Perevodildo's ramblings

Video: Batty’s Laserdisc, ripped and encoded by WOWmd. Original translation: R1 DVD subs, translated by Toshifumi Yoshida & Trish Ledoux, whoever that is. For this release, Perevodildo translation-checked, fine-timed to the new raw, and subbed the advert for some other Masamune Shirow’s OVAs included at the end of the disk. Marty Mcflies (LonelyChaser fansubs) quality-checked. I also included the official English dub for those of you mentally deficient, and unlike last time I didn’t even half-ass syncing it. I full-assed it here. You’ve seen this one before: wowmd’s shiny new LD rip of some mid, perevodildo’s quick-and-dirty revision of whatever that show used to have before. I don’t have a lot to add here. AniDB   |   Subs only   |   Boosty Find it on cat site.

This OVA is a massive parody of media of the time (1980s), sort of like Gintama of its time, but more incomprehensible, less funny, and primarily focused on video games (it was even serialized in Famicom Tsuushin [Famicom News] magazine, although past the first 2 volumes it became too expensive to pay royalties to the game right holders, so they turned it into a slice-of-life manga about the author). You may have never heard of this show or manga, but it actually spawned several games of it own, and its fandom in Japan is alive even to this day—the show’s characters...

Name Contribution PPP-Raw (non-domesday LD rips) Raws Perevodildo Translation & typesetting True Noobow Gamer Quality check This torrent includes both the original  1991 2-episode OVA  and the “Shin”  1992 6-episode sequel . It was as painfully mid as it can get. Our QC nominated it as our worst project yet. All the characters’ names are puns or jokes in some other way: Fukuda Fukutaro (Japan’s Foreign Affairs Vice-Minister) has the same word in his name and surname, and that word means “Vice-Minister” Kibo Takamaru {希望 タカマル}—name means “increasing hope” Takamaru’s Father Kibo Koen {タカマルの父 希望 公園}—name means “supporting hope” King of Champon Kingdom—Zako Takanokami Kaodeka {ちゃんぽん王国国王 座高タカノカミ カオデカ}—“King” is spelled as reversed “Kingdom,” zako means “small fry,” takanokami means “high god;” kaodeka means “big face” Kirameku Mirai—means “glistening future” Kirameku Zugai—means “glistening skull” (he is bald) Yumega Al Zaemon {夢我アル佐ェ門}—means “at least have dreams” Yumega ...

Contribution Name RAW Science Film Museum  (ripped by R-Raws) Translation Perevodildo Editing Paul Geromini This anime is another one from the science film archive, you won’t find it in any database, and even the exact release date is unknown, but because the film’s subtitle reads “Animated film commemorating the 30th anniversary of his death,” we know at least it was released in 1990, since Kagawa died on April 23rd, 1960. This work’s title is self-explanatory, it’s a dry retelling of the events of life of one Toyohiko Kagawa (voiced primarily by Tomiyama Kei), a Christian religious activist from early 20th century Japan, with occasional animated reenactments. It can probably best decribed by Paul’s impression: "possibly the dullest show I have ever worked on, just wall to wall text about a guy who is trying to sell insurance. Still kind of interesting for a minute or two" In essence this show is quite similar to another one in my pipeline currently—Ningen Kakumei (although ...

Source: Obscurerips release (WOWmd’s LD, transcribed crossfade subs) Translation check & typesetting: Perevodildo Quality check: MartyMcFlies (LonelyChaser fansubs) - only episode 1 Special thanks to the tokimekimedia fan-site for compiling the character cards and song lyrics. Episodes: Think about you Feel your heart This release includes two interviews with the VAs from DVD extras (lazily translated by me), and “Behind the Scenes” LD extra (with subs from Obscurerips release, not sure who was the TL), but I didn’t include any of the “character profile” extras because I don’t care, and the “Tokimeki Memorial 2 Opening Animation” extra because it’s literally the episode 2 ending with a different song, I don’t know why it was included on the LD in the first place. I’m also sad to note that there are quite the few audio dropouts in episode 2, from about minute 13 to minute 19, but I don’t have the skills to fix it. These subs have quite the history. This show was f...

Contribution Name RAW MartyMcflies’s rip of his own VHS tape. (He also provided the scans for the OP and ED lyrics, which are LP-exclusive.) Translation Perevodildo Translation check NorainuG Editing Collectr Quality check Paul Geromini We didn’t plan it this way, but now this release is dedicated to the memory of Shigeo Nagashima, who passed away exactly one month ago, on June 3rd, 2025. Because this show has been so obscure for ages, nobody bothered to add it to MAL and AniDB, so you won’t find it there just yet. Essentially, it’s just a semi-animated semi-documentary biopic about  Shigeo Nagashima , an influential and beloved Yomiuri Giants player, who just so happened to pass away the day Marty sent me the raw for this show due to losing interest in subbing it himself. Admitted, I did a quick-and-dirty on those subs, both because the audio on that VHS wasn’t the best, and because it’s essentially a baseball anime, and nobody cares about baseball, and only asked Collectr from Or...

RAW: UCCUSS DVD rip (encoded from WoH’s DVD) (or is it a remux?) Translation: Perevodildo Quality check: True Noobow Gamer An RF-4B Phantom II stationed in Japan  crashed  into a residential area in Yokohama in 1977, resulting in 3 fatalities and 6 injuries. That seemingly unremarkable incident that would hardly otherwise be seen as anything more than a 6-minute long youtube disaster documentary material, spawned a picture book in 1979, this movie in 1984, and finally, a statue erected on the site in 1985. Without trying to sound disrespectful to the victims, I’ve seen rowdy drinking incidents that were both more dramatic and deadly than this, yet never went out of their way to make you waste an hour of your time watching the victims live their painfully mundane lives, completely devoid of any features or events that’d make spending your time with them any justifiable, only to show you the disaster in question in the last 10 minutes. This show is like Natsu...
