Before you unleash your anger in a long incoherent rant, first let me say that Monday was Memorial Day, and earlier today the Jetstream was down altogether. So shut it.
Bad news about the filesize again… it’s big. About the same size as last week… I apologize on Toonami’s behalf.. Anyways, I am not going to divulge into a long post about Prince of Tennis, because there is a serious topic of business to be had regarding our releases.
We are in extreme need of a stable and reliable BitTorrent tracker to host our files and releases. We would very much like to have our own tracker, but we are not ruling any other free places out yet. Stability + Reliability is a must. I’ve contacted Edward_K about one, but he hasn’t gotten back to me yet… *crosses fingers*
There’s not much else to say about it, but please do try to contribute if you can.

Holy filesize, batman! I hope you didn’t get used to the decreasing filesizes the past couple of weeks, because these releases weigh in at over 200mb each. I am not even sure there is a quality increase in the video. Just looks like the Jetstream is having a case of the lazies. (Like me all the time)
This week also brings back the long awaited release of MAR 31. Go ahead and get your grubby hands to the DDL links at the bottom of this post. Who am I kidding, you probably aren’t even reading this and went straight to the bottom–but whatever.
I would like to thank my man “gaba” over at #revogba@ImmortalAnime for hooking us up big time. If you noticed the new direct download link last week, you can thank gaba for that. He is so kind as to letting us host our most recent releases on his server. Not only that, if you happened to notice the top of our page, there is a new header image. He also whipped that up for us too. So 1000+ thank yous go out to gaba.
Edit: We are in dire need of a new BitTorrent tracker to use. I would like very much for us to have our own, but I don’t see that in the future unless someone wants to donate their time and effort for providing one. Otherwise, I would like recommendations on good free BitTorrent trackers that are accepted at TokyoTosho.
Onto the goods:

Well this is kind of odd… I was expecting a double release again today. Unfortunately it’s just Prince of Tennis 32. Although it has been nice having just 1 release, I really do prefer releasing two episodes on 1 day, take a week off, and repeat. Now I have to work a wee little bit more every week, but that doesn’t matter much.
In case you haven’t noticed, the filesizes for the Prince of Tennis episodes have been decreasing a little bit each week. No, I did not start to encode these into a different codec format for better compression sizes. It’s just the way the Jetstream has been releasing it. I’m not sure why, but I’m certainly not complaining. The “quality” looks the same either way.
[/start Peter Griffin impression] You know what really grinds my gears? [/end Peter Griffin impression] The English voice cast for the Prince of Tennis. Seriously, almost all the actors have no expression or feeling for the characters they are voicing. It is utterly unbearable to watch your favorite characters become mindless expressionless drones. This makes me, and every single Prince of Tennis fan out there, absolutely furious. The official dub is almost as good as the fandub put out by Anime-Otakus. Almost.
I’m absolutely determined to create a FAN DUB that is far superior to the official dub. I am not quite sure of what episode to dub yet, but I wish it to be a good one. And of course, I am not going to be stingy like the people at VIZ and have only 1 person voice all the characters. That’s where the real fans come in.. If you are interested and think you might be able to contribute your talent of voice acting to this project, comment here, or somehow get a hold of me, and we can work something out. I think this is an awesome project for a bunch of real fans to do. Maybe set up a protest against the current English dub cast and demand a recast, collect a lot of digital signatures, print them out, include the finished copy of the episode that the fans dubbed, put it all in a package and mail it to the studio’s door.
Okay, I guess the whole last part probably wont happen (who knows, if there are enough people interested, it could). But I do want to dub an episode with some fans..
Anyways, enjoy this episode. -_- P.S. Kaneda is bad.

Toonami threw another screwball at me again this week by releasing new episodes of BOTH Prince of Tennis and MAR. Toonami’s schedule is now unpredictable. Be on the lookout for new episodes weekly.
I’m not going to write too much about Prince of Tennis 31, because the MAR batch release is pretty significant.
Batch torrent for MAR episodes 21-30 will be released sometime during 7-9pm CST. But when it is out, I would like you to be aware of the following. There will be no single torrent available for episode 30 simply because that would just be redundant. Instead, if you would like only episode 30, and not have to re-download episodes 21-29, simply use a popular BitTorrent client such as uTorrent or Azureus. Both of those clients have a selective download option that lets you pick what files you want to download from a torrent. So just select episode 30 and you’re on your way.
Again, it is also vitally important that you know that support for single episodes torrents 21-29 are going to be terminated. It is in your best interest if you were in the process of downloading or seeding them to continue your activity with the new batch torrent.
With this new batch torrent comes a request that all people capable of seeding do so. Large releases such as this make it harder for our personnel’s connections, and could use all the help they can get from every other seeder. Please, if you have an archive of our releases up to this point, I ask that you help seed.
If you happen to be getting tracker errors on the torrent(s), please just bear with it. Dreamora’s tracker seems to be goin a little crazy recently, but people can still connect and download via DHT, so there is nothing to worry about. You will be able to download and seed just fine. Sooner or later, the tracker will be fixed and those messages will disappear.

I sincerely apologize for releasing PoT 30. I was under the impression still that POT and MAR were still on the bi-weekly schedule. Well, looks like that isn’t the case anymore. This week, there was only a new episode of PoT(30), so it would be assumed that MAR 30 will be out next week, and no new PoT next week. At least, that’s what I think. So PoT and MAR are alternating weeks now. Which kinda sucks, because I liked getting releases done all in one day, but oh well.
I am keeping true to my word this time about a batch torrent at 30. There will be no single torrent available for episode 30 simply because that would just be redundant. Instead, if you would like only episode 30, and not have to re-download episodes 21-29, simply use a popular BitTorrent client such as uTorrent or Azureus. Both of those clients have a selective download option that lets you pick what files you want to download from a torrent. So just select episode 30 and you’re on your way.
