Floral Magician Mary Bell 26 was trasnalted/edited/timed/typeset, but we are going to update the script as we found a few problems.
The first half ("Part A") of Goldfish Warning! 09 was translated, and now to be edited.
Since we had to concentrate on Hime-chan's Ribbon, the other projects may be more or less delayed.
Meanwhile, we are starting to multisub The Star of Cottonland v2 (there will be Swedish and Malay),
and Goldfish Warning! (French, Swedish, Cantonese, Malay, Spanish, Dutch (maybe), etc...).
If you speak a rare language and happen to be a huge fan of SoC and/or GfW,
you might want to add your translation :) For more information, please PM an Op, or email us.

[FIX] Softsubs by MPC's internal subtitler is now frame-accurate.
[NEW] .mp4 support.
Unlike softsubs by VSFilter, MPC's internal softsubs were sometimes (not always) off by 1 frame. This was not MPC's bug, but is VMR's problem. The fix for this problem, which Gabest called "nasty but elegant hack," is obviously important for fansubbers and anime fans, especially for those who often watch softsubbed OGM or MKV using MPC's internal subtitler (VMR 7/9 Renderless).

After a while a new version of Sabbu BETA was released. However Sabbu's installer doesn't like GTK 2.8.6. I was told that "Sabbu requires a newer version of GTK to be installed. Click Yes to continue and upgrade your GTK to version 2.6" although I had a much newer versioin of GTK installed already. You may have to uninstall your GTK first to make Sabbu's installer happy. But Sabbu itself seems to work with GTK 2.8.6.
FileZilla 2.2.17 was released too.
Pictures from TMM 50-52 have been added to the TMM Section: tmm50 | tmm51 | tmm52 (Last)
Now that we finished TMM, we are going to sub Hime-chan no Ribbon as the next (after-tmm) project. Actually the first Episode was already translated. Now the typesetter/encoder is working on, among other things, the title logo.

libmplayer.dll was buggy in ffdshow-20050920: libmplayer.dll in this installer should be okay. Fixed by celtic_druid himself.
ffdshow-20050920.exe for testing
Temporary things:
Kuu Rai Sen Puu Jin, the name of Pai's attack, is ambiguous in meaning, as it's a "made-up" word by uniting five On-yomi kanjis, and each On-yomi kanji generally has a lot of homonyms when spoken (when written this ambiguity would be gone).
空雷旋風陣 "Sky-Thunder-Whirl-Wind-Zone" is probable, but Sen might be 閃 (flash) or 尖 (piercing) or 扇 (fan--this is quite possible too, as in Kuu Rai Sen*, which is actually written as 空雷扇 in the original manga [See Kodansha Comics, vol.6]), Puu might be 封 (closing, trap), and Jin might be 刃 (knife) or 塵 (dust) or 尽 (ultimate).
* The manga version only has Kuu Rai Sen, whereas the anime version apparently has both Kuu Rai Sen and Fuu Rai Sen, but we may be wrong.
"T-0.3.13 is a maintenance release; we've switched back to the lastest Python and updated wxPython; hopefully this should solve a lot of the problems. I'm hoping it solves the stuck-in-memory problem too, though I'm not holding my breath. If it doesn't work expect a release packaged with older Python/wxPython versions to try and fix it again."
ffdshow-20050909-MSVC71.exe Slightly slower, but more reliable.
ffdshow-20050909.exe Slightly faster, but less reliable.
celtic_druid himself says, "We are talking just ffdshow.ax here. ICL9 [the 'normal' build] from all reports so far is faster, it however crashes on one particular sample [AVC, High Profile]. There could also be other issues." Sharktooth confirms "SPP on the ICL build is unuseable on athlon CPUs." bob0r recommends the MSVC build, saying "Agreed, just tested ffdshow-20050822.exe and it crashes mpc with my x264 encodes (AMD XP 1800+ CPU). With ffdshow-20050822MSVC71.exe no playback problems," "stability comes first."
This build is not by celtic_druid, and apparently buggy. Don't use it.

