KienaiFind those Never Fading Rainbows

Got this done in less than 24 hours with sleep and work lol!. It’s just glorious. Timed in 40 minutes, thought of the effect while laying in bed. Woke up, styled it and finished timing the rest of it. Went to work. Came back, jumped right into it again. Effecting it and subbing the dialogue. ( TL’d by Me, Song was Translated by Arthuro once again. He’s the man. ) Then proceeded to encode. And after the upload and Post you have, from B’z The Best “ULTRA TREASURE” and the titular song of the latest DVD live gym from which this video was taken…. GLORY DAYS! Enjoy… this is really a touching song in many ways.

So HI! This release was started WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in April 2009. Amazingly this episode survived the brutal sun and the harsh winter to be released today. Kienai, joined by AZFS, have brought out this incredible release. I would like to say that this is gonna be one of the better cases that we have subbed as of late. This would have been out a lot sooner had the original Typesetter went missing for 2 months. And yes… we are making you wait for 262! Been treating everyone too nicely… let’s work up the suspense a little, and if you want to argue with that… You have to argue with…

SNAKE CONAN!!!

Expect more soon?

And this time it’s more of a Kienai Release. I timed and effected it myself. We got jmaeshawn to do the logo… looks nicez. And one of our tl’ers came around for the song TL. Once again a shoutout to Arthuro from his site for the interview translation. Many thanks! Look forward to a new karaoke sometime later in the month or in April.. kinda k-timed out atm LOL! NEXT KKS HINT: TAKARAMONO. With out further ado… the non-single from B’z 13th Album BIG MACHINE…

WAKE UP, RIGHT NOW!

Episode 393 is out for all’s enjoyment. It’s what you would expect of a one-parter. Criminal is real easy to guess, as well as the motive. STILL! It’s better than 433, 303, or the 405 in Borg… OMFG! Anyway. Towards the end of the episode, they went HARDCORE on the purple LOL. Like srsly. 261-262 should be out following this one. How soon? Hmmm… sooner than you think? Maybe? Dunno tune in to find out. ALSO, in other news… I’m sure you have seen the additional pages that were added recently. I have added the Download links from the conanquotes DB to it’s own page on our site. Of course hosted on Megaupload, don’t want people throttling my b/w lol! I am including completely unguarded streaming of all our stream-able episodes as well. This will include new episodes, but we would really like you to download if you are able to. That’s right… we still want you to download from the tracker as a first resort. Other than that… kick back and enjoy! More B’z coming at you soon too lol.

Detective Conan 393

This is the 2nd of the songs that I took a liking to while homeless here in Oregon. When I saw the video, I was like… ZOMG have to kara that. So here it is! Thanks to Arthuro from our partner B’z website for the translation of Koshi interacting with the crowd. Really makes this video what it is. I want the whole world to “MVP” along with the video

Hey! Kaitoukidsama here with another B’z release finally! This is an ode to my Summer here in Oregon. Filled with new meetings, new friends, new loves and new heartbreaks This song is mainly dedicated to my “hatsukoi” this summer. Ask on IRC, I’m sure we all remember that one. This is a wonderful song, and I tried to make the lyrics even more beautiful than Koshi intended when writing the music. Look forward to another release in a few days. I’m not seeing a Conan release for V-day unfortunately   Typesetter is mad busy lol. But do expect another B’z release, this one being the one meant for Valentine’s Day ofc… and expect a few announcements in the near future… Without further ado, I present Koi no Summer Session (Track 4 from Monster NOT A SINGLE… this being a live from MONSTER’S GARAGE DVD) And it’s available on the new Direct Download tab as well as HQ streaming. There is no LQ option, I’m sorry Kienai is a HQ group <3

Yes, you read that right! This set of releases is dedicated to all those Mitsuhiko lovers out there! (If there are any of those) XD

Also, this is a celebration of our 1-year anniversary of Kienai’s first Conan release that wasn’t Movie 11! Everyone get out your party hats and confetti

When I look back at our year as a team here at Kienai, comparing our older releases to our more recent ones, I can see how much we’ve grown as a team. Thanks to Kaitoukidsama’s improved encoding skills, our video quality has increased significantly, and as I hope you can see from my opening karaoke in these releases, I’m always striving to improve my typesetting skills as well.

