On the subject of DDLs

2012-01-24T05:42:00.002-05:00

I've been meaning to post about this for a while now, but Masoukishin II stopped me. As you know, our DDL releases were on Megaupload (Mega, mega, upload) and they are gone now. I haven't yet started to upload the episodes elsewhere because I'm waiting for it to become clear which DDL services are going to stick around in the aftermath. If anybody else wants to upload the episodes somewhere right now, you can do it (not that I could stop you even if I wanted to).

Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T07:16:00.003-05:00

I decided to wait for 2012 to announce the good news: Sardien has confirmed that he is alive, though it sounds like the subninjas turned his life into a harem comedy. I hope we can push out a release or two some time soon.

Oh, and although Macross is getting all the attention, it's also Xabungle's 30th anniversary this year! A fitting year to finally finish subbing the show.

Update on the delay

2011-11-30T06:00:00.003-05:00

You are probably wondering why there hasn't been a new episode of Xabungle in a while despite me having the translation for the next episode done already back when we last released something. Well, it's simple: I haven't heard from Sardien since then and although as the timer he is the easiest part of the team to replace, I really don't want to. Not at this point. We've come this far together and I want to finish the show together with him. We're a team. I know this is unfair to you guys and I can't say anything more than that I'm sorry. If I hear nothing from Sardien until the end of this year, I'll find somebody to replace him. I haven't stopped translating episodes, so the next three episodes are already done and I've started working on the one after those as well. This means I should accomplish my goal of translating the rest of Xabungle by the end of the year, even if we haven't successfully released all of it. Once again, I'm sorry about the delay and I hope it'll work out soon.

The answer to the ultimate question of Xabungle, Tomino and everything

2011-10-13T06:09:00.006-04:00

Episode 42 has finally gone through our quality control process (read: us making bad jokes and improving a few lines), so here it is for your viewing pleasure.

Video, subs and everything

So long and thanks for all the subs

Since my usual Saturday pastime of playing Pokeyman cards is not happening this week, I'll spend the extra time on translating 44 and probably 45 too. "But what about episode 43", you ask. Well, that's already translated, just needs a little spit to make it nice and shiny.

Xabungle Legends 3 is not cancelled

2011-07-21T22:40:00.003-04:00

Well, getting episode 41 out took a bit longer than I expected, but here it is.

In other news, a few people have shown interest in possibly helping us finish Xabungle faster. I still need to work out the details with them, so stay tuned for further updates.

Wow, I have no idea how we ended up not getting any episodes out since November. The next break shouldn't be as long as that, since I'm already working on the translation. Oh, and people from /m/ might remember me mentioning a SECRET SPECIAL MEMBER that's been helping me and Sardien out with this episode. Some of you may have guessed this already, but Denkou is back! Oh yeah! He's now doing essentially the same work I did back when he was the primary translator.

And now the moment you've been waiting for, Xabungle episode 39 in glorious DDL:

There's a rather steamy shower scene in this one.

Sorry that the release took longer than I expected, I forgot to check Sardien's schedule before making that promise. Now back to playing this dating sim I call My Korean Life...

Sorry about the delay

2010-10-27T06:34:00.003-04:00

I've been busy getting used to student life here in Korea (11 PM curfew on weekdays sucks) and I just had my midterm exams, but now I'm finally back working on the next episode of Xabungle. I've got about half of it already translated and no current plans for the weekend, so you can expect to see it some time next week at the latest. I'll try to make up for the lost two months and get more than just one episode done in November.

BATCH: The Torrent

2010-08-31T16:36:00.003-04:00

Grab it over here.

As usual there have been some slight tune ups to previous episodes, which is why it took a bit to put together.

You can also grab this package containing the most up to date .ass files in a direct download. Handy if you have the raws or if you want to help out with seeding!

I hope you enjoy our new double release, now with 100% more Fatman Power than before.

Fatman Power, full power!

Fatman Power, minimum burst!

I should be able to do at least two more episodes before heading to Korea. Once I'm there, I'm hoping to maintain a "at least 1 episode each month" schedule.

The Good, the Bad and the Cute

2010-07-15T18:45:00.006-04:00

Bad news: There won't be another episode until early August due to a bug in the subbing grid of our mobile fortress.

Good news: You'll get at least two episodes in the next release for sure, probably more.

Now enjoy episode 33:

Xabungle 49 released... by someone else

2010-06-23T16:58:00.005-04:00

Wing1999 released a torrent of episode 49 earlier today. We'd like to invite him/her to join AXSUS, but there was no contact information included, so this post is an attempt at getting the word out there. If anybody knows more about Wing1999, please contact us either through the blog comments or by e-mail (my address is daironeri@yahoo.com).

