And that, folks, I'm sure, is really why Thora hardcoded those karaoke-style subs: not to annoy you, but because these Advanced SubStation Alpha style subs are essentially 'scripted', in practice meaning half of the players out there either can't do em at all, or can't do em fast enough real time.

Or simply type: /msg THORA|Thunder xdcc send 285 In the stats window. Also, I was able to get all eps just fine, this way. You need a recent mIRC client, though.

Indeed, this is quite troubling. I haven't seen any new THORA subs on the xdcc server, either. I sure hope THORA hasn't given up on this project yet, or we're humped.

Have you tried their IRC server too? I was surprised I could download everything (see post above) without speed-caps even. P.S. Cute image of Grace O'Connor, BTW; she's so delightfully devious!

Why on Earth would you want that? You can download them from their IRC server 100x faster.

Thanks. got it all working now. Right channel, wrong server, after all. I found the new eps 19 + 20 here: /msg THORA|Chikara xdcc send #233 /msg THORA|Chikara xdcc send #234 EDIT: Turns out Chikara doesn't have ep 19. So, the correct xdcc numbers are: /msg THORA|Thunder xdcc send #233 = ep 19 /msg THORA|Chikara xdcc send #233 = ep 20

This must all sound rather daft to you guys, but I'm kinda new to these matters. So, how does one go about msg-ing such a bot? Seems I'm the only one on channel, and how do I ask it for a file? Thanks!

You mean #THORAnime@irc.rizon.net? There's no one on there, it seems.

Using torrents, it's apparently gonna cost me a ca. 2 weeks to get the THORA eps downloaded. Doesn't someone just have the THORA subs (just the subs) for eps 10-18? Or knows a subs-only torrent thereof? Thanks!

I guess expressed myself somewhat inaccurately. I should have said: "THORA does its own edit." I just think their 'finish' is better than that of other fansubs: nicely matched for Blu-Ray timing, for one, less spelling-errors, better positioned Karaoke; I dunno, I just favor their end-product. Speaking of which, where have the THORA subs gone to? http://getfansub.com/wiki/Macross_Frontier All THORA links as of ep 10 seem gone. Now I'm screwed. I'll do that. Thanks.

I really hope THORA will continue to make their own subs: I have everything from THORA up to ep 10 now (ordered the rest of all Blu-Rays the other day, too); the Aone/Menclave subs -- please, don't shoot me -- were not entirely on par with THORA's work, IHMO. P.S. What's with this? "February 7, 2009: The Complete Macross Translation Project has begun!" Okay, who's doing the translating? And where can I download 'em?

Finally, I found them here today: http://getfansub.com/wiki/Macross_Frontier Seems like a good URL to bookmark.

No offence, but it looks pretty crappy to me. Seems they go out of their way to avoid saying they support no HD audio of any kind: just DD 5.1 (and even that is questionable, as the specs say Dolbly Digital is only output at 2 channels!). And, no DTS, from the looks of it, either. Let alone multi-channel LPCM; or any LPCM variant, for that matter (Macross Frontier = LPCM 2.0!). So, I won't be ditching my PS3 for this piece of fei-oo any time soon.

I honestly wish the THORA subs (for eps 10-14, and all, really) would become available other than through torrents. I love Macross Frontier, but I'm not gonna run a trojan-ridden p2p network just to get the subs, and, worse, get the RIAA busting down my door because of it. p2p networks are rapidly becoming illegal anyway. Besides, I don't want to download gigs of episodes, either: I have the Blu-Rays; I just want the THORA subs! So, if someone would please be kind enough to upload these subs to rapidshare or some such, I would be most grateful. Thanks

Thora, if you're reading this, you're the man!!! Thank you!

Macross Frontier, Blu-Ray disc 5 has already been released. So, i really hope THORA and team will continue subbing.

To whoever it may concern, just a small observation on the ottherwise superb THORA subs: In Ep. 7, there's an unprintable character (appears as just a box), at: Dialogue: 0,0:01:02: Please- The dash character was an unprintable variation thereof. And here, in Ep. 10, 0,0:19:25: All right, here we go! Scene 47, Cut 11 I think this should probably be Take 11.

Thanks. Didn´t even know they had an IRC channel. I did, at long last, find the subs, though, at: http://getfansub.com/wiki/Macross_Frontier So, I'm fully up to speed now. N.B. Sorry for being 'difficult', but with all the crackdown on p2p networks, I'd rather not install that stuff. Nothing beats a good old-fashioned download.

While I'm at it, can the THORA subs be downloaded other than via torrents? I found Ep. 1-7 of the THORA releases posted on usenet, but can’t seem to locate 8-10 yet. Thanks

A most useful link, thank you! Man, it sucks being an anime newbie. I have to learn all these great resources from scratch; but this link definitely goes into my Favorites.

Thanks!! His subs rock! Impeccable timing and positioning. There's even annotation inside. Incredible! I can't imagine how much work must go into making these, but I'm very grateful to you subbers out there! And for a cool extra bonus, I changed the .ass file to display at 1920x1080 (because I'm reencoding the Blu-Rays at 1080p, with hardcoded subs, so I can stream em to my PS3), and the subs look actually much better positioned than they do at the 'original' 720p setting.

Please, if you, or anyone else, still has the English subtitles for the Yack Deculture Edition (as found on the Blu-Ray disc), I would be for ever grateful. I can't find them anywhere.

Yes, even though I know who the green-haired girl is, LOL, I'm still a noob. Very much so, actually, as I've just recently begun to expand my interest for anime. Sorry 'bout that. Okay, so I bought the 4 Blu-Ray discs of Macross Frontier, as I got a good feeling about the show. I read here people are actually learning Japanse. I'd love to do that too, but it'd probaby take me the better part of a century to master the language. So, in the interim, I'll settle for subtitles. Which is where my question comes in. I'm currently doing a high-quality reencoding of the Blu-Rays with hard-coded subs, in a streamable format for my PS3. I found several mkv files, by AonE-Gekkostate-Menclave (I take it those folks made the subs?). It has nice Substation Alpha subs in them. Just what the Doctor ordered. I already processed Ep. 1, but I can't find the subs for Episode 1, the 'Deculture' version. So, I was wondering whether someone could point me to them (assuming they exist at all). Much obliged. EDIT: On rapidshare, I found: http://rapidshare.com/files/133649829/_Q-R...tion.part01.rar But it seems password protected. Sigh. So, does anyone know the password for it?
