Hey!
So first off I'd like to say that this show has no connection to Rumic Theater whatsoever, so not having seen Rumic Theater will not affect your enjoyment of this show ^_^
I think this is one of the greatest horror stories ever told! What do you all think?
Did you like ep 1? Any other old-school Rumiko Takahashi fans going crazy right now w/ excitement? :D :D
-Tofu
-
yay! all of the new shows are unusual and exciting. thank you for subbing them.
mermaid's forest ep 1 was interesting... i watched the episode before reading the "mermaid primer," so i was really surprised at how they were presented. yuta and mana look like they'll be good protagonists, looking forward to the rest of the series.
-
im having a problem with the episode..it gets to a certain point and then the sound continues the picture doesnt..it's a bit choppy & pixilated in parts too but I don't know if it's my computer or the episode...I think i'll try to download it again because I need to see how the episode ends now! :)
-
i also have a problem. my picture jumps... i dont know if i can explein it better but it's like the picture blinks or something. really trubelling.
-
i had the same problem, but it stopped after i installed the newest version of the xvid....
-
I just want to say thank you guys so much for subbing this! I've been a fan of this series since Viz started to release them in comic form. (Man that seems like such a long time ago... ^_^) have every issue they put out. (I'm a total old school Rumiko Takahashi fan and I am going crazy with excitement!!)
But I first heard about Mermaid's Forest becoming a TV series from you on this forum, and when I read the post I was freaking out! (But I just became a forum member right now ^-^)
But seriosuly I've always loved this series and I'm still blown away it's gettings a TV series! Thanks again for subbing it! You've really made me happy!
-
Um ... let's see. Sorry if I'm being a nuisance and posting in the wrong forum ... I'm having a problem watching episode 1 of Mermaid's Forest. I know I'm supposed to download the latest xvid codec and all that, but I have a Macintosh so it can't open the .exe file that the codec downloads as. So I'm kinda stuck ... I was able to watch your Rumic Theater episodes with the earlier xvid by getting the ffmpegX program, but Mermaid's Forest won't work. Is there any solution? Do I just have to wait until I can get to a Windows-computer to download the episode?
I was able to get sound though. It sounds pretty!! Heh ^ˆ^;
-
Umm, if you could watch the Rumic Theater eps, then you should be able to watch Mermaid's Forest...
I actually used the exact same encoding settings O_O;;;
Sure you tried everything?
-Tofu
-
im having the same problem for mermaid's forest, the entire video's pictures jump around
-
Well, I didn't try a whole lot, but I opened it in ffmpegX like I usually do for Rumic Theater and other xvid files, and when I clicked the "Play" button nothing happened (usually a little icon pops up and a window opens up to play the video). I guess I'll keep messing with it and see what I can do ... thanks.
-
Ep1 looked good, can't wait to get my grubby QCing hands on ep2.
-
Ep 1 was soooo good. my baby sister flipped when i told her you were doing this one so now i have to hook her up since her connection is crap.anyway as usual fantastic job can't wait for more.i've been looking forward to this one i do enjoy a story with a dark plot and well lets face it everything Rumiko Takahashi does is fantastic. After all she is one of the main reasons i'm such a huge anime fan.well keep up the great work.
-
I liked what I saw, the story seems interresting, I like the first season, I didn't know this before, and I do not know the artist or any of his or her other work, so I'm not that much of an old school fan, but a new one none the less.
I sometimes also have problems with xvid codec, I guess it can't be helped, all except the first one of the 1st season work for me, I'm still trying to think of new ways to get it to show.
Maybe I can upload it into flash and let it re-code it in it's own codec, I shall have to try and see if that works, that is, if it'll let it be imported into the program, it refused to load in VDub, Premiere and AfterEffects, but since I'm skilled enough to create games in Flash I might be able to use actionscript to load it and decode and re-code it, who knows, it just might work or not, I'll look into it in the upcoming days, don't expect anything though, if I do find out a way, I'll let you all know.
Anyways, it looks like it's going to be a very nice serie, is there going to be a 3rd season? I can hardly wait for that already! ;D :D
-
Well I didn't have any prob.s, but then again I have all the latest codecs!!! :P
Oh, I've once again fallen in love with Rumiko Takahashi's beautiful universe! I just can't get enough of her work- especially these shorter series because although I'll never miss an Inuyasha, the plot became v-e-r-y redundant about 100 eps ago.
Isn't Mana hot? I wish I looked like her. Now if they could only get Sesshomeru to do a cameo... mmmmm Sesshomeru...
*idle hands slowly make their way down to warm sticky genitals*

