H2 – 01

Saizen 56 Comments

H2-01
Every once in a while, we at Saizen look at our current workloads and say to ourselves, “We’re not stalling subbing enough series.” Luckily, a few months ago, Sigh Subs approached us with a baseball anime called H2 that looked like the perfect series to stall sub. H2 follows the fortunes (or misfortunes might be more apt) of former middle school baseball pitcher, Hiro, as he joins a new high school and embarks on finding a new hobby to take his mind off the fact he can’t play baseball. And if that hasn’t tickled your fancy, maybe the fact that this is an Adachi Mitsuru show might. Yes, we’re doing another Adachi show – and if this keeps up, we might have to change our group name to AdachiZen >.>

But for the time being, let Saizen and Sigh Subs entertain you with the first episode of H2:
This release requires the latest CCCP codec pack installed. You can get it through the link to the left of the torrent link below.

EDIT: Excuse my terrible manners for not mentioning this at the time of release (I blame the massive stall), but thanks to CentralAnime who kindly allowed us to use their DVD source even though they were too far along with their releases to consider jointing with us. Make sure to thank these noble gentlemen (and gentlewomen?) when you’re next in their neck of the woods. 😀

Additional Translation Information: Because this series is circa 1995, there are a few cultural points we felt relevant to the understanding of certain lines. We have added the information with the relevant timestamp below.

09:36 “Hoshino” refers to the legendary “giant killer” Senichi Hoshino who played baseball from 1969 to 1982 for the Chunichi Dragons. He has since gone on to be one of the Central League’s most well-known managers.

20:55 “Hayashiya” is either a reference to Hayashiya Sanpei IX who was a voice actor on previous Adachi adaptations, Touch and Hiatari Ryoukou! (I’m guessing the voice characters might be quite similar in a shattering-the-fourth-wall kinda way), or it’s a reference to his father, the rakugo comedian, Hayashiya Sanpei I, who apparently used similar phrases as Kine uses to open his jokes. Take your pick on that one 😀

Attack on Titan – 01 (Dropped)

And the slumbering behemoth known as Saizen awakens from its slumber and sets off on a frenzied rampage across the modern fansubbing landscape (Translation: We’ve picked up a spring season show!). So we present to you our newest offering, Attack on Titan, which is a visual feast of stunning scenery and gory bloodlust. In short, we’re jumping on the bandwagon here (in case you hadn’t noticed) but giants battering down walls and stomping on little tiny humans was too good to pass up on.

How far we’ll get into this series, we’re not actually sure. With the way streaming rules all these days, we were pretty surprised this was overlooked – but we’ve heard rumblings from the Funimation camp suggesting that they may have already bought the license. If this does turn out to be our one and only release of this series, please at least bask in the glory of the first episode as subbed by Saizen (and check out our nifty kara too!).

Looks like Funimation and Crunchyroll have finally announced their license and they’re starting their simulcasts on Sunday, apparently. We’ve released this episode as we were already pretty much done when the announcement was made, but sadly, this will be our one and only release. Thanks to everyone who got really hyped up about this, only to fall at the first hurdle, and a special thanks to triviper for putting in so much time to add all the bells and whistles that would have made for a great subbed series. Sadly, the attack ends here when we’ve barely begun.
