We know it’s been a while since our last release, and we’re sorry, but we’ve decided to switch gears from Precure to Ponies.
It was the most effective thing we could find to get Rika-chama to get back to editing for us. (Well, that, and Sakura Trick ended, which was otherwise occupying his time).
So here you go, episode 1 of the Japanese version of MLP (English subbed of course).
TL: Kanmuri
Typesetting: K-o-R / PrecureJunkie

The status widget I wrote for WordPress that we’re using in the sidebar on the right which shows the progress towards completing upcoming episodes is now available on GitHub in case anyone else wants to use it or help make it work better. 🙂

Yep, that’s us. Working tirelessly through the night to bring you this. Makopi would be proud. *whistles innocently*

We had to issue a v2 b/c of an encoding snafu. This means that we won’t be able to issue a patch, so unfortunately you’ll have to re-download the episode to get the fixed version. And now, the rest of the blog post:
And wow, was this ever an intense episode for us to subtitle. Finally it’s here! On top of the typesetting and research stuff mentioned in the previous post, we had “real life” happen to several people on the staff at inopportune times and so stuff sat and waited for extended periods as well. But we finally got it all together, and here it is! We hope you enjoy it, since we had a lot of fun working on this one.
TL Note: There’s a scene right near the beginning where there’s a chart on the wall showing the top 10 scores on the recent exam. Rikka is in second place, which shocks everyone because she’s always had the highest score, and this is the first time she hasn’t. You can’t see it unless you turn the subtitles off (since we re-typeset the chart in English) but what’s cool here is the name of the first place student. His name is Tojou Hiroshi (十条 博士). What’s so great about that? Those kanji can also be read as “Juu Jou Hakase”, or “Ten List Expert”. Thus a literal reading of the kanji with a liberal translation gives you “I’m the smartest guy in this 10-person list!” Nice trolling, Toei!

So we’re really behind on Dokidoki at the moment. Besides the usual people having real life issues, at least part of the reason for that is episode 14. Rikka takes up Karuta, which is a very nuanced game with a lot of history. We pretty much spent three weeks doing translation checks and cross-checking against Karuta and 100 Poets information to make sure we’d get it right (and hopefully we did). It’ll probably be a few days yet at least for episode 14. Most of that for typesetting. And no, we’re not insane enough to typeset all the cards. 🙂 But there was a LOT of typesetting in episode 14 even not counting the cards. 15, 16, 17, and 18 are all near the front of the queue and will hopefully come out in rapid succession once 14 is out the door. Sorry for all the delay!
This episode seemed entirely intended to remind us how much of a Mary Sue Mana really is.
Toei might give us QUALITY but we here at CureCom strive for Quality. And with that we bring you another quality release of DokiDoki! Precure, in which Rikka gets jeallous of Makopi because she’s getting to spend more time with Mana than her.
Episodes 11 and 12 are both coming soon (but probably not today).