EDIT: Mystery solved thanks to Nanto, see comments for the details.

I'm a poor, lonesome translator...

2010-06-18T19:53:00.003-04:00

Well, you might have noticed that we haven't released a new episode in a long time. The nefarious subninjas have been using their most vile mind tricks to screw with Denkou's brain during the last few months and he is now unable to continue working on Xabungle. However, this doesn't mean that the project will be dropped: I'm taking up the entire translation duty with Sardien continuing as the timer/editor. I am currently working on my Master's thesis, but I should have enough time to translate at least two episodes each month until September. Then I'll be heading to Korea for a year to research Super Taekwon V and I'm not sure how much time for subbing I will have while I'm there, but I promise you that this show will be finished one way or another.

We have lost a hero to our glorious and noble cause, but does this foreshadow our defeat? No. It is a new beginning. Compared to subninjas, the national resources of AXSUS are less than one thirtieth of theirs. Despite this major difference, how is it that we have been able to fight the fight for so long? It is because our goal in this war is a righteous one.

Now salute Denkou for his great work as a member of our team and then click on the links below to download episode 31.

This is snow joke

2010-04-27T04:31:00.003-04:00

Well, mid April ended up being late April, but here's episode 30 for you guys.

See how Xabungle inspired Castlevania

Or just read the subtitles and imagine what's going on

Episode 30 in mid-april

2010-04-04T10:53:00.004-04:00

Well, I figure I should post something so that the April Fool's joke won't stay on top of the news! Episode 30 is gonna come in mid-April, after I'm done with my semester. After that I've got a job for summer, and that means less work than university, so you'll get a lot of episodes in summer! In fact, it all might finish before fall - make sure you stay tuned.

And now the rest of the post is just rambling about April Fool's and Taekwon V, so you can skip that if you like, or you can read if you like me.

The first plan was just to sub in our three native languages, but one guy couldn't make it and ~11 million speakers isn't a lot, so we thought of that joke. It was supposed to be "Xabungle is licensed", but Zeonic-Corps beat us to that, so we had to make up something. I know nobody seems to have bought it in the /m/ thread, I'm a bit sad about that but I'm also relieved that we didn't sadden too many folks. XD

I hadn't seen the .rar myself... oh god, this is terrible. This is a movie? Mazinger Z TV had better animation... Omg is that general Revil? What the hell is going on? Why is there a talking teapot?? What what there's a live action movie coming in 2010-2011!?!?
http://hallyuwood.com/robot-taekwon-v-allies-with-sonokong
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1179913/
"We will strive to turn Robot Taekwon V into a world-famous brand winning hearts and minds of people around the globe as Mickey Mouse, Gundam, and Atom do"... huh... hmmm... sure. The worst thing is I know me and some other /m/ tripfags will buy tickets to see it in the Montreal movie festival of 2011. Well, it can't be worst than upcoming the american Gaiking CG movie... or can it.

I'm surprised there's actually someone who looked at out our obscure-languages-sub; I might do Quebec subs for myself just for the lulz in the future at the same time as the English ones, if you want them you can drop me a line at fggallant at gmail and I can feed you by email.

That's all!

See you in 1 or 2 weeks for another episode.

No more Xabungle - new project

2010-04-01T14:46:00.007-04:00

You might have noticed that the time between the releases is getting longer and longer every time. I'll just tell the truth here... I'm not as motivated anymore. It's been more than a year, and the flame of passion I had about Xabungle has sort of died out. With university and all, it was getting hard for me to invest what little free time in translating something that I only liked moderately.

As a final Xabungle project, Dai and I translated episode 1 in our mother tongue, Finnish and Quebec French respectively. Knowing that there are only 5~6 million speakers of each, it was just a little treat for ourselves, and we've had fun with that.
raw for episode 1

However, that doesn't mean AXSUS is dead. While we know you'll be sad about the loss of Xabungle, we discussed and decided to start on a new series we know all Xabungle fans will love. As AXSUS was originally planning to release Xabungle Graffiti and then the TV series, this time we'll go with this formula. Here's the movie, and we'll start subbing the TV series next week, knowing that you Xabungle fans will like it:

A bit over a month ago, we had an epic battle with the subninjas. Just as Denkou was about to deliver the final blow to their mysterious leader, he tore open a portal in time and flung Denkou into the future where his evil is law. Denkou was finally able to return about a week ago, thanks to the efforts of a samurai clad in white. Apparently, the samurai sacrificed his own chance of going back home to save Denkou. We salute this noble samurai, whoever he is.

As a tribute to our hero, we present episode 28 of Xabungle:

Hey you! Hey you! It's episode 25!

