Ninku 54-55 END

Well, it’s been a long time coming, but after almost 7 years since we began subtitling Ninku from where our predecessors in Dattebayo fansubs left off, we have reached the end of the road and completed this one at long last. This has been an undertaking over 16 years in the making since Rice-Box released their one-shot of episode 1 back in 2004.

I was gonna write a long history post about Ninku’s fansubbing situation throughout the years, but I’ll leave it to someone more experienced than me to write that. So without further ado, here’s the list of credits of everyone who worked on this one over the years from here and over at Soldado-Subs.

With that being said, we do have just one more thing left to do, and that will be the Drama CD, which will be released with the final definitive batch once I am done going over the past episodes. Thank you all for sticking through with us over the years, it’s pretty surreal to say this project is done (batching aside), but you know what I mean. Enjoy these last two episodes and some parting words and/or funny quotes from the core team.

%bananadoyouwanna: When I first offered to quality check I was extremely motivated to get this done and then years passed… Ahem… Nevertheless, It was a fun show to work on!

@Eternal_Blizzard: It was a lot of work, but working with such a fine group of folks made this ride all the worthwhile. I’ll see what the future holds for me and how much I have left in the tank to keep on subbing.

%Collectr: I’m gonna take a break for a while. Ninku rots my brain.

@convexity: fuusuke’s just dumb. I dunno what to say

Beast Saga – Seasons 1&2

Way back in 2013, when we were still silly enough to do airing shows, the Ruri-Saizen joint team found this Saturday morning cartoon and subbed it from beginning to end. Or to the end of what we’re dubbing “Season 1”, because it got yanked from the schedule before the ongoing storylines had reached their natural end point. We were collectively left with a lot of questions: What were the priests up to? Why did they bring Golder back from the dead? Why have we never found out who Ogre’s mom is?

As a group, we’d always been aware that the series did finish up and answer most of these questions with a further seven full-length episodes (what we’re now calling “Season 2”) but getting our hands on the raws to actually sub them was a lot harder than we thought. So we forgot about the beasts for a while and moved on to other things. That is, until we found all the episodes in 1080p goodness, including the seven we’d never seen. So naturally, the old team decided we had to sub them in order to finally put this anime to bed.

Now, the first thing you’ll notice, all you Captain Eagle-eyed viewers, is that there are only 26 episodes in this torrent, when there were 38 in the original run of Beast Saga. And you’d be correct: for some reason, the source we used whacked two episodes together to make one 24-minute episode, meaning 1-38 became 1-19, with the new episodes getting numbered 20-26. Confusing, I know, but that’s why I’ve split this torrent into seasons so that if you only want to watch the new stuff, you can just select the Season 2 folder for download. Though I personally recommend downloading Season 1 and giving it a rewatch because we’ve been through every episode with a fine toothcomb and polished up the subs, so these scripts will be the best version out there.

Anyway, enough blather. Go watch some anthropomorphic animals whaling on each other already!

Be-Bop High School Kaizokuban – 01

Yo.

This is the first episode of Be-Bop High School Kaizokuban. It’s a set of three episodes, all containing short stories of the thugs we know from Be-Bop High School.

Production value on these episodes are lower than that of the main series, so don’t have too high expectations. 😛

And don’t forget to visit Hokuto no Gun.

Update:
Small hick-up earlier this week. Changed a few things, mainly the titles. So this essentially is a v2.
