NEW PROJECT RAHHHHHH  🗣🗣🗣

TL;DR—this is another collaboration I'm doing with Inka Subs. 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 using for the majority of my projects—told me that this show was a dream project of his and that he had been wanting to work on it for a long time, so after some talking with the folks at Inka, I went and commissioned Yume to get the whole show translated. Overall, the translation took about 5-6 months. The rest is being handled by Inka Subs—typesetting, TLC, etc., but I'm helping out with QC as well.

I think that's about it. I announced the project on Twitter a while back but based off the replies I got, it would seem that a lot of people grew up watching this as kids—albeit, in different languages. I hope these very same people enjoy watching this in its original language with English subs :^)

Please look forward for more episodes!

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

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

Image
  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

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
