Just a quick question though; how come Rumbel get a credit on Bleach but Flomp doesn’t on Gintama? Aren’t you more or less just the one group?
Strider said,
July 1, 2008 at 3:12 am
Thank you so much ! Now it’s time for me to work on the french translation ! =)
jonnyquesty2k said,
July 1, 2008 at 3:44 am
@zenshinzenrei: No. Simple said. The Answer is… Flomp is pablo212’s group while Rumbel is another group for which pablo212 does Encoding for. Yes, they share the same tracker but no means the same group on its own.
jonnyquesty2k said,
July 1, 2008 at 3:46 am
As for why Rumbel is credited. Because various members from the Rumbel team help out Flomp with Bleach, pablo is obviously included.

I agree with the above ^ comment it can get quite confusing to find episode numbers. Perhaps more tags so instead of Anime it could be Bleach. that way only bleach will be shown or something.

I hope they plan on finishing it, seeing as how I provided them with the raw for the last 8 eps not too long after volume 12 came out.
The Flux Liner said,
July 9, 2008 at 5:44 am
Maybe we should do a “Flomp/Eureka Seven”-Petition at petitiononline.com? Haha, just joking. But so far the Flomp releases were always of the highest quality and it would be very, very sad if they decide to drop it at this point. That would be like Michelangelo never finished the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Like he painted only the Creation & the Downfall of Man and then just stopped.
But the comment of MojoJDH above gives me hope.

Before we worry about series what about the rest of bleach?
MojoJDH said,
July 10, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Bleach is one of those shows that just keeps on going, even once you catch up they keep on going, E7 has a finite 50 episode run, bleach still has no end in sight. And I just looked at mylong on:
Session Start: Sun May 18 01:15:58 2008
I had this conversation.
[01:17] Any news on E7?

[01:20] stfu
[01:20] good question
[01:21] lol there I said something
[01:21]
[01:21] pablo212, he of all people has a right to ask
[01:21] well its in timing/QC stage atm
[01:21] so give me a couple of days to finalize it all
That was almost a month ago, maybe they ran into a snag, like someone leaving or someone got too busy, who knows, it should really have been done already.
MojoJDH said,
July 11, 2008 at 3:52 am
Correction I thought it was still June for some reason, that was nearly 2 months ago.

“in all honesty I have lost interest in subbing bleach at all its just too much of a hassle on top of the fact that it is fillers”
Then why not finish E7? Eight episodes left and everybody involved will become immortal
because this is the only way I can become immortal, too. That said, I wish more people would seed (and I mean longer than 5 minutes after the download is complete).
Right now I am seeding E7 “01-26″ (my maximum upload speed is 30kBs…

