Kuroko’s Basketball – 53-54


Hey, everyone. It’s been a while. Here are the next two episodes of Kuroko’s Basketball on Blu-Ray for your viewing pleasure. Kise’s showdown with Haizaki reaches its conclusion in the first episode, and, in the next, Kagami wakes up in the morning to take on the winner only to find himself in the situation above. We also get our first in-game action with Akashi in this one as Midorima and his Shutoku team face-off against Rakuzan in the first Winter Cup semifinal game. Lots going on in these 2 eps, so as always…

Enjoy!

P.S.  Good news! We got the next 4 volumes on Blu-Ray (even though they only became available 2 days after I bought 3 of them >_>), so we’ll probably be picking up steam with Kuroko over the next couple months. Also, the Last Game movie debuted in Japan last Saturday, and we’re looking for a raw. Let us know if you find one.

P.S.S. Bad news/Good News. Major is on hiatus as we work out a potential new raw situation that’s rather fluid right now. I’ll still try to translate the next couple scripts and frame the episodes, but we won’t be timing or typesetting anything until we work out the raw situation (which is potentially a very good thing).

Kuroko’s Basketball – Would You Like to Chat OVA [Blu-Ray]


And a great big Merry Christmas to one and all out there as another year winds down. Here’s the Kuroko Season 2 Fan Disc OVA, “Would You Like to Chat,” otherwise known as “oshaberi demo shimasen ka” in Japanese. We will be doing the extras on this disc like we did around this time last year with the Season 1 Fan Disc.

Once again, kokujin-kun translated the Fan Disc (Big thanks!), sangofe timed, Your_Mom gave you a gift taking care of the encoding, and I did whatever else 😉

I hope everyone’s having a nice Christmas and I might be back with some more stuff later today… you never know… Ho ho ho!

Enjoy!

Mitsuwano (Three Rings)

mitsuwano
We here at Saizen (along with our best buds, Ruri) present a bit of a change of pace from our usual sports-heavy release schedule to bring you Mitsuwano (Three Rings), a one-shot slice of life story about Mai, Midori, and Riko – three girls who are training to be maiko, which are considered to be apprentice geiko (the Kyoto equivalent of geisha). We hope you enjoy this brief glimpse into a section of Japanese culture that’s otherwise glossed over in anime, with a side helping of angst as the girls find out that the world of the geiko is just as competitive as any other.

And a few cultural notes to help you understand some of the finer points of the geiko world: Girls training to be maiko and geiko live in an okiya (a boarding house) run by a proprietress with the title “okaa-san” (Lit: “Mother”), which is a little confusing in this anime because the Mother of this particular boarding house is Riko’s biological grandmother. But the okiya is a tight-knit, familial environment in general, meaning that being related doesn’t elevate you above your “sisters and you are expected to perform the same chores, such as preparing meals, doing the laundry, and cleaning the boarding house. It’s also important to note that the anime takes place in Kyoto, which has its own dialect characterized by its politeness and modesty, to the point where it’s viewed as boorish for a native of Kyoto to use standard phrases instead of their Kyoto equivalents. This polite streak extends as far as calling the stove “Mr. Stove”, so if you’re wondering why everyone’s talking like they’re from a forgotten age, that’s why.

So without further ado, step into the colorful world of the geiko and the apprentices working their way up the chain to be seen as true daughters of Kyoto!
