Dai Majuu Gekitou: Hagane no Oni

More stuff from the 80′s, this time it’s the OVA “Dai Majuu Gekitou: Hagane no Oni” first shown in 1987.
We’ve got the remastered version ready for you to watch!

Subtitles are scene timed and arcturo ran through the subtitles to repair any English errors.
The remastered DVD was presented with 16/9 content, the only downside was that the DVD had a 4/3 flag so black bars had to be cropped. The release itself is 720×368 anamorphic and re-sized back to 720×405 on playback.

Some screenshots:



More oldschool. Digital Devil Monogatari Megami Tensei

Old OVA from 1987, R2 DVD source, with very good video, and good audio.
Subtitles are scene-timed and some typesetting has been added (few signs), the ones that needed “special/difficult” typesetting have been left plain.

The English used has been checked by arcturo, so there shouldn’t be any (major) flaws left.

Screenshots of the encode below;

6 months of waiting, 2 eps of Death Note.

Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you, 2 whole episodes of Death Note have been released.
I’ll try to to catch up with the r1 dvds again, but you’ll never know when that happens, as usual these Death Note episodes come in ~120MB each.
Other change is that I’ve changed the font for the subtitles.

Some screenies of these cool eps:


Nobody will miss it ~> Naruto dropped.

Long long time ago since we started, we were actually planning to re-do it and we were doing it, except we had an editor working on it, but he went AWOL, a half a year has past since then and we don’t feel like doing anything about it anymore, so, Naruto is dropped.

Demon City Shinjuku – Remastered

Some of you might have waited for this one, remastered version of Demon City Shinjuku, which has been originally released in 1988, since it’s old there is grain on the dvd, which I did my best to preserve the best I could.

Anyway, the source is a remastered R2 dvd, which seems to be VERY nice in quality.

Video resolution is 720×480, there was no need to crop anything off the video so I didn’t need to resize. The mkv is set to scale it back to 720×540 (4:3)

The subtitles that were on the dvd had BAD, really BAD timing, mistakes everywhere, so I’ve re-timed (scenetiming) every line of it. Also, some lines and signs were completely missing, they were translated, so thanks to icemarle.

Additional subtitle editing has been done by arcturo, to make 99.8% sure that there is no broken English.

As an extra I’ve added the Japanese subtitles that came with the dvd to the release as well.

Screenshots below:

Amatsuki DVD episode 1

Whoever has seen the tv version and loves quality knew that he would want a dvd version, well, here we have it for you, episode 1 has been completed.

The DVDs seem to be very nice, so if you want them this is your chance to get them.
The translation of the subtitles in this file is from the fansubs created by Ureshii, the timing is also from those files.
Had to typeset a few signs myself since they were hardsubbed. I’ve also added the karaoke lyrics with k-timing, everything is softsubbed.

So, another website, this time wordpress…

I’ve been using “joomla” for a while now, but wasn’t really happy with the package, not that it is bad, no it’s just a bit to large for me.

I don’t really update a LOT and it has quite a lot of features that I don’t need, so this time I’ve moved to WordPress. So far I really like it a lot more than joomla. A lot easier to maintain once you’ve got everything up.

Almost all project pages are updated now, still need to add a few more, like Kaze no Stigma (dropped) and Naruto (stalled), and a few project pages that are already up don’t have any information yet.

That’s all for now, stay tuned for some releases this week.
