Title: Ask Dr. Rin Status
Post by: WillTRiker on September 12, 2005, 11:59:25 am
Hope this is allowed (if not I'm sure the mods know what to do  ;D ), but I'd like to enquire about the status of Ask Dr. Rin ... and no I don't mean when is the next release ... just your re-assurement that live-evil is still working on it. It's kinda old school anime (imho anyway), but I like the easy pacing and I'm a sucker for romance stories so I like it a lot.

Initially I was getting the stuff from Kuonji, but after L-E sort of reactivated this projected they dropped of the planet so I got L-E's stuff instead, but after episode 6 it's been eerily quiet and it was just getting good.

Kinda bumping this back on topic ... since it's over 2 months ago I hope people don't mind (to much). Just re-checking on the status of this project ... I take it real life and other projects have pushed back this one? .... or the quality process on this one is REALLY tough  ;)

Like I said here -> http://forum.live-evil.org/index.php/topic,856.0.html this project is currently in Tofusensei's hands(and has been for a LONG LONG LONG time). He's currently AWOL (absent without leave). If you want it go bug him via Tofusensei/Tofu2 (IRC) Tofusensei (AIM) or tofusensei@live-evil.org (email)

Heh, I may have to personally hijack this project, as well as GE 999.   ;)
What do you, the fans, think of that? You think we should wait for Tofu, or let me handle things in a brisk and proffesional manner? ;D

  Hi everyone! I'm another big fan of what I've seen of this anime so far, and just like WillTRiker I was just wondering if this project is still going or not. I hope it is because I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of this anime. Its excellent!

STATUS IS STALLED; MONDO STALLED.
No man is brave enough to deal with the Dark Shoujo Arts.
I woulda done it, being the awsome, fearless guy that I am, but Harlock is cooler. Tetsuro is cooler. And even some of the characters in QM. But Mostly Harlock. I mean face it, If You Had Dr. Rin VS Harlock, the outcome is SO OBVIOUS!

DRRN:The wind is blowing East, and my special color is blue, so i need to expect Mr. Harlock to come from the direction of the park.
<GunShot Noise from a different direction than that of the park>
HRLK:Every person forges his own destiny. (Wind blows, causing his hair to undulate dramatically, at which point, he walks off)
BUT THEN, That Guy that is evil is like WTF! NO ONE KILLS MY SOON TO BE GIRLFRIEND!! OMG!!!
And he gets all in Harlocks face, and is like shouting things at him, like "Wallhacker" and "NetDecker" and bascially acting like a brat. But then Harlock Shoots him and says something like:
HRLK:Real men do not complain. If you had cared that much, you should have protected her. (then the BIRD perches on his shoulder, and he walks off!)

BUT THEN, the GUARDIAN DRAGON SPIRITS COME, and they are (I know its hard to figure out why) PISSED. I mean like ANGRY PISSED. They try to attack the Arcadia, but then Captain harlock smiles, and they shit their celestial pants when they realized how outclassed they are, and offer Harlock an unconditional truce. but then harlock says OPEN FIRE, and they shoot the Dragons DEAD!!! Harlock is then Harlock is all like
HRLK: You should have prepared yourself for such an outcome before. Hrmpf. "Guardian" spirits these days.

At which point, all the gurls are like OMG What a SUPERSTUD, and TRY TO MAKE OUT WITH HIM, but he is all like NO WAY, IM TOO COOL FOR GURLZ!!!  :D

However, the epic chronicle does not end here! The monkey thing was plotting revenge during that time, however, his plans did not come close to inevitable failure, as a taxodermist caught him and boiled all his skin off so he could study his skeleton.

Hrm. Are there any characters left? I *Think* I got everyone. Hrm....

  Wow that sounds like some real trouble! I think..... Actually I'm not sure ;D But if it means that the Dr. Rin project just got shot to bits beyond all hope of redemption than I am all for marching up to Heaven and kicking the ass of anyone who stands in the way to get it back!!!!!! >:( WHO"S WITH ME!!!!!?????

