Naruto Shippuuden is dropped because of :reasons:. Please don't ask us to pick it up again.
In other news, we're branching into music etc; please request if you want music programs capped.
2010-08-15
In case you didn't notice, Strike Witches 2 is no longer getting capped from BS-NTV. We're getting the Tokyo MX airing instead, since it's one day earlier. We couldn't do this before because of tuner conflicts, but we have more hardware now. Also, Giant Killing is back on BShi. The release schedule has been updated.
2010-08-12
Missed caps recently (because of capbox rebootings and clock failures):
- Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds - 122
- Naruto Shippuuden - 173
- Heroman - 20
None of these will be released later; they don't reair anywhere convenient.

We now have a donation button. We'd be very happy if you used it. :]
2010-08-09
We now have DDL available. Be aware that the retention time is extremely short (stuff gets deleted after a day or two) so you better download fast.

WOWOW (extremely high quality satellite pay-per-view channel) is having an Animu Week or two, so here's a list of upcoming movies and other potentially interesting stuff:
- 2010-08-06, TV Tokyo: Naruto Shippuuden Movie 3: Hi no Ishi o Tsugu Mono (2009) (hurr durr Naruto)
- 2010-08-09, WOWOW: Piano no Mori (2007)
- 2010-08-10 and 2010-08-11, WOWOW: Hellsing Ultimate 01-07 (6 and 7 have Blurays out already but 1-5 doesn't; there's a boxset coming September 30th though so the the entire exercise is sort of questionable, but still)
- 2010-08-14, WOWOW: Highlander: The Search for Vengeance (2007) (yes there is a Highlander anime, lorf)
None of these (except Hellsing 6 and 7) are out on Bluray yet, hence the caps. If you spot anything else interesting that isn't Pokemon and isn't out on Bluray yet, feel free to inform us. I don't suppose anyone wants the Zeta Gundam movies from some shitty AT-X HD-like H.264 channel so I didn't bother adding those, but yell if you think it's worth it (it isn't, that shit probably has a bitrate of like 3mbps for 1440x1080i).

Pokemon is now dropped because #pocketmonsters ([PM]) have decided to stop subbing it because people were doing things they didn't want with their subs. We sympathize with their plight and hope that all of you can learn to live without Pokemon in the future.
Edit: if you want it back, go ask #pocketmonsters@irc.pocketmonsters.net and www.pocketmonsters.net to start releasing it again. If they do, we might pick it back up.

Automatic releasing broke this Thursday just after everyone went on vacation, see the news post.
2010-07-18
No Heartcatch Precure and Kamen Rider W this week because of technical difficulties.
2010-07-07
Some of you might have noticed we released Porco Rosso last week. NTV are currently doing a Ghibli themed month or something and airing Ghibli movies in HD on friday nights. Upcoming movies:
- July 9: Whisper of the Heart (1995)
- July 16: Howl's Moving Castle (2004)
- July 23: My Neighbor Totoro (1998)
Don't expect too much from these; while Porco Rosso at least appeared to be HD, NTV's MPEG2 encoder sucks dongs and makes everything look like shit.
Oh, and on an unrelated topic, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is cancelled because like three people downloaded it and it has an inconvenient timeslot. Also, Daimajin Kanon is not getting capped this week because it conflicts with Katanagatari episode 7.
2010-07-01
The summer season has started, and it's shit. Nevertheless we plan on capping (almost) everything, just because we can. YES, this means you don't have to ask if we're capping show X.
Some random notes:
- Nurarihyon no Mago airs on YTV one day before it airs on Tokyo MX, but we're capping it on Tokyo MX anyway because YTV are being faggots and airing it in some block of other shit so we can't release it automatically without getting at least 3GB of other unrelated shit in the same TS.
- Mitsudomoe first airs on CBC, but we don't get that channel so we're getting the MBS version instead; it airs one day later there.
- Seitokai Yakuindomo will be capped from TVK (the first airing) if we can get the signal amplifier to cooperate (edit: we could). If this fails you'll have to wait several days for the next airing on a channel we get.
- Strike Witches 2 first airs on Teletama but we don't get that channel either so we're getting the Tokyo MX airing instead, one day later. Edit: just kidding, the Tokyo MX airing conflicts with stuff so we're getting the BS-NTV airing on friday night/saturday morning instead.
- We are preliminarily not going to cap Kuruneko 2, because we suspect there are like three people who care about it. If you are one of those, let us know and we may reconsider.
The release schedule has been updated, but not all summer shows are there yet.
While we're announcing things we might also add that Giant Killing on NHK BShi is removed from the capping schedule for the time being because of technical difficulties.

