Sakura Quest – 02
What we had in ep1 as “chupakabura” is now “chupacabra” due to its origins in Spanish and a shot in this ep which shows it written as such. It’s explained in the episode. In Japanese though, “cabra” is pronounced and written “kabura” which coincidentally means “turnip”, hence the turnip motifs on the castle and whatnot.
Recruiting Timers
I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise that a large number of FFF staff members have become more inactive or retired from fansubbing over the past year and a half or so, but we’ve become much more lacking in the timing department than any other. At this time, we have one active timer aside from myself. Although it’s been the area of the group that’s diminished the most, it’s affected us the least. This is only because I’ve been willing to personally time every show that none of our timers have wanted to so the rest of the group can pick up the shows they want. This season too, I’m timing both of our shows by default in time I’d rather spend working on the backlog of movies, OVAs, and BDs. Considering the number of other roles I have on our Spring shows and the fact that I won’t have as much free time soon, I thought it was time this changed.
Thus I decided to start an active recruitment drive. In particular, anyone interested in timing Sakura Quest or Saekano is strongly encouraged to apply. Please mention this in the final question on the form if you are.
I’d prefer applicants with prior timing experience in other groups. I won’t require it, but I don’t have time to teach people completely from scratch, and you will be tested upon applying. If you want to try teaching yourself to time, you’ll find unanimated’s timing guides useful. (The second guide is what you really need to know, but it has some assumed knowledge from the first.)
To apply, follow this link and complete the form.
Edit: We’ve managed to recruit a few people so I’m going to say we’re no longer actively recruiting timers. Of course, recruitment is still open to experienced subbers (it was never closed, in fact), and the link can be found in the FAQ as always. Thanks to everyone who applied.
Not a Plans Post
People seem to want an FFF plans post for the Spring season. This is not the plans post. This is a post to announce that there won’t be a plans post, because we have too few confirmed plans for there to be any point.
We’ll be doing the BDs for all our own shows from last season as usual, and at this point, no others. There are two other shows I’m considering, but don’t consider them picked up until you see me release them.
As for new shows, we’ll be subbing Sakura Quest.
I’m sure many want to know whether we’ll be subbing season 2 of Saekano since we did the first season. I don’t have an answer for that yet, but we might. If we release an episode, consider it picked up as well.
Gabriel DropOut – 06
Something something dancing stars.
A day late because the typesetter was busy yesterday and then the QC fell asleep early. The next two episodes will probably be a bit later than usual as well but I don’t know by how much. I will be away until the start of March and the main typesetter working on this will be away until the 23rd.
