Perevodildo's ramblings

Raw:  Piyo-Piyo Productions Translation & TS: Perevodildo Editing: Paul Geromini Quality check: True Noobow Gamer Another day, another Buddhist schlock in our work queue. This time, blame Collectr for giving me bad ideas. This translation would’ve been largely impossible without the manga scans, shedding light on original pronunciations and spellings of numerous names and Buddhist concepts here, 99% of which are borrowed from Chinese and are entirely inscrutable otherwise. That manga and the show are still garbage, though, so make no mistake—there’s a good reason why it hasn’t been subbed before, and why only Perevodildo had the folly to translate it. In a sense, it is Hiroshi Motomiya’s take on Japanese “Divine Comedy” (or “Jesus Christ Superstar” if that’s more your jam) and I believe you gotta respect the hustle, at least. It makes for a perfect B-movie, approved by both me and Paul, the certified trash enjoyers. You will find in me an inveterate atheist (as reflected by our...

RAW: WOWmd’s  VHSrip Translation & TS: Perevodildo Quality check: Anonymous As of me writing this, WOWmd already acquired what seems to be a better VHS copy of this show, so expect a .v2 sometime this year and feel free to give feedback on the subs. AniDB  |  Subs only  | Nyaa

RAW by  WOWmd Translation & typesetting by Perevodildo Editing by Paul Geromini For reasons yet unknown to science, some of WOWmd’s recent encodes only play in VaginaVision™️ mode in VLC, and some make it shit the bed with dropped frames. To properly enjoy this release, you’ll need some actually capable player, such as MPV. This is a Gakken (educational) anime, produced as educational material, and distributed in a very limited number of copies directly to schools on VHS. Needless to say, this never received any home release or any meaningful attention at all, therefore nobody, myself included, had ever heard of it up until now, and you won’t find this title in any database, even the release date is uncertain.  This website  says 1997,  this one  says 1998 was when they acquired it, so the 1997 release date seems plausible. The fact WOWmd managed to acquire it on VHS is a miracle in itself. And being a human rights awareness PSA, it’s probably one of the mos...

RAWs:  WOWmd’s WEB-DL Translation & typesetting: Perevodildo While this resub offers significant improvement over the previously available hardcoded crabsticks, it is by no means a definitive release. At least because it is, once again, one man’s work with little to no QC from Unowen. I know for a fact that I botched half of the gymnastics terms here, and misused the other half, all while being a clueless ESL. If you believe you can offer an improvement over this translation, be my guest. The video for episode 1 is sadly 480p, bitstarved and interlaced, it’s only advantage over the previously available RAWs being the absence of the watermark. Still, from episode 2 on, the video is 576p and with better settings, so it blows the  Gyao raws  out of the water. Episodes: How Come?! Tournament With Zero Practice! {なぜだ!?練習ゼロで競技会} Oh No!

Translation and typesetting by Perevodildo Encoding and quality checking by WOWmd Quality checking by True Noobow Gamer The 7 episodes come in two files because that’s how they were arranged on the VHS tapes WOWmd bought, and I judged that rearranging them was too much of a pain. Read more about it on our  first release of it  if you really wanna know. I know we’ve released 1-4 previously… And before that, I released 1-2 separately, and even before that, I released ep 1 separately… Doesn’t matter now. The subs for 1-4 are largely the same, but I added typesetting, because apparently I can do that now. From episode 5 on, we have a new QC on board. Abbreviations and TL notes: • Throughout the series, the characters repeatedly call Yuki (Kenshiro guy) a “madogiwazoku” (literally “window side tribe”). This is a specific Japanese term from the bubble era, referring to the company employees that were once useful to the company, but because laying them off was considered unethical, t...

Ripped and encoded by WOWmd from his own VHS tape Translated by Perevodildo Edited by Paul Geromini and darkcart The circumstances force the main character, the soft-spoken Kondo, into the role of a yakuza syndicate boss. Will he succeed to conquer his cute co-worker’s heart 150 chapters later? Read the original manga to find out. Or not. There was one TL note I wanted to add, but I forgot, and now I can’t remember what it was. It’s incredible to me that this manga, extremely influential in Japan, received only one anime adaptation, and even that is very rare, I’m not even sure it made it to LD. The source manga was coming out for 25 years straight and then returned with a sequel which is still ongoing! It was also officially licensed in Taiwan. I struggle to understand the reasons for its success. The premise and the designs do look interesting, but after reading through the first volume for the purposes of this translation, I really can’t call it something I’d read in my free time, e...

Well, folks. A lot has happened since the last release of this show… Where do I start? First off, we had a bit of a revolving door situation with editors. For this episode, the number of those is the imposing four! The show now also has a proper TLC. Add this and that, and 95% of the lines are entirely new now. But at least, now you know the project is not dead,  just on life support . Still, we’re restarting it from the first episode. This is our new tag and staff roster, probably just one TougeWolf short of being an actual Inka project lol.
