I’ll be using this post to cover a few matters.
First up is Girlish Number, as people have been asking a lot about it in comments, on Ask, IRC, etc. As it stands, due to staff scheduling, and the show’s overall difficulty (and the other-project delays those are creating, see: MahoIku still at TS), we’ll be dropping the TV airing and will pick this show back up for its BDs. It’s a very good show and you should check it out on Crunchyroll.
As a result of this, and quite honestly it’s something we’ve needed to do for a while, we’re actively advertising for TL/TLC, Editor and Typesetter recruits. You can contact a staff member via #gjm-recruits on Rizon IRC, or you can use the Application Form in the menu bar of the website. Experience in each of these positions is preferred, but we are willing to give some general training to Typesetting applicants who hold some promise, as well as advise Editors who show potential.
Right now, I feel that GJM is in a very good place, and while I may be drowning under the sea of BDs that need QCing, I’m glad to have the staff members I have, and I look forward to working on more projects with them, and any of you who may find yourselves applying to join us.
Our apologies for Girlish Number, but priorities have to be taken, and our group can’t handle the strain of a project that challenging at this moment in time. Our other Fall shows are also enjoyable, and if you weren’t already watching them, you should check them out.
Until next time, Fyurie out.
Damn, that Girlish Number news is highly disappointing.
It is, what it is, sadly. I don’t wanna break staff members with the overwork the show would require from us.
I like the show, but not enough to risk the group’s sanity over.
It’s understandable, this group does great work and I’d like it to stick around as long as possible.
Any idea if either of these are worth checking out?

Our translator wasn’t fond of the first, and I don’t know enough about the second. As much as it sucks for the wait, CR’s script is (according to our TL anyways?), not too bad, but does need an editing polish.
Alright, thanks. Keep up the good work on the other two series, I’m looking forward to both.
That’s disappointing but glad you’ll be doing the BDs at least. Guess I’ll just wait for those then rather.
>It’s a very good show and you should check it out on Crunchyroll.
I’ll wait. :}
RIP in Pieces
How long until flip flappers and mahou get dropped because “it’s too hard :( “
You clearly have no idea how complex translating and editing a show full of references and industry jargon can be, not to mention its immense typesetting requirement to be presentable.
Please, hold your tongue before you make a fool of yourself.
Are you translating from scratch ?! Just modify and improve Crunchyroll subs because they are not so bad
Yes, we were, because Crunchyroll is SIX DAYS LATE. That’s why we did the original.
Even then, I need to do a lot of external research to edit every single episode of Girlish Number, so it’s not a project I can feasibly maintain with my workload. BDs just make so much more sense.
Way back when Symphogear GX was airing, Commie tried editing Crunchyroll’s script because of the same reason you’re giving here, and it ended up taking them so much longer than usual to release the episode that they decided “fuck that” and went back to translating from scratch.
You clearly understand shit all of the fansubbing process.
Feel free to watch HS.
I’m glad that you dropped Girlish Number. It is boring show
But I hope Mahou Shoujo won’t take long. the 3rd epsiode will out soon and 2nd episode is still not subbed
Yeah, its TS was delayed by Girlish Number’s TSing needing doing. Things should go back to normal for 3 and onwards.
>trusting choochoo
but I still have better record than you shark :(
Thanks for the news about Girlish Number, I guess it’s better to know early than wait forever. On that note and since you’re doing a split with them, do you know what’s up with DDY’s webpage? It’s been down for a while.
Some micro-dick script kiddie’s been harassing them with DDoS attacks for the past few days. Apparently some people have nothing better to do.
While it is sad to not see Girlish Number releases for a while, I’m glad you are planning to do the BDs. Thank you for the news!
As sad as it is to hear this, I can wait for the BDs. At least I still know there will be proper quality subs for it, and the additional quality of a BD version will be nice to have as well. :)
i’ll wait for your BDs, and charlotte’s last one, to watch both shows.
Ty in advance for your work.
I’ve send my application through the form but I didn’t see any confirmation. Did you guys receive it?
Yup, it came through. We’ll send out an email with the appropriate info shortly.
Thanks for the info for girlish number and especially you guys hard work for subbing. Will wait the BDs :))
I would like to be a typesetter \(﹡ˆωˆ﹡)/