I care about Kuruneko 2. ^_^
July 25th, 2010 - 03:50
Where is the Totoro?
July 29th, 2010 - 01:53
Could you release totoro? I’m realy eager to watch it in HD
August 5th, 2010 - 13:29
Returni pokemon. How do your releases associated with the PM?
August 5th, 2010 - 13:34
They do not even use your video. They have their own record from TV Tokyo
August 5th, 2010 - 16:14
Please don’t drop Pokemon. I don’t care about PM since I know Japanese and need only raw. Please don’t make pokemon release depend on them. Why raw supposed to be depend on sub anyway..?
August 5th, 2010 - 17:13
Ah, come on, who cares about PM? It’s not like someone cares about subs for opkemon…
August 6th, 2010 - 06:59
Exactly, I don’t know what the Issue was, but I think everyone in the Pokemon fan community is tired of #PM and their controlling ways of thinking Pokemon is owned by them — only releasing it to a small limited amount of people (The small amount on their IRC Channel.)
I hope you guys reconsider because you’re all we had to getting a recent raw.
Especially with the new Season coming out.
August 6th, 2010 - 07:11
Sorry for the double post. But I have a question…
Does this mean no Pokemon Sunday either? (Probably yes, but I just want to confirm.)
August 6th, 2010 - 08:14
Correct.
August 6th, 2010 - 17:04
guys, answer me One Thing:
Based on what I understood Reading Your Post Poketmonsters.net has stopped Subing Pokemon, right?
Now My Question is: What’s The Problem With The Distribution Of Raws?
Until I understand they’re frustrated with that which for them may be new, something called “Plagiarism”, But It Can not Stop The Work Of Other Fansubs, who depend on Raws To Work.
So I ask you to reconsider Distribution Of The Pokemon’s Raws, It is very difficult to find raws with the quality That you offer.
Thank you very much
August 6th, 2010 - 21:54
tl;dr
August 6th, 2010 - 23:36
I just don’t get it, why does your release of Pokemon effect what people are doing with #PM’s subs? It doesn’t make any sense.
August 6th, 2010 - 23:47
Sorry, not why. How does your release of Pokemon effect what people are doing with #PM’s subs?
August 7th, 2010 - 05:49
lease bring Pokemon back — you’re all we really have as a raw source.
August 7th, 2010 - 05:50
please*
August 7th, 2010 - 06:11
bring pokemon back.
you guys are elitist, what do you care about pm anyway?
or at least finish the d/p series
August 7th, 2010 - 14:54
jesus christ shut up and go yell at #pocketmonsters instead
August 7th, 2010 - 15:20
Why did you stop capping because of them? I don’t understand?
August 7th, 2010 - 17:20
Guys, Thank you, thank you.
Pokemon is back, I can not believe!
I’m Starting The Download Right Now, No Delay, And No Matter The Size Of Files, Anything Goes For Pokemon!
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks, Thanks …..

After Episode 09 today in september is only 1 times Digimon Xros Wars, but with a 1hour special
9/7: Soccer (Japan vs Guatemala)
9/14: Digimon Xros Wars One-hour Special (Episode 10+11)
9/21: London Hearts Special
9/28: Minna no Katei no Igaku Special
the special I think is from 07:00 – 08:00 pm, so no Stitch at 9/14
Episode 12 is likely coming at 10/5 and I hope it’s coming weekly again then (maybe with 1 or 2 1hour specials because of the weeks without XW)
sources: http://digimonchannel.blog130.fc2.com/ (shows what comes in september) & http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/bangumi/ (shows this and next week, confirmation for the 9/7)