XviD vs SNOW
vs x264 vs VP7
Inspired by MeGUI, I tested SNOW 2-pass by encoding the same anime OP (opening clip) with about 20 different settings. I also asked a few people using different CPUs to try to play the resulted file on Windows 2000 or XP. One of the interesting results was, it doesn't play smoothly with ffdshow+Athlon 64 3200+, but it plays fine using CPU-optimized mplayer.
I'd say, if (hypothetically) XviD scored 100 points and x264 scored 130 points, SNOW and VP7 would get 120 ~ 125 points. Maybe it's a bit unfair to compare x264 and SNOW now: I read that one of the essential parts of SNOW, Overlapped Block Motion Compensation (OBMC), has not yet been implemented. This OBMC thing seems to be great. Besides, deblocking in x264, which is often problematic, works exceptionally well for anime. SNOW was, however, obviously better than XviD quality-wise in this test. Of course XviD is much better about the encoding speed, the CPU load in decoding, and stability. As rough indicators (not necessarily reflecting the perceived quality), lumi-wise error-free pixels for XviD/SNOW/VP7/x264 were 42%, 58%, 64%, 69.5% respectively, chroma-wise error-free pixels were 66%, 73%, 78%, 79%.

The Star of Cottonland [h-b] 7 languages [1B5836F0].mkv is a Matroska (MKV) file. It is softsubbed in 7 languages, and you can switch the subtitles.
How to play it on Windows 2000/XP: Gabest's Media Player Classic (MPC) is recommended, but you can use Microsoft Windows Media Player 9/10 too. ZoomPlayer should work too. Install Lazy Man's MKV unless you want to use Haali's splitter (if you are not sure, just install Lazy Man's MKV). BsPlayer is buggy but may work with Haali's splitter. ffdshow is recommended, but you can use XviD decoder too.
For the best result, try true color by checking only RGB32 and RGB24 in the ffdshow video decoder settings (Start | Programs | ffdshow | video decoder configuration | Output).
Read more about "software true color".
snow-tmm2200.zip Codec=SNOW, Video Only (No Audio), 24.3MB
Snow is an experimental wavelet-based codec made by the FFmpeg developers, and while it is still in heavy development, it is already giving very good results.
This sample is created by MEncoder dev-CVS-050813-01:18-3.4.4 with this commandline:
mencoder input.avs -ovc lavc -passlogfile "tmm.log" -lavcopts vcodec=snow:vqscale=1:vpass=1:vstrict=-2:cmp=257:subcmp=257:mbcmp=257 -o NUL: mencoder input.avs -ovc lavc -passlogfile "tmm.log" -lavcopts vcodec=snow:vpass=2:vbitrate=2200:vstrict=-2:cmp=257:subcmp=257:mbcmp=257 -o snow-tmm2200.avi -of avi -ffourcc SNOW
-ovc = Output Video Compressor, lavc = libavcodec (ffmpeg, ffdshow), -lavcopts = libavcodec options, vstrict < 0 = Don't be so strict, just do what I told you, I'm doing this at my own risk.
SNOW is still alpha, and unstable, but it's not bad... the overall quality is perhaps about the same as that of XviD.
It was down yesterday.
fyi, SoC is on boxtorrents too.

If your CPU is powerful enough, try VMR9 (renderless) on MPC; otherwise use Overlay Mixer. (Hit [o] to open the Options box on MPC.) VMR7 is not bad either on Windows XP. Don't use VMR 7/9 on ZoomPlayer.
VMR9 (renderless) enables MPC's internal sub renderer, which is the highest-quality especially in the full-screen mode. However, you might want to check this checkbox so that the reuslt will be compatible with VSFilter (DirectVobSub).
Also, if you are going to use MPC's sub renderer, you should disable subtitles from VSFilter:
If you use VSFilter, unchecking "Pre-buffer subpictures" (see the picture above) will enable dynamic effects such as fading, karaoke (not as CPU-intensive as MPC's renderer). On MPC, Number of subpictures to buffer ahead (see the picture below) is 3 ~ 6 by default. If your CPU is really fast (2GHz+), set this value 0, and dynamic effects are enabled in softsubs.
For the best result, Maximum texture resolution should be "Desktop" but if your CPU is not very fast, use smaller values.
To get the easter-egg wall papers, hit [Shift]+[F10] on MPC, or use the shell extension.

