I don't see why it should be under their banner... They shouldn't get much credit since they couldn't finish the project with their existing crew.
Regardless, when they all get released, I'm gonna proofread it myself and strip out any crap before I hardsub.
When it comes right down to it... I'm not too worried about credit. They are, after all, free fan subs.
And the fact that they (TimeLessSubs) started the project carries a lot of weight with me. -- I've been working on the subs for Yoko Maki's series for a while now, and if someone barged in now with a different set of subs for it I'd be royaly pissed. --
Anyway... BMW and I both have my files (I only had the timing files to work from because BMW ripped them for me) so if we don't like what appears on d-addicts, we'll use my files for the Hard Sub and we can filter them through the trading community.
But as I said... I like the idea of having extra pairs of eyes looking at the subs. I am, after all, the king of the typo and the master of the run on sentence.

Awesome work guys. Beem, i'll be interested in a hardsub copy once you're done :)
BTW Geez, which Maki Yoko series is it you're doing ?
No worries, I just think that you deserve 100% of the credit after their laziness and admitted decline in interest in the show should put to rest the one key thing I feel about releasing this alone: it (IMHO) falsely gives the impression that this group had been working on these subs all along. I'm not saying they don't deserve the blight in the future, but it also sends a message to the subbing groups at large that if you are planning on dedicating yourself to the whole series, unless you enjoy redundancy (see Nodame, Last Friends), you're going to waste resources on all other groups that could go towards other series to further spread the culture of Japanese Drama.
Then again, maybe I'm just being philosophical because I have been extremely patient with their group for two separate series (this and Rookies) and have become extremely irritated at their work methods after the series ends (that is, they tend to grind their releases to a halt with a handful of shows to go :shakehead:).
Anyways, it's your decision in the end, but I'd rather have the subs available than going into the 'trade community' and nothing more...mostly because I have nothing nobody else would want and I'd be royally screwed out of them. *whimper* :puppydog:

Don't count on that :) I always thought so too, but it turns out I have some things that even some of the most hardcore traders didn't have. Go figure. Besides, you could always do trades for blanks: That's what I plan to do with beem once the hardsubs are finished :)

Looks like I'd be tradin for blanks too if they don't get released softsub wise, thanks for the tip!
Ahhh... The only reason I brought it up was to let "Mop Girl" fans know that the subs will be going up in soft sub form at d-addicts.
Darned if I can figure out what you're worried about.
I can't give you a date on it because the folks at TimeLesSubs didn't give me a date. But once they finish doing whatever they feel they have to do to the subs... they'll be releasing the final episodes in a batch of 5.
Smile. This is a good thing. It was a fun show and IMO it stayed fun to the end.
I wanted to watch this drama because I'm a Keiko-chan fan. I wasn't expecting much, considering that she's been a mediocre actress in everything of hers I've seen. I'm so glad that I wasn't disappointed with this drama.
The story-line is rather blue-printed. We've seen it in the Trick series, and more recently in Galileo. But neither of these dramas had Keiko in it and therefore neither had the certain charm that this drama has.
Keiko was grand in this comedic role. Her comedic timing was good and her facial expressions were quite amusing. I was surprised to see Tanihara Shosuke in such a role and I thought the chemistry between the two was grand. The supporting staff was good and I found the plots for the episodes to be intriguing. I never got tired of the repetitive formula.
There's nothing ground-breaking about this drama, and you're not missing much if you decide not to watch it, but I had fun with it and I believe that Keiko-chan has proven that she can succeed as a leading lady.
Spoiler — click to revealOn a side note, the ending was left quite open, which I'm not sure I liked... but I'm guessing this means there may be a second season. Yatta!
I've seen him in a few things, but never in a leading role. I thought he was wonderful... and quite attractive.
Interestingly enough, Keiko and Tanihara Shosuke were paired up again in her latest movie "Handsome Suit" which also co-stars Muga Tsukaji, who was in another Keiko movie "The Mamiya Brothers"...
