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.
http://akiba.netcinema.tv/asx/01_hig.asx
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.asxThat 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
i think
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.asxEpisode 2 is up!
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)━━━━━━ !!

>otome gumi/sakura gumi
Who?
so the whole show is online? or are those just clips from the episodes?
They're entire episodes, all of them are on the website.
wow an online show nice hehe. how do they make money? are the commercials in there as well?
If only someone would sub it for us :(
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.
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.
Hi,
Can't manage to capture the stream :o Anyone have done it and can upload me the files ?
Ok, i found a software for capture the stream :)

Hooray! GJ!
now we just need subtitles!
When I saved the stream of the first episode [ttp://akiba.netcinema.tv/asx/01_hig.asx] it was only like 2 minutes long? Isn't it supposed to be longer? Did they take the whole episode down?
Hi,
They'r 3 WMV files for each ASX file :)
1 : Introduction/Prologue (011hig.wmv, 021hig.wmw, 031high.wmv...)
2 : Whole Episode (012hig.wmv, 022hig.wmv, 032high.wmv...)
3 : Credits/Mini making off (013hig.wmv, 023hig.wmv, 033hig.wmv...)
Try to select them with the last "menu" on SDP, it's called URLs.
Antipika.
crap, did they take down the streams on 2/15?
i never got around to watching the last part. :(
hm, still there. just no links on the page anymore. whew.
Crud, someone better capture the streams before the webmaster gets wise and really does remove them.
Hi got all of them, but i don't have fast upload (1Mbit).
Total size for all files is 561 MB. I'll maybe make a bittorent link but on a private tracker only to avoid leechers :o Don't want to upload this to one or two guys who'll never share it.
>>36 Any chance of getting those files? I know a maid-loving translation group that's feeling a little projectless right now.
Nevermind, I'm downloading the streams now.
Ep 1 was moe-tastic.
Due to all the trouble we've been having, I wouldn't promise anything, but let's just say we've been looking into it.
oh man it would rock to have it subbed!
>>41
Trouble? :( Do you mean personal, organizational, technical or something else?
Take your pick. We like to think of ourselves as back on track, though! But still cautious with the promises.
hmm... I just came here after finish watching Densha Otoko the drama series like an hour ago. I am in a bunch of other forums as well, but this style of forum is very interesting hmm... ya I'm a n00b XD
Hiya?
Lurk more.
XD I'll try.
hey just wondering do you know how tripcode works?
Because I saw someone's name as:
Sharp!KQAbEcB7Uw
and how did you change your ID to say Heaven?
Oh I see, thanks a lot^^.
LINK PLEASE!

ZOMG! THIS CALLS FOR AN ASCII CELEBRATION!
yeahh――♪ o(ﾟ∀ﾟo) (oﾟ∀ﾟo) (oﾟ∀ﾟ)o ――hh♪
w00t people are here XD
http://cerealandmilk.net/iichan/torrents.html
Look for the link on this page.
And >>54, please stop fagging up threads with your inane chatter. LURK MORE.
This is so ridiculously bad. Saki sounds like she has been huffing helium, the sets are horrible, it looks like it was filmed by students with a camcorder, the special effects are...special
In the scene where she's talking on her cell phone, is the homeless guy calling her at the end?
Yes. Saki's pretty much homeless herself, as you'll see in episode 2.
Speaking of which...
WORK HAS BEGUN.

YAAAAAAY!
CALLING ALL OTAKU
There's a line in Maid in Akihabara episode 2 that none of us can figure out, including mogura, the native Japanese on the team. Himeko is watching Saki and Miyabi fighting, complete with angry eye sparks, and she says something like, Whoa! This is just like "PIISU to ANATEKA!"
Listen to the line at http://www.ekvin.com/whatsthis.wav (thanks to cosmo_gunny for hosting).
They're probably two names, so it's likely a reference that none of us recognize. If you think you have a clue, let us know!
http://cerealandmilk.net/torrents/[iichan]_Maid_in_Akihabara_Episode_3.avi.torrent
Who will be Number One Maid? Saki gains an important fan in a faraway land, but has to think fast when her past catches up with her.
ftw
I can't even tell which president they were trying to impresonate. It sounded more like someone trying to do Sean Connery.
Has this show been subbed?
>>70
...
Yes, torrents are here. http://cerealandmilk.net/iichan/
More specifically, here: http://cerealandmilk.net/torrents/