The Star of Cottonland [h-b] 7 languages [1B5836F0]__RC3.mkv
The Star of Cottonland (SoC, aka Wata-Kuni) is actually already ready to release. However, we are waiting for a while because yet another langauge, Italian, might be added.
The final version will be muxed on Monday, 22 August 2005 (UTC). If the Italian translator makes it, Italian subs will be added.
So, unless anything unexpected happens, SoC will be out around Wednesday.
SoC.mkv has 6 easter-egg (hidden) wallpapers as matroska attachments. These sample pictures show how they would look like on your desktop (Click to enlarge).
The Star of Cottonland will be probably released around this weekend.

Tokyo Mew Mew 49 is almost ready, and should be released this weekend or on Monday.
We QC'ed RC1, fixed a few minor problems, and re-encoded and QC'ed RC2 yesterday. Although RC2 is of releasable quality, we decided to update the script again to fix a few, very minor things found, and to add a short note about the places referred in the episode (Omotesando and Sumida River: they are real places in Tokyo). It won't take more than a few hours to re-encode, since we are caching the intermediate (filtered) data using a lossless codec.
UPDATE: RC3 QC OK.
Goldfish Warning! 6 is basically ready too. RC1 was encoded today.

Overwrite \Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\etc\pango\pango.aliases by our pango.aliases. If the problem is not fixed, overwrite \Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc by our gtkrc. If you prefer a larger fontsize, use gtkrc in font-size-larger.
Our "pango.aliases" file is optimized for the typical case (Unicode SSA/ASS including some Japanese). If Chinese or Korean is more important than Japanese for your job, edit your pango.aliases and use this line:
# Only if Chinese or Korean is more important than Japanese Tahoma = "Tahoma,browallia new,mingliu,simhei,gulimche,msgothic,latha,mangal"

Hime-chan no Ribbon (姫ちゃんのリボン, 1992) is a magical girl anime series based on a manga (by the same name) by Mizusawa Megumi (水沢めぐみ); first serialized in Ribon magazine. It is similar in genre to "Magical Stage Fancy Lala," and "Fullmoon o Sagashite."
The series stars Nonohara Himeko, a very energetic juniorhigh tomboy, whose life suddenly changes with her fateful meeting of Erika, princess of the Magic Kingdom. For Erika to eventually become Queen of the Magic Kingdom, she must create a useful magical item. And himechan, as Erika's non-magical double, is required by the laws of the Magic Kingdom to test the item. So himechan is entrusted for a period of 1 year to test a magical ribbon that can turn her into any person she wants for 1 hour. All she has to do is stand infront of a mirror and say the magic words. But it's never quite that easy. To help keep her on the right track, Himechan's oldest toy Pokota is brought to life to be her magical companion.
The series progresses as Himechan discovers ever more creative ways to get into trouble using the magic ribbon, learning a lot about herself and the people around her in the process.

Music for the series is done by SMAP, who even makes a few guest appearances in the anime.

