Hyouka 07


Today we have Toyosaki Aki channeling the Yui, and Satou Satomi channeling the Ritsu (more than usual). And of course, Nakamura Yuuichi being more Nakamura Yuuichi (does he have any other role?)

Episode 7: 720p | 480p

The Ghost, When Examined

The Japanese have an old adage, "Yuurei no shoutai mitari kare obana," which literally means "The ghost, when examined, was just withered flowers." The premise is that though you think something is one way, it actually is another. In the case of the ghost, the fear is just in your head. In the case of another person...

A.Crushwaiting on that Penguin re-encode!
skyhackThanks. Injecting immediately.
KemmI'll try my luck tomorrow with the 480p.
anonymousIt took me nearly a full 10 seconds to notice it was a gif. Yeah, I'm tired.

Thanks for the release!
KyzelThank you very much!
EruThanks for the release.

I don't know about you guys but the first five episodes reaching a crescendo in uncle I(ce) (s)cream were interesting. Six was a throwaway but if the series were going anywere seven should have been the start of some big mystery where everyone shows their talents forcing all the characters to mature. Doesn't look like it though ...
SageI wish someone would translate the writing on Chitanda's face near the beginning.
KalThanks guys!
cmq@eru
You could take a look at the light novel, if you do, you will understand what the 6-7 chapters are, the next one is bound to be that interesting as you were saying.

penguin-feverI'll have the tiny 720p MP4 up tomorrow! In the meanwhile, Sol et al, as requested last week, placate yourself with Accel World (http://www.mediafire.com/?6k86kj48m5e56) or Sakamichi no Apollon (http://www.mediafire.com/?2539w0ww73vkj). Why the delay? Blame me for not being at home, slow internet, slow computer, fast life, arctic winters, annoying self-centered newspaper birds, etc.

Still waiting for Shirokuma to add tuna delight to his menu like he did Panda's bambu.
macxxx007Oh, TOO COOL!

Thanks for the delivery and please have a good night!
XenoperiThanks for the weekly dose of Mazui!
A.Crush@penguin-fever:

Is that tomorrow in the early AM, or tomorrow in the afternoon/evening? Just wondering if staying up will catch the release if it's in the next few hours.
ggggI'll have the 720p mp4 up in an hour or so. Some slight sacrifices in terms of a/v quality had to be made to achieve target file size, but it should suffice if you're watching it on your laptop.
gggghttp://www.mediafire.com/?j7k2kcpp6k5rxuf

Here you go, enjoy.
RocksIt was great. Thanks for the 480p.
A.Crush@gggg

Thanks for the re-encode, though why a target file size? Most of us just want a 720 re-encode so it's 8-bit and will look better on our rigs than 10-bit, not because we need a smaller file.
ggggMediafire only takes sub-200mb files, and a regular re-encode would probably be close to 400mb and thus take forever to upload. So thus the file size :)
@ggggAh, makes sense. Pretty decent video quality, audio was almost better with seemingly enhanced low frequencies. Only bad parts were the chapers showing up on-screen below the subs, and some overlapping subs, but that may have been in the original.
Clannad_92well, i agree that Yuuichi Nakamura being himself...

btw thanks for the torrent~
Dat ki ni narimasu ChitandaThank you guys.
Sol@Penguin-Fever

Holy cow!! You really went and did Apollon?! Sweeeeet!!

Thanks~

Sol@ Penguin-Fever

Ah, just caught up to last weeks thread. Forgot to ask which sub group's the re-encodes are based on? Horrible, Commie, WhyNot??
whbDat Oreki

Anyway, good job for this week guys!
I'm saving that animated gif

btw, Nakamura Yuuichi channels Hatori from Sekaichi
JessicaThe very last line spoken by Oreki wasn't translated!
penguin-feverSorry it took so long. I was away all day... It's updating at its usual place. 145MB, 720p.

Life is wonderful, and so is arctic weather. And treats. Like Hyouka. Hmmm, "You scream, I scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!" after all -- a common song where I grew up.
penguin-fever@Sol: Yeah, it was Commie, which is based off CrunchyRoll, which apparently is pretty good with this show. Very interesting show by the way...
Ephraimcan you upload 480p format of all the episodes of hyouka in mediafire? please. thankss :)
OscarThank you, Mazui team, for the latest release.

In addition to translation accuracy, one of the other reasons why I have preferred Mazui's releases since the group was founded is its minimalist typesetting style. It shows respect for the original arts without being intrusive and overbearing on the viewer's screen.

As such, I am personally shocked to discover usage of non-transparent textboxes that block rectangular signs in their entirety in episode 7 of Hyouka. Not only do these typeset textboxes look ugly and out of place (e.g. 15:13), they severely distract viewer's attention from everything else that is displayed in the video frame.

I sincerely hope that Mazui will continue to maintain its high quality typesetting style and techniques, and that we will not see non-transparent textboxes being used again in future Mazui releases.

Best regards,

A Mazui Fan
Sol@Mazui: Once again, thanks for the subbing this.

@Penguin-kun: Once again, thanks for re-encoding this and Apollon.
@MAZUIthnks for the release guys!!!
cheezeburgerzyay! *gets*
penguin-fever@gggg:

Although it may be tempting to target a certain filesize to get around the restrictions of a sharing site, the quality can really take a hit. Take a look (zoom in by pressing "Ctrl +"):

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/128894/

Overall, the constrained bitrate produces a much dirtier image (especially noticeable in motion). Picture #1 shows in-focus line smudging/vanishing and smearing throughout (hair and entire bus ceiling), #2 shows out-of-focus mottling, #3 shows subtitle rendering issues and clobbering of solid edges, #4 shows severe blocking problems (notice the briefcase), #4/#5 show blocky gradient banding, #6 shows Chitanda's outline completely missing.

So what to do?! Well, I suggest encoding as normal (perhaps with higher encoding settings) and uploading it in 2 parts as a split archive. 7-zip and WinRAR both have this feature. Hope that helps!
Ramothanks guys ... good jab ...
Sky SapphireMayaka's explanation at ~3m03s is so for-the-idiot-viewers rather than smooth dialogue. That's an instance of quite bad planning on production team's part.
ichigo_daisukiI always look forward to your releases of Hyouka, so thank you for the past seven episodes and to the 15 that follow!

@penguin-fever
Thanks for the mp4 re-encode ;) Also, thanks for Sakamichi no Apollon as well ;) Now if you'd only do Kuroko no Basket too, my life would be complete XD

demon8796episode 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D
cant wait.. btw, whats the closest time schedule for the weekly upload of the files?
vSDvNiJLtEHVU a0a0 This review is from: I had the wrudeofnl opportunity to visit Germany and Austria for two weeks (I just got back two days ago, in fact), and one of the most poignant memories was my trip to KLB, or Konzentration Lager Buchenwald. Better known simply as Buchenwald, it was a labor camp filled primarily with political prisoners, Gypsies, Jews, homosexuals and other untermenschen , distinguishing it from the death camps of Auschwitz and Dachau. Despite it's nature as a mere labor camp, thousands died there and were incenerated in the specially constructed crematorium there (which, ironically enough, was placed in viewing distance of the specially contructed zoo and pleasure zone built for the officers' families). Walking through those silent halls and down the treaded paths of history, I was struck for the first time in my life of the awful truth that was the Holocaust not simply that 6 million Jews were eradicated, along with millions of others. 6 million is simply a number, full of sound and fury, but also signifying nothing. To understand the Holocaust (if one can understand such a thing at all), you simply have to look into the cell of a soon to be dead prisoner; to stand in the mustering ground of the prisoners' barracks and feel the hard gravel crunch beneath your feet; to peer into the terrifyingly etched interior of a human oven and let your mind try to wander its way through it all; to imagine, at the end of all other imaginings, what it must've felt like to live HERE. Not 6 million. Just you. Or someone you love.THAT'S why Anne Frank and her diary will live on. Not because it' s a well written example of literary prowess. Not because it has a magnificent plot. Not because it has lasting value as a work of literature. It will live on because it's the voice of so many people who went voiceless, who went into the night, into the dark, to be shot from behind or in front, blindfolded or eyes open, gassed in sterile shower rooms or tortured to death in the name of science. I've read some of the reviews here, and the majority of those who gave this book anything less than five stars usually point to the diary's defecincies in the interesting section. Time and time again, that's exactly why I found this book to be so engrossing whatever faults it has comes from the writer not being a writer! She was a girl, on verge of her flowering into womanhood, full of the hopes and dreams and fears we all are at that age. Whatever picture this book paints is one of her, to remind us not only of who she was and that she was real but also to remind us of those 6 million (and more, so many more, in those ghastly 6 years of death) silent voices. The trip to Buchenwald was not totally disenheartening. In the middle of the mustering grounds is a small marker, maybe 4 feet by 4 feet, surrounding by a small collection of flowers and cards. It's made entirely of a steely gray metal, and in the middle of it is a small square with words on it: Albaner, Algerier, Andarraner, Argentinier, Agypter, Belgier, Baenier . These are the German names of all the nationalities of all the people who died in World War II. They comprise 60 different nationalities. At the bottom is written K.L.B. But the most spectacular thing happened when I touched the plaque it was warm.It's kept heated, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, in the depths of winter or in the middle of Germany's summer season, in the memory of all those who died. Our tour guide explained it to me, in his accented English: It stands for the warmth of those who have passed, the life. They are gone, yet this warmth remains. Life remains. That's why Anne Frank's diary is what it is: life remains because of it.
