Perevodildo's ramblings

Did Jeremy no Ki with existing decent Russian subs beforehand for sorcery, but then I woke up on the evening of 23.12.2023 and realized I want a Christmas OVA for myself too, so picked up the shortest thing I could find, lol.  Get it on nyaa. Merry Christmas! 

Get it on nyaa.  Dedicated to Daisaku Ikeda. Based on Glenn's fansub from 2018. WOWmd recently acquired and captured a new VHS which was considerably less garbage than previous rip from ARR. This even absolutely could not have avoided me, a Daisaku Ikeda nerd, so after receiving Glenn's consent, I embarked on the quest of retiming and refining this sub. Notice how I didn't say unfucking because Glenn's script was decent enough as it is, with only half of the lines being unsatisfactory for me. That is not to say it didn't have some pretty factual slip-ups, like Russians invading Manchukuo in 1942, which Glenn already pointed out himself.  Subs only | AniDB  

Get it on nyaa.  Collectr's post  which basically sums it up so that I have nothing more to add, even though I enjoyed working on this.  No, there actually is an interesting detail. This OVA contains a mention of some kissaten/coffee shop called "Doramu" which we'd probably never figure out if not for my previous experience of subbing Pachislo Kizoku Gin, where there was also a kissaten named Doramu, but at least they bothered to spell it out in kanji (though, it still doesn't make much sense): 銅羅夢. I don't know if it's some homage or a tradition in anime production, but the trend is definitely there. After all, Once is chance, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern. Let me know if you know the answer to this Kissaten Doramu riddle.  Subs Only 

In a rare good month for perevodildo-fansubs, another joint release I'm extremely proud of. Song of Raiyantsuuri stands proudly as probably one of the best shows I translated, on par with Futari no Lotte and Ningen Kakumei.  Nyaa | Collectr's post | AniDB |  Subs only  

Collectr's Blog: Inochi no Chikyuu: Dioxin no Natsu : Here's another project that has been stuck in limbo for a very long time: the 2001 movie Inochi no Chikyuu: Dioxin no Natsu ( Life on E...  Nothing much to add on this one. Felt peculiar translation-checking the script after another Russian team for the first time. Surprisingly, though, it wasn't half-bad. Gotta go pay them tribute someday. Alas, as far as I know, the team was disbanded around 2013 or so.  Another funny story is that this movie was an absolute slog for NorainuG when he tried to TLC it, for some reason. I didn't find neither the movie completely awful nor the translation completely hopeless and so was done with it in 4 days or so. That said, though, it's another concentrated midness so I wouldn't try to shill it as something worth your time.  Nyaa | Subs only | DDL 

Nyaa | DDL (movie only) | Subs only  |  AniDB   Originally conceived as an excuse to make a nyaa shitpost using a funny group tag, this project soon deteriorated into something nobody saw coming, and half of the people contributing their names' first letters to said funny tag never showed up. But I won't get ahead of my first entry in the detailed journal of events leading to that:  Baribari brought up in the suggestions channel. Some jump on-board for the fun of it, including some who are made to. Trying to sneak my way into the [DILDOs] tag as well.  Spent 30 minutes explaining to Marty why the OVA needs to be done first. Marty finally gets his VHS delivered and captured. Here goes nothing.  Character from Kansai makes an appearance. Playing Russian roulette after every line. Also, man, this girl is literally TougeWolf. My head hurts, but at least it's over and not my problem anymore. The next day, an SDBD with both the OVAs and the Movie on it ...

Here's the original  Collectr's blog post about Genji Part 1 . My favorite part is  You still following this? I lost the thread a long time ago.  This makes for my first completed joint project with Orphan. Almost unbelievable how I was literally brought up on their subs, with Kasei Yakyoku being one of my first ever translations from English, and now I'm returning the favor with my own hands. What a time to be alive.  The show is a clusterfuck indeed, here's my version of the guide to characters that no one but me ever gonna read:  "Heike (平家) refers to the Taira (平), hei being the on'yomi reading of the first kanji and "ke" (家) means family. Note that in the title of the Genpei War, "hei" is in this combination read as "pei" and the "gen" (源) is the first kanji used in the Minamoto (also known as "Genji" which is also pronounced using on'yomi, for example as in The Tale of Genji) clan's name." so ...
