Unfortunately for you, reading posts is still mandatory.

While Santa didn’t bring any more episodes, he did bring us two new crew members, namely ThaEagle and Bocom, who will hopefully expedite the fansubbing process. No doubt you have heard of them (if you’re the kind of anime fan who actually cares about the people doing all the work), and know that they’re srsbzns, much like the rest of us here at Norikumi.

The usual Scarywater torrent:

As for the bots, the episode is available on both Norikumi|Hako and Norikumi|Stall

Were you expecting, perhaps, chopped liver?

Note that if you already have episode 03v2, you do NOT need the patch.

After weeks of hard work, fiddling around with everything in order to crank out the best quality, we present to you our first three episodes of Mouryou no Hako in eye-popping BD (though they come with certain caveats).

At first glance, you’ll notice the “not insignificant” file size. The reason for extra bang for your episode is the grainy nature of the video, and we decided that removing the grain might have detracted from the viewing experience the creators of the show intended us to have.

Another issue that might come up would be “Why isn’t it 1080p?”. The answer to this one is simple. The Blu-Ray video of Mouryou no Hako is simply an upscale of 720p, and keeping it as 1080p would have ultimately been a waste. With space/bandwidth/practicality in mind, we also opted for ordered chapters, the mechanics of which you may remember from our previous release. You will need the OP and ED in the same folder as the other episodes, and any player that supports ordered chapters will pick them up at the required time. Thus, considering the big file size for each episode, you will end up conserving a total of 1776 MB.

And last, but not least, and perhaps the question that may not have been asked, is “Why did it take so long?” Simply put, we had to redo all the typesetting, which was no small feat considering the amount of signs in this series. With this occasion, we’d also like to introduce one of our new staff members, Paradigm, to whom we owe a big debt of gratitude for putting up with our incessant nitpicking.

Now, for the sake of TL;DR, I’m gonna add more info here. We’ve made certain changes to the website, among the most visible being the new XDCC Bot List page, the addition of threaded comments, and the new “pretty” permalinks. More improvements will be made in the near future.

Expect 04 to arrive soon to an HDD near you. However. The release date for the other episodes is currently unknown, as people seem to be sequentially leaving on vacations, and the amount of work we can do at certain points is limited. As for me? I’m gonna have cold Mojitos in my cozy chair, getting tanned in front of my LCD.
As usual, we invite you to join our IRC channel at irc://irc.rizon.net/norikumi to idle around, and motivate us to work faster Up periscope!

Updates: Our TL decided to leave us because of RealLife™ problems, so we’re not going to be able do to anything withoug a new TL. If you are (or know) a JPN>EN translator that would be interested in helping us, send us a mail or drop by our irc channel. This applies for both Mouryou no Hako and Blade of the Immortal.

P.S.: We have 4 episodes ready, just waiting on the BD. So even if we don’t find a translator, we will release those for your viewing pleasure.
