v2 release of the "GRADUATION" TV special I posted months ago.
TL;DR — v1 has some mistranslations and other errors I missed. These have been fixed by sotoo.

Also included two bonus features related to the TV special that were bundled in the same DVD box set that "GRADUATION" was in—these include an interview with Momoko Kikuchi about the movie, and a behind-the-scenes special that aired on TV sometime before "GRADUATION" did.
Both specials were timed & translated by Windii, with some folks from InkaSubs providing TLC on the BTS special. 

Lastly: I'm including the TV special's original stereo broadcast audio, courtesy of HorrorMatterSawYou. Perhaps someone else can manage to stitch this onto the DVD version :^)

Enjoy!

Sweet Home (1989) [LD] + Extras

Image
  https://nyaa.si/view/1786505 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. Subbed version of a 1989 JP horror film that's currently stuck on VHS/LD, but seemingly later went on to inspire the Resident Evil franchise? Not the movie, I mean the movie's Famicom adataption. When this movie was released on home media, the director sued the production company over royalties with regards to the VHS/LD releases, and over concerns about whether the movie would have been edited without his consent. The director lost the lawsuit, and since then this has not been re-released by Toho, presumably because it has left a bad taste in their mouth and they don't wish to associate with it anytime soon. I had known about this movie for a while now but wasn't prioritizing it in my "to-watch" list. It wasn't until I was approached by Kineko Video when I found out that this movie both had shitty English subs (not surprising for fansubbed Asian live-action movies, sadly) and a

Devil de Story (1983)

  https://nyaa.si/view/1763447 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. Our first 2024 upload! A mysterious—and possibly lost—film from 1983... This popped up for sale back in 2022 with little to no info online—it was listed for an abysmal price but me and some folks from Kineko were able to obtain it securely with our crowdfunding efforts. The TLC'er on this project concluded that this was likely made by a talent agency with the purpose of promoting its actors. Considering this is the only film they showed up in, I don't think it went the way they had hoped... Anyways—hard to describe what kind of movie this is. Some guy wakes up in the desert with an alien girl and uses some "tickets" he had on him to take various glimpses throughout his life, starting from when he was a child and leading up all the way to his appearance in the desert. He despises being "ordinary" and attempts (unsuccessfully) to be the exact opposite. I'm not sure what the endin

Sea Cat (1988) [16mm 1080p HD Scan]

Image
  https://nyaa.si/view/1696008 Fansub credits can be found in the link above. Another collab with Kineko Video. This time, it's the English-subbed release of an anime short from 1988, titled "Sea Cat'—scanned in 1080p from a 16mm reel. Produced by Oh! Production, this tells the story of a kitten who gets raised by a sea otter, only to eventually encounter a nuclear submarine which the kitten mistakes for a "whale" at first. I don't want to spoil anything else...but the ending is pretty wild. It's a few minutes shorter than your average TV anime episode so this won't take up too much of your time. Details about this anime are scarce. One thread on the internet states that this was a "hobby" film by the company which could  imply they did this for fun. It's certainly possible!  However, considering the production of this was funded by a teacher's union, I'm leaning more towards the possibility that this was commissioned as an educa
