New Group!

Hello everyone!  To those who haven’t heard from our Youtube page yet, JK Subs is going to be closing.

In it’s place, we’re starting over as Moon Drop Subs!  Our new homepage will be our forum: http://z7.invisionfree.com/MoonDropSubs.   Our Youtube page is http://youtube.com/moondropsubs if you would like to subscribe.  Our first project will be Infernal Lover, so look out for our first episode!

Finally, as usual, I’m making a call for Mandarin translators.  If you are available and interested, please apply through our forums!  Also, we would be willing to re-do into better subs & finish Unbelievable Outing if we can get 2 Mandarin translators and/or Korean translators to help with that project.  You would not have to help out when any other of our projects except that one if you join.

Thanks for the support, everyone, and hope to see you again at Moon Drop Subs!

 

Final Episode Up!

The moment that everyone’s been anticipating is finally here!!  Episode 20 of 18 Jin Bu Jin is both up on our Youtube and available for download!   Check the page for the links :]

The team would like to thank everyone that’s been patient and supported us through this series.  We greatly appreciate it, and would not still be here if not for you.  Thank you!

Now, what’s next, you ask?  The team will be undergoing a revamp, but we will be working on a project in the meantime that I’ll keep secret for now.  Keep a lookout for my next announcement!

 

After an EXTREMELY long delay…

18 Jin Bu Jin Ep 19 is finally up!!
Youtube and full episode download links are now in the Projects page.  Sorry everyone for the massive delay, but hopefully, we’ll get the final episode out much quicker than that.

Thanks everyone for your support!!

And for a heads-up, JK Subs will be under going big changes with the ending of 18 Jin Bu Jin, so please be on the lookout!

 

Finally, Next Ep Up!

Sorry for the delay, everyone, but finally, Episode 18 of 18 Jin Bu Jin is up on our Youtube page!  The episode download should be up tomorrow, since it’s pretty late tonight already.

Watch me!

Edit: The episode Download link is now up on the Projects page!!

 

Moving Quickly… ^^

We are indeed moving faster than we have before!

18 Jin Bu Jin Ep 17 is now out!

The link to the episode on Youtube is in the Projects page.  All the episodes are now in Playlists, for your viewing pleasure!  The full download link is also up too, for those of you who’d rather download for the better quality.

Enjoy, everyone!

 

First Release for the New Year

For those of you following us through Youtube, you probably already know, but for everyone else:

18 Jin Bu Jin Ep 16 is out!

It has just gone up onto Youtube, so please check back a little later for better quality.  For even better quality, the episode is available for download on our Projects page. [comments would be appreciated =D]

There are only 4 episodes left, so we’re right on schedule!

Though I’m a little late, Happy New Year everyone!!

 

New Homepage!

Hello everyone!

Our forums are no more!  Or, in other words, they are now closed to the general public and are open to Staff only for group business.

Instead, we figured that it would be much easier for everyone to get the latest updates, and to be able to get the links to view and download our projects on one main page: here!  This means, no more post requirement to be able to download!

On another note, our latest release is 18 Jin Bu Jin episode 15!  You can find the links to it on our Projects page.  I know the releases for this show have been quick lately, but episode 16 will probably not be released until after the New Year.  But, if our pace continues, 18 Jin Bu Jin will be completed by February and we’ll be able to pick up Butterfly Lovers again [to all those who have been asking for it].

I still get many, many questions about Unbelievable Outing, and here is the answer:  we can’t finish the show because we NO LONGER HAVE a Korean translator!  It’s been hard for a lot of subbing groups to find Korean translators lately, and we’re one of them…  So, if you know someone who can help, or if you are someone who can help, please send in an application via the Application page!  Otherwise, everyone will have to hold out until we find one…  [Suggestions such as asking another Suju subbing group don’t work; we’ve already tried, and they are very busy with their own projects.]

Thanks everyone for your support and patience, and hope you have  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

 

Project Updates: What’s In and What’s Out

So, if you all haven’t read already on our Youtube page, we recently had a massive overhaul of our team.  The end result?  A lot of empty positions and projects that hung in the balance.  But, in a good light, we were able to see who really was still with the team, and who no longer wanted/had time to be.

