## We're still alive!
It has been a long couple of weeks. Sorry for the delay! We'd rather take our time than rush and get burned out.
Last weeks have been busy for everyone involved with this project. TS-kun is suffering from the dreaded Japanese summer cold and has been sick for the last two weeks. Get well soon TS-kun!
TS-kun has _a lot_ of work to do and TL-kun was pulling double duty on multiple other projects. You've no doubt noticed this one is a little larger than usual. We were going to put out a smaller file for this episode but things were already hovering around 900MB-1GB with the "small" version. Since we knew it was going to be almost 1GB anyway we decided to release this one. As they say: "What are you, poor!?".
But seriously we'll try not to make a habit out of it. But you should expect a similar sized release next time then things getting back to normal for episode 10.
On to episode 9!
## Translations notes:
Lots of TL notes this week. See the included .txt file in the mkv or download it from here: https://files.catbox.moe/ew9vjh.txt
## Sources used:
- Video: Erai-raws (CR WEBRip)
- Audio: ZigZag (Amazon WEBRip)
- Subtitles: Original translation by anon (not based on any existing scripts)
- Localization: Partial (Honorifics and some Japanese terms not translated)
- Japanese closed captions: SweetSub with minor edits by anon
- Chapters: YES, we had weeks to into XML
## How to play:
All our releases are designed for playback on set-top devices (e.g. AppleTV, Firesticks, Xbox One) with native .ass rendering support provided you use a good software player. For most devices we suggest KODI with either a third party Plex or Jellyfin plug-in. For AppleTV we HIGHLY suggest Infuse. Which will play back our releases for free since we use AAC/Opus audio. All our release playback on PC as well of course. We HIGHLY suggest using mpv or recent fork of MPC-HC with proper libass renderer.
Note that if your device can not render .ass subtitles we've included an SRT version of the script. It's the same translation without signs due to the limitations of the SubRip subtitle format. These will work for devices that can't natively render .ass like Roku.
## Deer tips:
Deer tips were too long to include in nyaa post this week. See the .nfo file for tips on making your local deer happy. You can find it included within the .mkv file or download it from here: https://files.catbox.moe/kygcdk.nfo
Next time we'll discuss how the US Government is murdering deer with biological weapons.
## Greetings to our friend wyste
