Happy Birthday, kokujin-kun! Best wishes from Azu-nyan and everyone in Saizen!
I hope I can do those release posts for many years ahead! It’s a pure joy to select the cuties for you 😉
Our dear friend and translator/translation checker of several shows, inlcuding Baby and me, Captain Tsubasa, plus extra help here and there, is getting married today, on the 15th!
We in Saizen hope you stay happy and healthy for the rest of your life together with your husband, Onibaba!
Congratulations from us all!
Our own Luurah has left his playful youth behind and turned 40 today. I now officially declare him being “ossan.” 😛
I wish him a lot of quality checkers for our projects and getting hugged by a blue-haired girl!
(I suspect we need to ask zegond to dye her hair blue).
I also wish him loads of robots for his birthday and that he will never stop loving them! 😀
Can I please have a moment of everyone’s attention.
Today is a sad day for everyone in Saizen, as our friend and fellow fansubber CP passed away. CP had been struggling with bladder cancer since March this year. In August he got worse, and unfortunately isn’t with us anymore as of today.
I think everyone who had the opportunity to work with CP can agree that he was a person who always did his best to help out any way he could. Without CP there likely wouldn’t be any Miyuki, nor Yawara, having payed for all the DVDs and BDs, as well as helping out in the fansub process. Not only on these couple of series, however, but pretty much across all projects in Saizen, Live-Evil, and Orphan.
I didn’t know “CP” in person, but from my experience, having hung out with him on IRC for a few years, I could tell he was a really nice person, and always appeared to me as happy and optimistic. At least he got to make his trip to Japan last year that he really looked forward to.
CP will truly be missed. I wish I had something more to write, but I’ll just end by saying that both CP and his family will be in our thoughts. 🙁
Rest in peace, CP!
Happy Birthday, kokujin-kun!
