Dual-Duality's Base

http://www.dual-duality.org

Now most likely nobody is reading this, but it will be entertaining for those that are to read this. I mentioned change about 3 months ago, and I have changed, and so has the group. And almost all of it is for the better. Things have basically reached a point where I can firmly say that I am happy with how things are progressing. This website, is no longer needed and is now only a remnant of the past. A new more powerful more amazing more incredible more mind blowing more spine tingling more sex drive enhancing more impregnating more just plain awesome website is being made. New members have been added and a few have left, some not entirely. Its all sort of hit full tilt right now and things have yet to find a standard rhythem. When the dust settles and the clouds open up, you will be shown a new Dual-Duality, one of the likes of which you have never seen before. Let all who stand before me tremble in fear, for I am longer the moderately adept encoder I was before, I have gotten exponentially better. But enough talk about me , there is work to be done. If you want to know the ETA for the new website look at the countdown on the right

One of the comments on the last post, has sort of caught my attention, and I really feel that I should respond to this

Are you serious? How can you post an update when the last two have been 'we finished stuff! we've got stuff coming!' but you haven't released anything in a month and a half? What happened to that "2 episodes a week" and "one DVD series a week" stuff?If you aren't going to or can't release shit, stop saying you are going to "SOON". You announce more and more and more and more but none of it ever sees the light of day, or you move on to something else after doing one or two episodes of a show.

You people are a complete joke.

Well, I think you sort of have the right to say that, we have been delaying shit and not getting things released. I do apologize for the lack of follow through on our part, and I would like to say to you that most of the issues we are having are really having to do with getting everything perfect, rather than releasing some have half baked shit encode then fading out of existence.
Alot of the problem also stems from me mainly encoding things, then not not completing the rest of the process, IE subs , which is really lame on my part. Becuase to be honest I have over 40 episodes encoded and ready for release. (Galaxy Angels is almost done I am only 1 dvd away but I decided to just wait until I finish it all to release it, which is something I probably should of stated earlier)
And I am not gonna make excuses like "we are still a new group and you should not expect much from us" or "we have not gotten everything in motion yet" or "we have not gotten a system down yet" because that would be pointless. If we make promises we should deliver on them not forget about them.
The only thing I will say, is that when my computer got messed up that really threw a hitch in my plans, but it was not big enough to have caused all of this , same goes for when Light went to New York, again a minor delay but nothing that should of caused this backlog of unfulfilled demands.

And so I apologize to you, and everyone for not being good to my word.
I will make no further statement on the status of releases, but I can say that the most recent ones have a 80% chance of coming true atleast.

I have updated the releases schedule, you can find it on the release schedule page, or here on pastebin

I kind of wonder what the point of putting text here is when I have included all relevant details in the post title.

However, since you have nothing to watch, I might as well give you something to read, I suppose. The Profileth's computer has been acting up lately, and by acting up, what I mean is that it has been shutting down.

Normally, a computer shutting down isn't a bad thing. However, when it shuts down when you're in the middle of doing things like encoding some video while playing Crysis on the highest video settings while storing your computer in the same oven you're cooking your dinner in, that is a bad thing.

To conclude, The Profileth should really invest in some cooling equipment for his computer, or at least stop storing it places that are traditionally kept at 80 degrees C.

Now, the slower-witted among you may be wondering to yourselves, "how does this affect me?" Well, what it means is that we're going to be going a bit slower on this whole release thing than usual. Of course, going slower than zero is not something that can be accomplished by your ordinary layperson. It requires at least several ordinary laypersons, preferably full of various illegal stimulants. Our plan of action is to steadily remove our releases. Once they're all gone, well that's a secret, but rest assured that unprogress must continue!

Translator's note: if you were dumb enough to think that we're going to be removing the small amount of things we've actually released, pat yourself on the back for being able to read and breathe at the same time. IF you aren't passed out, that is.

Either way, The Profileth will be taking some time to try to diagnose the problem, and if that doesn't succeed, he'll probably dump all of the encoding work on lightningedger and we'll run from there.

Hi I am lightningedger, this was brought to my attention by The_Profileth who invited me into the group after noticing that I did rips for animepassion.tv.
At first I only did this so that I could have a file copy of the show I watch without carrying the disks around, but now that I have found out that a person could change the by writing some code, I became ecstatic (I love my coding). I plan to stay as long as any skill I have or obtain is needed. That looks like I am in for a very long time lol.

