdays now.
