Check it ouuut.
So when I finally calmed down from the massive stress that was this week, a bit of good luck came my way. I was offered a position as translator and editor for Nyoro~n fansubs. It's a small group (less than a half-dozen people) which serves as the largest distributor of subtitled episodes of Gundam 00 (pronounced Gundam Double-Oh), the new Gundam anime that's currently airing in Japan.
It's a massively distributed group--each episode is clocked at something like 30,000 downloads within the first 48 hours of release. I'm ecstatic that I've gotten the chance to work with them. Up until now it's been essentially a one-man operation on the translation end, with literally one guy doing all the translation, editing, timing, typesetting, subbing, etc. The fact that his work has been so absurdly well-distributed is a testament to how hard he's worked.
So now that there's some help on board, hopefully we can up the ante a bit and really turn out some high-quality subbing. I really recommend that you guys check it out--the show itself is actually not bad at all, and it's getting massive amounts of hype overseas (see the full-on Gundam00 special run by Newtype, below). Plus, it's not yet licensed in the US, so you won't feel guilty about downloading it illegally ;)
I start work on this Saturday's episode, so check back around Sunday night to see if it's up.
