Another year passes by… Now we’re 5 years old! It’s quite a feat really, considering how many groups I have seen form and disappear during these past 5 years. You could probably count on one hand the number of groups older than us and still actively releasing stuff regularly.

Personally, I am quite busy with my PhD (1 more year to go), so I don’t have much time to do stuff on here anymore. So a big thanks must be given to the Project Leaders of Doki, who keep the releases coming.

Despite efforts to consign us to history by certain people in the fansub scene, you guys haven’t forgotten about us, and your support keeps us going day after day.

So a big thanks to all you fans out there! May this coming year be as successful and fruitful as the past five!

PS: Pic related.

Three years have passed since I started Doki Fansubs. Besides releasing anime, we have expanded to doing VNs, streaming music, running our own public tracker and maintaining FansubDB.

Our AniDB stats are currently: 122 anime entries, 1370 episodes, 4816 files (20 undumped), 1745 GB. That’s pretty amazing.

Due to time constraints, I haven’t planned anything special for this birthday, apart from this post.

Some of you have probably noticed, but I have not been as active in fansubbing as I was in the past. This is due to studying for my MSc in Biochemical Engineering. I have passed this, and I am due to start a PhD in Biotechnology in January 2013. I am not sure how active I will be after that, but Doki will continue running with or without me, so don’t worry! Meanwhile, I intend to release everything stalled at me before 2013. That includes the After Story and Air Hi10P releases.

Thanks for all your donations which keep madoka.hologfx.com running!

A big shoutout to the active staff who keep Doki running, and thanks to all you guys out there for your support. Let’s make our fourth year as successful as the past three!

I have purchased http://dokifansubs.com/ and http://dokisubs.com/. Both will redirect you to the blog.

Doki has had forums for a while, but it was open to staff only. I am now making those forums public. Check them out! You will be able to ask for help with playback, request reseeding, amongst other things. It looks a bit empty now, but I will be filling it up over the next few days.

Winning banners have been chosen… There were so many good ones, going with 5 would not have done them justice. I chose a whopping 17 of them. They can be found here.

If your banner didn’t get chosen this time, don’t worry! A Christmas banner competition will be taking place in the last week of November. Have a go then 🙂
