Perevodildo's ramblings

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...
