Thanks for the update. I know K-F prides itself on quality, and I'm sure the wait (which usually isn't that long anyway) isn't anything new to K-F longtime K-F fans.

Also, really cool to hear about going back to old episodes! Coincidentally I was just going through the old episodes again just for kicks, and it was really interesting to compare the K-F then and now. I don't think you should be ashamed--it was fun to see how K-F evolved over the years.

On that topic, though, I did notice that some episodes were of less quality than others; of course, I'm referring not to the subs but the raw itself. I'm not sure if there are better raws available now, but some episodes just did not look good. The first few widescreen episodes, for example.

Thanx for the update, And for the pampering the Collectors (n___n)

Our older stuff did not have the same attention to quality in terms of encoding. As for the widescreen episodes, those were TV raws since they didn't have Widescreen DVDs for those, and they weren't so good.

The plan is to re-release 1-10 at some point in less shameful quality, so you can look forward to that as well.

Looking forward to this. Though I have to admit, I never found anything wrong with your early releases.

Well the opening and ending had crappy translations, plus mistakes in the karaoke in terms of spacing and even typos. Plus it looked lame on the opening. The encodes were also of poor quality, and the episodes' translations can use some improvement. Compare the two once we release one

I'll definitely do that. It's been years since I last saw the first few episodes. It sure brings back memories.

I see. In any case, it's great that you're going back to the old episodes and giving them a fresh coat.

Reminds me of how old Luffy's "Gomu Gomu" font is. Always fun to see how you guys spice up those attacks!

I also remember that one episode that had a short explanation in the beginning regarding the use of "nakama" and keeping the Japanese spellings for attacks. Definitely a memorable K-F moment that continues to shape its subs today.

hi guys, long time watcher, first time poster.  Just wanted to say, thanks for the update, and it is incredible that you are getting out such quality episodes at such high speeds.  It is also fantastic that you are RERELEASING the first ten because you wanted to keep quality high.  I just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work, because it is really appreciated

Awesome!!!

That's why I keep all your episodes saved in my external HD.

Good work KF!!!

Hah, gotta say I'm surprised that the old rerelease plan is still alive. Can't wait to see the result.

OoooOooOoooOoOh... Episodes 001-010 in present-day's encoding quality? Wholesome!

Erm I wonder now , wil you guys do a re-release of episode 207, too? The Fonts' size was different compared to the other episodes.

Thanks for the update, looking forward to the new year!

Right now we only plan on doing 1-10 over again, but I guess you never know. The "nakama" thing probably wouldn't make sense the second time around though, since we'd be keeping it in where appropriate from the start.