A little too much info there chii :o
-
thanx 4 this ep...
quite interesting :)

A little too much info there chii
oops... just couldn't help myself ;D
-
is it me or is the 2nd ep a little bit choppy??? ???
-
The 1st and 2nd ep are kinda choppy for me too. Where the heck can I get that new codec everyone was talking about? I read that someone's video was fixed once they installed it.
??? ???
-
http://roeder.goe.net/%7Ekoepi/xvid.shtml
This is koepi's website with the xvid codec. Make sure you get the UNSTABLE codec (four updates down). If you get the stable codec instead, the video wil play but will be extremely choppy.
-
All you guys having codec problems, I have none. Neither do I have Xvid nor Divx installed. Indeed different versions of Xvid encoders combined with differed Xvid decoders have produced nightmares for me until I stopped using Xvid.
I use FFDshow from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/, a generic MP4 decoder, that has greater picture results decoding both XVID and Divx than both themselves. You can tell it to use FFDshow or XVID or Divx or not, when its installed.
Regards,
Bluey.
-
hi all i can only say that i've seen the 2 episodes and have no problems with the codecs.
I recommend also the ffdshow pack
And i have a question...
Episode 3 is not out yet. True?... cos ive searched and didnt find... if it's out please please and again please tell me where!! :P
-
It runs fine for me also.
I gotta check the eps to see if there was a special thanks to me on meraid's forest.
So I dont know whats up with your guys.
Vash XD
-
Wow, I had no idea they started a series for this! I LOVED the movie "Mermaid Forest" and read the 4 comics of that storyline, but have yet to buy the graphic novels and read it all. Is anyone else upset that the video is out of print? And it's never on ebay when I look. At least now there is a whole series about it!
I'm currently using BitTorrent to download episode one, and it says it's going to take 47 hours. Should I just download IRC and get it from there instead? I've never used IRC before, so I'm somewhat nervous.
Anyway, I'm really excited to watch this! I hope it's as good as I want it to be!
-
No need, I'll seed RTMF this saturday all the way through sunday night, I am not an IRC-fan myself and since I'm behind a router which IRC seems to hate I stick to BT aswell, I am so happy BT is there, BT-ownage!!!
Ha,so I thought right, it does look a lot like Inu Yasha's art, heh, and I just found out that RT is earlier work.
I haven't seen much of InuYasha and it's very difficult to come by where I live, and they don't show it on TV here, I doubt they ever will, I must admit it's the most longest anime serie I have heard off, lol, never enough information, information = Knowledge and Knowledge = Power, lmao. Sess is very molestable so I can understand.

Yeah, I'm having my boyfriend download it now through BT since I couldn't figure out IRC.
In looking at the art of the RT movies, Yuto looks a lot like Ryoga from Ranma 1/2. But the art in the TV series leans towards Inuyasha. Ranma 1/2 is much longer than Inuyasha, but that could change since it's still being made. I by far prefer the Mermaid's Forest story over Inuyasha, not that I don't like it, I just like MF better. I've loved it ever since I saw the movie, but I think I said that already.
Can't wait to see episode four today!
-
Just finished ep5 edit earlier today, so you should see a release soon.
This episode is good, look forward to it :)
-
And another fine job it was too, this series is a pleasure to QC.
-

