Perevodildo's ramblings

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.

Translation Perevodildo Editing Collectr Quality check Marty Mcflies The raw used is ancient and terrible, but it’s literally the only one we’ve got. The TV series only saw a limited release on VHS, and it’s impossible to find those tapes at a reasonable price. Two fellow cat-fanciers Marty Mcflies of  LonelyChaser  and Collectr of  Orphan  were also willing to be coerced into checking the subs. Stay tuned for more. Episodes: Michael Appears {マイケル登場}

Raw provider, editor Marty Mcflies ( LonelyChaser-subs ) Encoder tanks404 (720x480 anamorphic 3:4, 59.940 fps) Translator, typesetter Perevodildo What you’re seeing here is Kakkun Cafe, a 1984 Movie, made as an attempt to capitalize on the sensational  Lockheed Scandal , still fresh in people’s minds, and with Japan’s ex-Prime Minister ( Kakuei Tanaka , the titular “Kakkun”) indited and imprisoned. Just like with Mister Giants before, Marty had once again bought and captured (via Kineko) the VHS tape for it for some reason, but ended up sending the raw to me the because he can’t be arsed to fansub it himself. Safe to assume that here he also found the LP for it first, and simply liked it that much (to be fair, a lot of the songs here are real bops). Marty didn’t want to be associated with this release, though, so he asked me to do it under my own label. Also much like with Mister Giants, this movie is largely biographic and centered on one person you’ve never heard about,...
