Bad News for Our Bima Fans

So, yeah. First of all we want to apologize for about 3 weeks of MIA that we had. We do feel bad about it. We're sorry about that.

Secondly, and sadly, we want to say that we're dropping Bima. We don't want to but somehow we have to this in the end. There are reasons that forced us to drop Bima. We had some fun times doing this fan sub and regret none of it. In fact, the only regret we have is the need to stop subbing it. We really hope you guys can understand this. Again we're really sorry about this. If you still interested on Bima, you can grab one from Bima-Anon or Sky Fansub (Fact: We don't know whether they still doing this or not) which will be something we do to watch Bima.

If you were watching our previous release, we want to know how do you like it and some feedback on it. It's will help us much :)

Fact: We (almost certain) will step down from series funsubbing scene until unforeseeable time in the future. We still gonna do fansub but only for something that not have schedule (ie: PV).

That's the TL;DR version.
If you want the long version which include reasons, journey, and challenges that we had, keep reading.

[DBX-Sub] Bima Satria Garuda - 06 (English sub)

I must say this is so damn funny!

Hello!
Here's episode 6 of Bima Satria Garuda. The Spider Monster looks really cool!
As you may noticed, we are kinda late for this episode and we apologize for that.
We are on a big holidays here and our schedules are messed up since everyone invite us everywhere.

Plus, here's what xortimus, our encoder and uploader, has to say about his condition:
"Went back to my parents house for holiday. The computer is crap, it took 3 hours to just encode this episode! The connection is crap too! Took 3 hours to upload this thing! Grooaaa!"
Yes, he did type 'grooaaa' when he explained that to me.

Since uploading takes a long time, we will hold our plan to upload soft-sub mkv version of previous episodes. This episode will still have soft-sub mkv which will be released probably tomorrow. That is after we done upload this episode to youtube.

The holiday also force us to leave our plan to create our very own blog for the time being. We will continue it when we've returned from holiday.

And so, here's the download link for the hardsub mp4 version.

[DBX-Sub] Bima Episode 05 Soft Sub version (Mkv)

Heya!
We supposed to release our softsub on Tuesday, but we have sudden things to handle IRL.
Plus, our uploader/encoder internet connection was kinda messy for a while.
Therefore, this release is late. But do not fret! For the soft sub is here! (Yay!)

Like we've said before, we're kinda new on this fansub business, so we're sorry if we make mistakes or what we have is not living up to your expectation. We are always open to positive and constructive criticism, as long it is delivered with neutral tone (ie. not flamming nor bashing ).

Anyway, this is the Soft-sub of Bima Satria Garuda Episode 5. Enjoy!

[DBX-Sub] Bima Satria Garuda Episode 05 (English Sub)

Because not looking at your enemy is so effing cool!

Behold!
The fifth episodes of Bima!
We get the conclusion for the Suicide Arc. (xortimus: I won't called it an arc since it only 2 episodes...)
In any case, the RAW that we got today isn't any better than last week. This is really tough to go on with this kind of Raw, but then again, who am I to complain. I (we) can't record it our self either.

Here's the download link:

We're still uploading to youtube right now. Expect it to be done before midnight (UTC+7)
Below is streaming from youtube.






A little announcement to make:
- In respond to the vote about softsub and standalone blog, we're gonna prepare the mkv softsub for eps 4 in around 1-2 days. Our encoder still playing with it. And other episodes will follows. The blog will be up before next release. We will still post the release here for a while to make sure everyone knows that we've moved. Future episode will be released there.

- Next week (August 5-9) will be a week-long holiday for my office. I will travel back to my home (my parents home to be exact) starts from August 2 until August 11. I'm not sure how will the subbing go since I need to do this on different computer and different internet speed. We really think there is nothing to worry about, but please expect for 1 day late for the next two episodes at worst. (There's no telling if suddenly my family want to go somewhere with me on Sunday)

- darcangel ask me to put this here, "Episode 3 subs is quite annoying with huge amount of 'kak' here and there. I've forced benz to limit the 'kak' to name only so it will be less annoying on this episode onwards. Hope this will makes the subs better and less annoying."

So, enjoy this week show!

PS: Next episode's monster looks really cool! Can't wait, can't wait!

[DBX-Sub] Bima Satria Garuda - Episode 4 (English Sub)

Bima is wondering when he will get HD release

Hi, guys!
mrbenz here. And here we are with Bima Satria Garuda Episode 4!
As a little technical review about this episode, the sounds-FX and dub-are so much better than previous episodes! A huge round of applause to the production team. *clap**clap**clap*

This episode doesn't feature our opening "Team Card" like previous releases. We recently notice that the aspect ratio is somewhat distorted during the process of adding it. Seems like we need to release the fixed version for previous episodes because of this. Whether we will keep the Team Card or not is not decided yet. Maybe you can tell us your thought about the team card on the comment session.

