Go masturbate or do something more productive for society. Leave your basement instead of giving us information that we already fucking know. Oh, Hadena sucks? That's cool. Vacuum cleaners suck? Awesome. Doki is great? Nice to know. You have sand in your vagina? Good for you. Want a cookie?

Anyone that gives a damn should evaluate where they're going in their lives. If things come down to you bashing some shit fansubber to make you feel better about yourself, don't breed. It's not like you are anyway while you're typing away in your basement. Cancer like you disappear from the planet thankfully due to natural selection.
Shit is affirming that shit is shit. Cool story, Pedro, go make me some tacos.
first ^^
Have you even seen the comparision, they are way off "silver" instead of "gin"? how fucked up is that shit and in later episodes more trolling such as "These are the production of Hadena trolling" yea real quality subs right there.
Lol another hadena fanboy trying to make hadena look better than the shit they are. troll harder ass troll.

wait what??? hes dead?
I swear there's way too much censoring from tokyo mx as usual.  Is AT-X showing this series with less censoring hopefully?
everybody with half a brain who reads your comment will facepalm himself to death :P

hahahahaha....what will you expect...
and you too stupid..why are you here too??dropping by all over again just to comment stupid repeating crap crap crap ..
why even bother posting stupid comments when you shouldnt even be here..... .=)
Hadena are also a lot faster on average to put out their releases, certainly excuses any quality issues (if there were any).
Hadena, Hiryuu, Doki, Coppola, Horrible and AnimeSubs3503:

http://www.subcompare.com/oniichan_dakedo_ai_sae-/

In this sample of side by side screen shot comparisons of this show, Hadena's translations appear to be similar to the 4 other fansub versions presented and CR.  So are there any specific examples of Hadena errors or failures in this show that you can reference, or are you complaining about Hadena's past?  There was a time that Hadena produced strange, mechanical-like translations.  Their version of C3 is full of amazing examples of this.  But things changed around the time they did HighSchool DxD and Shining Hearts.  Their translations became similar in form and quality to other fansub versions.  For example, since Shining Hearts was a favorite of mine, I watched every episode of their version of it each week, as well as every episode of Hiryuu's version and every episode so far by WhyNot and rori (both still incomplete).  Hadena's version was similar in quality to these other fansubs, and actually the best and most insightful in certain key scenes, such as Rick talking to the foreign princess or the bar-keep's reason for staying, both in ep8.

So things and people change.  If you don't notice the changes, it's your loss.

HorribleSubs 720p can be hardsub if they ripped the show from Funimation, e.g. Kamisama Hajimemashita.
Great another shit crapdena release. Why even bother posting this shit when it shouldn't even be here.

Starting on the 27th Rapidshare is changing things up, read it here: https://rapidshare.com/#!rsag_news
Overview: 30GB of traffic per day and files in a shared folder accessible by only selected contacts

So don't be surprised if you no longer see RS or have to wait a day for the limit to be reset.

I'm eventually (soon it seems like) I'm going to have to change hosts...

Very informative! Thank you!
I don't understand how you see a contradiction in them at all - actually I don't really know what you mean.
Image complexity and encoding parameters are seperate things. I was referring to the fact that image complexity can have a large impact on bitrate required to achieve a certain level of quality. So, for example, a "simple" 30 minute video may only require 100MB to look excellent, whereas a "complex" 30 minute video may still look bad if given 400MB.

Encoding parameters certainly aren't a perfect way to judge an encode (or even that great, to be honest), I just said it was (almost always) better than looking at a file size, and can be seen by clicking on the file link above. It's the job of the encoding application to determine the best way to encode a particular input video, taking into consideration the desired level of quality/filesize tradeoff or speed/compression tradeoff, device compatibility etc. Encoders like x264 also allow you to add some subjective biases (eg favour textures over lines, blurring/blocking tradeoff) so in theory you could tweak these for whatever content you're encoding, but I find that in practice, these can be highly subjective, the defaults are usually quite sensible and you can't stray too far away from them, meaning that their impact is limited.

A note about rate control. Most people are probably familiar with the bitrate rate control, where you supply a specific target bitrate and the encoder will try its best to guess quality levels to meet this target. Bitrate based encodes allow you to predict the final file size of the file, and is useful if quality is a secondary consideration to, for example, fitting a certain number of episodes on a CD/DVD.
When file size isn't a concern though, you're probably better off not specifying a bitrate and using a rate factor rate control (crf in x264 terms) instead. With this, you specify a level of quality you're willing to lose (so a higher rate factor will give you lower quality). The encoder will then simply apply this value at the quality reduction (quantize) stage. Because of this, the file size can vary greatly and is usually difficult to predict, but you'll generally get a relatively consistent level of quality for the same rate factor.
You can get the rate factor used in the x264 parameters from the link above - in particular "rc=crf" (rate control = constant rate factor) and "crf=23.0" (rate factor value of 23 was used). Commie's version linked above also uses a rate factor, but crf=15, which means higher quality but larger file size.
Personally, a crf below 25 is quite acceptable for watching, as long as you're aren't trying to nitpick or look for defects. crf 15, I would consider to be transparent (indistinguisible from the source) to most people. YMMV
My own preference is to download the originals because I like the higher quality, so I certainly don't have a preference for these re-encodes. However I disagree with the statement that they are virtually unwatchable.
Este es un sitio en Inglés. Utilizar la lengua o utilizar el traductor de google.
For the first time in your quick and good work, I merely cannot but take out only the sigh of admiration.
Not to nit-pick, but aren't you contradicting yourself when you mention the importance of differences in data complexity but then say that you can draw conclusions about the quality of the encode from the parameters alone?  Wouldn't it be better to say that the quality of the encode is a question of finding and using the parameters that best fit the data being encoded?
I wish Nutbladder could have lived to see this.

