Hello, everyone!

Has anybody been watching the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011 action that’s been taking place in Germany this month?  Well… If you have, that’s similar to the kind of action you’ll find in episode 30 of Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002!

Only Japan is fighting for the victory against Germany in the last few minutes of the International Youth Junior Championship’s final match in France.  Germany is a very powerful team who has easily defeated its opponents in this championship tournament.  Will Japan have the fortitude it needs to win this match to become the number one youth team in the world?

You’ll have to download and watch this ep to find out for yourself.  Enjoy this ep now, so you’ll be able to watch the final matches of FIFA’s Women’s World Cup this weekend:  Battle for the Bronze (France vs. Sweden) is on Saturday and going for the Gold on Sunday will be Japan vs. USA.  Both matches ought to prove to be very exciting.

One more thing… TheDeath mentioned something about Germany’s “mysterious keeper” (Deuter Müller) in eps 29 and 30 that I’d like to share with you:

[08:43] <TheDeath> hmm... can't help myself but that Keeper in 29
reminds me hefty on our Oliver Kahn (he got called the "Titan" for a
reason)
[08:44] <TheDeath> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Kahn

After checking out his Wikipedia article link, I’m led to believe that TheDeath is right.  Thanks for sharing that bit of history with us, TheDeath.  If any of you have something interesting that you’d like me to share with everybody in a future release post, please don’t hesitate to let me know — via a reply to this post and/or PM (or /msg) me in IRC.  I’d be more than happy to oblige.  🙂

Now….

Off with you!  Go download and watch another exciting episode of Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002, but DON’T FORGET to post a comment — about this ep… about the FIFA Women’s World Cup action… about the “Titan” Wikipedia article… about (almost) anything…

The release pictures should say it all… Finaly we’re at the final game of the tournament; Japan vs. Germany. Who will win this epic battle? I sure won’t tell you, so go ahead and watch 🙂 By the way, SHS have their own gmail for recruiting now, so please e-mail them at SHSTaka@gmail.com or go to their irc recruit channel: #shinsen-recruits@irc.rizon.net  if you want to help — all they really need now is a translator to get going.

If you want to help with this project become even faster, another quality checker wouldn’t hurt.

P.S Sorry I wrote the news post this time, Torianna 😛

Well…  Here it is, the moment you’ve been waiting for:  the exciting finale of the International Junior Youth Championship semifinal!  Who’s going to win “The Glorious Shootout”?  You’ll have to download and watch this episode yourself because I’m NOT telling!  What I WILL tell you about ep 28 is this:  It had me on the edge of my seat — right up to the very end!  Not only that, but it also gave us more of the characters’ back stories than I’ve seen in any of the eps that I’ve edited until now — i.e. since ep 23.

Before I forget… Here are the answers for last episode’s “pop quiz” (with special thanks to Grimneko and ninjacloud, the only two brave enough to post their answers):

1.  Yellow card.   As ninjacloud said, it’ obviously a yellow card “since Tsubasa didn’t do something serious to the referee.”

2.  All of those disallowed goals made me mad!  You should’ve heard me yelling at that ref!  Perhaps that’s not good sportsmanship, but I couldn’t help it.  He made me MAD!

3.  Episode 27 marks the beginning of a joint between Saizen Fansubs and Shinsen Subs.  As Grimneko said, “Shinsen IS BACK IN THA HOOD!”

Shinsen Subs IS back, and it’s going to be better than ever!  Of course, we’re going to need your help to “make it so”.  Consequently we are currently recruiting for any/all of the following positions:

*  Translator:  As you would guess, the translator translates the spoken Japanese and puts it into English, so fluency in Japanese (and also English, if possible) is a must.

*  Translation Checker (TLCer):  The TLCer gives each ep some “tender loving care” by making sure that the translations from the Translator are correct (even the best translators make mistakes from time to time) and that the subtitles make sense in English (making the editor’s job easier).

*  Timer:  The timer times each ep and makes sure that the subtitles appear on screen at the appropriate time.  The more experience you have with timing, the better.

*  Editor:  The editor edits the subtitles, so being fluent and having a good command of the English language (especially grammar, punctuation, and spelling) is a must.

*  Typesetter:  The typesetter handles the signs, so you should be (but don’t necessarily need to be) familiar with typesetting in .ass files.

*  Quality Checker (QCer):  The QCer does just what the name implies: checks the quality of eac release by making sure that the subs are fully edited and well-timed.

*  Encoder:  The encoder combines all of the parts to make the complete whole that you and I both enjoy watching.

If you are interested in any of the above-mentioned positions, please join the following IRC channel (on the Rizon network):  #shinsen-recruits .  We’re looking forward to chatting with you about how you think you’ll be able to help us.

In the meantime…  Go download and enjoy “The Glorious Shootout”!!  Then let me know what you think.  I promise:  No more “pop quizes” — at least for a while, anyway.
