Perevodildo's ramblings

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 ...

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...

Contribution Name RAW PPP-Raw LD rip Translation & TS Perevodildo Quality check MartyMcFlies ( LonelyChaser Fansubs ) Includes the main feature and the grueling “making of” bonus, all fully translated. I am sad to inform you that there’s a good reason why this special remained untranslated for so long. Shows like this make me actually appreciate Haikara-san more. Imagine every irritating, nonsensical, hackneyed element of every Shoujo, you’ve seen, then suck out what little originality it had, water it down, and squeeze it all together into a mawkish bubblegum-like feature-length film—and you’ll end up with Seito Shokun. It is mindboggling to me that the Japanese were for some reason hooked up on this series for over 42 years. Most of the Shoujo manga I’ve read is boring but pretty, most of the Shoujo shows I’ve seen are annoying but light; in comparison, Seito Shokun is straight-up cancer, devoid of any of the mentioned redeeming qualities, and the drawing in all of its sequels is...
