Kuroko’s Basketball 05 [Blu-Ray][1080p] and [720p]

Hey everyone, AMS here.  I know it’s not Friday but we had this ready so I thought we’d just get it out as quick as we could.  In this episode, we see the game with Kaijo come to an end and the aftermath of it.  Also, though he made a short appearance in the last episode, we get our first real look at the next member of the Generation of Miracles, Midorima.  A bunch of other things happen in this episode too, so grab it and check it out!

Lastly, I have a kind of translation note on this episode as to the way our subs choose to translate the Japanese idiom Midorima uses in this episode. The idiom in Japanese is “人事を尽くして天命を待つ”.  In our version of the subtitles for this episode I chose to translate this idiom as “do everything you can and God will do the rest.”  It is a quite literal translation of the idiom.  Generally speaking, this idiom is translated as “Man proposes, God deposes,” but there is an issue with this translation that would have come up if I had chosen to use it.  To understand the problem though, I need to explain the difference between the Japanese idiom and the English idiom here as they do not exactly match up 1:1.  The Japanese version of this idiom carries the thought that you need to do everything you can first before God will choose your side in something and thus you have a bit of control over whether you succeed or not based on your effort.  The English idiom that is generally used for this Japanese idiom does not carry this thought in it whatsoever and thus I felt we would have definitely lost a part of Midorima’s character if we had chosen to use the English idiom.  After Midorima uses this idiom in the episode he then goes on to explain to Kise that he is chosen because he always does everything he can.  He particularly uses it and is referring to the part of the idiom that is different and thus I felt that we had no choice but to translate that idiom quite literally.  On top of that, Midorima throughout the show will continue to use the first part of this idiom, “人事を尽くして,” as to why he will win.  It is quite a part of his character.  If people have a problem with this, feel free to extract and edit your subtitles file.

Kuroko’s Basketball Bloopers Season 1, Volume 1 [Blu-Ray][1080p] & [720p]

bloopers vol1

Hey everyone, AMS here.  It’s another Friday and while we don’t have episode 5 of Kuroko’s Basketball quite ready for you yet, we managed to get the first volume of bloopers done for you.

For those of you who don’t know what this is, allow me to inform you.  On each disc for “Season 1” of Kuroko’s basketball, there were a couple short “blooper” scenes made from the episodes on its corresponding disc that are kind of funny.  Think of them as outtakes or “what ifs”.  They are supposed to be funny.  This one is from Volume 1 and covers episodes 1 and 2.  Anyway, I hope you like them, and we’ll be releasing these as we go along. Enjoy!

So here’s another Friday and here’s another episode of Kuroko’s Basketball on Blu-Ray for all you fans out there.  In this episode, the game between Kaijo and Seirin rages on with Kagami convinced that Kuroko is the key to defeating Kise.  Is that truly the case?  Is Kuroko all they will need to come out on top?  If you haven’t seen it, grab it quick and find out!  And, if you have seen it, grab it anyway because it looks way better redone in Blu-Ray quality 😉

Oh, did you think Saizen was done for the day with our release of the Attack on Titan OAD?  Au contraire, mon frère.  Not only did we release an OAD based off the 2nd highest selling manga in Japan last year, but here’s episode 3 on Blu-Ray of the 3rd highest selling manga in Japan last year.  Enjoy.

This episode sees us start the game between Seirin and Kaijo.  Exciting things are bound to happen, but who’s this guy jump kicking Kise in the head from behind and why is he doing it?

Hey everyone, AMS here. Happy Friday!!! We have the next ep of Kuroko’s Basketball on Blu-Ray here for you if you want to check it out. We’ve included 2 subtitle tracks in this episode due to the writing inside the magazine at around the 16 minute mark. KmE made some great TS for us there, but the subtitle file ended up being around 30MB because of it and it crashed most of our players trying to view it. So for those who want to see his great TS, please switch to subtitle track 2. For everyone else, we’ve included a notebox instead that translates what’s written in the magazine.

Other than that, this episode sees us move on a little with the story and the first member of the Generation of Miracles reveals themself. Will Kagami be up to the task or will he fail in classic Shonen style and have his revenge later? Gee, I wonder 😛  Enjoy, folks!

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy everyone, it’s been a while. I’ve been away from fansubbing for a long while, but sangofe finally talked me into coming back. I had talked to him about a year ago about doing Kuroko’s Basketball on blu-ray and we had already gotten the first 2 volumes, so I decided this would be the best place for me to start.

So, for the episode here, we based our scripts off the crunchyroll scripts here, sangofe retimed them to the blu rays, and I translation checked and edited their script. I also translated the songs as well as all the signs you see typeset into the episode. Eternal Blizzard got the k-timing done (Man, that part in the ending is/was ridiculous o_O). KmE then provided the Karaoke effects, and him and zegond did the typesetting. As far as encoding goes, it was done by our secretive member, Your Mom. Lastly, but not leastly, Quality Control was taken care of by muyg and sangofe. Thanks to everyone who helped out on getting this episode done. We’re going to try to get you the entire first season over the next few months, so I hope you’ll join us and enjoy the ride!

Oh, a couple more things I forgot to mention. We have also provided a pdf in the mkv that you will need to extract to view. I have provided full translations for the Japanese credits as well as for the first two songs, so please take a look at it if you’re interested.

Also, we can always use donations to pick up some more blu-rays, so please donate if you feel the inclination to.

 

And for all the fans out there, bonus points for anyone who can tell me whose “Gym” can be seen in the episode 😉
