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.

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,...

Raw provider ProxyMan Translation R1 DVD (OVA 1)[+ Perevo’s TLC], Perevodildo (Gaiden) Quality check Gervaise Macquart, Collectr (OVA 1), Paul Geromini (Gaiden) The reason we’re doing this is because ProxyMan shared with us his domesday rips of LDs for these shows, which surpass the existing DVDs in quality. This torrent includes the original 1991 OVA and the 1995 sequel, but not the 1998 “ Dragon Knight 4 (Wheel of Time) ” OVA, since ProxyMan doesn’t own the LD for it  yet . For OVA 1, the subtitles and and dub are taken from the DVD rip. The official translation was pretty solid, so I worked from that, retimed and translation-checked it; for the dub, I set the delay to 6.9 seconds in the mkv file properties to match it to the LD video. I also included Ukrainian and Russian subs. For OVA 2 (Gaiden), I found the translation quality in M74 release (not on nyaa) unsatisfactory, so this is a fresh new translation from Japanese. It seems, Gaiden was never licensed so there’s no du...

RAW https://nyaa.si/view/871928 Translation Perevodildo Quality check None Video used is Ukyuu’s 2014 rip from  this release . Song lyrics are cribbed from redbook’s scan of his LP, except for one insert that’s not in there. Some alternative titles for the show adapt “kurabbu karuucha” as “club culture,” but I have no idea where that came from, as the explanation Shigeru gives in the show is that “it means ‘cockroach’ in Portuguese,” which has been confirmed by our resident Brazilian girl, though she noted that it’s a rather uncommon word. The JP wiki, however, says that it was derived from the German word for “cockroach” which seems like bullshit. I wasn’t reading manga attentively enough to spot the exact moment where they came up with that name, so I guess we’ll never know for sure. At least the “Pelican Road” part of the title is more straighforward and is derived from the name of “Pelican Express” delivery service in the show. The OVA adapts the first 5 chapters of the source ...

Raw acquisition, editing Paul Geromini Encoding Anonymous Translation, typesetting Perevodildo Translation check sotoo On this perfectly ordinary day of a perfectly ordinary month, at the perfectly random UTC time, we present to you NHK’s “Shonen Drama Series: They Were Eleven.” I don’t know why we did this. I don’t know what to say about it either, the short version is “this movie is mid and the RAW is worse. Watch the anime instead.” The long version is that Paul saw a DVD for this on some auction, saw that it doesn’t have any rips yet, and bought it, god knows why. It lingered on his hard drive for some months, until I became so desperate for something to do I agreed to translate it. Sotoo then saw we’re working on it and expressed interest, since the NHK Shounen Drama shows are somehow 𝒂𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 to him (although I am personally too philistine to call a pile of garbage “aesthetic”). So there you have it. The first encoder we sent it to had this to say about the video: This ...

This is a special one. The movie itself is quite good and essentially “Papa Mama Bye Bye” done right. It’s one of the better documentaries we’ve done. But it’s also why the show itself is quite technical in nature and requires a degree of knowledge about Japan’s geography to keep you engaged while the countless events, occurring in various parts of the country, are hurled at you just to leave no impact because they’re but an empty sound to someone unfamiliar with the area. For that reason, the notorious “TL notes” here go beyond what you’d usually expect to help you understand the geography of events. Still, if you think yourself above that and just want to experience it “as-is,”  there’s an alternative, “Noteless” subtitles track. Now comes the sad part. The current rip is eye cancer-inducing, the video is a 374p reencode of a youtube upload of someone’s horrendous rip of their VHS recording of the movie, made while it aired on TV Tokyo (yep, not even a rip of the retail tape, whi...

Episode 6 notes: Vessel for manifestation of Buddha's true self  - actually, "発迹顕本" is another heavily loaded concept from Buddhism. Fully expanded, it amounts to something like "Casting off the transient body and revealing the true self of the original Buddha." The meaning of this passage is that Buddha lives in anyone, and through piety anyone is able to reveal traces of Buddha in himself - anytime, anywhere, even with a mortal body. More  here .            Another context-heavy scene. At least the show made an effort to make it clear what's going on, and I resounded that effort without resorting to \an8 TL notes. The guy here refers to the word 正しい / tadashi = correct, hence he wants to name the magazine "正教 / seikyo" = orthodox (literally "correct faith"). Toda, however, mistakes it for another "seikyo," namely "聖教 / seikyo" = Sacred Teachings (literally "saint faith"). And that's how they end up nami...

Yep. Rescuing another mid.  I promise these two will scissor after episode 146. Episodes: I hate St. Clare’s! {クレア学院って大嫌い} Video is taken from that recording of the 2013 rerun of this show. That rerun is the only source of Japanese audio we have for this show—it was never reissued on DVD, let alone better home media—and that audio, all things considered, is pretty shitty: muffled and all, but it is what it is. The video is not great either. A viable alternative would’ve been taking the video from the German DVD of the show (ripped on U2), or one of the other European releases, but that would require someone to encode, then color correct, THEN sync the audio for it, provided, the video itself is not re-edited in the first place, and that is simply out of the realm of possibility for a mid forgotten show like this one. Yes, for all its perceived yuri potential, this show isn’t worth Futari no Lotte’s toe. Usually, “Ochame na Futago” would mean “playful / mischievous tw...

WOWmd captured Batty’s LD with his domesday duplicator and shared the video with me, knowing that it’ll end up on my desk anyway, much like most of his recent captures. This show was previously only available through the 2007 hardsubs. The translation in that was alright, so I OCRed them, translation-checked a few boobs, retimed and typeset. Marty Mcflies and  Imatu  from LonelyChaser Fansubs also additionally quality-checked since Marty owns an LP with this show’s soundtrack, and Muzussawa from DildoChaser Fansubs QCed because I tricked her into it.
