| Anonymous | A real big THANK YOU MAZUI! |
| Anonymous | btw, wanna translate novels? 'w' |
| Greenskye | is it just me or is the link broken? |
| Greenskye | Nvm, figured it out :) |
| PapaGeorgio | Many thanks for all the effort you have put into this series. The finished product has always been amazing. I hope see you around this fall for Haruhi 3... I BELIEVE! |
| @Anonymous 2 | someone is already translating the novels... |
| JC | Just wanted to express a bit of gratitude, so thank you, Mazui, for all the hard work you guys do. |
| Feenix | Thanks for all of the work translating this. I love Spice and Wolf, and I had a difficult time searching out good subs for the second season until I found you guys, so I certainly appreciate it. |
| RAGE | What? Only 12 episodes? I thought they were 13... I want to cry. There's just no enough Horo.
Anyway, thank you very much Mazui guys. It's been a great ride. |

Anyway, thank you Mazui! |
| Earofdoom | THANK YOU |
| horo | 1.this open ending fits perfect for a third season ?
2.in the opening you can see abe sailing away on a ship, but not in any episode, so they have already drawn something for season 3?
3.concluding it is possible that it wont take a full year till season 3?
someone state his opinion is these questions |
| horo | the titles of the last 2 episodes were incredible mean, cant image how i was struggling with myself to imagine a proper ending fitting with those titles and stilling my heart |
| Kenshin-dono | well i was going to just watch the frostii subs but comparing them to you guys i think i actually like your translation better o_O odd that a speedsub would beat a group like frostii. Tnx for the translations i hope you guys stick around for more stuff. I never did see any answer on that, just questions on sugestions of series if you decided to stick around.
man this show really should have got a full 24 epp season =( |

Baka-tsuki translation is fukken dead. The last update was like 3 months ago. |
| Falru | Thanks a ton, can't wait for season 3 :)
Althought that's probably like a year away, sadly. :( |
| Falru | P.S. It technically did contain 13 episodes, although the first was "Episode 0" and was the OVA "Wolf and the Amber Melancholy" |
| anon | I'd like to convey my sincerest gratitude to everyone in Mazui staff. Your efforts are much appreciated by countless people all around the globe. |
| Anonymous | Thanks very much for all of your hard work. Very impressive. However, you've marred the final episode by adding those two stupid graphic titles in the sky and hanging off the building. Not that I'm ungrateful for your hard work, but stuff like that (especially during the last episode) is just plain juvenile. It's worse than CoalGuys and their moronic word-swapping. |
| mrv | Loved it... Appreciate it... Keep it going guys ;) still waiting for xvid on final ep though ^^ |
| V | Thanks again, Mazui. Looking forward to your releases of season 3 (I'm sure they'll make one). |
| Detective | Fuck year Mazui. You guys are awesome. |
| Oehr | at 12:04
"But you didn't me the truth either."
"tell" is missing. |

| DaVince | XViD? Who still needs XViD? :P |
| KaDa | I want a confirmed third season.
Yesterday!
Mazui subbing it ofc :P |
| Ami | @DaVince: i need avi ^^ |
| swahab | thanks for the release. I totally agree with Kenshin-dono. Yours the best and I'm looking forward to ur next project. |
| FlareKnight | Would just say thanks a lot for all the work you did with this series. It was a ton of fun to watch. So thanks. |
| anonymous | Thanks for the hard work!
Did anyone else have a problem at around 05:35 with the audio freezing/skipping and th video lagging a bit? |
| Jojje | Thanks Ulrezaj, jama, Norgus, fotc and Skyward!
Hope to see you for Season 3 |
| anonymous | Mandarinka - russian? |
| Ryn | PLEASEEE do 3rd season! Legit, when I was watching 1st season, I saw a couple dif. subs, and if given a choice, I would choose yours above all others. When 2nd season came, I would ONLY watch your subs. Thank you for all your amazing work!! |
| kupi | Thx for subbing this anime!! |
| Kaname | cant wait till 3rd season. plz post details as to when it comes out as that time nears |
| curious one | "However, you've marred the final episode by adding those two stupid graphic titles in the sky and hanging off the building."
Anyone know what that guy was talking about and what time the supposedly appear? I do think a v2 is needed to correct the lagging, but that could have just been a problem with the raw. |
| Templar_X | Thanks for the good work!
Hope to see more great speedsubs from you ^^
Seriously, thanks for the great work you've done! |
| matsu | Thank you very much for your work on Okami to Koshinryo! I hope I can enjoy it in a 3rd season. :-) |
| romeo | thanks x 10000000000000 :), a few typo in the last eps , v2 soon? :D |
| anonymous | @curious one
There actually seem to be at least three. The first occurs at 5:36 with the word "skyward" written in the sky in a white brush font to make it look like clouds. The second is at 16:53 with the word "JAMA" written in what looks like basic Helvetica crudely hanging from the roof of a building - probably meant to imitate icicles.
The third is at 22:53 during the special end credits where the word "fotc" is written in white. There might be more.
I should also point out that there's an additional segment at the very end of the file thanking the Mazui staff - including these same three people.
I have to agree that at least the first two graphics are completely inappropriate as they are HUGELY distracting. It's not like Spice and Wolf is an action-packed series where it's easy to get back into the flow. The fact that it was during the final episode as well was a poor choice to say the least.
Nonetheless, I'd like to add my name to those thanking Mazui for their hard work over these past few months. It's very appreciated but this particular episode was a very bad call on someone's part. |
| MikeLemmer | Watched the entire season now. Thanks for dubbing this for us. |
| anonymous | Easter eggs are great, but clean v2 will be even better. |
| Jenn | My humble opinion is that those extra name tags shouldn't have been included. You graciously thank everyone at the end so there's no need to distract people as the main story wraps up. Looking forward to a clean version as well!
MikeLemmer: They actually subbed S&W. If they had dubbed it, I doubt we would have watched it. ^_^ |
| rutabaga | Thank you Mazui for both quick and high quality translation of Spice and Wolf II. And to Norgus: congratulations! ;3 |
| metanonymous | thanks for the xvids guys |
| anonymous | Thanks for all your hard work, much appreciated! |
| Anonymous Alcoholic | Wah, its allready over ;( ?!?!?
Time sure flows fast.
Ulrezaj learned japanese only in 2 years ? HOW?!?!?
Anyways, thank for all the work Mazui.
Are u guys gonna sub something else too, like railgun or the likes.Or are u gonna take a break?
|
| curious one | If you have aegis sub, you can just open up the .ass file and delete all the stuff. It's all at the end of the file. |
| Anonymous | These are okay subs, but you guys have a huge ego. Here are things you do that ruin the anime:
Your Mazui approved sign always lags the OP.
You put staff names in the middle of this episode.
You put your own credits in the end of this episode.
Sorry, but you guys are not more important than the original staff of this anime. Just subtitle the anime and don't put your names all of the place. |
| Mindcrime | Thanks for subbing Spice and Wolf II! |
| Adolfo | exellent job !, arigato godaimasu! |
| X3OY | @Anonymous above, if the 'Mazui approved' thing lags the OP, you need to either:
Stop using VLC
STOP using VLC
Install CCCP
Install MPC HC that comes with it
If all of the above don't work you haven't downloaded the V2s or you need to buy a new PC.
Also, it's not that hard to edit a script, you can remove the 'Mazui Approved' thing if it bothers you that much.
Also the last episode ws the only time they actually put their names in the credits. Some groups have their names in the credit in every episode. As for the staff names in the middle of episodes, I have no idea what you're talking about. |
| lgmtk | hey mazui!
tnx for another season :)
great job!
funny ITE. |
| Gari | The OP mazui scroll is very poorly done. I know scrolls can be difficult in times but it just does not work.
@X3OY
There are definitely fancy subs with mazui names in the middle of story. Very annoying. End credits are just fine. It is last episode after all. |
| Gari | My clarification: 'End credits' as the additional mazui end credits where they thank themselves, not special Spice and Wolf ED. |
| WinterStorm | Great stuff.
Mazui, I wanted to give you my thanks for supporting me with great releases for Haruhi and especially Spice and Wolf. Hope to see more of you work in the future. |
| X3OY | Gari, I'm finding it hard to read your post. Your 'clarification' actually confused me more. Perhaps you could point me to a specific part in a video or something. |
| anonymous | Horo Horo Horo Horo!!! Need more! Thanks for getting these out so quickly! |
| anonymous | Splendid work guys! Can't thank you enough for putting your free time into working on this.
@X3OY
No the problem are people using Windows. There are no problems whatsoever with VLC.
Just read 'anonymous' post above directed at 'curious one' to find out what credits everyone's talking about.
Speaking of credits, were I the only one to not notice the first two while immediately noticing the last one? |
| cerberus | Thanks for subbing yet another season of this wonderful anime.
really hope they make a season 3, and further more i would love to see you sub it, if it comes :) |
| Anonymous | Many thanks for subbing this show, it's been a great run.
Here's to hoping for S3! |
| anonymous | thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhannnnkkk youuuu |
| thefinalrune | So, any hope of a DVD version release in the future? Those few eps with scrolling "OMG DO NOT FANSUB THIS" kanji were annoying.
Thanks for a great release and seeing it through to the end. |
| Humole | Thx a lot for all this episodes, you really are a great fansub. I enjoyed looking for the credits after I noticed skyward[though i think that one was outstanding too much].
Thank you very much
Humole |
| anonymous | Thank you for all the work you guys have put into this fansub, been following it every week, and it's a bit sad taht its over, there better be a season 3! |
| Emil | I too wonder about Mandarinka's nationality.Could it be Bulgarian? |
| Gar | Thanks! Are you guys thinking of any fall anime projects? |
| X3OY | @ anonymous like seven comments ago
VLC uses internal files for playback and makes no use of CCCP, Core AVC or pretty much any external codec/codec pack you install. Thus, people who are just about able to play .mkvs would benefit from using MPC instead.
See:
http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Media_Players#VLC_media_player_.28Bad.2FEvil.29
I use windows and I can confirm that it doesn't magically force anime OPs to lag.
Also, it's simple to remove the credits that were 'hidden' in the episode. You don't even need Aegisub, you can use notepad. |
| anonymous | Anyone know what part(s) of the novel this season covered |
| anonymous | I'd like to know the title of the music used during the Mazui's credits. |
| anonymous | @X3OY
One of the problems is that a lot of people don't have the know-how to fix the subs if they don't have a separate .sub file and have to extract it. Another is that most people only find out about distracting subs like these AFTER watching the video. In this case, Mazui had not done anything like this in the past (that I'm aware of for Spice and Wolf) so there was no reason to expect what we got. Still a bad call all around and I hope it doesn't become a common thing now.
As for the OP scrolling subs, I don't know which anonymous you were referring to (lots of us) but it really would have just been better to have gone with a static sub given how choppy the thing was in the first place - but that's another discussion altogether.
Still glad I got the chance to finish the series thanks to Mazui and I hope they don't think we're overall ungrateful. Just wanted to call out a really bad idea before it becomes a really bad habit. :-/ |
| curious one | first 6 episodes covered volume 3, last 6 covered volume 5. they skipped volume 4 for whatever reason (which i liked more than volumes 3 and 5, but it's translated on baka-tsuki). |
| G2 | Just wanted to say thank you for a job well done. |
| anonymous | @ two anonymouss ago
The music is an instrumental of the first seasons OP. (Natsumi Kiyoura - Tabi no Tochuu)
Here's an mp3 with the vocals:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QBK0T755 |
| anonymous | A patch is fine too. |
| anonymous | i'm not sure how you could have watched the first season without recognizing that song, nor do i know why you would watch the second season without watching the first, but whatever. |
| anonymous | @X3OY
With VLC you have no need for CCCP as it uses FFmpeg, a superior decoder.
Libraries are handled bad enough as it is on Windows. There's no need to bloat it with a bunch of codec packs.
@anon about scrolling title
Looking at the subtitle file, it's defined as actual scrolling and not as a new coordinate per frame. So any choppiness should be due to decoding errors or computer problems. |
| anonymous | VLC is terrible.
Try to seek, report results. |
| Anon | Not even the shittiest groups put their names in the middle of the episode, patch please? |
| s4 | I LOVE YOU PEOPLE.
YES HOMO. |
| Spookt | Thanks very much, Mazui! I looked forward to your subs every week. See you next season! |
| Guest | Thanks! Do you planned to release a batch? |
| Gates and Logic | I'll miss you Horo.
You too Mazui. ;_; |
| guibin | is it just me, or did it lag a little between 5:36 - 5:43? The scene where Horo and Lawrance were infront of that building before Horo got sold off.
Oh well hope there's a season 3! |
| romeo | to guibin, that's because mazui put in an easter egg at that time,geez there r a total of 3 easter eggs in the last episode O.o i have the same problem. |
| Kenshin-dono | seriously? they put their friggin names in the episode? i retract my previous thanks, thats just ameturish and lame. Like the anon guy above says, even the lamest sub groups dont pull crap like that |
| noushi | Thanks for subbing SaW II! |
| grurg | Mandarinka could be czech too, I should know...
which nationality is Mazui? |
| :D | it doesn't end here right? :D
there's definitely a season 3 for this!!
I'll be Waitin'!!
|
| XxSaberxX | Thanks for subbing this wonderful series. Couldn't have enjoyed it without you guys working your asses off for us. Hope you guys will pick up season 3 when it happens. |
| Arhazivory | Thank you so much for dedicating your time and effort to Spice and Wolf. It is greatly appreciated and I love you all for it. Good job. |
| Substitute | You rock guys! Thanks alot |
| anon2 | @guibin: It does indeed lag at the stupid Skyward cloud bit at 5:36. That's how I noticed it, it's so lame I couldn't believe it was true. |
| anon2 | By the way, this may not have anything to do with the translation, but the quality of the series has been constantly dropping. This season was definitely worse than the first, with ridiculous drama, poorly explained plots, and bad dialogue trying to pass as clever and witty. Maybe it's been a while, but I remembered Horo being more intelligent and mature, not this overly dramatic teenager making up all kinds of problems in her head and generally being a pain in the ass for no reason. I'm sure a lot of nerds can identify with Lawrence: he puts up with so much shit and yet never gets any action. Then she offers herself and he runs away scared. Brilliant. |
| DaHill534 | Excellent work you guys. Thanks. I hope you take on season 3 when (or even: if) that comes out. |
| DaVince | Mazui names in the middle? I don't remember anything in the episode's subs breaking continuity like that... Must have missed it. But if they were there, it probably would have been better not to do that. The people who get these subs already know it's Mazui's, after all. :) |
| anonymous | Thank you very much. |
| Jim | Thank you very much. I love this anime; it's cute, and smart. Thank you again. |
| anonymous | I never noticed the easter eggs, so the addition of names and the like didn't bother me. I had to restore the file and skip to the parts where the names were. Thought it was cool. :D |
| Ged | woooow..omg very wonderful subs.!!! it sounds soo smart.:3 and man..i really love this anime...especially season 1.. i just hope they get to be together in season 3..hehe romance.:D
thnx again for the subs..:) |
| anonymous | Key on ANN found a cool easter egg from the Spicy creators suggesting what we might expect from their relationship in a 3rd season. I suggest you read the Spicy thread there but in case you don't... what does the scene right before the credit look like? I see and hear a certain type of bell ringing. Horo and Lawrence look the part, minus the formal dress. |
| Carrot | You Mazui cats did a great job on Spice and Wolf 2. I'm fairly confident there will be a Spice and Wolf 3, so I hope you're all up to translating that as well, I look forward to it. Again, great job, and thanks a lot. |
| Siv | Awesome job you guys; much thanks for subbing this. I just can't get enough of Spice and Wolf! |
| Frank | hey guys I just wanted to say that I found your comments at the end there very encouraging. 2 years ago you didn't know a word of japanese? Very cool man, I've been going at it hardcore now just over a year and the improvement is amazing. Maybe after another year I'll join a subbing group ;) Anyways thank you very much, hopefully we'll see a season 3. |
| wingsunleashed | Ha! Two years ago I knew about 3 words of Japanese - now I know about 14! ~~~Which
is another way of saying without people like you I couldn't watch stuff like this!
As for the rage comments about Easter eggs and stuff - it's either you guys or Frostii...so, I'm just grateful it was subbed at all. Also - for reasons too long to go into, well. Season 1 I only started watching when 2 eps were left, so watched all of season 1 in a week then waited a week for that last ep. SO...followed tradition this year - and so v2 ep 12 was already released when i watched, as I only started eps 1&2 Monday of this same week.
@anon2. Horo this season? Hmmm. Do you understand and get her fear? Dude. Horo is immortal. In what to her will seem like the blink of an eye Lawrence will turn old and die. That's why she keeps having that dream of standing in front of nothing but his bones. Ennywho. Season 3 is all but assured I would think. Enuf from/about me. Mazui. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA!!!!! ~(There. Just used about 1/7th of my entire Japanese vocabulary!!!)~ ^_^ |
| Shakkin | Thank you very much Mazui |
| Zazba | Happy to say this was the first anime I have watched without being dubbed. Great work! :) |
| juggernaut(enerjakSWEDEN) | Thx for the best fansubs work for the greatast anime serie ever
i hope you all in the staff get a happy life ánd will live on with a proud heart
gracias , tack ,arrigato, thx so much for all
best regrads (I C A U) |
| Howard | Just finished the series. A great series that I hope will have a third and further seasons |
| Riki | thanks for the fantastic subbing:D |
| chronolite | 10 years ago no nothing about japanese word.. now only 100 words (1 yr 10 words).. hontou.. kowai na.. |
