As many of you probably know, the special episode included on Vol. 8 of the Clannad After Story DVD is out this week. We are working on this as we speak and we should have it ready soon for your viewing pleasure. In the meantime, for those of you looking to grab the DVD versions of the series, we have the first half of After Story for you in a nice little batch torrent package. If you're looking for WS versions in particular, you should then grab the h264 files

If you'd like to grab the individual files from our bots, I have just uploaded them to both bots as follows:

AQS|Tomoyo: pack #88-99 (XviD DVD), #112-123 (h264 WS DVD)
AQS|Archive: pack #91-102 (XviD DVD), #115-126 (h264 WS DVD)

As per usual, you can reference the updated file list in the Releases section of the site.

Torrents:

Here is chapter 233 from our scanlations division. Also, I've put chapters 234-235 in this announcement as well, which we scanlated a while back. They were from a failed plan we had to do advance chapters separately from the backlog chapters. As there are many of you who still have been sticking with us and reading them in order, I bring them to your attention again now since we've filled the gap.

A reminder that we're still recruiting here at AQS, especially for experienced rebuilders. See: AQSrecruit for details.

After some discussion among our team members and changes in some of our schedules, we have made the decision to drop ef - a tale of melodies. We figured that this was for the best as the series has already been completed by good groups that are out there. This also allows us to free up our schedule to look at a brand new project.

So which series are we considering? Well, we have some summer series in mind, including Princess Lover based on the PC game by Ricotta and in looking ahead to the fall, very likely the 2nd season of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu. However, we could use some extra help, mainly translators for these two series. We are looking for Japanese to English translators to join our team for these projects. If you're interested, contact myself or one of our team members in our IRC chan or via e-mail. More info can be found here:

And as per usual, we look forward to bringing you more To Heart 2 AD Plus and Negima goodness in the upcoming fall season.

Today's release from our fansub team is the 1st episode of the new To Heart 2 ad plus series. We thank you guys for your patience with us on this, and we're very pleased with how this turned out, as we're always up for doing more TH2 related stuff.

Silfa is currently working as a maid at Takaaki's house. However, she seems to have a little trouble with her duties as part of it involves going out in public to buy groceries, as she's a bit "shy" in a sense. But when it comes to Haruka Yuzuhara's special curry, she'll do what she has to in order to make this special dish for Takaaki. And that includes some competition from Milfa-chan (Harumi-chan)

Enjoy the episode and don't forget to help seed!

From our scanlation division, we bring you chapter 230.

Your King shall be by later for some words of wisdom, once we drag him out of the gutter and force him to sober up.

We welcome aboard Tofu to help out with the editing process, and we remind you that we're still looking for experienced rebuilders to help out. See: http://tinyurl.com/AQSRecruit
