F2 Grand Prix (1984)

  https://nyaa.si/view/1846614 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. Back with another live-action movie sub! Toho's "F2 Grand Prix" from 1984—"the first and last F2 racing movie", as Wikipedia JP likes to put it. This is a drama set in the world of F2 racing, where three racers—Yutaka Imoto (Ken Tanaka), a regular, Keiji Sasaki (Toru Minegishi), a longtime champion, and Satoru Nakano (Kiichi Nakai), a rookie—all compete for the title of champion in the '83 Japan Grand Prix tournament.   Interestingly enough, this movie was made before the F2 racing boom hit Japan—this kind of racing wasn't yet popular in Japan and consequently the movie did not do well as a result. I guess even the author of the original book that this movie was based on wasn't confident about turning this into a movie, as he seemingly went "Are you serious?" when he was approached by Toho and asked about making a live-action adaptation of his work. I originally d

We actually happen to have the whole show translated but only the first few have been edited (or are in the process of being edited) so far. The plan is to release these episode-by-episode and compile them into batches later. The long version: Memole was one of those anime shows I admittedly didn't know about for a while but I got invested into it the more I began checking it out. The art is by far probably the most beautiful that I've ever seen for an 80s anime show, and it has music by Nozomi Aoki to go along with that... I think I read somewhere that the staff wanted to make this show as if you were reading a storybook of sorts, and they absolutely nailed it with that look & feel. Naturally, I wanted to see if subs existed online, and unfortunately they didn't. Yume—whose services I've been u

Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Movie (1999)

  https://nyaa.si/view/1832479 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. Another collab with Kineko. This time it's a LD Domesday rip of the 1999 Yu-Gi-Oh! movie by Toei Animation, originally screened at one of their movie festivals or something. Various rips existed online beforehand but I think they mostly originated from bootlegs, and you can probably already guess what the quality on those were like. The English subs were equally just as bad, so after Kineko transferred their LD copy of it, I stepped in to make new English subs from scratch. This is now also subbed in Spanish as well, having been translated from the new ENG subs as the main base! English will be the default language here but you can switch to Spanish on the second sub track. Bonus content includes a trailer, hi-res LD scans, the LD's analog audio track as a separate audio file (de-clicked & de-noised by me), as well as an HD film scan of a rush print containing several minutes of WIP footage of the

Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald (1997)

https://nyaa.si/view/1827012 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. A project that took way longer than it should have... Nevertheless, I finally present to you Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald , from 1997! This movie tells the story of the cast & crew of a radio drama's late-night broadcast—the drama itself being an adaptation of a script submitted by a writer for a contest where the winner would have their story turned into a radio drama. After having done a run-through of the drama before it's set to go live, the cast & crew are seemingly ready for the final run. Until the lead actress of the drama (played by the wonderful Keiko Toda 😍) decides she refuses to participate anymore unless she's given permission to change her name. With only minutes left before they're scheduled to go live, the producer gives her permission—but then the other cast members decide they want to change their names as well, and even go as far as to have the setting changed and oth

The city which Michael & the other main characters reside in gets covered in smog on one sunny day, and as it turns out—unsurprisingly—the one behind it is none other than the voluptuous Scorcher (voiced by the queen Noriko Ohara 😍). She has no intention on getting rid of the smog unless the Governor brings Galatt to them, and so Michael, Patty, & Dr. Kiwi set out to infiltrate their hideout in the skies to resolve things once and for all. Camille on the other hand isn't so lucky and might've gotten himself into another cross-dressing situation with Scorcher's playgirls...