File size or bitrate never was a good indicator of quality, so I'm not sure why people seem to believe in it. Especially so with animation and the fact that image complexity can vary greatly between titles and even episodes.

Looking at encoding parameters is probably a better indication on how good the encode is, but requires some knowledge of what they mean (hah, you have to know encoding to criticise encoding - makes sense to me).
"If u have issue wit only da audio showin up den u can try runnin in VLC becuz i think i fukt up encoding.

I think the author describes the language as "ebonics".  Nasty racial slurs, too.

First time I ever saw a torrent get sick and throw-up.
Ah, that's why one must engage in self education!

Or rather, it was originally posted as English, fetched here, then later corrected at Nyaa's end.
But at under 100MB for a 30min program it does qualify as mini-mkv class -the most extreme of encodes.  

The preview pictures look nice enough: focused, not a lot of banding.

Cancer is in the eye of the beholder.
Good connections should pretty much never drop out.
If your connection drops so often that you can't download anything of significant size without interruption, I'd suggest:
- looking into resumable downloads and a downloader that can handle these
- using torrents; torrents typically download in ~256KB sized chunks, and perform hash checks on each, ensuring you don't get corruption
I haven't watched this, but from the encoding parameters, I wouldn't call a [email protected] crf 23 encode "eye cancerous" by any stretch of the imagination.

It's a bit disturbing I agree, but unfortunately, there's not that much that can be done here. Disabling comments wouldn't stop them from sprouting up elsewhere.
I don't mind discussion, but do hope that they contain worthwhile content rather than pointless bickering.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with the comments made here, whether it's for interesting tidbits of information or issues shared by others. Some of them turn out to be somewhat less desirable, though these seem to be the minority at the moment, and it's one of the tradeoffs you make with open commenting I guess.
If you think they're totally worthless though, I can't imagine it being too difficult to simply ignore them.

Thanks for putting your concern through nonetheless. If you do have any other suggestions I'm always interested to hear them.

I don't really like blanket filters like these.
RARs can be useful for any sort of packages - patches, cover scans etc.

But perhaps the main issue is that it doesn't actually stop viruses showing up.

It seems they deleted our account, so presumably all FileCloud links are dead.
This is one of the reasons I generally don't like services that require you to register - it's too easy for them to simply delete your account.

I'd say that ideally, the miniHD versions should include chapters and multiple subtitle tracks, but I guess people don't really bother.
I suppose that including multiple fonts can get large too.
all except ep01, peejeshare is out...

this should be good, thanks AT and thanks deadfish, have a good weekend.
Interesting.  This is about the 8th version of this "FileEncrypt.exe" virus.  But this time they monitored the Nyaa release of a real newly subbed mkv title, then used that name in a rar archive along with a stealth virus that appears to target personal and financial records, according to Norton Internet Security.  Then they resubmitted this new package anonymously to Nyaa so that people might think it was, or confuse it with, the original actual release.

So someone is putting some extra thought and effort into stealing your personal and financial records.

Here's the Nyaa entry for the real release:

http://sukebei.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentin...tid=186187

That link leads to an mkv file submitted to Nyaa by the group who subbed the show.  But if you click the link on the top of the page here at AT instead you will see a rar package with the same name that was submitted anonymously.


There are one or two simple rules that will keep you clear of any scheme.

1. Media files (mkv, mp4, avi, jpg, etc.) should arrive as media files with those suffixes, not as something else that has to be converted with special included software.

2. Never run any other type of file: Not exe, or bat, or even doc (there used to be some Office macro viruses), except Adobe pdf.

If it arrives in an archive, it should be un-packable by Windows or 7zip and not any need any specially included software.

But the easiest rule for now would be to stay away from any rar archives.

Also check the nyaa source link to check its under english translated anime ,occasionally files like these https://animetosho.torrentbay.st/view/xfsub-naru...p4.n371945 slip through that are under non-english translated anime.HS 480p releases are  hardsubbed if i remember rightly as well.
Signal drop happens on land lines. Unless they are downloading something that takes more than 30 min. and gets interrupted most people don't notice it. If you try and download something that takes several hours it's just rolling the dice.

Horriblesubs are softsubbed,if you want to stream type mp4 into the searchbox and look for the episode.A lot of them  of those [deadfish,youshikibi,etc] hardsub  & re-encode other groups stuff to a lower quality & mp4 so they will play on media devices that don't support softsubs or mkv.If you you click on the File Name (Size) info link on the Episode you want to watch and there is no Text ID info  [ass/ssa/srt,VOB,PGS,etc] info showing then it is most likely hardsubbed and will should stream okay.

Hmmm. I used PutLocker for Zutsuen no Tempest, but it didn't work, tried it for Code Breaker and it worked (both from HS). So I'm assuming that not all shows they do are hardcoded.
I also tried out several DeadFish releases and all of them worked, so if you do run into an issue they should fine.

Thank you Anon for the clarification.
Watch for some reduced file size mp4 re-encodes, if that works for you,  or for a 480p release.  This is an anticipated title and should have lots of releases to suite various needs.

With "signal drop", I guess you're relying on mobile access.  Some anime sites offer streaming services, if that's a better option.

No mobile for me yet.  I'll just have to settle for my dull 40MB/sec landline...
