Since we seem to be taking a glacially long time to release anything, I thought I'd share this tidbit with you all. I started putting together the encode for ep8 and noticed some of my signs and afx stuff didn't line up anymore. Digging further, it appears they've very slightly tweaked the OP and redrew some bits.

The image on the left is from ep7 (and I'm assuming all prior to it as well) while the right side is from ep8.
HOW MANY LEGS DOES REINFORCE HAVE?
This was the most lulz worthy, but other than that a few other scenes have people positioned a few inches from where they stood previously. The first title screen seems to have been redone to be more fancy and the robots that Nanoha and Fate take on after their gundam takeoff are now CG and float independently toward the camera rather than being a static part of the background.

Is this a sign of things to come? Maybe less QUALITY? Well, not for the rest of this episode anyway. There's a hilarious shot of Vita in it somewhere. I'm probably one of three people on the interwebs who hasn't even seen ep8 yet so I probably shouldn't even speculate on future events.
For those wanting a status report, ep8 is in editing now and I'm hoping it gets released before the weekend because as of Monday I'll be in Switzerland on company business until July 4th. This thread is officially closed for talk about the release and how damn slow we are but is WIDE open for lulz and QUALITY images.

Hoh! 3 legged Rein Zwei!

Hey, maybe we can have everyone shopped for 3 legs!

Those Japanese people - they can make so many Lucky Star edits that my computer actually crashed while watching YouTube...

And... JJS, I never knew you were in a big company and you're going to Switzerland... man, I thought you were some people like hard-core otakus... no offense and all, but...

Reinforce Zwei is good now! Ya~ho!

I tried to see the 3 legged Rein. Basically, I ONLY saw it when going through it frame by frame.
XD

Maybe we will see some hidden power from reinforce in the next episode...
The powerfull Tripple Kick.!

I'd say it's a typical interlacing problem.
On the first half-frame Rein is in one position; on the second, she's in another position. When deinterlacing, the two positions mix.

And, umm... how do we fix that problem?

And anyways, I doubt that most people would look at each frame to just get a shot of something cough inappropriate cough, such as a pantyshot or some sort... unless you're a real hard-core fan of it, that is.

stands up and apologizes to every single soft/hard-core fans of anime everywhere

You don't?

It's an error with the company that created this anime.

>>7

> how do we fix that problem?

Wait for the DVD release?

>>8

Thinking about it, I actually do freeze each frame. nihaha

>>9

And, how long would the DVD release take?

Hopefully everything would be settled by the year 2012, when invisible/camouflaging cloths should be mass-produced in Japan, including micro-computers embedded.

drools at a thought of watching anime everywhere

Have a look at the thread "Nanoha StrikerS DVD Release Schedule" on this board.

>>12
Good lord, I had to use to Search to find that thread out ;;

But seriously, I'm hoping that it's not gonna get licensed by American companies. I'm gonna cry if they do *_*;;

>>13
I'd be disappointed if all groups stopped subbing StrikerS, by OTOH, I'm already getting used to watch episodes raw...

>>13 I'm not sure if i got the right company, but Geneon wants the license fro the nanoha series. Last I heard they were trying to grab series 1 and 2. Not sure if they've been successful though.