No, it's not blown to bits completely; Fantasy settings have revolving pearly gates.
At the moment, NO ONE seems to want to work on it, and All the people I know are working very dilligently on their own projects.
Worry not; This series isn't exactly as hot as a ten-dollar laser, so it doesn't look like great licensing bait.
Give it a bit.

  I suppose this is sort of off the subject, but I've suddenly come to a point in my life where I have absolutely nothing to do and infinate time on my hands. I was wondering if there's anything a very enthusiastic trainable, and above all available girl like me can do to help out a fansubbing group. I'm a quick learner and I really really REALLY! want some productive way to use my time again. So if there's any kind of useful thing I could do that doesn't involve knowing Japanese I'd love to help out! Ok end of promotional :)

 So way back in like December of 2005 you talked about hijacking this project and working on it Masakari. Whatever happened to that ??? Also, do you really need or want me to join the group and help out if I can? I've sent you at least 2 PM's about it and I still haven't gotten any kind of answer I could use. I'll be waiting to hear back but I guess this time I know better than to hold me breath ;)

He tried. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.  :-\ However, the project is definately not dead, just stalled. Here is an update.

In early May, episode 7 was reviewed by Live-evil's quality control team. This is usually a good indication that it will be coming out sometime in the next week or two. This time it didn't. About a month later Live-eviL's fearless leader, Gumbaloon, sent me out on a search and rescue mission.

It turns out that one of our resources has disappeared. (This is a common occurence, we all have lives to lead.  :P)

For now, we are trying to get him back, or at least get copies of some inportant files from him that we need to carry on.

It was about then, however, that Tsubasa volunteered to do translation checking for Creamy Mami. Creamy Mami is my favourite Live-eviL project. My time will  be tied up for at least a month longer in getting the remaining Mami episodes out. Once this is done I will probalby put some more effort into reviving Dr. Rin.

The good news is that I have found enough people with the skills needed to continue the Dr. Rin project. If these resources stay available, we may get this project revivied in the early fall.

(P.S. I have to go now. I'll respond to the other half of your message "shortly" and try to recruit you for the Live-eviL quality control team.  ;D)

Willow rocks to one side, rolls to the other, does a hip lift, ...

er, um, right! About joining the group.

Click on this link.

It's one of several detailed messages on how to join Live-eviL's QC team, what it's like to be in the team, yadda, yadda, yadda. I've told our fearless leader, Gumbaloom to expect you to contact him. Click on the link to get contact info.

I am so looking forward to seeing you in the team. Judging by the various messages you've left on the forum lately, you rock too. I think you'll find that a lot of the QC staff are a lot of fun to know.

Ciao.  8)

Ok, I know its been a long time since anyone has seen activity from the Ask. Dr. Rin! project, but this message is for any fans that are left. In recent discussions amongst the LE staff, it has become apparent that there are a decent number of us that are still very interested in Rin and would like to get this project moving again. There is just one major obstacle holding us back from doing that. We no longer have an official DVD raw source. This problem can be solved in a number of ways:

1) Since I am interested enough in Rin to buy the series myself, wait for me to finally get a job again and do it. (Definately not going to be a quick solution.)

2) If one of you fans has the Rin DVD's, or knows someone who does, volenteer them for LE to use.

3) We could take up a general collection and hope that enough fans are intersted and we get enough $$$ to buy the DVD's. (Also probably not a quick/good solution.)

As you can see, the lack of a raw source is a major problem, and until this issue can be resolved, sadly, none of us can expect to see much more from this series.  :'(

Post by: mocoto on August 23, 2006, 02:23:46 pm
Maybe Galen Musbach has the DVD ? He seems to collect most (if not all) DVD boxes of mahou shoujo stuff and he has posted here in the forum offering to help L-E with some raws (check the Creamy Mami thread). Maybe he doesn't have them, but I guess asking wouldn't hurt.

Another option would be using the HK DVD for raws. The HK guys have released the entire Ask Dr. Rin series and the DVDs can be bought from ebay for cheap. But they're bootlegs, of course, and maybe you won't want to work with them.

Thanks for the suggestions! I sent a PM to Galen, so we'll see what happens with that! In case it doesn't pan out though, if anyone else out there can volunteer a raw source for us it would be much appreciated!

