Major Season 1 – 02 720p

December 27, 2015December 27, 2015 AMS 4 Comments

Things keep rolling on today on Day 4 of Saizen’s 13 Days of Christmas with Major Season 1 Episode 2! In the last episode, we were introduced to Goro, his dad Shigeharu, his dad’s friend Shigeno Hideki, his teacher Miss Hoshino, as well as to the tragedy of losing his mother. It looked like Shigeharu’s baseball career is over, but we start out this episode with Goro waking up to this sight! Will Shigeharu actually take Shigeno’s suggestion and attempt to switch over from pitching to batting? Find out the answer in this episode as we explore two friendships that define the Major series in this one!

Kuroko’s Basketball – 40

December 26, 2015November 20, 2016 AMS 2 Comments

Good morning, everyone! How was your Christmas? I just got up and figured I may as well put out the next release in our 13 Days of Christmas with Kuroko’s Basketball – 40 on Blu-Ray for everyone!

The game against Touou rages on as Aomine’s play has Seirin in a desperate situation and sent Kuroko to the bench. How will Seirin respond? What can they possibly do to stop Aomine at this point? Grab this one quick and check it out and I’ll see y’all again tomorrow!

Major Season 1 – 01 720p

December 25, 2015December 25, 2015 AMS 42 Comments

Day 2 of Saizen’s 13 Days of Christmas over here and I’ve got something big for you. I’ve been teasing it a few times over the last couple months, and here it is, Major Season 1 – 01. I’m really excited to be bringing this to everyone as Major was the first show I worked on when I started here at Saizen about 10 years ago now. To say the least, this is a dream project of mine.

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty details of these subs now. The raws we used were the Shiniori-Raws 720p raws that were made from the ts raws when Major Season 1 aired in HD in Japan. I would’ve liked to have had one of our encoders do this straight from the source ts raws, but we couldn’t find them anywhere. If you have access to them, drop us a line. I’d love to talk to you. As far as the scripts themselves go… We have built all the scripts from the ground up. Translations, timing, typesetting, karaokes, are all original. For those who watched our previous releases, I have decided to change the Major styling. I, personally, found that our old styling didn’t work very well at the higher 720p resolutions, and a few of the other project staff members shared that opinion as well, so I felt justified in changing it. It’s 2015 now.

Anyway, I and everyone here at Saizen hope you all have the merriest of Christmas’. We’ll be seeing each other again tomorrow at the very least.

夢の舞台へ駆け上がれ！

It’s baaack! Saizen’s 13 Days of Christmas

Hells 720p & 1080p [Blu-Ray]

December 24, 2015December 24, 2015 AMS 9 Comments

Hello, one and all! We’ve teased it once or twice so far, and it’s with great jolly ol’ joy I get to announce and present you with our first release for Saizen’s 13 Days of Christmas: Hells on Blu-Ray in 720p & 1080p. For those who don’t know, Saizen used to run a “13 Days of Christmas” waaaaaay back in the day. Here’s how it works. Starting Christmas Eve (Dec. 24th) and running through to Epiphany Eve (January 5th), we will be releasing at least one thing every… single… day.

For the first day, it is with the most utmost pleasure we present to you the 2008 feature length movie from Madhouse Studios, Hells. It clocks in at around 1 hour 57 minutes and some change (that’s like 6 tv episodes in one release! #value).

This is a project that started way back in August 2014. The base script (if it can even be called that at this point) was taken from the official Blu-Ray release in Japan. The team completely overhauled the script, typeset almost everything (some of what we did is actually pretty crazy thinking back about it now), retimed it (obviously :p), encoded it, and put it through a very rigorous QC process.

The movie itself is about a girl named Linne Amagane and her adventure in… you can guess where the majority of the movie takes place from the title, lol. Anyway, I don’t really want to spoil it for people, so give it a watch as you wait for good ol’ St. Nick to come through tonight. They play a game of volleyball during it, so… itqualifiesasSaizensportsanimeftw!

And… lastly, here’s the roll call for all of those who lent a hand on this project. Thank you.

