Recruiting

BSS has been subbing with mainly the same core people now for a few years, and we’re starting to see the limit. Practically all of our shows were done by one translator since gurren lagann ended with no translation checker and our editors were former quality checkers (and I think we’ve been doing pretty well considering everything). And with most of our releases ending up having a v2, we just really need more help. So here’s where you come in!

We’re looking for translators, translation checkers, editors, quality checkers, distro, basically everything but encoders and timers. What we’d also like are people from the other side of the world or maybe europeans since most of us are based in North America. This would allow us to be more flexible so that if some people are sleeping, then it’s more likely the others are awake and ready to help.

We’re a pretty loose bunch, so I’m sure that if anyone joins, they’ll be sure to have fun. We also play mahjong quite often together, so consider that a plus if you know how to play.

So, if you’re interested, hop on into #bss-recruits@irc.rizon.net and tell us what position you’d be interested in.

    hachi, if you’re still looking for an editor, I’ll be willing to get in contact with you on IRC. I might as well tell you a bit about my background just so you know.

    I’ve worked with a number of groups and have ran two myself:
    sMi (Founder)
    INP (Ran for a very short stint. Was only a few weeks before I realized they were helpless)
    Rumbel
    Tomodachi
    Vegapunk
    And some others that I worked in under an alias due to the series being licensed.

    Series that I’ve worked on:
    One Piece (Vegapunk, INP)- Timed, Edited, Minor TLc, Encode
    Gintama (Rumbel-sMi) – Edited, Fine Timed, Typeset, QC
    Ga-Rei-Zero (sMi) – Edited, Typeset, QC
    Kurozuka (sMi) – Timed, Edited, Typeset, QC, Encode
    Major S4 (INP) – Edited
    Eyeshield 21 (INP) – Edited, Timed
    Shikabane Hime (TMD) – Timed, Edited, Typeset

    That’s just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Anywho, if you’re interested in my help let me know and I’ll check you guys out on IRC.

    As far as I know BSS releases a episode within a day of airing.

    @hachi
    Too bad then. haha…

    but then again, so how long is ur limit (of waiting) from the time the show airs in japan up the sub is ready for release? cuz my fastest record was about 3-4 days from the airing day, and that’s cuz i was doing not only the translations, but also the timing and typesetting. lol.

    How does an editor from India sound to you guys?

    Just tell me which raw you plan on using.
    I’ll download it, using IRC or a torrent, by the time you guys wake up. >_<

    As an interim measure, Thora has an online-irc client on their website:
    http://thoranime.org/xdcclist/global-mini/

    Just change the channel to #bss-recruits

    @Dirac
    Unfortunately, all of our work is done over IRC, so if it’s possible, we’d very much like for you to try it out and come talk to us.

    @Densuke
    We’re a pretty speed orientated group, so unless you’re willing to translate fast, then it probably won’t work out.

    I’d like to do quality checking if there is still a need for it. I went onto the IRC channel, but there wasn’t anyone there (time zone differences most likely :P ).

    Also, I am in Australia, in a +10 time zone; so that would help with your issue of people sleeping I suppose.

    Hmmm, it’s been a few months since i get involved with any anime translation, but if u guys dun mind the speed of which i work (due to my slow internet speed, so getting the raw will take time on my side, and also that i like to take my time in translating basically i’m lazy), u can email me. u can find me tru windows live messenger too.

    If u ask me, i’d prefer the job of a TL-checker tho i was previously engeged in translation work. as for my japanese qualification, i’m a JLPT lvl 2 and have been learning japanese on my own for several yrs.

    Btw, my experience in irc is also close to nth. :P

    Dirac says:

    I’m willing to volunteer as an editor and I have 3-4 years of japanese classes under my belt so I think I would be great for spotting translation errors. I might also be willing to help with quality checking, heck I might even try translating if I keep my japanese dictionary beside me when there’s a word I don’t know.

    I have next to no experience woth irc so it would be great if it would be possible to communicate by other means.

    Cheers
