Chihayafuru 2 – OVA

Chihayafuru 2
If you haven’t watched the two seasons of Chihayafuru yet, you’re missing out on one of the best sports anime series of the last decade. I only came to it halfway through the first season, but as soon as I watched those first episodes, I was hooked, and now eagerly awaiting a third season so we can continue following the adventures of Chihaya and her karuta crew. This OVA (Saizen’s first involvement with Chihayafuru) was released on DVD back in September and I… stalled it a little >.> But it’s worth watching if you haven’t seen it yet, even if there isn’t actually any karuta in it. It’s the Hanano show throughout and it gives us a bit more of a glimpse into her character, as she’s often overlooked in favour of the karuta freaks who populate the series. Anyway, I enjoyed working on it even if it was at a snail’s pace (:D) and I hope the handful of people who download this do too!

P.S. Oe-senpai = best girl 😉

[Saizen] Space Brothers Planetarium Special [DVD][3308DFE6].mkv_snapshot_12.14_[2014.07.26_19.40.38]
A number of us in Saizen are pretty big fans of Space Brothers, so when we caught wind of a DVD special that had somehow slipped through unsubbed, we jumped at the chance to sub it. This special is an anime-original storyline, focussing on when brothers Mutta and Hibito were young and trekking up a hill every night to get photo evidence of the UFO they saw up there one time. On one such night, they meet a girl around their age called Hikari and together, the three of them spend the summer up on that hilltop, cultivating their combined love for space. There’s some pretty neat trivia in this episode too, so you can learn as you’re being entertained. Space Brothers sure has it all, doesn’t it?

As you’ll guess when you watch the video, this special was originally shown in planetariums around Japan, which must have been an amazing sight, watching everything unfold above your head – but because of this, the port to DVD format has a somewhat unique look to it. So don’t all come rushing to us with complaints about some of the strange angles used in this special :p

Anyway, enjoy. Yay~!

P.S. An extra special thanks to Skr, our man in Japan, for getting his hands on this for us.

So apparently I’m doing this episode’s newspost! This episode of Laughing Salesman is about a chap who wants to get better at golf so he can show up those mean work colleagues of his. But let me tell you, golf isn’t an easy game, not by a long shot! It’s an enjoyable enough walk though (when it’s not raining, which it does a lot in the UK)… Anyway, I digress. Go watch the episode and as an encore, visit our partners-in-crime, Live-Evil!

P.S.

<E_B|Slp18> Finally a sports-related Salesman ep
<E_B|Slp18> Now it is a very Saizen project lol

I expect this episode to get record downloads 😉
