Hotman 1 and 2

When Hotman first started its once a week showing on my local TV station, which usually broadcasts kiku subs every friday, i wasnt really interested in it, but i managed to watch every week and i gradually liked it more and more. Today is Saturday. Last Friday (8 days ago) I saw Hotman episode 6, and that was the one ep that made me want to see the next eagerly. It was a very suspenseful ending to that ep. Well, come yesterday, when ep7 is about to show, i remembered to watch the show at around 3-4 o clock, but later in the evening i decided to take a little nap, and when i woke up this morning, after my regular routine i quickly remembered that i had missed something, and it hit me - i had slept through that ep that i wanted to see so badly. Now, i know that this series was never actually released by anyone, in the newsgroups or any other place, but I have read that some people may have captured the eps onto their HD. if any of those people are reading this, i think you know what im trying to ask.. :) onegaishimasu!!

i can set u up with the VCD rips i have. only chinese subs.

neefo, i appreciate that offer but i do not know chinese, thanks though. im wondering if there is a chance that anyone has hotman #7 with english subs (Kiku)? it was aired last night here in NY, but for some reason the eps are 'delayed' and shown 5 days later in hawaii (if im not wrong), which is very weird, and i think should be the other way around since kiku is located in hawaii. anyways, if anyone is capturing this series from hawaii, and it is set to air on Wed, i would appreciate it greatly if u can tell me who u are, and send me that episode after u capture it, anytime after u capture it before friday night (thats when the next one airs). i couldnt believe that i fell asleep and forgot about that episode. hopefully, someone can help me out with this problem, thanks

CtrlV,

U. S. Nippon TV's material comes from Asahi Homecast in L. A., not KIKU-TV. That's why we get it earlier.

o i see, thanks for clearing that up for me.. :sweat:
hopefully in any case, someone might arrange to send me this ep cause i feel so bad for missing it :shakehead: .. sigh, how could i forget, i kept thinking of it throughout the week :banghead:

Episode 7 will air in Hawaii this coming 10/29 on KIKU-TV. I have the previous six in MPEG-1/VCD format. Problem is that I'm currently not active in trading on-line. If there's a place where I can dump the episode on-line (it'll be less than 500MB), I'm flexible.

why aren't any groups subbing it? Is JEM planning to sub it? i'm dying to watch this series

I'd say it is probably because both keal and myself have already captured the series (actually, currently in the works), with English subtitled already done. keal will be posting episode 1 (KIKU-TV recording) later this month on the newsgroups, and I'd imagine other people will take them and seed it at other places. I'm already up to episode 6 myself, though I'm not actively seeding the various trading spots (I use my own captures for trading material).

Jem doesn't sub his dramas, he only captures em, the dramas are already subbed. It's unlikely the series to air on Channel 8 of Singapore since Hotman is a TBS drama. Channel 8 airs Fujitv dramas exclusively :)

"Hotman emergency" is emergency free now, hehe.

Nice! Can't wait to see the show, Akiko Yada. Let's hope she isn't being dumped in this series, hehe!
So Keal is capturing the series, not Musui? Are Keal and Musui in joint task, they divide the works? Musui's caps are better in quality, I'm not sayin Keal's are bad either. Just a thought. Thanks to them we've been able to enjoy the TBS and Asahi dramas :applaud:

I wholeheartedly agree with the quality difference between Musui and Keal. I'm not sure if they work in joint task... The only Musui capture I know of is Otousan, and that capture is in MPEG-2 format with a higher resolution, which explains why it is better than Keal (Keal captures in MPEG-1 at 352x200 or something around there). It's Musui's quality that inspired me to upgrade my equipment as well, and all my captures as of 10/23/2003 will be in MPEG-2 as well. That means Hotman ep7 from me will be MPEG-2.

Glad to hear Musui's quality inspired you to move forward for better quality :)
The musui capped SVCD dramas I've seen so far are
- Dreams of Romance
- Tail of Happiness
- Kintaro 3 (only had a glimpse)
- Midnight Rain
- Otousan

Keal is a veteran in the jdrama community, Investigator Mariko was his first encode :mrgreen:

Any one have episodes of the JDRAMA HOTMAN subbed from tv? I have bots in my channel that can serve it. Also I have a tracker for bt.

Aaaaah, maybe you can be my seed man! By next week I'll have all 11 episodes ripped. They're KIKU-TV captures - 1 thru 6 is MPEG-1/VCD, 7 thru 11 is MPEG-2/SVCD.

I can have torrents for those episodes up. Plus I have bots in my irc channel that can serve it.

Are you the one ripping Hotman? Thanks a lot. I've gotten two episodes from streamload so far.

i was just wondering is it really over cause i don't know an the endingwas sorta confusing1 :applaud: but i was good and hinata isss hot

Hotman showed its final episode on Sunday here in the Los Angeles area. Next Sunday is Project X. The next three Sundays are a 3-part historical drama and then Good Luck comes on in January.

how was it confusing?

Maybe because the ending was so boring compared to the earlier parts of the series? :crazy:
