Episodes: 0. Winbee’s 1/8 Panic {ツインビー ウィンビーの⅛パニック} Venus’s Smile {ヴィーナスの微笑み} A Midsummer Mirage (That’s Exactly What it is) {真夏の蜃気楼（そのままじゃん）} Evil! Rise Again! {悪よ復活せよ!} Specials: 0. Tulip Beach Stories No name Day 365 Final Episode Episode 0 sub is based on this translation from wiki. Unfortunately, I can’t really tell who translated it (probably random masters way back in 2009?), but the translation was spotty. Special 4 (Tulip Beach Stories) translation seems to have the same origin. For the rest, it’s my OTL. Episode 0 has this strange number because it was originally released as a limited-edition video for the winners of some Super Famicom lottery in late 1993. Later, on December 28, 1998, it was released again as “Vol.0” for general sale when the rest of the OVA was released. So kind of a similar situation to You’re Under Arrest OVAs and TV (which we’ve also done, but marty decided to stall to kingdom come, duh). As for Special 4 “Tulip Coast Stories,” it was originally include...

Raw AnimeFesta WEBDL, ripped by Eternal_Blizzard (special thanks to Blankaex) Translation, typesetting Perevodildo Editing Paul Geromini, Marty Mcflies ( LonelyChaser fansubs ), imatu The raw is a new 960x720 rescan of the show, ripped from AnimeFesta service by Eternal_Blizzard (he also dug up the lyrics for the ending and insert songs 🧎). While the video looks excellent and sexy, and blows the previously existing 2008 vintage 240p VHS rip out of the water, the audio is so muffled that even the ancient VHS rips have unironically superior MP3 sound. Enter the Toei preservation culture. Safe to assume they binned the masters/audio reels, and this remaster was restored from optical audio or some equally shitty source. I slapped the audio from the old 240p rip on the remastered video and synced it to the best of my ability, like I’ve done before for Magical Taruruuto-kun movies, though the VHS audio also had a few dropouts, during which the sound reverts to shitty for a second (I’ve stil...

Raw provider Proxyman Translation Perevodildo Editing Paul Geromini Quality check amicus Lyrics booklet scans, moral support, #1 fan of this OVA Marty Mcflies You’ve seen this one before. DDD rip of proxyman’s LD, encoded by Anonimous, landed in our court. Perevodildo’s Unstalling Brigade was mobilized immediately. Upon perusing the existing subs for this OVA, I’ve concluded that a retranslation is due. The fact that muzu had previously supposedly QCed them for amicus and said “yeah, that’s good to ship” made me feel more like a cuckold than anything she’s ever done to me before. Still, amicus volunteered to QC this new version as well. Paul Geromini edited as usual because he’s run out of things to do. This anime contains imagery, words, and themes that are recommended for children of all ages. All content of this nature reflects the opinion of any individual who assisted with this release and we hope that we helped you, the viewer, to find the way to your lord & saviour Jesus Chr...

Translation Perevodildo Editing Paul Geromini darkcart The project started when Paul found some alleged DVD rip for this on Avistaz. The encoding leaves more questions than answers: why is it 716x372? Why is it forced to display in 2.25:1? Why is it 30 fps? Why is audio AAC? There’s an alternative DVD encode on Rutracker, but it’s even crustier. Needless to say, it was never released on BD or in any form in HD, and it probably never will. It’s a pretty good looking (for 1957) color film, though of course it couldn’t match the scale of “The Bridge over the River Kwai” or “War and Peace” which came out the same year, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it—the whole of this movie is about as good as one episode of Animentary Ketsudan. We’re merely doing our small preservationist part here. Unexpectedly, I found some Japanese subtitles for it on  opensubtitles.com , uploaded in the summer of '25. I’m not sure what’s the deal with those. They are not straight-up whisper transcripts, because ...

Raw provider, encoder, quality checker WOWMD Translation, typesetting Perevodildo Editing Paul Geromini Quality check Muzussawa Marty Mcflies ( LonelyChaser fansubs ) So wowmd bought three copies of the LD for this, unwarped them with his T-shirt press, read through the disk rot with his new fancy short wavelength player, stacked and encoded them. Being the resident professional ChatGPT user, I saw this show for the peak it was, and translated it. Didn’t even look at the kingmenu garbage. Paul and Muzu were willing to be coerced into looking at it too, and Marty wanted to watch it for Toshihiko Seki. The title refers to a Shinkansen line from Tokyo to Osaka that was launched in 1987 with a grand ad campaign. I don’t know how to explain it well, but the ads for it really were bigger than life at the time, and became a cultural phenomenon in itself. The train arrived to Osaka just before midnight, hence the Cinderella association. At the time, it was largely advertised as a ride for love...

’m not on AB, so I can’t tell for sure, but I’m told this rip is by someone called The walked forest, uploaded to nyaa by not tougewolf. The rip is ancient and a fair bit crusty, but I believe it’s the best we’ve got, with the VHS set costing in hundreds of dollars on mercari. We dedicate this release to Muzussawa, who is literally Hikaru from this show.