It makes sense that this was done earlier because the animation is not quite as 'high-tech' as the new Inuyashas. When was RTMF originally made? Mid 90s maybe?
And yeah, don't all the women look like Sango?
-
Mermaid's Forest is a brand new series, it is currently airing in Japan right now.
-
I just watched epi 1, after fixing some of the problems I had with the playback of the file. I found it interesting as well. Does anyone know how many episodes there are in total?
Thanks :)
-
What is Rumic Theater? Is it the same as Mermaid's Forest or another series altogether?
-
Rumic Theather is the 1st season (the story has nothing to do with Mermaid's Forest) and the first season consist out of small stories, I loved that season, still do actually.
If you get episode 1 of Rumic Theather to work, please tell me how, I've been trying to get it work for a long time, not to mention I DLed it again and still not working, I can't even tell you how much I DLed that file, lol.
-
What is Rumic Theater? Is it the same as Mermaid's Forest or another series altogether?
Rumic Theater is built on a series of short-stories by Takahashi Rumiko. Most of these were published in english under the title "Rumic Theater" by... Viz I think, which is why we chose that translation of the title.
Rumic Theater was 13 eps, and the series that followed in the current season was Mermaid's Forest.
That is why Mermaid's Forest is regarded as season 2, even though the two stories aren't related.
-
I've had trouble getting onto the message boards for awhile.
I just wanted to say thank you for episode 7! Each time I watch it gets better. Not just the show, but your subtitling and the picture improves (because of the new codec?). Thank you so much! I can't wait for the next episode. ;D
-
Firstly, as a raving old-school Takahashi fan, I'd like to thank y'all soooo much for subbing this and RT. MF is probably my favorite Takahashi story series of all time, and Yamadera Kouichi's voice acting as Yuta as well... ( for those of you who don't know, he was Yuta in the original MF ova as well as Ryoga in Ranma 1/2) at any rate, thank you for making thsi available!
I haven't seen a new episode up in a while though, and I was wondering why...I hope you haven't decided to drop the series!
-
Like was mentioned above: I too love the series. And I'm also waiting on eps. 10 and 11. Have you in fact dropped it? I sure hope not, heh heh.
-
/me pokes akahige|asleep
-
*b* cause that OMFS IS TI DROPPT thread annoys me and i REALLY dont want it topped like that
-
Hey, I don't mind if you guys take your time. ;D It gives me time to work on the website I started making for Mermaid's Forest. I got sidetracked making it awhile ago, so it isn't nearly finished.
Besides, the series itself doesn't really have any closure. At least, the manga didn't, so I'm assuming the anime won't as well since they parallel so closely.
I should probably try downloading one of your other titles while I'm waiting...
-
Were not taking are time on it.
When will it be out. --> thats Classified
Is it done --> Also Classified
Will it be out soon. --> Yes it will
Just wait and see cause u never know what we will do.
HA HA HA HA HA "EVIL LAUGH"

Remember kids the more grammar and spelling mistakes you make in your post, the faster 1010011 will get to reaching critical mass and EXPLOAD! ;D
-
I didn't mean to sound rude, Vash. I just meant if you are working on other projects or taking a break or are learning to become a juggler ???, I don't really care as long as it comes out eventually.
-
see? marylin has the right idea ^_^ it's just a fansub, gotta take life easy, besides, there's plenty of good anime out there subbed by l-e and other groups not named mermaid's forest..........
(i REALLY wanna see eps 10 and 11 too)
speaking of, i have a huge backlog of Hundred Stories that i haven't seen yet :-X i wonder when i'll get to watching that...........
-
I was just being a ass about my last post.
Its coming very soon so just please wait.
Thanks
Vash XD
-
IT'S OVER.
IT'S DONE.
THANKS.
-
Thanks for the last episodes of Mermaid's Forest.
I really enjoyed the last installment, it's so touching and sad. I like it a lot.
Really a pity that it ended this way *snif*
I would love to see more of it. It's the famous neverending ending from Takahashi-sensei *sigh*
Anyway great job Live-Evil!!! Keep it coming!!!
;D