This being said, we had to decide which projects we’d still be pursuing and which had to be dropped for lack of staff.  And so, this list stands:

• Unbelievable Outing is still going.  We’ve managed to keep one Korean translator to help us finish, and we should be done with the last few episodes within the next 2-3 months.
• I know everyone was excited about this, but we had to drop plans for Infinity Challenge.  We just don’t have the time and staff to be able to take it on right now, though we still hope we can in the future.
• Even though we’ve dropped Infinity Challenge, we are still taking on another variety show… WE GOT MARRIED!!  PLEASE NOTE THOUGH: we are only doing the missing couple cuts from episodes 45 to 48.  We are NOT taking up the show for the long-run.
• For everyone who’s been asking, 18 Jin Bu Jin is still a go.  We’re currently almost done with episode 10, and are now working on episode 11.
• Because our Chinese translator is diligently working on 18 JBJ, Butterfly Lovers will be on hold until we complete it.
• 100% Senorita has been dropped because it is already being worked on by another, very dedicated subber [danseurella@youtube]
• And lastly, the Japanese show that we wanted to tackle has also been dropped since we no longer have a Japanese translator.

With all the gaps on our team, we are still looking for staff!!  Most needed positions right now are:

• Korean, Chinese, and Japanese translators
• Timers
• Encoders/Uploaders [would be extremely helpful if you know how to typeset]

As before, apply through the application on this WordPress, via our Youtube page, or by registering and applying at the forum thread [links on the side bar].

Thanks everyone for your continued patience!

Our Slow, But Steady Progress

So, this is not going to be the typical team update post, but instead, I’m going to take the time to blog a bit here about the team.

It’s going to be our third month open in a few days, and things are going a bit… slower than all of the founding staff had thought it would be.  Of course, we didn’t expect to be completing projects like there’s no tomorrow, but each of us had some of our own expectations.  Not to say that our work thus far has let us down, but things haven’t been exactly what any of us expected it to be.

We started out as a few timers simply wanting to see projects that were dropped to finally be completed so that former viewers would be able to see the end.  Now that we’re a full on group, I think we’ve all come to realize how much work and dedication being a subber really means.

Really, I never realized how hard it was – still is – to find translators!  Not many people apply, so we’ve had to advertise ourselves quite a bit, or even approach people that we didn’t quite know for assistance.  It’s hard when a casual subber comes along, agrees to help, then drops off the face of the earth [as I’m sure quite a few subbing groups have already experienced], especially if they were already assigned to a job.  But I’m thankful that we have some very dedicated translators who work terribly hard at translating whole episodes on their own.

So, that being said, I give much praise and salute the subbing teams, and especially the individuals, that have gone through the years working for the shows they enjoy seeing, for the groups they love, and for the viewers, whom even when some may give complaints, these groups continue to do what they can for the rest.

Also, I hope this kind of explains where we’ve been lately, and that we haven’t disappeared on you, so please don’t give up on us yet!  We’ve just released Butterfly Lovers Ep 1, and we’re currently trying very, very hard to finish up Unbelievable Outing [Korean translators are hardest to find!].  For those of you who have been requesting 18 Censored or Not, good news!  We are beginning to start translation for that episode, so be on the lookout!

~ Yours truly, Shukumei

 

Our New Forum

So if you haven’t visited our forum yet [or have, but didn’t see the giant sign at the top], JK Subs Forum has moved back to InvisionFree! We just had too many problems putting up a layout, approving members, and other such bothersome details with the Zetaboard that we decided to move back. It was especially hard because Zetaboard is pretty new, thus less support/tutorials/etc. to help with it.

But anyway, this is the new forum: Visit Me!
If you are a registered member on the old forum, please RE-REGISTER onto the new forums! We will not be manually re-registering all the members. And if you’re not a member yet, please register! It’s quick and easy, and gives you an easy way to keep up with the team, as well as personally talk to the staff!