2009-12-08T11:48:00.002-05:00

It has two sub files too, one with the insert song translated and the other without any additional stuff on screen.

A batch torrent is fine too

Oh, and Who's That WM? posted last time now has some additional information from Professor Cotset.

What time is it? It's naked MILF o' clock

2009-12-04T16:56:00.012-05:00

See everything.

If you're just an .ASS man, we've got you covered as well.

Oh, and Denkou provided us with some additional fun, but I'm too tired right now to figure out how to properly add it here, so I'll edit it in tomorrow. There's a super extra special mega preview of it on 4chan's /m/, though.

EDIT: And here's that game, now that I'm finally awake enough to figure out how to make Blogspot accept the code for a "click and reveal".

Denkou has been kidnapped by subninjas! Are you a bad enough dude to save him?

2009-11-01T03:33:00.003-05:00

Or at least we haven't heard from him in a while. If he has disappeared for good, I'll try to fit in translating the show solo into my schedule, somewhere between writing my master's thesis and plotting to take over South Korea to gain control of that Taekwon statue they are building.

Oh, and I've kept forgetting to re-upload episode 8's DDL, but some kind Anon on /m/ did it instead, so I'm stealing his link. Thanks, Anon.

UPDATE: Good news, everybody! AirMaster managed to infiltrate the subninja base and set Denkou free! He's still a bit weak from the torture he had to endure, but should make a full recovery.

Oh, and in case you haven't been reading the comments, here's some delicious pasta of my bub Sardien on why the hell there hasn't been MOAR SUBS lately:

Don't worry, we'll see this through to the end.

We kinda forgot to synch up our vacation plans and ended up with some other obligations. We do suck for not announcing our break here, but it all just went so fast.

Some work on the next episode is done, but can't say when it'll be ready for release. It's an incredibly emotional episode with Jiron Amos dieing in quicksand and stuff.

Oh, and Propopiev makes translating hard with a pun. I pulled something out of my .ass for that because Denkou couldn't think of anything.

Batch torrent for 1-17, some updates to the .ass files

2009-06-25T07:35:00.003-04:00

Well, at long last we are ready to release the new batch torrent for episodes 1-17. There are some changes made to the earlier versions (especially the first five episodes), so even you folks who already have the subs should download this pack of .ass. The video files are the same as before so you can keep those.

Well, here's episode 11, avalaible packaged with the video and in handy "subs only" variety for those of you who already have the raws.

A very nice person called J9Yards provided us with uploads of the two BGM discs, so in case you haven't been reading the blog comments, here are the links in plain sight.

Well it looks like Daironeri came back from Japan, got a new email, Sardien finished moving and DenkouNova finished his school semester, so everything is SUPER OKKAAAY!!! for a comeback, as Tetsuya Kouji (my SRW K ace pilot) would say/yell.

I'll be translating all week and go visit our Japanese TL verifier Arda on Saturday, so by Sunday 26th scripts for episodes 11 to 16 will be in the AXSUS timing/editing machine for release.

You guys get ready for episode 11 (which is absolutely awesome) while we slowly rise from our lethargy xP.

While you're waiting, check out the /m/ fansubs board created by an awesome /m/ member to centralize all /m/ projects made by /m/ members. You might find out something you like was being subbed without you knowing it!

I thought I'd share this one with you guys:

Fuck year, Xabungle!

I had no idea bluestone was an actual material so I find it really funny. Also, now I understand why Sardien wanted to write bluestone and not blue stones... hem. >_<;

Our awesome timer Sardien is moving, and won't have access to a computer for about three weeks. Let's wish him luck. =3

Our awesome editor Daironeri is going to Japan for a few weeks. Let's wish him a good trip. =3

And I huh... I'm just plain lazy. Don't wish me anything. I don't deserve it. XD Actually no, wish that I don't play Super Robot Wars K too much.

I'm on episode 11 of Xabungle at the moment though, and it's so insanely awesome that it'll get me motivated. Random translator misc info: found out "rolling up pipes" in Japanese means to get drunk. That's pretty weird.

Well, we have a blog! Also, it's blue.

Since you're here, you probably know that we're AXSUS, a.k.a. Anti Xabungle Subninja Union Subgroup, and that subbing Combat Mecha Xabungle, which is an awesome Tomino anime where people diss each other all the time, because that's how you survive in the desert. Maybe.

The Xabungle subninjas are always around and they managed to sink all Xabungle subbing projects for now. Due to their actions getting sneakier our translator had a hard drive fail and our editor had some computer problems too, but we're confident that we'll resist. We'll be doing the whole show, and then Xabungle Graffiti after, and we'll post direct links and torrents for our subs here.

Hope you enjoy Xabungle!