Hi, I was wondering if anybody else was having problems with their last two episodes of MF...
The episodes for me are still watchable, it's just that every once in a while I'll get a bunch of neon green squares on the screen and the image will blur a bit. I've downloaded it a couple times and it still happens. I'm just wondering if it's the episode or if something is happening when it downloads b/c I haven't had any problem with the other episodes ^_^
On the other hand, it's a great show and thanks so much for subbing it! That and Rumic Theater! Does anyone know if there's a soundtrack for these shows? I just *love* the opening and ending themes...
Thanks again!
-
Yatta!! It's done! ;D
Thank you very much, Live-eviL!!
But it's kind of sad that MF has no 'real' ending. I'd like to know if Yuta and Mana will find what they are looking for one day ...
@HikaruChan: I think it is a codec problem. I had some problems, too, but installing ffdshow worked very well.
I haven't heard anything about a soundtrack, sorry.
-
Sounds like an open ending. I really need to get my leeching hat and get the eps.
-
Thanks for the help Saya, ffdshow worked nicely ^_^ Although I've been able to watch the other episodes without problem...hmmm...very strange indeed...
yeah, it's an open ending because the manga is still going...well kinda, it's on hiatus right now (I hate it when manga-ka's do that >_<) but rumor has it Rumiko is going to pick it up again after she finishes Inuyasha...so who knows ^_^
Oh, and I'm going to answer my own question. After a *lot* of searching, and posting on forums asking, I found a soundtrack for both Rumic Theater and Mermaid's Forest, if anyone's interested.
http://store.yahoo.com/animenation/iocd-11045.html
*sigh* Figures...it's in the most obvious place, and the last place I think to look.... :-[
-
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=IOCD-11045
cheaper, but shipping from japan is a bitch..........of course i'm always wary of any english language site that sells anime soundtracks, since it's so easy to buy a bootleg, but at first glance animenation looks legit
-
"but rumor has it Rumiko is going to pick it up again after she finishes Inuyasha...so who knows ^_^ "
Till inuyasha is done? guys... inuyasha is still ongoing .. If mermaid forest was open ending.. inuyasha is never ending... they allways keep on finding ways to stretch it out and start all over again.
as long as Inuyasha is a money cow... it will not end...
Cheers
Vantur ;D
-
but rumor has it Rumiko is going to pick it up again after she finishes Inuyasha...
So in 10 years she'll continue the manga?
I'm sad that it's over, but what LE title should I begin watching next?? I don't really know what any of the other shows are about. Any recommendations?
-
Well, if you have patience I'd say watch Gilgamesh... It takes a while to get going but it is very interesting...
I'd definitely recommend Yawara! and Galaxy Railways... If you do not mind old style animation watch 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother and Galaxy Express 999 too!
What sort of shows do you like? Maybe I can narrow it down more ^^;
-Tofu
-
as long as Inuyasha is a money cow... it will not end...
Actually, the manga is ending somewhere in between this upcoming September and December. The magazine she publishes through has a limit on the number of chapters she can do and she's fast approaching that limit ^_^;;;
The anime is another story...
But that means that it won't be long until she does more Mermaid Saga ^_^ As was said on another board, that's a story she tends to do between longer ones so....
-
Inuyasha is going to end soon?
Finally *phew*
Don't misunderstood pls. I love the anime & manga but they're just painfully long and the story is going on in circle. I'm kinda glad it's nearing it's end. Just hope that it's a good ending. I'm rarely satisfied with Takahashi's sensei ending. Maison Ikkoku's was good though :)
-
uhm... there's a page in japanese that sais that there are another 2 episodes of the series (12+13) which would be "Mermaid's Scar" part 1+2:
http://www.dvd.netyokocho.jp/animation/PCBE-60039/
are you going to translate them too? thanx for the other 11 eps by the way ^^;
-
Yes! I didn't see that, thanks for pointing it out... If it is true we will most definitely be subtitling it when it is released ^^;
-Tofu
-
Hi, i wondered on AnimeNFO site and found out about you guys, LIVE-EVIL , I went to IRC but was unable to find out how I download the episodes. I was looking for Mermaid's.
Could any of you help me, directing me?
Thanks :)
Rui

Rui, I don't know about IRC, but you can download the files with bit torrent from here:
http://a.scarywater.net/live-evil/
Go here for an explination of how bit torrent works. It's simpler than it sounds. http://a.scarywater.net/torrent/clients/
-
for a complete irc downloading guide refer to http://ronin.daug.net
as for finding our channel, make sure you are connected to irc.enterthegame.com before you try joining #live-evil
also in my opinion animenfo is not a very good source for information about recent anime. i use www.envirosphere.com for fansub release updates (and other useful information), and www.jascii.net for reviews of recent anime.
-
Thank you very much ;D
I'll try to download them.
-
Hi, I love this series. I downloaded the series but somehow I lost the last couple of series all from the last batch torrent. However I can't find the torrent link anymore. ??? Please tell me I can still get the series from the batch torrent! :'( Thanks ;D
-
It's licensed. You'll have to wait for the dvds
-
Thanks a lot also for this series... here in Italy it has not been licensed yet ^_^
-
Does anyone has a bitorrent link to download this series ?
-
Does anyone has a bitorrent link to download this series ?
The only place you will be able to find that stuff is via streamload and some hidden boards.. you can try googling for anime streamload
However I am just giving you the info in case the series is not licensed in your area.... however unfortunately I cannot help you beyond that..
also note streamload is not free.. its not expensive but its not freeloader friendly.
I would highly recommend also trying to obtain the dvds themselves
Once again this series has been dropped by Live-evil.. all commentaries Ive posted are not related to live-evil