Two known problems in the previous build are fixed now.
The following memo is about the newest, experimental build, ffdshow-20050510.exe.
I think it's buggy for MPEG-2. Namely, Codec - MPEG2 - libmpeg2 is broken ( - libavcodec is OK), which can be a fatal problem if you use ffdshow for MPEG2/VOB.
EDIT: Okay, I reported it to the builder, Celtic_Druid, and a few more users confirmed the problem. The fixed versioin by celtic_druid is out: libmpeg2_ff.7z. Unzip it with 7-zip and you'll get libmpeg2_ff.dll. So replace the original libmpeg2_ff.dll in the system directory with it. This is a must if you want to play your MPEG2/VOB thru libmpeg2 in this ffdshow, otherwise you might want to ignore this problem.
Celtic_Druid compiled this 1 or 2 hours ago (around 3:00 UTC): ffdshow-20050510.exe. The file name says 20050510 but it's today's build.
You are free to test it, but it might be buggy. We need to test it and wait for feedbacks for a while before we say this version is okay. Please consider ffdshow-20050406.exe (celtic_druid) as the recommended version until further notice. (NOTE: There are 2 different files called ffdshow-20050406.exe, one is stable, the other is bad. To make a long story short, use our links.)
Use SSP (a compatible platform) instead of the original Ukagaka system.
Ghosts for ukagaka should run on SSP too, and the menu language is switchable in SSP.
Even though this is only for menu and Ghosts speak in Japanese anyway,
you can try it out as long as the menu is in English, right?
ssp24f.zip 4.95MB
If I have time, I'd like to make a ghost which speaks in another language, such as in English or in Finnish.
Check out the BT page. There is a super fast bot waiting for you in the channel too. Read more about it and feel free to join the chan. It is worth trying even if you are new to IRC, and it's actually easy too.
In case you didn't know yet, we put a short essay about the 3 different drawing-styles in "Goldfish Warning!" a few days ago. It might be an interesting reading if you are a big fan of this show.
We have now [HB]SuryeBot in #honobono, providing many files including the ones that are not on the BT page.
This is the current list. (More files to be added.)

This is a bot, and you can use it very easily.
First, join #honobono at irc.aniverse.com. Let's say you want
#3 49x [175M] Goldfish Warning! (DVD) - 03 (C564F8FD)
then, type
/msg [HB]SuryeBot xdcc send #3
That's it. (Hit [Enter] or the return key to send that command to the channel. Don't hold [Ctrl] when you do that.)
On some IRC clients, "copy and paste" doesn't work. In that case, you should type manually, letter-by-letter:
/msg [HB]SuryeBot xdcc send #X
X is the number of the pack you need. Note that the command begins with a slash (/), with no preceding spaces. The number X may change when files are added or removed, so you should check the most up-to-date list before requesting.
New to IRC? IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a virtual meeting place where people from all over the world can meet and talk
.
(NOTE: You can talk with other people in the channel, but that doesn't mean you must talk.
In fact, most users are there without talking anything. Some of them are "lurking."
Such a behavior is totally okay, and actually very usual on IRC.)
Read "What is IRC?" Basically, like you use a broswer like Firefox or Internet Explorer to browse webpages (i.e. to use HTTP servers), you need an IRC client like mIRC, Chatzilla, etc to use IRC servers. They are not difficult to use. Read the step-by-step guide, How to install mIRC.
The server we are using is irc.aniverse.com, and the channel name is #honobono.
*happy happy happy*
Check the Kin-Chuu page too (though not updated yet).
Get it from the BT page or join the chan. We put some pics from Ep. 46 on the TMM page.
This fandub (check the fandub section at Neko-Tokyo) is not our project (although possibly based on our script), but is interesting.
I happened to get a WMV clip called bloopers_01.wmv, where someone (obviously not a Japanese speaker) was trying hard to sing TMM ED. fandub_kara.zip (3.2MB)