We’ve also had many others who’ve helped us this past year. From having our editor, Jing, come and go, to the timers and QCers, I can tell we are just as dedicated to putting out high quality Conan releases as we were a year ago, and we plan to bring out many more releases in the year to come.

Anyway, as with last year’s release (421-422,433), we bring you another triplet of episodes: 289-290, and 303!

(which, unfortunately contain no references to red pandas)

Detective Conan 289 – 290

I think I can safely say that the whole team enjoyed working on these episodes. Personally, since these were mostly set outdoors meant that there was little ts’ing involved for me, so we could ultimately get these done a lot faster. (Always a plus!)

There’s a funny story about these, though. 290 would have been done in only two encodes, but somehow *points to Parkur* the following line made it into what would have been the release encode…

You can thank (or hate me) for this not being in the release...

Note: the first picture isn’t in the release either XD

—————————————

Detective Conan 303

This episode was good for what it is, although I could tell it was an AO right off the bat before I even looked up the episode information. Apparently, Mitsuhiko is so smart, he can even outmatch Conan in this ep!

—————————————

In the spirit of teamwork, we also have some staff comments on our first year anniversary:

Kaitoukidsama: It’s been a rough year for me here at Kienai. Things were finally getting on track. Then I decided to move 3000 miles away from everything I knew. Ended up being a more painful experience than I bargained for. First love, First heartbreak, Homelessness, High Unemployment, Bad Roommates… But I feel the experiences I’ve had here in Oregon made it all worthwhile. Towards the end of ‘09, I got back into the saddle and made some things happen.
We got stuff rolling and before we knew it were back in a system… Here’s to a Conan Filled 2010!!!!

—————————————

We’re planning to put out a Valentine’s Day release, and maybe some others before that, so look forward to those!

Detective Conan 392

SO! It’s been a while since our team has touched this area. In fact, we haven’t done it since B-Org over a year and a half ago. This episode had no problems with it other than frame issues… so it was easy to release. I worked hard to make the video look as crisp and clean as possible… so that these releases don’t pale in comparison to our friend Skyward’s encodes. We hope that we can continue this in the future. It’s been like 4 days since our last release and we already have one more for you… expect more in the following days.

and enjoy this rhyme:

Fresh off our 269-270 release, we’re ready to take on some new staffers. We have a lot of scripts coming in, and are in need of more people to keep the releases timely. Check the rhyme below:

Translators – Must be fluent enough in both Japanese and English to pass our TL test, which is graded by our head translator. Experience is not required.

Translation Checkers – Must have a very high understanding of Japanese and English and be able to perfect translated scripts. Experience is not required, but highly recommended.

Editors – Our editor has left for other projects, so this position is wide open. Must have a mastery of the English language, an advanced vocabulary, and an understanding of script flow and characterization. Experience is required.

Typesetter – Must be experienced, and must be fast. Needs to have advanced knowledge of ASS tags and coding. After Effects knowledge preferred, but not required. Jmaeshawn has very, very high standards, so talk to him specifically if you’re interested in this one.

Quality Checkers – Must be able to point out timing, editing, typesetting, and encoding errors. Slight understanding of Japanese is also a big plus. Experience is not required, but it’s certainly a good thing.

Distro – We’re in need of both XDCC bot providers and torrent seeders. Must have good bandwidth, a GREAT personality, and the time to hang around in/idle on our IRC channel nonstop. When we’re ready to release, we need seeds (you get an early look at all of our releases without doing much work this way, to note~).

If you’re interested, send an email to kienaifansubs@gmail.com or talk to a staff member on our IRC channel (click the “IRC Channel” tab to be directed).

Oh, and look forward to 392 in a week or two!

Detective Conan 269 – 270

We, at Kienai, are deeply apologetic for the wait on these releases. But you know the whole story so I won’t go into that now. All I can say is that we are getting back into full swing and should be knocking down releases like we used to. We can’t let AZFS keep showing us up >__>. MAKENAI YO!!!! GANBARIMASU!!!! Anywayz… I lazed about a bit and a new B’z release is NOT quite ready but it shall be soon. For now, enjoy the feel of Kienai again and patiently await our next release, which will not take 7 months to put out lol. Thanks for sticking by us. And have a Merry Christmas… even tho I’m miserable