What’s with this reluctance? Why not drop it until fillers end? Or you like to tortu^Wconfuse your fans?
Ishida Wraith said,
July 16, 2008 at 10:46 am
If someone is a fan of BLEACH, he watches BLEACH, top to bottom, that’s it, better or worse
the moment someone starts complaining dropping words like “filler” and such you know he is the usual leecher or internet anime nerd who just wants to kill time,
what those people want is like taking a brilliant 9 minute TOOL song and chop it into a catchy 3 minute radio edit,
If Flomp “halts” BLEACH know we know what kind of group they are
SIMPLE AS THAT;
tell me I’m wrong
Ishida Wraith
The Flux Liner said,
July 16, 2008 at 1:20 pm
You are totally right, Ishida! Bleach is now their “flagship-project” and it would be seen as a sign of weakness if they drop it because of ‘fillers’. (btw your TOOL-comparision reminds me of the horrible edit of the 23-minute Pink Floyd song “Echoes” on the most recent Best-Of!)
What I think though, is that if you have the opportunity to finish something, no matter what that is, you should do it. And this is why I said they should finish Eureka SeveN now. I believe once this is done, their collective creative energies will be replenished (and ready to tackle Bleach again). Ever heard of the Zeigarnik Effect? It seems that having too many unfinished projects can lead to negative mental health.
josh said,
July 16, 2008 at 6:58 pm
i honestly dont care all that much for bleach anymore. Enough people sub it so if they drop it fine but no one else has subbed E7 in such a high quality with also as good of subbing as they do.
Credibility said,
July 16, 2008 at 10:44 pm
I think Flomp should do one of the following, not sub the fillers, drop bleach, or disband the group. I watch Bleach, but I refuse to watch pointless retarded fillers. I see why they aren’t subbing them right now. But Flomp isn’t doing anything, they haven’t subbed episode 2 of xxxHOLiC Kei or finish Eureka Seven. They haven’t done much in the past 2 months. They look pretty dead to me. So Pablo what are you going to do? Let the people know.
Credibility said,
July 16, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Or you can wait until the Bleach fillers are over.
Credibility said,
July 16, 2008 at 10:55 pm
You should finish Eureka Seven, but you need to drop Bleach or xxxHOLiC Kei. You have too much work.
Aninomus said,
July 17, 2008 at 5:57 am
So what if their fillers -I- happen to like them anyway and I can’t be the only one, all series have fillers thats no reason to drop a project. Plus how can we know for sure they are fillers, it would only be a filler if it does not tie into the main storyline at somepoint as long as they tie it in later we can’t call it a filler, and since no one here can go into the future there is no way to know if they tie in or not.
Hisui said,
July 17, 2008 at 7:33 am
The fillers for Bleach are ok and should be subbed. Ishida has it right. That is a general part of fansubbing.If anything, finish the Eureka 7 and probably drop xxxHOLiC.
I’d hate to see Bleach Society again.
pablo212 said,
July 17, 2008 at 8:31 am
It’s time for an update.
1. We had the TL’s done till 177 unfortunately I did them on my tower and lost all that work… so I would have to re-TL them… and for a filler arc I can’t be bothered to do it. Besides my only motivation to sub Bleach was my gf and she hates the fillers so… well either way I will attempt to do them this week.
2. Eureka Seven is sitting on my backup drive waiting for a final QC, but since I didn’t have that much time I haven’t gone through it. (I plan to do that this weekend for the final 8 episodes)
3. The TL for xxxHolic Kei, said she needs to focus on school for her graduating class and university degree…. so she can’t TL… and asked me to finish up. If I get a chance I will do it.
No, we are not dead, just I had other things to deal with, aka Job-hunting, gf, my final class for masters, partying for my birthday, summer vacation, and doing an insane amount of work for Rumbel and the other groups I am in.

good luck with your work

if you can hook up your computer to a big TV monitor supporting 1024×768 resolution, DB bleach looks perfect on it. especially if your TV has picture enhancing built-in. my RCA SD-TV (thats standard definition) does the job great.
dont get me wrong. when flomp lets out another ep, already seen or not, i still watch it so it will look nice on my laptop LCD (the best looking flat monitors, PSP’s LCD for example).
i agree with ishida wraith (scroll up, he is someone who posted) all the way. but i figured the ones crying “filler” were just manga tards. sorry, but your manga doesnt have swords clashing together, therefore, is NOT cool enough for me.
ForceDestroyer said,
July 19, 2008 at 8:58 am
pablo212:
As I said all the time: If you say you’re not doing the filler arc and returning for the real show, that’s fine. DB should be good enough for fillers, I usually delete or even skip fillers anyways. Just please don’t have the project die the way Bleach-Society died: loosing all the motivation on a pointless arc. Please keep track of Bleach and return if/when its style returns once again.
Either way, it’d be cool to inform us on your final decision, so in case you don’t do them, we can commit blasphemy and get the DB sub for the time being. I care way more about you staying motivated to sub good stuff than forcing yourself to deliver episodes for everyones recycle bin.
“Name” above me: I have not read the manga. Still, I’m probably one of these “manga tards”, as I seem to not like the stories that don’t match the manga for their “style”. So what?
Ischaldirh said,
July 19, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Maybe I’m just weird, but I download, watch, and keep every episode. This current filler arc is a bit weird, but I started watching it and now I want to know the rest of the story. So yeah, I agree: If you’re not going to sub the fillers, please please please let us know so we can stop waiting and go download DB.
Gonzoe said,
July 20, 2008 at 9:39 am
oh is DB still subbing bleach? i dont have irc and they never answer my Emails so maybe one of u bleach fans can answer me
thankyou