And so, without further ado, here it is!
The 4th episode of  Bima Satria Garuda:

TL-Note: In case you didn't know. The Toad Monster speaking with a toad language which is none of us can decipher. It is not Indonesian and we can't find someone who can translate that for us. Sorry.

I think Media Fire is the best DDL around that is available for free.
Do you guys have any request for our release to be mirrored to other ddl sites?
As for torrent, we still don't have anyone who can host the files.

And seems like the vote already have clear result.
We will keep watching for a few days to see if it stable before we start making move.

The Youtube streaming is currently uploading. Will be done soon.
Here if you watch streaming from Youtube.



Hope you enjoy the show!

Note: I have no idea there was such a bus in Jakarta! I'm sure has been far too long away from the capital, am I not?

[DBX-Sub] Bima Satria Garuda - Episode 3 (English Sub)

Hey, we finally have the third episode!
Bima finally adopt the "Monster of The Week" format.
This show sure feels like a Showa shows.

I'm not in a good mood today since I missed Bima this morning :(
And Steam Summer Sale is killing me and my wallet!

Oh, don't forget to cast your vote for future release of Bima Satria Garuda from us.
We still can't make up our mind on those two things.

TL Note: We didn't include this on the release but we thought it's worth to mention.
- 'Kak' is not restricted to siblings. It can also be used to address anyone older but without significant age gap. 'Senpai' is usually translated as 'kak'
- 'Dek' is similar to 'kak' but used to address someone younger.

Edit: V2 is here! Blame Xortimus for the late release. He messed up the encoding several times. We fix several timing problem, add Still image at the beginning, smoother ads portion, and Kara for OP and ED! 

Edit2: V2 have some unsync audio in the middle due to a mishap on encoder side and missed by QC the first time. V3 is similar with V2 on it's video and sub but has fixed the audio problem. Sorry for that.

[E3 2013] Dead Rising 3 - "Open World Zombie Apocalypse"

Do you like zombies?
Who am I kidding? Everyone LOVE zombies! There's a reason why there are a lot of zombie-themed games, movies, and comic books out there and that reason is not Zombie is hated by people.
And I bet you love zombie too, right?
And possibly you've heard about one of those Zombie game, Dead Rising.

Dead Rising put you in the shoe of non-Zombie in the middle of area filled with zombies. You will reveal the mystery how this zombie outbreak happens. You will meet a lot of other survivors which may or may not useful for you. There are a lot of events too. There are boss battle, meeting survivors, or something that relevant to the story. But beware, all this are time strict which mean if you pass the supposed time, then you miss the event. In a lot of way this could mean 'hello, bad ending.'

And now, Dead Rising is back with Dead Rising 3. This latest installment will give you yet another new character which I can't remember the name. Dead Rising 3 will feature a huge open world area instead of a small like a mall in Dead Rising or some entertainment area in Dead Rising 2.

Say, cheese!

[E3 2013] Bayonetta 2 - "Short Hair Is Fine Too"

Several years ago, a previously unknown game developer, PlatinumGames, deliver what was the most sexy action game and launch the studio to become well known (I, for instance, has become a fan of their games). The game that I'm talking about is none other than "Bayonetta."

With a sexy action witch as the main character, Bayonetta able to become one of the best hack and slash video game in the market back then. Universal critical acclaims from critics raining down on the title praising the characters, story, battle, and the fast pace.

Short hair is fine too!

And finally, after a long wait, we able to see the trailer of the next installment of the series, "Bayonetta 2." Planned to be published by Nintendo, this game is exclusive for Wii-U. Don't hate Nintendo, please, because it was said that Nintendo is the one that offering PlatinumGames to make the sequel. Without them, there probably no "Bayonetta 2" now.

[E3 2013] The Division - "Tom Clancy Goes Online"

As an old timer in the world of video games, Tom Clancy has turn into a huge Intellectual Property (IP) spanning different number of platforms, title, and even genre. Though I doubt Tom Clancy himself still handling these games, the games still looks great and probably one of the biggest Military-themed IP out there.

With so much experience and firm ground to stand, the next installment of Tom Clancy series (other than the new Splinter Cell - Blacklist) will take it to the next level. Prepare yourself for "The Division"! This brand new title from Tom Clancy will be, like they said in the end of the demo, Online | Open World | RPG. Think of it as an MMORPG Shooter. Maybe you will frown thinking about this, but the demo looks great!