We have just released Floral Magician Mary Bell 18. Get it from the BT page or join the chan.
Do not use ffdshow-20050328 or ffdshow-20050406 (v1). They are probably problematic. Recommended builds are ffdshow-20050312 or ffdshow-20050406 (v2) by Celtic_Druid.
You might want to update your DirectX 9.0c too, although this is not a must.
If your CPU is fast enough, try and use RGB32 true color output for the best quality possible when you watch anime. This short guide explains what the problem is and how you can solve it.
A new project--Goldfish Warning! or きんぎょ注意報！ Kingyo Chuuihou (Kin-chuu). Read Carlos Ross's nice review, and check animenfo.
Apparently the animators who made Sailor Moon were huge fans of this show. Visit this quickly-made page and check out some of the hidden references in Sailor Moon.
This show, based on 猫部ねこ Nekobe Neko's manga, was first aired in 1991.
Get it from the BT page or from the chan. We have a fast bot, jouji-serv. Enjoy!
The Star of Cottonland (SoC), or Wata no Kuni-Hoshi (Wata-Kuni) is our current multisub project.
Current Status: eng 100%, spa 100%, rus 60%, fre 50%, fin 35%, dut 15%, ger ?, nor ? (If you would like to add your language, please feel free to talk to an Op in the chan.)
We've added a small fanpage in Spanish.
Apparently irc.aniverse.com has been unstable since around 07:30 UTC, 13 April 2005.
Check the Details of IRC network 'Aniverse'.
As of now (09:33 UTC), I can get on the server.
It's not like we forgot TMM. The editor who was supposed to edit tmm46 happens to be very busy now, but tmm46 is already translated 100% and (roughly) edited anyway. Should be coming before long.

Quite a few people use Media Player Classic (MPC) in the "VMR 9 (renderless)" mode on Windows 2000. VMR 9 is high quality, with very powerful softsub support, but you have to customize the ffdshow settings to get the best result in this mode.
If you use the default settings, probably the colors you see are not correct--hazy and grayish.
This guide explains how to customize ffdshow to faithfully reproduce the colors in MPC's "VMR 9 (renderless)" mode on Windows 2000.
Highest Quality Playback using the "VMR 9 (renderless)" mode
The server irc.aniverse.com was down for 9 hours on 1 April 2005. It is now back again (for the current status, check Details of IRC network 'Aniverse'. ), but you must re-register your nick.
Furthermore, the access lists are gone, which means, ChanServ won't AutoOp/AutoHop/AutoVoice you anymore even though you were originally in the access list. This problem should be fixed sooner or later by re-registering the data manually.
-Pomax- To everyone currently connected: While it isn't clear why, an intentional reboot has resulted in the services databases being destroyed. For all intents and purposes this should have been impossible, but that doesn't help us now. You'll have to reregister your channels and nicknames. For those that needs ops in their channels, you can reach us in #help.
Welcome to the aniverse server help channel. To put your minds less at ease, we lost all the services databases. We don't know why, and we can't explain it. What we can do is help you reclaim your channels. This is not an april's fool.
We are using DVD raws for Floral Magician Mary Bell, but DVD itself is not very HQ--actually quite noisy. Can't be helped. This show is from 1992. So, for the highest quality possible, all the frames are checked and, if needed, manually retouched. Usually a few hundreds frames / ep are more or less retouched.
Read more about How Crazy A Fan Could be
We are multisubbing The Star of Cottonland (綿の国星 Wata no Kuni-Hoshi), charming anime about a kitten who thinks she is a little girl. Read more about it.
There are going to be at least English, Russian, and Spanish subs, and probably Finnish, French, German, and Italian subs, and possibly Dutch, Slovak, and Norwegian subs too. (If you are interested in adding your language, please talk to an OP in the channel.)
Here's a quickly made page of a few, nice Mary Bell cosplay photos.
Apparently, the cosplayer is from Chinese-speaking area, and nicked よちよちＧ３ (Yochi Yochi G3). She did a great job.
It was finally released. Also enjoy some pics from mb16.

Who is "the Blue Knight" (ao no kishi)?! One thing that is sure is he is not Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon. ...Eh?
Enjoy some pics from ep.45 (no spoilers).

Some pics from ep.44.

some pics from mb15.
xagnam now has torrents for the TMM textless (creditless) OP, and the high-quality karaoke clip ("Glider," the inserted song for ep.43).
Happy new year!
We upped some pics from tmm43 here:
http://honobono.sphosting.com/tmm43/
By the way, we recommend to use ffdshow or XviD 1.0.3 even for DivX. Basically, DivX 5 is spyware, and problematic in many ways. Try to avoid using it.
Check the torrents page for the video file.
