[Blasphemboys] The Land of Anger / Ikari no Daichi / 怒りの大地 [WEB-DL 480p, AVC, AAC] (Gakken Anime)

RAW acquisition, encoding: WOWmd Translation: Perevodildo Editing: Paul Geromini Quality checking: True Noobow Gamer You won’t find this show in any database or anime list website. That’s because it’s a “Gakken Anime” - an educational anime that was only distributed to schools and other government institutions in a limited number of copies. For that reason, the Gakken shows are effectively extinct now - very few were in circulation and barely anything of it was preserved.  Watch me carefully avoid saying “lost media.”  Even this video was miraculously found by WOWmd on the  Science Film Museum site  of all places. “Science Film Museum” is also what the watermark on this video source says.

WOWmd started the project by buying and domesdaying an LD; a few months later I carved out a free minute, TLCed it, added all the songs and typesetting, translated the theatrical trailer that comes at the end of the LD; Eternal Blizzard answered my call for QCers at GJM, WOWmd offered to QC himself as well. So, this show now has subs by DOMO, by Kingmenu, and by Perevodildo. Truly, the holy trinity of ESL. TL notes: The quotation marks in the title are intentional: the manga’s original title...