In the thickness of FPS games forest, a Third-Person Shooter is really refreshing.

The Division will use their favorite perspective which is Third-Person. This is a good choice considering the number of First Person Shooter out there starts to make me bored. The user interface using those futuristic UI seen on several other Tom Clancy titles such as Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. On the screenshot above you can see all the information you need to know ranging from remaining ammo, health, to other player status floating on the side of your character, not static on the screen like traditional UI. The menu is also in the same holographic manner. It floats around on your wrist. And when you select the menu you want to see, it will pop up in front of your character. Its not just sound cool, but it IS cool. It reminds me of the time I saw Dead Space II's inventory.

[E3 2013] Project Spark - "Let It Spark Your Imagination!"

Do you have an idea to create a game but don't know how to make it?
Do you want to play a game that you made yourself with your friend?

Remember how PS have RPG maker series that focused on creating RPG?
Or maybe LittleBigPlanet series that also on PS3?

Now, we have something bigger than those. Introducing a game where player "create" their own game at let other people play it, "Project Spark"! And by far, this is my favorite demo from day 1.

Make your own world!

Project Spark setting will be on fantasy world. Story? There's no such thing as story yet. Why? Because it's 'you', the player, that will be make the game! Said as Microsoft's answer to Sony's LittleBigPlanet, this Xbox One exclusive game give the freedom to player to create anything! Using Xbox One control mechanism such as Kinect and Smart Glass, player will be able to interact and change the world as they like.

[E3 2013] Plant vs Zombie: Garden Warfare - "Now in 3D!"

Remember a certain game several years ago that possibly bring zombies to the hand of casual gamers?
Yeah, it's 'Plant vs Zombie'!

Now in E3, they showcased a brand new Plant vs Zombie game subtitled "Garden Warfare" as a parody to "Modern Warfare" series. The title is true, however, since this game doesn't play like the original 'Plant vs Zombie.' No sir, it will not be a Tower Defense. Ah, sure, it still have a 'little' trace of tower defense, but that's it. The main game play will be like "Modern Warfare" though looks to me more like "Team Fortress 2" though (I haven't played TF2 btw).

Is this... Is this 3D??!!

 Yeah, it's nothing like the original. But I have to tell you, it's damn interesting! We play as the plants, now have the ability to walk around, to protect the house from zombies. But now, we control individual plant and play with friends to work together against the horde of undead army. We can use special weapons, which seems like other plants that not suited as player avatar, selected from the bottom right of the screen. If player press LB at the situation like above, the plant will throw a 'Chilli Bomb' which will roll for a while, and.......

KABOOM!

[E3 2013] Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - "Tactical Espionage Redefined"

Snake is back!
And this time, prettier than ever!
Please welcome Metal Gear Solid V - The Phantom Pain!

Likes it's every predecessor since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Konami once again push the current available technology to the limit. Who can forget the stunning graphic of Metal Gear Ray on PS2 early days. It's not for several couple years until that level of graphic can be finally surpassed. And Konami answer that with MGS3: Snake Eater. When PS3 come out, I was surprised how beautiful MGS4: Guns of The Patriot is. It's graphic still impressed me when I finally able to play it for the first time last year (no budget to play it early). This is the proof that Konami and Hideo Kojima will never disappoint us with Metal Gear Solid, at least on art, story, and innovation department. And that's the expectation we have for MGS V.

We already heard about MGS: Ground Zeroes. What happen to that? Nothing. Nothing bad happen to it. Ground Zeroes will still released and MGS V will follow probably a year or two later. Using their brand new FOX Engine, the team behind MGS V able to deliver the most stunning graphic video games history ever seen yet. If that's how the final game will be, then I will not exaggerating when I said it is, "The most realistic looking video game" to date.

I will warn you, this is the only screenshot taken from Cinematic (ie. cutscene/movie)

Like every other year, this year E3 is not short of great news and games. The most anticipated news is of course Sony's PS4! It was announced on February but we haven't seen it yet, have we? Using this huge event as the stage, Sony finally step up and give us the look of their Next Generation Video Game Console.

Black and a lot of doff. Pretty!!

A Cardcaptor Sakura Remake?! For Real??!!

So I got this news from my friends.
Not really sure whether this is true or not though.
But hey! They have a magazine photo!

Oh God! Syaoran and Sakura in wedding dress!! I APPROVE THIS!!