I am currently working on Read Or Die: The TV, DearS, and Elemental Gelade

My favorite image is this:













If you like this image check out my site
This site is created by me but the images were not and as you can see I host me own Cydia repo with my custom made Anime theme that you all can take and use

That is all

Don't cry everyone, I just need to go on vacation for a week and I will return, hopefully this will give lightningblade the opportunity to freshen up on his avisynth skills and hopefully get better while I am gone, either way when I get back I have several new BD projects that I can start and alot of Galaxy Angels that I need to release.

Yay finally I release something! Well either way its a great show and I used an EXTREMELY good source, it as a restored laserdisc that has been IVTC and all the other fancy things, I did some moderate tweaks but the majority of the work was done by the person who restored the disc. Please note that this show is from 1986 but is none the less a classic and still extremely enjoyable. Either way the quality is vastly improved ANY previous encode ever made and that is not just me being cocky.

Specs
Source: restored R2 laserdisc and R1 DVD's for audio 

Well from what I have been reading, and from the "people" who contacted me, apparently Funimation just licensed a bunch of shows, now the shows from Geneon are almost 100% being taken by Funimation which includes all of Tenchi Muyo, so basically if that is true then Tenchi is only gonna get a private staff and friends only release, I really hope that Funimation Releases the BD's for Tenchi and I actually would not mind seeing upscales of the other shows to tell the truth I mean something is better than nothing.

Well for accidentally deleting Sashamaru's post I will try and test out this new feature.
And for those of you with a sense of humor, rejoice at this classic

Alright so here is the news and results and other stuff
Lets get started with the results from the polls and what they mean.

Kurokami	17 (62%)
Martian Succesor Nadesico	8 (29%)
Black Lagoon	3 (11%)
Read or Die OVA and TV	12 (44%)
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki	5 (18%)
Fate/Stay Night	9 (33%)
Shin Koihime Musou	7 (25%)

So Kurokami scored the most votes (thanks to many votes from the same people :P but I saw that it was in the lead originally) well there is good news and bad news concerning Kurokami.
The good news is that the release for it is gonna be a very fast one
The bad news is that it is a private release, so let me clarify what private means too, it means staff and friends only and it also means, that it is english only, maybe with subs too if I have them.

Ok so now, the second place winner was Read or Die, (again thanks to lots of extra votes) but this one was actually pretty low or moderate in the standings, either way I do not want to do it right now, I don't know why but I just don't. Maybe if things go well.........

3rd place is Fate/Stay Night (much to John's dismay) well hmmm, I want to do this show BUT I think I am gonna hold off for a bit and see how the other polls turn out, plus I already have raws for the other shows. Don't worry guys I will show you just how badly I can beat THORA, just you wait and see.

A close 4th place winner is Martian Succesor Nadesico which is a project I have taken a very high interest in for a while now, so this show is most likely going to be done by me and thanks to good old Sashamaru it will be in dual audio, just as god intended ;)

A close 5th place is Shin Koihime Musou, well hopefully you know that I am doing this show already so yea, I am gonna do this show, and make proper subs for it. No I do not speak Japanese, I mean I will take commie subs and make them better so there will be no one who will have to figure out what mana means!
To go with this release I will be doing the first season...first? Yes so I already have the first iso downloaded so I jsut need to get to work on that, the DVD looks ok, it does need some work though.What is gonna take time is those terrible subs, they are SOOO bad, I mean they have translation notes when you DO NO need them and the translation notes are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND when you DO NEED THEM. Either way I basically will not be doing any extra translation notes, but what I will be doing is rewriting the entire thing pretty much, or alteast that parts that sound bad (most of it) to make them  sound more like proper english. Also one thing they did which I hate is when a character talks about themselves in the 3rd person they change it to first person. I mean you are changing how the character acts!!! Why would you do that, either way I need to restore all of those scenes too, which makes this not just a normal resubbing attempt.

lol Oh and before I forget, Black Lagoon was just a place holder really lol, but if enough people had wanted me to do it I might of done it. I never actually expected much from this one.