I don't have Dr. Rin but have now ordered Box 1 (CD Japan); I'll get box 2 later. Once it arrives, how do I get the data to the encoder? (My upload speed is about 50 MB per hour. 25 GB of data is therefore a 500 hour upload.)

Wow Galen! It seems like everybody wants to get their hands on the raws! Guess we'll have to duke it out amongst ourselves first to figure out who gets the privilege! ;)

Give me your best shot guys!  >:(

Hehe  ;D

Actually, StarCreator should be the one that you send the raws to. As far as I know, neither WillowD or I even have any experience with encoding, and StarCreator has been the encoder for the previously released episodes I believe, so there is really no contest.  ;)

And now I'm changing my answer yet again to: Answer Pending until all interested parties can get together and discuss the best course of action.

Stay tuned to for the actual answer, and possibly more bonus flip-flopping from me!   ;) ;D

Sorry, I was conversing with gumbaloom the other day and he was talking about you encoding, but I guess he was referring to you wish to encode Rin in the future, not that you had encoded for Rin in the past. My mistake! :P :D

I suppose this is a long shot, but...

I need the font "Officina Sans OS ITC TT", which may have the filename "OFFSNOWI.TTF".  This, with another missing font that was just recovered, is a major hurdle in releasing Dr. Rin the way I'd like it to look.

EDIT: I found what may be a more recent revision of the same font.  Given that I have had no luck finding the exact font, I suppose a substitution is in order.  Hopefully there isn't a noticable difference.

I wonder what would happen if Captain Harlock had to fight Dr. Rin?

To start with, they would do a lot of talking while they manouvered around each other. (Talking is required in fight scenes.) Pretty soon, they would discover they aren't enemies. I see it ending with a sun set picnic on the sea shore, with Harlock's young lady friend invited along.

It is not stalled. It has all the necessary staff and raws and such. Right now the issue is just the fact that everyone working on it has very busy lives, so stuff will be going slowly right now.  :-\ But episodes 8 and 9 are being worked on at the moment, so please be patient with us.

so the last time I asked was october 30, and I see the project status still hasn't changed from translation check stage.

do you guys need more translation checkers? it's possible I could help, although I'm not sure howuseful I'd be.
I don't know japanese too well, but I could tell you if the english makes sense.

anyways, thanks for all the wonderful anime you guys release! DN and Galaxy Express 999 ROCK!!

(and so does dr. rin)

Well, to answer your question, the status for Ask Dr. Rin does not necessarily change to reflect progress through different stages for an episode, because the project manager is not from this group and does not post project updates on this site. As of now though, episode 8 is at editing, episode 9 is at tl check, and episode 10 is at translation.

/blows in with the wind to check

Ugh ... almost painfull to read how little progress has been made even after more staff jumped on. This is not a stab at the people working on it as I know how real life business can cut into ones other pasttimes, but it sure is somewhat disheartening to see after I got my hopes up on more and quicker releases. Assuming and hoping that L-E finishes this off I think I'm better off collecting the series first and then start watching it taking into account the release 'schedule'.

Now that you guys dropped Death Note I sort of hope that some of the people working on that can help out on this one ... or Tsubasa Chronicle 2nd Season for that matter as I'd love to see you finish that one as well.

Anyway, just posting my 2cts worth along with others and I'll check by in about 3 months or so to see how things stand. In the meantime ... thanks for everything sofar.

I only wish I could comment on why the project is going so slowly, but I can't give specifics and not piss off people I or Live-eviL are working with possibly. So the best thing I can say probably is politics. If anyone really would like to know specifically, you can always PM me to ask. :D

Indeed I popped my head in to the Rin joint channel earlier on today. Let me say this, Rin isn't in the state that it WAS. Before there was no interested translators and no raw source but at least now we have a raw source and a tl'er committed to the project.

The current delays are not insurmountable they are now just the normal trials and tribulations of the processing of fansubs. So take heart folks, sooner or later you will have more Rin goodness, it's gone from an almost impossible to possible now :).

I think we can be a little more specific. One of the key people working on Ask Dr. Rin! got a paid contract three weeks ago and will be a tad busy for a while. How long was not specified.