Translation Checking & Editing: AMS (you suck, AMS!)
Timing: sangofe (big ups, as always) & ninjacloud (despite not being his cup of tea, he plowed through the first half of the movie. Thank you!)
Typesetting: zegond (amazing work, zeggie-zeg ^^;) & AMS (you suck so hard, AMS!)
Karaoke: Timescar (this may have been the last thing he did for the group) & AMS (Did I mention AMS sucks?)
Encoding: Your_Mom (if you wanna blame someone for the file size, you know who to blame… your mom)
QC: CP (RIP – Never forget), Calyrica (Thank yoouuu in a Hotline Bling voice), konnakude (See! It’s done!), Falsedawn (I hate you and your light novel length QC report)

So enjoy the anime folks and we’ll see you again tomorrow with a big surprise and where we’ll be running toward the stage of your dreams!!! <— Not so subtle massive hint

PS: Oh, one more thing! I thought I’d include a lil’ ol’ poem for y’all to get you in the spirit if you weren’t already, because I’m a literature nerd.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the Zone
Not a connection was stirring, not even my own;
The stockings were hung by the computers with care,
In hopes that Saizen soon would be there;
And little baseball girls were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of the stage of their dreams danc’d in their heads.

Kuroko’s Basketball – 38-39

November 17, 2015November 20, 2016 AMS 9 Comments

Hey, folks. AMS from Team Kuroko over at Saizen here again with the next two episodes of Kuroko’s Basketball for you!

The Winter Cup begins with this double release as Seirin looks to avenge their previous loss to Aomine’s Touou team in the first game of the Winter Cup! We get our first real look at Akashi, the point guard captain of the Generation of Miracles, in 38 as the opening ceremonies of the Winter Cup take place.

In episode 39, the game against Touou starts to get its legs as we get to see some of Kuroko’s growth as well as Hyuga’s. We also get the new opening and ending themes in this one, so I hope you enjoy them. I really like the songs this season, so it was really fun to do these and see KmE work some of his magic. I hope you like them as much as I did.

The release of 39 sees us hit the halfway mark of not only the season, but the series itself as well (There’s a “x.5” episode every season. So while there are only 75 episodes in the series, there are really technically 78 when you include the “x.5” episodes). I want to take a second to personally thank everyone in Saizen who has supported me in getting these episodes out. There’s no way I could’ve done this all on my own. So, thank you (in no particular order), sangofe, muyg, ninjacloud, KmE, zegond, Your_Mom, Eternal_Blizzard, triviper, and Badskater. We couldn’t have gotten here without each and every one of you.

Don’t worry. We aren’t stopping here, folks. We have more coming and on the way.

Enjoy!

Kuroko’s Basketball – 37

November 10, 2015November 20, 2016 AMS 8 Comments

Fiending for more Kuroko? Don’t worry. We got you covered with the next ep of Kuroko’s Basketball on Blu-Ray for you! Episode 37 is now available for your viewing pleasure 😉

With the Winter Cup preliminaries over, we move forward with the story as Seirin takes a few minutes to take a breather at a hot spring before their all-out war with the Generation of Miracles takes place at the Winter Cup! Who will they play next? What sort of shenanigans will they get into at the hot springs (Hm, I wonder :P)? Check this one out to find out.

Lastly, I wanted to take a minute to show you guys something. This is the original frame 31977 of this episode. You will notice a small change I made in the episode while you watch it if you play close attention. 10 internet points for the person who points it out first in the comments section, lol. Anyway, moving on, do you notice anything strange about this frame as it is right now? Hint: Look at how they spell the city names. Yeah, that’s right. They couldn’t even spell the name of a city like Los Angeles correctly… Nevermind the word “skies” or “continental.” You might be wondering why I’m bringing this up, and I’m glad you’re wondering. It means you’re thinking and are involved. I like that. The reason is very simple. If you’ve watched Season 3 already, you’ll notice that they spell Izuki’s name as “Iduki” throughout the season. We won’t be doing that. It’s wrong. I’ll go over why it’s wrong when we get there, but before we get there, I just wanted to point out how unreliable Japanese anime makers are when writing things in English. They can’t even spell a famous city’s name correctly, so keep this in mind when I bring up the issues with “Iduki” in Season 3 🙂

Anyway, rant over. Enjoy the anime folks!
