Ongoing Projects

Major Season 1 – 01 720p

December 25, 2015December 25, 2015 AMS 42 Comments

Day 2 of Saizen’s 13 Days of Christmas over here and I’ve got something big for you. I’ve been teasing it a few times over the last couple months, and here it is, Major Season 1 – 01. I’m really excited to be bringing this to everyone as Major was the first show I worked on when I started here at Saizen about 10 years ago now. To say the least, this is a dream project of mine.

Let’s get down to the nitty gritty details of these subs now. The raws we used were the Shiniori-Raws 720p raws that were made from the ts raws when Major Season 1 aired in HD in Japan. I would’ve liked to have had one of our encoders do this straight from the source ts raws, but we couldn’t find them anywhere. If you have access to them, drop us a line. I’d love to talk to you. As far as the scripts themselves go… We have built all the scripts from the ground up. Translations, timing, typesetting, karaokes, are all original. For those who watched our previous releases, I have decided to change the Major styling. I, personally, found that our old styling didn’t work very well at the higher 720p resolutions, and a few of the other project staff members shared that opinion as well, so I felt justified in changing it. It’s 2015 now.

Anyway, I and everyone here at Saizen hope you all have the merriest of Christmas’. We’ll be seeing each other again tomorrow at the very least.

Yo!

So it’s December already and Christmas is just around the corner. Saizen may have been known for its Christmas releasing sprees… but whether or not there’s a release spree incoming, we decided we couldn’t keep this one away from you. 😛

Hope you’ll enjoy it and that there’s more in store. ^^

Also, don’t forget to visit Live-eviL!

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! 😀

Kuroko’s Basketball – 38-39

November 17, 2015November 20, 2016 AMS 9 Comments

Hey, folks. AMS from Team Kuroko over at Saizen here again with the next two episodes of Kuroko’s Basketball for you!

The Winter Cup begins with this double release as Seirin looks to avenge their previous loss to Aomine’s Touou team in the first game of the Winter Cup! We get our first real look at Akashi, the point guard captain of the Generation of Miracles, in 38 as the opening ceremonies of the Winter Cup take place.

In episode 39, the game against Touou starts to get its legs as we get to see some of Kuroko’s growth as well as Hyuga’s. We also get the new opening and ending themes in this one, so I hope you enjoy them. I really like the songs this season, so it was really fun to do these and see KmE work some of his magic. I hope you like them as much as I did.

The release of 39 sees us hit the halfway mark of not only the season, but the series itself as well (There’s a “x.5” episode every season. So while there are only 75 episodes in the series, there are really technically 78 when you include the “x.5” episodes). I want to take a second to personally thank everyone in Saizen who has supported me in getting these episodes out. There’s no way I could’ve done this all on my own. So, thank you (in no particular order), sangofe, muyg, ninjacloud, KmE, zegond, Your_Mom, Eternal_Blizzard, triviper, and Badskater. We couldn’t have gotten here without each and every one of you.

Don’t worry. We aren’t stopping here, folks. We have more coming and on the way.

Enjoy!

Magnerobo Ga-Keen – 00-03

Sorry for the lengthy delay, but these four synthetic beasts kept eating all our QCers. It should be okay now… hopefully…

PS. We’re now using a different source for our encodes, hence there aren’t any patch files.
Thanks for the guys who tried so hard in providing us these raws.

Kuroko’s Basketball – 37

November 10, 2015November 20, 2016 AMS 8 Comments

Fiending for more Kuroko? Don’t worry. We got you covered with the next ep of Kuroko’s Basketball on Blu-Ray for you! Episode 37 is now available for your viewing pleasure 😉

With the Winter Cup preliminaries over, we move forward with the story as Seirin takes a few minutes to take a breather at a hot spring before their all-out war with the Generation of Miracles takes place at the Winter Cup! Who will they play next? What sort of shenanigans will they get into at the hot springs (Hm, I wonder :P)? Check this one out to find out.

Lastly, I wanted to take a minute to show you guys something. This is the original frame 31977 of this episode. You will notice a small change I made in the episode while you watch it if you play close attention. 10 internet points for the person who points it out first in the comments section, lol. Anyway, moving on, do you notice anything strange about this frame as it is right now? Hint: Look at how they spell the city names. Yeah, that’s right. They couldn’t even spell the name of a city like Los Angeles correctly… Nevermind the word “skies” or “continental.” You might be wondering why I’m bringing this up, and I’m glad you’re wondering. It means you’re thinking and are involved. I like that. The reason is very simple. If you’ve watched Season 3 already, you’ll notice that they spell Izuki’s name as “Iduki” throughout the season. We won’t be doing that. It’s wrong. I’ll go over why it’s wrong when we get there, but before we get there, I just wanted to point out how unreliable Japanese anime makers are when writing things in English. They can’t even spell a famous city’s name correctly, so keep this in mind when I bring up the issues with “Iduki” in Season 3 🙂

Anyway, rant over. Enjoy the anime folks!
