Maid in Akihabara (77)

No subs (yet), but I was able to get the gist of it from the acting and the fairly simple story so far. A girl in need of work gets a tip from someone and gets hired as a waitress in an Akiba maid cafe as well as an introduction to otaku culture. She works with a girl who seems to be her friend and an older experienced woman. It had some funny moments with the otaku and when she tries to serve her first table. She seems to win over the crowd, causing the older maid to see her as a rival. The cheesy anime-like effects were a cute touch, especially the angry eye sparks.

Is there any chatter about a group subbing it? This looks incredibly hilarious.

Not yet.

And when you mean "hilarious", you mean "moeee~"...

I might be able to get a group to do it, but...

how do I download?

(Streaming WMV crashes my browser, so I can't watch it streamed, let alone download it)

Here's a link to the 1Mb stream.

There are many programs out there designed to capture streaming asx/wmv video into files, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with which are better or worse.

Which browser and video player are you using?

If you're not afraid of command lines, mplayer does a decent job even if it is completely evil.

mplayer -dumpstream -playlist http://akiba.netcinema.tv/asx/01_hig.asx

That would probably put the stream in a file named stream.dump, which you can then rename and watch. There's some option to change the default filename but I've never been able to remember it.

mplayer.exe -dumpstream -dumpfile somerandomfilename.asx http://akiba.netcinema.tv/asx/01_hig.asx

Were you successful?

No, that will only grab the .asx file, which is just a playlist.

mplayer.exe -dumpstream -dumpfile file.wmv -playlist http://akiba.netcinema.tv/asx/01_hig.asx

Episode 2 is up!

12 Name: Couch Potato 2005-12-08 03:57 ID:yn59VHmI

Our maid(SO MOEEEEEE!) tries to one-up the leader maid, but scares the crap out of the customers. Leader maid schools her in the care and maintenance of a goshoujin-sama. Nosebleed guy = lol. I wish I could understand leather guy's inspiring speech.

Next time: #1 maid contest?

Spoiler below

All that plus, MEGANEKKO POWER UP! (゚Д゚;)
キタ━━━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━ !!

If only someone would sub it for us :(

22 Name: Antipika 2006-02-14 17:59 ID:Heaven

Hi,

Anyone can put the direct link to each WMV file ? Or download them all, rar/zip them and upload them to another location ?

Streaming is a pain, especially with ASX :o

Thanks in advance.

23 Name: Couch Potato 2006-02-14 18:09 ID:yn59VHmI

There are no WMVs, it's all streamed. You'll have to do the stream capturing trickery mentioned above or hope someone else takes the trouble to do so.

24 Name: Antipika 2006-02-14 18:22 ID:Heaven

Hi,

Can't manage to capture the stream :o Anyone have done it and can upload me the files ?

25 Name: Antipika 2006-02-14 18:28 ID:Heaven

Ok, i found a software for capture the stream :)
