DONE! lost a little sleep over these. learned my lesson. no more.  XD (i mean no more working my butt off to get subs out fast. does NOT mean i won't be doing anymore subs ^_^)

Thank you for all the comments and feedback (^^)

Subs for second episode can be found over at my LJ, here (too lazy to write a decent post here XD)

(^__^)v

So I thought I might as well post something every now and then ne ^^ What better thing to start with than a good dose of sharing.

On the spur of the moment, excitement, madness, blindness, call it whatever, I made my very first softsubs.
Shoot me now for coming up with certain ideas XD
Alright, the episode was upped on d-addicts since Friday, no one volunteered to do softsubs (hardsubs will be done by Kioku Fansubs).. so I thought, "I wanna try!"

So yes I did softsubs for the first episode of Last Friends. It was my first time ever; translating a drama and typesetting.. I'd already had a little experience with timing. So, if you decide to give my subs a try and have any suggestions or criticism please do tell ^^

So, I used the 704x396 DivX6 AVI uploaded on d-addicts to time, but nodokuto @LJ told me the subs apparently work properly on the 1280x720 video too.
It's a .ass file. Plays with media player classic and zoomplayer (from Combined Codec Community). Couldn't get it to work with VLC. Anyone know if .ass files don't work with VLC?

Credits are in the subs (please don't remove them), but:
-, Original script: どらま・のーと弐
-, Translation, timing & typesetting: suketeru @LJ (or suketeru @vox, but I use LJ more often obviously XD)

Don't forget to give the sub file the same name as your AVI file (except for the extension of course XD)

There are a coupla spots which I didn't translate 'cause either I couldn't tell what they were saying or I just couldn't bother XD It was just 3 tiny spots, and the talk was insignificant to the story (less than secondary people were doing the talking XD)

a coupla comments:

-, Timing Ryo-chan's parts was the hardest XD He has really short lines, and when he was given longer ones he just spat them out in one roll XD It often feels like he stumbles on his own words XD
-, Apparently in Japan there is no need to lock your bike. Is that true?
-, Japanese people seem to make toasts with anything; even a cup of coffee XD
-, On Ryo-chan again. I kinda cringed a coupla times for his acting, but then melted all the other times ^^; He's still super good looking even when he's mad. I think they chose a good actor to play the bad guy ^^
-, Masami and Asami.. Masami has good facial expressions, but totally fakes smiles and laughter in an annoyingly obvious way ^^; She also screeches a few times which kinda bugs me. Asami on the other hand ALWAYS screeches XD
-, Juri is cool. I like her ^^
-, Eita is cool too. I really liked him in the bar scene ^^
-, CAPS! I wanna do some caps for more comments. But they will be spoilers. I don't have time right now -more like I should be in bed. I'll do them tomorrow or sth ^^

By the way, about the subbing thing. I wanted to give it a try, that's all. I can't guarantee I'll be doing any other episodes. Hmmmm I wonder if anyone would be willing to do the timing ^^;

Rating for the first episode in Kanto region: 13.9 [source: d-addicts wiki]

So ..? what do you think of my first post ?!! ^__^ I think it was pretty good. wrote too much probably XD
