Sonic Soldier Borgman - Batch 3 (Episodes 01 ~ 27)


https://nyaa.si/view/1678833

Took longer than I had expected...but the 3rd batch for my ongoing Sonic Soldier Borgman fansub is now finally up. This contains v3.5's, v2.5's, and v1.5's of previously released episodes.

Lots of changes were made for this batch. I kept a list of changes made, though I stopped continuously updating it at some point so some of said changes might not actually be listed in here. Right off the bat, though—I re-watched the whole show starting from Episode 1 up to 27 for the purpose of re-timing lines, fixing any typos, and making various adjustments to how the lines were presented on-screen. 

Here is what was changed for this batch:

  • The title logo now has fancy typesetting, thanks to Windii!
  • ED 1 has lyrics that fade in & fade out, but I neglected to actually add in said effects for the English-subbed lyrics. Effects have now been properly added in, once again thanks to Windii.
  • Episodes 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 16, and 20 have new typesetting-related additions, added in by Windii.
  • Some of you may have noticed several episodes ago that I lowered the height of the default dialogue subs—previously-released episodes have been edited to have the subs match this same height level as well.
  • Various lines throughout the episodes were reaching the red zone with regards to CPS in Aegisub—these have been re-worded and/or re-timed to prevent this.
  • Romaji lyrics for the insert song in Episodes 10 & 13 have been added.
  • So, throughout the episodes, the students sometimes refer to their teachers as just..."teach". Or "Ma'am" when referring to Anice. I've left it as is for Anice, but for Ryo/Chuck I've switched it to Mr. Hibiki/Mr. Sweager respectively. There are probably instances where I've switched it to "Sir" instead but I don't remember—not a big deal anyways.
  • Ep. 8: "Episode 8" was supposed to show up alongside the EP name as well but I missed this, somehow. This has now been fixed.
  • Megalo City and Megalo Building had inconsistencies throughout the episodes with regards to their capitalization, but this should be fixed now. If there's an extra instance that I somehow missed then I will fix it in a later batch.
  • Inconsistency with Randou's name in Ep. 1 & "Baltector" terminology in Ep. 1 (I think some of the early episodes past Ep. 1 had the "Baltector" teminology issue too, but I don't remember)
  • Ep. 5 NEP: "Droll" should have been "Toru" instead, this has now been fixed.


As usual, thanks to whomever has been helping out with the show so far—you know who you are.

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