Imagine that! Thinking that paid work comes before fan-subbing.  :o

Seriously, Gum is right. This project is in far better shape than before. If it stays stalled, we will eventually look into getting alternate people to fill in.

Yeah basically our pig was paid to model for a calendar and then do some photo shoots for a magazine.  He gets paid by the hour and he gets all the vegetables and hay he can eat.  So he has been a bit busy as of late; hopefully in several weeks he can get back to releasing those Ask Dr. Rin! episodes that everyone has been waiting for. 
Title: Re: Ask Dr. Rin Status
Post by: Willow on February 28, 2007, 03:05:51 am
Episode 8 is in QC. I just saw it. This episode is fantastic.

Oh, you want to know why it's so great? Sorry, I don't post spoilers. You'll just have to wait until it's released.  ;D

Seriously, thanks to Bobby6, the people working on this series have gotten reorganized. Backup staff has been found so that we have at least two people capable of doing any one task. Episode 8 could easily be released in the next week or so. Episode 9 is almost ready for QC. Episode 10 is currently being translated. We expect to generate raws for episodes 11 and 12 later this week, which will be handed out to two more eager translators.

So keep an eye out for the release, fellow fans, for the wait has been worth it.

sigh..... i feel so guilty writing this because i''m so nervous someone will think i am complaining, yet i'm really not. in any case, i will wait forever for this series to be subbed without complaint if need be, however i was wondering, did the project stall again, or something? because there seems to be nothing happening since the release of ep 9.

if you don't feel like answering, please don't. i don't really need to know. but if you do, i will appreciated it tremendously. thank you!

When it comes to this project there is a rather sad phenomena that we can not seem to overcome no matter how hard we try....  :-\

That is that the various people working on the project get motivated to work on it, but it always seems to be only a few people at a time, and in order to release an episode, everyone needs to do their part in it since all of the jobs are essential. That being said... the current part it's stuck on (and has been for a few months) is translation. If we do get beyond that finally at some point I'll be happy to make an update post.

UPDATE

The pig has cleared episode 10 for release, over the objections of both the astrologer and the feng-shui master.

The astrologer had indicated that the configuration of the stars did not bode well for any release in the month of October, and urged that all October releases be held back until the heavens indicated the time was right for a release.

The feng-shui master objected on the basis of a release held on the rising of Niao and the falling of Xu, Mao, the white tiger and the dark turtle.  He believed that a release would be irresponsible and result in the loss of 1000 acres in rainforest in Malaysia, of 97 office ladies in Nagasaki quitting their jobs in protest, and of the continuation of the single-child policy of the People's Republic of China.

Despite their vehement objects to any release, the pig used his veto power to override their objections despite threats of work stoppage and resignation.

Hence and thereafter, the pig has willed it, and so, it shall be done.  All praise unto the pig.

The pig is adorable, and I'm very happy, but did he change his mind? It's almost the end of October, so I was just wondering if the Zen master sided with the other two and convinced him to wait.  :'(
Title: Re: Ask Dr. Rin Status
Post by: Sindobook on October 30, 2007, 10:24:32 pm
The pig clearing something for release means just that.  It means that the pig has fulfilled his duties in giving the permission and authorization to the group to release the work, _when it is ready_. 

The pig is always at least "fashionably on time" in the fulfillment of his duties, but this doesn't mean that others will follow suit in their duties.  Just b'cos the pig is perfect doesn't mean that you should expect that of everyone.

Look at the bright side, two episodes of Shion no Ou came out this month, and those could've been delayed for weeks if not months had the pig not used his veto power.

And feel free to send the same to starcreator at juno.com and starcreator at gmail.com on email! ;)

Call up the pig on Skype (find the contact info on the site) and ask him nicely.  Sometimes if he is feeling nice you can convince him to send you a few raws in exchange for sending him goodies in trade.  He really likes carrots, romaine lettuce, and certain fruits like 'cuties' (a type of seedless tangerine or orange derivative popular on the US west coast).  You might want to brush up on your shougi skills, the last person who managed to get raws out of him won a bet they could beat him at shougi.
