[02:45] <blackguard> the sigh he holds up is fantasting
So, it’s been a while since there’s been any update about progress on the blog. The main reason for this was because there wasn’t any. It is, however, quite amazing how quickly things can turn around. We have had the good fortune to acquire both a new TL (welcome zaudragon) and a new TLC (welcome sputnik). So what does this mean? Well, it means our main project, Mouryou no Hako, is back online. As we have previously stated, we will be working with the Blu Rays, which we are in the process of procuring.
As for our other project, Blade of the Immortal, the official status is that it is not dropped. That being said, our new staff have joined us to work on Mouryou, and so unless we find someone who wants to translate BotI expect progress on it to be slow to non-existent (If anyone reading this feels they’re up to the job, applications are open so feel free to drop by #norikumi and poke either myself or blackguard)
We at Norikumi are very excited that MnH is finally moving again, expect something from us in the not too distant future.

UPDATE: Whoever did it has our thanks. We’ve found the BD.
Well since Urexis hogged the first part of the post, quoting my tired self for your amusement, I guess I can afford to make an addendum here.

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
We’re not exactly gonna buy the BD box, since it’s 170 bucks – way above our budget. Instead we’re hoping that kind jp anons will have the heart to upload it on PD.

Well, Yousei-Raws are going to release BD-rips of Mouryo in a few days so if you can’t find something else you can get theirs.
[Reply]
Yea, actually, we found it, but forgot to update.
Thanks for the heads up though

I’m glad things are going well then. I downloaded the Blu-ray rip of episode one to check it out and it looks incredible beautiful, I’ll be waiting for your subs.
[Reply]
1 giga per episode? I know it´s BD rip, I´m not complaining, just asking: are you guys gonna re-encode this? Or just add the subtitles
[Reply]
Shaya: we’re not reencoding the Y-R rips or just adding the subtitles on theirs. We’re working with the genuine BDs.
At the moment we’re not quite sure what the file size will be, but our encoder is fiddling around with it.

All of you amuse me greatly. \(=3=)/

You best not be thinking that we were sitting on our behinds this whole time.

I will only actually believe you weren’t when my daily check-up on TokyoTosho yields a torrent saying “[Norikumi] Mouryou no Hako 1-13 [1080p]“.
Really, nothing against you, but empiricism isn’t your friend right now >.<