DB is still subbing. despite their attitude towards high quality, they seem as though they will sub bleach until it ends.
Ishida Wraith said,
July 22, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Just like I said above, this group showed what low class they are,
as expected the comments are filled with the same internet anime nerd complaining nonsence and in the end Bleach is left without decent quality translated episodes;
any questions ?!
Conspiracy theory !
DB is translating Bleach, right ?
Rather punctually, right ?
Suspiciously punctually, right ?!
DB episodes can be found on:
“Fansite” servere
Anime Distribution site servers that grand access upon “donation”
Sites that call it payment and not “donation”, like hentaikey
Bootlegged DVDs found on eBay and even Amazon
endless commerical stream sites
Also, even though you’d expect BD to have some encoding experience, they are…hmmm no offence but…well they suck at that
So DB uses the worst but most compatible format (avi), when it comes to playback, conversion to DVD format and conversion to live stream and they are motivated to deliver every week on time, honestly i don’t think a bunch of complaining brats in front of their computers who barely like anime are enough motivation for that kind of punctuallity
or DB just likes their shows (is better than flomp, ha!) and i am just going crazy

Now I guess not that much of an idiot, as I don’t really get why you should be. Agreed, the second post has a different Image and is written weird in comparison to the first, I can’t really understand the sentence structure. So doesn’t ypur post make sense? Different EMail –> different pic?
(Though I don’t get his first post either - comparing cutting away original content to cutting away add-ins deviating from the original is weird. No, I’m not a fan of “Radio Edits” and u can’t say that of me just ’cause I call the Bount arc fillers.
)
The Flux Liner said,
July 25, 2008 at 6:49 pm
“Different EMail –> different pic?”
Well, that is possibility No. 1. I thought about that, too. Another one would be: cookies deleted –> blog searches for cookie, but it isn’t there; so blog thinks different commenter, thus the different pic.
The third and final possibility I can think of would be some sort of whois-IP-check (regarding the geographical location of the commenter). But I don’t think there is such a plugin for WordPress and it wouldn’t work anyway because there could be several commenters from the exact same region. So I think maybe Ishida simply deleted his cookies at some point.
I hope what I just wrote makes sense because I really need some sleep now…

Ishida Wraith said,
July 30, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Both above comments are mine, the only reason I visit again now is to see any replies to my “conspiracy theory”
I still think Flomp is a group of people not very different from the usual internet anime horde that only wants to pass the time.
My conspiracy comment (if anyone understood it), was all about why DB (Dattebayo fansub group not Dragon Ball haha ! ) is so commited, do they simply like the series they do or do they do the series because of other “distribution” methods. Every group says they work for no money, that’s just a tagline
ADC-Elites did One Piece for some time.
ADC-Distro shamelessly exploits anime by gathering many titles on a server and charges “donations” to grand access. Non-profitable my ass, how stupid do they think we are. (ever wandered why all those sites that desperately ask for donations at the end of the month, are still up the month after even though noone donated)
Do you see a connection between the two ADC ?
Now, i haven’t seen DB do a single thing to stop Naruto and Bleach from being used on stream sites, “distro” servers, hentaikey, bootleg DVDs etc. And don’t forget Naruto and Bleach are the most popular shows of the kind.
Yet they panctually do ( by do i mean translate) the shows and use the ever so convenient avi format.
DB is not the name of some Distro site as well, but after seeing their work on a shit load of commercial outlets, I thought come on, what the fuck
~Ishida Wraith~
Name (required) said,
July 30, 2008 at 11:13 pm
well i dont think they will get paid for this. http://www.dattebayo.com/pr/86
maybe theyll release some high quality episodes some time after the results are in? that is assuming most people choose strongly agree next to the line “High definition releases are important to me in a fansub”.
Spiral Devil said,
August 6, 2008 at 1:31 am
DB is a laughing stock
they took over Naruto when it was dropped from previous group DUE TO LICENCE
they translate the best shows and they managed to limit their audience to the dumbest anime fans on earth
they are so low that they feel nice only by making fun of the dumbest anime fans on earth
their translators are smart enough to work with the worst encoders on earth
check for naruto softsubs on isohunt, they are the only group so bad that people steal (via OCR) their subtitles to use with raws and release them on torrents
if the last point isn’t telling you something, i don’t know what else to say
gxseries said,
August 6, 2008 at 11:36 am
Ishida Wraith, your point about how DB is not making an effort to stop various sites is completely wrong and baseless. Youtomb is a public site tracked by MIT that keeps a log of what videos get deleted off youtube although they do not keep a complete log.
Gawker.com has reported it a few months ago but I believe the article has been deleted. I don’t appreciate the fact that people claim so many stuffs with no proper backup proofs.
Spiral Devil, apparently you don’t get the fact that because there are no other groups that are able to compete, they are forced to steal translations from us and save their time. I don’t care about high quality video. Our subs original purpose to encourage people to buy the original dvd.
