Requests

(Previously known as future projects, but since most of those were fulfilled, the page was no longer relevant)


First off, I don't take RyzakiT-style "throwing shit at the wall" blind requests. I only dabble in stuff that seems interesting or easy to sub to me personally. My criteria are rather low: 
  • The show must not have an official HD-remaster. Those are in immediate danger of being licensed at all times. 
  • Even if the show only has a DVD master, it has to be fairly obscure/out of the way/unsellable/unpopular, since the licensors still consider those a fair ball. Case in point: Ace wo Nerae OVAs. 
  • Naturally, shows made by long-defunct companies are exempted from this rule, since obtaining licensing rights for those should be impossible, if I'm not mistaken.
  • If you want me to do your requested show for free, it will need to fulfill all of the above requirements, have a decent video source (not ARR-tier), and you'll have to help on it yourself (editing, QC, TLC, typesetting). Only then I might consider it.
  • You can also commission me directly and bypass all the aforementioned requirements, via Boosty. Just make sure to contact me first to discuss the pricing. 
Shows that I currently consider of interest myself, but can't start for this or that reason:
  1. Souya Monogatari—interesting premises, but nothing spectacular. The existing raw is also terrible. 
  2. Totsugeki! Pappara Tai—simply because I want to finish it.
  3. Shiawase no Katachi—while blasting through the well of PPP's raws that no one ever touched, I eventually got to this one as well, but two sketches in, I realized that this show is a literal pun hell—90% of the jokes are centered on language puns, plays on words, and other things that simply don't translate well. That translation would've made very little sense and wouldn't be nearly as entertaining as the original is intended to be. Provided I would even figure out what the joke is (and even that is not a given), I would still be royally screwed trying to adapt it.
This page serves as a convenient outlet for me to ignore. If you want to be updated about the projects in works in real time, consider monitoring my discord server.

  3. I would like to suggest the 1988 anime show F-エフ as deserving to be subbed.

    1. Hard no. From working on the movie, I know that the characters are godugly and the story is repetitive and dull. That's even before I mention its gargantuan size.

  6. Maybe you could give Sasuga No Sarutobi a chance?

    1. Looks mid and the staff is nothing promising either. But to be fair, I haven't seen it either, so who knows.

    2. "Although it hasn’t been remembered to the same degree, Sasuga no Sarutobi is, alongside Urusei Yatsura, among the most important anime series of the early 80s. Like its more famous contemporary, Sarutobi was a long-running, episodic comedy which would set the tone for the entire decade’s animation philosophy thanks to the extensive contributions of studios such as Anime R, Giants and Animaru-Ya." [animetudes]

      At least in this regard, it's a pity that Sasuga No Sarutobi has got no subtitles so far.

    1. Sure, just give me a moment to produce the raws for this and that other thing out of thin air or something.

  10. Do you have Wagahai wa Neko de Aru on the radar? If only there would exist a better quality version?!

    ReplyDelete
  11. What about Kaze wo Nuke!, when finally a high-quality version appeared?

    1. This "high-quality version" has been around for five years. (https://nyaa.si/view/1257490)

  12. One intriguing phenomenon is that Fujiko F. Fujio's SF Short Theater OVA has so far been completely ignored by the fansubbing community.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Since you finished Mahjong Hishouden: Naki no Ryuu in such high spirits, you may want to take on another long neglected GAINAX production, the 1989 OVA Beat Shot!!

  14. How about Tiger Mask? Saw it on your MAL that you liked it and you're competent enough (unlike the other groups that 'worked' on it)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Lemon Angel (YJ Ban) is a nice-looking anime which has fallen through the cracks of the fansubbing community so far.

    1. Doesn't matter if your comment has inline links, there'd always be a ton of better stuff for me to do if there are no good raws for your suggested title. What I sub is decided by WOWmd and other raw providers, not me.

      Delete
    2. Incidentally, the available raws are as good as everything else I have seen from WOWmd and others.

  16. Any chance for Tobe! Isami, many anime legends have worked on this.