Real Life Terminator Is Nothing Like Arnold - Unless You Think Arnold Is Moe

Yeaaaaahhhh.... The title is creeping me out a bit...
Anyway!

I was chatting with several guys and gals on a certain Internet Radio that I frequent when suddenly I stumble across a topic that really intrigue me.
A Smart Doll.
It's a doll but it's SMART!!
Well, I don't think it will be smart enough to do your homework though.

Although a doll can cover a whole bunch of doll types out there, I'm quite sure the one that we will talk about is about a certain Doll that was both expensive and popular lately.

Millhiore F. Biscotti - My favorite dollfie

Yup! Most possibly they are talking about THAT kind of doll. Not some other creepy one.

NO!! Definitely not THAT one!!

Yeaa... That's creepy...
Especially when we're realizing that the Smart Doll here is a doll that can move and interactive!
Imagine if a cute little Millhi-chan greet you up when you are wake up in the morning...
Now imagine that very scene, but instead of Millhi, there's Chucky instead...
That's what a dictionary definition of scary...

Kyonko is just HHHHNNNNNNGGGGHHH!

I know Kyonko is not something new.
I know Kyonko has been around for years.
I know Kyonko since a long time ago.
I know Kyonko is moe since the first time I saw her.
But now is the moment that I'm head over heels at her (9>w< )9
No... Wait!! That emoticon is just too cute for me! Who am I? Darcangel? She's the only one on DBX using those kind of emoticon on ALMOST all of her sentences and I'm not her!
I'm the 'B' on DBX not the 'D'!

*cough* anyway!
You knows about Kyonko, right?
The female Gen-Bend version of Kyon from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

This is Kyon:

"People love my female version more than me" *facepalm

And This is Kyonko:

 

Hello, Hello, Hello~!

Long time no-post...
Like usual orz

Anyway, the hell with all those long time without meaningful post.
It's just happen I didn't do anything meaningful...
....
....
OTL FML!!!

*cough* Okay, since I already get a new phone (YAY!) means there will be more photo for my blog, right? Nope. Not sure... First of all, almost all the things that I reviewed here don't need to be photographed first hand. Let see, animes, movies, games, music... Do you want me to take a picture of those while in fact I could easily take a screenshot and present you a better quality pic?? See!

And second, I love writing, I love posting witty remark about things, I hate taking my time to take a shot of something that interest me. Well, that's until I realize taking photo of my Manga Session is really fun! I take pictures of some interesting scene from a manga I read and post it shamelessly to Facebook. Yes, I'm become one of those ass who post a lot of photo to facebook. Go ahead. Kill me! Kill me I said!!

This is what I called as Manga Session. Whoo! I'm become one of those ass!

No, I'm just kidding. Please don't kill me.

If you are curious (and I don't see for any reason why) my phone is Lenovo S560. I know it's not your usual high-end phone you guys carrying around. Hey, I don't have that much money, you know! Especially because no one ever click one of my ad sense! (to be fair, there wasn't a lot of people visiting my blog either, so... ¯\(º_o)/¯ (oh look! I'm using a cute emoticon!))

And no, I don't have any photo of it.
...
...
Okay, okay!

Here you go

I've tried but I couldn't make my phone stands like that

Yeah, I couldn't give you the Actual photo since my camera is happen to be also my phone.
Though I guess a mirror could do the trick, but no.
That's a big, big, no.


Ah, in another note, I started a new blog.
Well, I start it since Last August and just happens to neglect it like usual.
If you are not Indonesian, I guess it's little to no importance to you since it's written in Indonesian and discussing about manga that's published here.
But if you are curious, the sites is on http://komik-scale.blogspot.com/
(EDIT: I forgot to make the link click-able orz)
I'm trying, no, struggling to add new post, but hey, I'll be there eventually.

So, all in all, I think I've talk here much more than yesterday, eh?

This is Benz reporting, see you on the next post!!
AAAAAANNNNNNNNNDDDDDD CUT!!!!!!

It's Me! With a new phone!

So, hello! Long time no post. Things happen and so I lost my interest to post something. To be fair, I have a post in draft but I couldn't find the time to finish writing it. Btw, fyi, I'm writing this on my new phone (bragging rights, since this is my blog XD). This is my first smartphone and my first important thing that I bought with my own money. It feels great ya know.

I bought it to ease my communication with my friend. I went to Jakarta to watch an amazing event and this phone really helps me. What event you ask? Why, it's SCANDAL LIVE CONCERT! Amazing show indeed. I'll tell you on later post if I still want to :p

Anyway,  my head aches so I need to cut this short...
This is Benz, see you on the next post.
