Due to capping issues, there's no ts available, so for now you get the share raw. Not that many of you could tell the difference anyway (￣－￣)フーン
For those of you keeping track, this episode has 800 lines.

Here ya goes.

Update: And here's the XviD. We'll have a real raw tomorrow so you'll likely see v2 of the HD version tomorrow evening. (XviD version is unaffected by the vfr asshattery that plagues share raws.)



And since this only airs once a month, you get a couple did-you-knows today:

Wait wait, excitement and plot in my railgun? What?

Here you go. 720p and 400p.

Update 2: Tracker back up. Sorry about that!

Batman she is not.


And today's did-you-know:


And yes, we're doing Angel Beats.

Those are bigass fireworks. How do I know? Glad you asked.

Assuming the constellation on the right side is a badly drawn Ursa Major, we can figure out the radial size of the firework by using the radial distance between Merak and Dubhe, which is generally accepted to be 5°.
Using the blue firework at the top as reference, we can see it is approximately 3x the radial distance = 15° in radius.
It appears at 00:12.763, and the sound is heard at 00:14.515, giving us a 1.752 second interval between explosion and when it reaches our ears. (Speed of light is negligible in this case.)
The speed of sound in 25°C summer air at 80% humidity is 347.65m/s, giving us ~609m distance to the firework's center.
Simple trigonometry tells us that its radius is then tan(15°)*609m = ~163m
This means the firework is about 1070 feet wide, or 3 times the length of a football field.
Addendum courtesy of Bored:
At 50 feet per shell inch, this means that this firework had a 21.4" shell. By comparison, the largest naval guns ever mounted were the 18" guns used on Yamato class battleships.

 

Here, verify it yourself. And it's a bit harder but you can still see the stars in the XviD too.

Oh, and the timer position has been filled. Thanks to all that inquired about it.

On a different note, did you know?

Busy day for the team... due to time zone issues, we're releasing with the share raw instead of our own for now. The v2 with our raw will come tomorrow.

On a totally different note, we're looking for a timer to help out next season on (probably) 2 series. The basic expectation is to have the episode timed within a couple hours after the TL is handed to them, which is usually a couple hours after the episode airs. A qualified timer knows about lead-in, lead-out, and how timing relates to basic encoding concepts like keyframes and scene changes. TS skills are a plus. If you're interested and think you're ready for the unpaid but rewarding pressure of working in a speedsubbing group, contact any of the ops in our irc channel. Yes, if you don't know how to use irc, you're not qualified.

Update:
Here's the much delayed v2. Note that you really only need this if your computer can't handle the VFR in the v1, as there are zero script changes. And here's the XviD.


Oh, and keep the anime/cartoon discussion to the other thread please. I've moved relevant posts there.

In a strange turn of events, the ts is missing the last 5 minutes of the ep o_O
As such, there is no 720 raw and we'll be releasing using a 576 high raw first, followed by our usual release tomorrow when MBS airs. The smart people will know why this makes no difference anyway.

UPDATE: HD version out!
Sorry it's a bit late. Here's some 720p goodness. And here's the XviD

Behold, how not to hold your violin:
