Angel Beats! 02

Whoops, overdid the crf a bit there...
Well, you can be assured this will be an excellent quality video, at least!

420MB worth of Angel Beats episode 2 and a little less processor-raping XviD version.

Oh, I almost forgot. I ripped the TV sized OP and ED from the episode since we have a clean sample now.
Download it here: Angel Beats OP/ED pack

Oh, and this is the song that TK's singing when he's holding up the roof: Hurry up! by B'z

Fullsize image because it's so pretty:

lil pretty

We missed last week's in the rush, but let's get the did-you-knows going:

YuriequalsTokido Saya

The girl on the right is Tokido Saya from Little busters, a game I highly recommend. It's another Maeda Jun masterpiece, and Saya's probably my favourite girl from it.

And with that, Mazui is done for the week. Enjoy!

stAticThanks for the release!
AoShenGood job!
l0l1thx for the release, i have been waiting for this episode
ali3nHell yea! Got tired from clicking "refresh" for 3 hours :O
aniluvvery nice. So quick to come =)
MMCawesome thanks guys
limazYay you guys make people happy
oopsI thought yesterday was today... so I was freaking out when it wasn't out. oops lol
YonedaThanks a lot =D
ForceGod praise the GodSubbers Mazui!!
You release this ep, before gg or BSS could release DRRR ep 13.
Never said anything, but have pretty much here since the begging of Railgun, awesome anime.

So.. *Bows*

Keep up the awesome work Mazui, we owe you big time!
Keldory♫Disappearance and AB2 in one day? Best Friday ever.
Christosif i might propose something, 100 more mbs with today's connections are not much of a "burden", even down here in greece where bandwidth is not the country's best feature.

if the quality is as good as this one seems to be, it might be a good idea to consider to make it permanent.

also, just like Force (and many others) said before me :
"Keep up the awesome work Mazui, we owe you big time!"
DesuYou're still doing XviD for this, right?
FignutsI'm sure they will be doing the XviD. This is a classy bunch after all....
CDP5280Damn, I've forgotten about Little busters. Did they ever finish the English patch for it?
MarchGODDAMN MAZUI. You are Gods. Nothing less. I will serve you until the end of time!

Mazui-sama!
MarchOh fuck, you guys have competition. Not that it's any match for you at all. SFW and Mochi are good, but you guys...are fucking pwn. Remember that. ^_^
MazuiRocksCould you kindly tell us the crf value you used?
Thanks Mazui, fast and high quality translation as always.
RenzokukenThanks a lot guys. Was on the verge of VisualArts/Key withdrawl symptoms kicking in. You're life savers.
tomSuper fast, and 420mb yay quality

anyone watch the angel beats interview/specials yet?
Anonis the Xvid up yet? >.
Christoswhat kind of a computer can one have that cannot even play an mkv ? my old computer plays mkv without any problem (and i mean 1999-old)
Anoni usually watch anime in my tv and my dvd doesn't play mkv
klaymorethx for the XviD, this eps will help me decide whether i continue with XviD or mkv
Xol@christos: computers need some processing power to decompress the encoded file real-time. anyway, i'm not worried about it, my comp can handle the raw files i record with fraps(which records like 1.5 gigs of video per minute)
Findynever cease no amaze me~
beautiful work MAZUI ^^
tripperdan99Thanks Guys, one of the best series for Spring2010

~td99
psychoI like your fonts more than SS. A little disappointed with SS as I thought it will be that good with CLANNAD. Mazui had reached the level that I held Eclipse and DB up high, in terms of weekly release speed and quality and also, XviD!! I watch it on my new HD TV with my mouth opened!!! Blu-ray player only support .avi file..
DetectiveCool kids double sub with a movie release in one day. Stay awesome Mazui!
psychoChristos, XviD is good for converting to put into portable device.. and also, Blu-Ray player mostly don't support mkv. It is no-pixel when you watched any fansub .avi on a Full HD TV. It is that good. I'm downloading mkv for archive on com, and .avi for burning on data DVD.
Lucid_YumeYou guys have really become outstanding at subbing! Thanks so much, and keep up the great stuff!
MizuhoChanI've been with you guys for a while now, I love the professional look of the subs and how accurate it seems (from my limited knowledge).

Also, brilliant episode, can't wait for next week =)

Xvids shouldn't be made anymore, force people to upgrade their sucky computers already... MKV is the future.
psychoXvid isn't about old or sucky computers. mkv is made for you guys already. So don't whine about something you don't know and never use at all.
Christos@Xol : that's what i said : any cpu can decompress it in real time , most phones can(!)

@psycho : i understand what you said about the blu-ray players and the convertion. i always thought that xvids are useless but i can see the reason now : i was just thinking too much like "i don't need it, so noone does" which is Very myopic.

thanks for the answer
RhiannThanks for the XVID
anonymousis there a place to donate?
or you guys not need it?
anonymousIt's not mkv that's the problem, but many computers (like my 3 year old laptop) have trouble playing h264 at HD resolutions. 1.6Ghz + intel graphics sucks, but does pretty much everything I need. It's nice to be able to use it for video as well.
UlrezajThanks, but if we ever need donations, you'll see a paypal link somewhere.
EminaxDrool... 420 megs for 1 ep!
Mazui, you guys are damn awesome!
ilovefoodsmkv or avi or xvid or even 3gp(for phone or psps..maybe)...anyone can choose which format they want because they have their own problems right?..so be happy and watch the anime already...anyway thanks for the release guys
B3hind4lli want to know why don't more programs dont play Mkv..... it's a pain in the rear to be converting files....

Thaxs for the sub!!! woo1!!
Pawwoo little busters!
klaymoreif eps 1 is B, eps 2 should be getting A+

i decided to continue with XviD and wait for a better version from BD or DVD
anonymousI, for one, welcome our new Mazui overlords.
BizounoursBizounours says thanks.
Seconded, lil' Busters awesome :p
@B3hind4llyou can always use videolan or gomplayer or windows media player classic, and get (CoreAVC[pay] or CCCP[free]) but if you do decide to use coreavc you need to manually add it in the options. If this doesn't work, your next best option is to upgrade your computer or go with lower quality lol
MidgemageMy processor just loves it when you guys give it a big one.
SoukyuuThanks for the ep but....
Why "Anti-Angel HQ" when it clearly says "Principal's office"? Especially since that's what you used in ep1?
thewizardninjaThis episode was SOOO much better than the first. This was what I was expecting though ^^
anonhey guys, is the op lagging around the part where the big angel beats letters are? thanks
bobara@Soukyuu: Good question.

I think I spotted a typo:

21m,41s: "I wonder how many years it's been..."

And Saya Tokido isn't actually part of "Little Busters!". She apears in the adult version "Ecstasy".
rinThanks!
SteveWierd I downloaded it and there was no subs. ;S Going to redownload.
AnoNQC:

@20m,51s: "I guess we can't just put together stuff we don't know remember"

I guess if was meant to be either "know" OR "remember"....

Another one was well spotted by bobara; @21m,40s: it says "its" instead of "it's"

Anyway, thanks for subbing the show! And a MEGA thanks for the avi encodes.
JikapThx for episode 2 ^^

And I agree, Little busters is highly recommended :3
toechimIn the mkv version, from beginning to 00:10, i think there is a graphic error, ... but maybe it's only my computer ?
Yay, and thx for this episode :D
philipI am also wondering:
"Why "Anti-Angel HQ" when it clearly says "Principal's office"? Especially since that's what you used in ep1?" - Soukyuu

v2 please! :O
ClickToechim's right. My computer has an error there as well.
Otherwise, great quality. :D
bobaraMust be due to the installed codecs, since I had the same graphic error on the notebook while it was fine on my computer.
OnsokumaruThanks!

Finally an OP sung by Lia!!
lighto13i think the op subs need to be re-done.
the font is too big and too plain.
also it becomes a bit "slowy"
my comp also lags, only in the op though.
and its def not an old comp but a good, recent one.
otherwise the episode was awesome
AmeyThats weird nothing wrong on my pc

could be due to it being i7 930 with HD5870 lolz :P
Ameybtw try smplayer everything works there
beeyachtMassive CPU spike on the OP subtitles (especially the 'mazui presents'), think you could tone them down next week?
If my Phenom II x4 can't handle it, how do you expect lower end to work?
HoyoyoMazui sub always slow down my pc when playing fast pace OP (Haruhi s2, railgun). But switcing to CoreAVC codec can fix this.
anonthanks again! :)
SoukyuuWell, _my_ phenom x4 can handle it quite well, no video errors, no lag. I'm using coreAVC+CUDA though so it's more like my GTX260 can handle it.... just as my 8600m GT could before.
ShufflebladeThanks for the release and for the recommendation of Little Busters. I love that kind of games and I added it to my list of must-play.

Since I'm not fluent in Japanese I checked how it was with fan translations and if anyone wants to know its ongoing, they have come a long way since people are already playing with it. However it is not complete, the latest news says this:

"Translation resumed after a bit of a lengthier break. --Phlebas 18:09, 16 March 2010 (UTC)"

So it looks good =)
Hachibukaibueno la mejor versión en ingles que conozco y sin duda el mejor modelo a seguir :D

well the best English version I know and certainly the best model to follow: D
bt37Thanks again for the quality release Mazui!
martinezthanks for ur good work....i can enjoy Angel Beats! ....fully-fully enjoy....^^b
DoneWhere can i download Little Busters? I've look everywhere!!!
DoneLooked**
HymirvetrWell,i'm kinda torn apart on this Anime.The Story seems full of metaphysical,built in rules which dictate the plot,yet little is explained for now.The animation is hit and miss,some parts really looked cheap.Especially in episode 1,though episode 2 is definitely an improvement.
HymirvetrUps,forgot half of the post.

But,i like the premise,since its something different for a change,and i'm a sucker for comedic violence.Will continue to watch,but does anyone care to give his/her thoughts on this one?I'm kinda interested in the general response.Subs are great,as expected.
ShadowAfter the first ep, I was a big fan of Angel. She just seems so alone in a world where everyone else bands together against her. After the second, I am a huge fan of Yuri! I guess I have a soft spot for the tragic characters. ;)

Also, TK's a trip! It's so strange to hear someone speak such fluent English in the Japanese audio track. When he first spoke in Ep 1, I backed it up a few times to see if I wasn't hearing things! LOL!

Love the series! The subtle foreshadowing is a great indicator of amazing plot twists coming down the line. Questions came to mind when she didn't reveal to him how she died. What if Otonashi was somehow connected to that event, since he has no memories?

Hehehe, I can only imagine what the rest of the show is going to be like, but for me at least, I'm psyched! =)
EcthaniuIs there already manga to buy?
*Eu German or whatever
TFHazardI can't wait until we get to see things from Angel's side. I like her better than Yuri :[
AzmountIt's been a while since I waited for an upcoming episode with this much impatience.

I'm hooked to this anime. Thanks guys for subbing it.
Anonymous AlcoholicDidn't like the first episode that much, but wow, the second one was just great. And the OP and Ending are also good. Thanks for subbing it and big thanks for the xvid !
