Doki is looking to recruit new typesetters. In particular, we’d like someone (or multiple people) to help un-stall PriPara, though applicants will not be obligated to any particular show from the start.
No experience at all is required to apply for one of the typesetting positions. Experienced typesetters are also welcome, but we’re more than happy to train newbies from the ground up. Jocko in particular (who is currently typesetting Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry) would like to offer his expertise to anyone willing to learn.
In case anyone is not sure what typesetting is, it is the art of making sign translations appear as though they belong in a show. For a more visual understanding, click on the image above to see the full-size version, which contains nine screenshots of typesetting from several recent Doki shows. It does not require a large skillset to be able to do reasonably complex typesetting, and the skills you learn are highly applicable to work in graphic design. (We even use Adobe Illustrator.)
To anyone interested, please email Holo at holo@doki.co with the subject line “Doki Typesetting” and join the IRC channel #doki-recruits@irc.rizon.net, where you should try making contact with any of the staff there — preferably me (Pikminiman) if I’m online.
If anyone is interested but unfamiliar with IRC, leave a comment down below, and I will help you get situated.

Someone needs to apply. For the sake of mah PriPara ;_;
Sadly, I’ve already been recruited for other projects, which I’m already behind on as it is. Good luck, though.
I’d like to help you guys, but my computer is so fucking shit that I can’t even properly watch anime with heavier typset. If I ever get a new computer and can find a copy of Creative Suit, I’ll gladly apply
you chose the wrong release pic(s), they look like a lot of work ( ¬‿¬)
I was concerned people might think that as well, but oh well. They look cool!
I don’t like the one on the top right, because it looks so cluttered, but I guess there isn’t much you can do about that. the rest look good though
I wouldn’t mind although I’m not sure if I have the time to dedicate for it.
Typesetting is basically timing the subs with the video right?
Thats simply timming.
Typesetting are things like choosing the correct font/style/color, adobe made “words”, placing of non-standard subs, synchro of words with panning scenes, etc.
oh you mean like things such as labels that stick on top of a mobile phone to replace the japanese text?
Yeah, that’s it.
I would expect 1-2 dudes doing all those things for dialogue only and another 1-3 doing the special typsetting, like the ones you see on the img.
Actually we (usually) only have 1 person timing dialogue, and 1 person doing typesetting. In the image, 2 of those signs were done by Pikminiman, and the rest by me, but they are from a bunch of different shows.
The real question is Non Non Biyori Repeat when
When? It already aired.
But the only subs for it have vivid’s cancerous script.
It’s like Doki doesn’t even care about lolis anymore
Hi, I’m interested in the position, but have no experience in IRC. Some help would be appreciated
Sure thing. Go to this page, enter a nickname, change the channel from “#doki” to “#doki-recruits”, and connect. Then, post a message in that channel that contains my name (“Pikminiman”), to make sure I see it. If I’m not online, post a message anyway and try to get someone’s (anyone’s) attention. Someone should be able to help you.
Hi! I’d be happy to learn, especially for the sake of Pripara. I don’t know how to IRC so I’m commenting about that. I’ll send the email as well.
See comment above for irc help.
Wish I had the time to save PriPara… I hope some day soon we’ll get subs for the show!
By the way, I don’t know if this will help, but I made a post about this whole thing on Tumblr and it got some reblogs (the post is very fresh), I hope this will bring us somewhere!
The post is here (hope this isn’t considered spam, delete the message if so!):

Hi, I would like to apply, but yeah, I’m confused with IRC and I don’t know how to do typesetting ;__;
if I just knew :<
Any updates about PriPara?
As of today you’re 17 episodes behind…
I really hope you’ll try to restart subbing the show, there are lots of fans desperately waiting for your subs…