And coming in last place is Tenchi Muyo! You guys just lack taste I swear, I mean you want A-S to be your provider of  HD Tenchi, I don't think so. Either way THIS is a show I WILL be doing as I already have raws for it AND it comes with english audio (WIN) so all we need to do is encode it and then make some subs.

So to summarize this all

Kurokami   NO public release, BD's look too good 17 (62%) Martian Succesor Nadesico Most likely 8 (29%) Black Lagoon lol 3 (11%) Read or Die OVA and TV Meh probably not 12 (44%) Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki Definetly 5 (18%) Fate/Stay Night Eventually 9 (33%) Shin Koihime Musou Yup already planned 7 (25%)

Let it be noted that we will not, and I repeat, will not be releasing Shin Koihime Musou until after we have done the first season, Koihime Musou, so the point of this update is basically to taunt you with something that you will not be seeing for a long time. Ha, ha, suckers! Oh, and the subs for the first season suck because they were (to put it nicely) "very literal" which basically means that the translator could not speak English. (see picture above for subs)

So yeah, we're done with encoding the first episode of Shin Koihime Musou.

Here, we want to be able to see all of the details in the background that were destroyed by some maniac who failed to properly filter the raw. If there are no details, we'll make them ourselves, damn it! This is how committed we are to the cause (T/N: unfunny encoding joke is unfunny).

Anyway, onto the rant (short rant, lots of parenthetical notations). I was told to tell the world at large that something like The Profileth needs to prep the encodes for everything else we're doing (if I listed them all here, you'd be reading for a month), like Koihime Musou (probably using something along the lines of awarpsharp(depth=64,blurlevel=4), if the above picture is any indication of the source) and QC them, and then the releases will just start coming out. Like diarrhea.

That was disgusting. Forgive me.

(Note from the team: no animals were hurt in the process of this encode.　By that we mean that no actual warpsharpening has occured, so quit yer' bitchin).

Something tells me I'm probably going to get censored.

T/N: when we say we need to prep, that means adding audio tracks and styling the subs and doing some QC. That does not mean we will be Encoding The Entire Show From Scratch. Although it will probably take that long.)

PICTURE GALLERY TIEM!1!!!!one!

HEY KIDS YOU SHOULD ALL TRY TO GROW BIG DETERMINATIONS. IN YOUR PANTS. CONFUSE THE LADIES. OR MAYBE THE MEN. IT'S UNCLEAR WHO IS TALKING IN THIS PICTURE. THIS WAS A SMALL PICTURE GALLERY SEE YOU LATER FOLKS.

Last minute tack on that nobody will read because it occurs after all the spam: we don't even have the ISOs for Koihime Musou yet, much less working scripts/encodes. I told you you'd have to wait.

IPromiseThisistheLastNote: we're so obsessed with quality, it took us 2 hours to put this post together!



HA I LIED AREN'T I A GREAT PERSON

Last edited by: The Profileth

So, uh, letsee here. I got conned into working for The Profileth after I started lurking on his IRC channel after I heard someone complaining about him. I am basically useless. Anyone can be a hero.

Nice to meet you, I am a hyperintelligent time traveling alien from the gamma quadrant. I came back in time to share my knowledge of time traveling with the rest of the historical spectrum in an effort to completely screw up the established system of cause and effect. After failing in that endeavor due to a series of highly unlikely circumstances that really could not have been avoided on my part, several of which involved entire animal species going extinct, I had nearly given up on my life.

But then I remembered I was a hyperintelligent time traveling alien. So I decided to waste my free time doing useless stuff like QCing the same show from v1 to v10910298 and being a sub retard.

Contrary to popular belief, I only exist on IRC (I forgot to mention that I'm a virtual hyperintelligent time traveling alien), so uh yeah. I doubt that information will really be useful to anyone. One last useless note is that my opinions tend to be diametrically opposed to The Profileth's, so we argue a lot. It's fun. If you're insane. Which I think we are.

Introduction over.

PS: A new foe has appeared.
*Edit By The Profileth * Well I might aswell say that I will be forcing him to do various jobs because as diligent and hardworking I am when it comes to video, anything else is pretty bleh. So he probably will be doing my subs for some shows after I give him the styling set up, he also will be here to help QC a good bit and make updates as I force make encourage all new slaves cultists worshippers members.
