An unknown party has posted several episodes from the Naruto Shippūden, Fairy Tail, Heroman, and Occult Academy anime series onto the YouTube website on Wednesday. All of the episodes have been posted before they will air in Japan on TV Tokyo or simulcast on the Crunchyroll website. The episodes include:

Damage already been done, most likely they will be on public torrents soon.(Naruto's episode is up already).

Occult Academy Ep3

Well, the animation was little off here and there, but a solid fun episode, just not enough Maya.

Ookami-San Ep3 Ringo is awesome

Spoiler: show

Rie Kugimiya Fuck yeah, she hasn't voice any J.C.STAFF character since the Shana OVA's, and her character is a psychotic Flat-chest loli(Mimi Usami).
-A very sweet episode filled with fanservice, crossing dressing president and a swimsuit showcast.
-kuroko's narration wasn't as bad as last weeks.
-I am happy the side characters are getting character developments with back-stories.
-Otohime's back story was very sweet, and surprised she was overweight at a young age.
-No Swim Suit Ookami? blasphemy(I feel your Pain Ryoshi).
-Ringo's charm can't be contained.
Overall a solid episode, I am just loving this series.

wtb uncensored version

Yeah, I'm gonna wait for the uncensored version of HSotD and Asobi.
I may watch Occult as it airs though, since it seems crunchy/jp networks aren't being too bad about it. At least Sankaku hasn't been crying foul about any for that show at any rate.

HoTD isn't going to be totally uncensored until BR/DVDs, channel AT-X (CoalGuys use this) is the most uncensored, it did censor the drill to the face scene this week which was brutal in the manga but that's about it.

Wow didn't know this, are they all using the AT-X raw or are some not? I'm following HorribleSubs releases but if they are not using AT-X i wouldn't be able to tell, anyone know?

I'm just using Horrible Subs as well, and the only censoring so far were those 2 scenes in episode 2. I assume they are using the least censored version.

Is horrible still using the fugly yellow text that looks like official subs from like the 90s? >.>

In High School of the Dead, yeah. Seems to just be how the Anime Network subs things.

Check out Commie subs if you're looking for less horrible HorribleSubs, lol As far as I know they come from the same source (CR).

fugly yellow text

It's a time saver.
If you've ever made an image macro, you might have noticed some colors of font don't work on light or dark backgrounds. (Like that Austin Powers gag, but unintentional.) And it's worse for video, cause the background can change, so you'll have to waste time and effort altering the font just for specific scenes, or testing a color through the whole episode to make sure it'll work, which means less time to spend on timing/typo QC.
Fugly yellow always works though.

Katanagatari 7th episode was amazing. The music was great, the video games part were hilarious (especially the part where shichika's sister go behind the boss), and the whole story made me go bawww.

I really hope the rest of the show will be on par with last 2 episodes.

Since Sub for Ookami are out. I want to talk about ep3 again( i don't want to use spoiler tag). This episode was probably the most fun I've had with the show so far. sure the action was missing, but not necessary a bad thing. we got some great emotion and story development of Otohime, and why she loves for Tarou. I'm enjoying the fact how we are still early in the series but they devoting episodes to built the side characters, which sadly a lot of the recent Light Novel adaptations failed to capitalize on, since most either cut it or just cram in so much material it feels disjointed.

I love Kuroko's narration but it seems, J.C.Staff heard the complains and cut some of her dialogue in this episode, but I love how she was censoring Mimi Usami. Ringo and Otohime swearing dialogue, and her narration dialogue is back to being funny at points.


The president wins the Fap Trap of the season, you can't lose with a face and body like that. The Loli swimsuit showcase between Ringo and Mimi Usami was funny, looks like those two will be rivals from now on.

silly me we had 2 new characters introduced who are apart of the main cast that should play an important roll later on(the 3rd ranked winner? yeah it should have been obvious who that is *Hint Hint*).


Animation wise it was very good, but Ani no Miyako blog did an excellent job on it(he has Shiki, HOTD etc if you want to read more).

Basically, J.C. ‘copy & paste’ standard stuff, so you should already be familiar with the characters and most situations if you’ve watched a few other anime of their lineup. However, there was actually something new and I even liked the idea, namely breaking the fourth wall. Compared to the lackluster dialogue between the characters, some of the narrator’s comments were actually witty, e.g. the scene in the bathroom where she apologizes for the ‘bad’ fanservice. The scene direction and animation weren’t as polished as in Tatsuyuki Nagai‘s anime (Toradora, Railgun), yet good enough to keep me watching. I was surprised to see Gainax animator Megumi Kouno on the first episode, even though I knew that she had been involved with J.C. before (‘Nodame Cantabile’). She did the only real stand-out scene – both in terms of style and animation – in the first episode (the whole pumpkin-bicycle-carriage chase scene). As far as episode 2 is concerned, the directing was still nothing to speak of, yet the animation throughout made a better impression than in the episode before. It was a solo (1st) key animation work by Hiroshi Tomioka, who is famous for his extravagant depiction of hair, though his trademark isn’t that striking here, maybe there wasn’t enough time for extra polish. Tomioka has probably been influenced by Hironori Tanaka‘s way of animating hair, who incidentally happens to be the storyboarder and animation director of episode 3. Up to now, Tanaka‘s only storyboard work on TV anime have been his solo key animation efforts (Saki #20, School Days #6, Akasaka #3), so I can well imagine that he also did the key animation for episode 3 all alone. By the way, Noriaki Akitaya (co-director of the upcoming ‘Bakuman’ anime) is directing, I wouldn’t be surprised if episode 3 outclassed #1 and #2 by far.

HSotD isn't from CR, it's from The Anime Network. They hardsub the source.

They use yellow text because they're stuck in the DVD sub stone age, there's really no excuse.

I'm following HorribleSubs releases but if they are not using AT-X i wouldn't be able to tell, anyone know?

HS doesn't use any TV station's raws because the video used is always ripped from a streaming website.
