Hey sianut, thanks for subbing this one.
If you prefer not to do the timings, you can pm me your email contact or something, and I'll send you the timings that way(I still can't pm you).

Thanks,

since you are asking for preferences, here are mine.

my preference #1: any format that is an open standard. wmv is not.

my preference #2: small files. jtv often releases great quality in only 350 MB, and 2 of those fit on a CD. even the recent ainori is a complete episode in 186 MB with nice quality! many people have low bandwidth and disk space. size does matter! Smile

anyway, thanks for asking and welcome to d-addicts.

Don't laugh at my ignorance! Tongue

~___~

In my experience "Windows Media--anything" is far from the best equipment to use...

From what I've heard, XVID is the best to use for video compression.

I also don't care for .wmv..... a .avi file or .mkv (no whining!) is a lot better, IMHO. ...if you change the format for any of the other episodes, please upload ep1 in the new format... or not. You're too bloody cool to take any requests. Laugh

The file size seems to be all right... though it might be nice to see it in a higher resolution, it's not really necessary.

*runs off to download*

EDIT: I'm pretty much techno-illiterate, so I can't very well offer to help you... but I am an English Major, so if you need any help with spelling or grammar checking, lemme know.

siantut, thanks for your dedication!!I'm actually quite happy to watch this series
I didn't know the manga at all, but i found the 1st ep really funny and enjoyable. I really like the way thay come in each other life so spontaneously!The scene when Chiaki cleans nodame's room really cracked me up, and I found the scene whre he washes her har really sweet!The actors made a good job and I look forward seeing the next ep!!
I just find Eita is growing too old to play a student lol

Yipee, I finally found something to watch this season. And it got picked up by a fast and competent subber. Lucky! cheers

siantut, thank you for giving us a good show, I look forward to enjoying it with you. I wanted to watch your hardsub version because it had the commercials included, but if it's too much of a hassle for you, don't stress yourself over it.

I'm betting on this show to become the season's hit, both in Japan and in the d-addicts community. If they don't stray too far from the manga, it should be a safe bet.

Well, I don't mind if the stray a bit from the manga... like, say, ignoring the whole Okuyama Masumi character.... though I suppose having a human actor could give the role some much needed... gender deffinition.

EDIT: The re-timed subs still seem to be a little off.... well, at least the 1st set I d/led.

I d/led two others (from the first post of the topic in the subtitles section) but they cause VLC to crash... I'm currently updating VLC... but I'm wondering what program everyone else is using to watch this?

I ran VLC 0.8.5 to watch this....it also crashed on the first attempt. But upon loading a 2nd time, there wasn't a problem. I've never had a problem with VLC parsing ssa sub files before though....wonder why it's happening

Got it working now....

I have to say, I'm really suprised at how good it is. I've always hated Masumi in the manga... but his counterpart here looks so much... the same, that I think I just may like it.

It's a great show, but part of me feels like the guy playing Chiaki doesn't quite look right for the role....

Other than that, keep up the good work, I anxiously await ep.2!

I'm very like this drama.
After watching the first episode, i searched the web to find if there is any (translated) manga sold in my country. Laugh

Luckily, they have released vol.4 since August. cheers

I like the scene that Chiaki cleans Nodame's room, cooks and washes her hair toooo.

Also, the man who plays Chiaki, at first before I read the sub, I thought he is a teacher. Big Smile

I love Classical Music. Laugh
