Topic: New series suggestion thread

[BTime]

For my greedy anime request, I'd love to see Oishinbo get some fansubbing love. 

ANBU subbed the first 2 episodes a ways back, and I've been wanting to see more of this ever since.  It's not an easy show to sub, but that's part of what separates it from the pack.  Oishinbo would need a strong group of fansubbers to pull it off.  How about you Live-Evil crew??

Lol

I had the entire Oishinbo manga set (a girlfriend of mine at the time was way into the manga) but I'll be honest, I just don't know enough about Japanese culinary terms to do it justice. A lot of the manga was over my head.

It wouldn't be impossible, but a lot of work. Kara-kun, a former timer of ours, had all the raws for it. I believe he actually timed it for ANBU.

Hi.

This is kind of a side project request, but I was wondering if you can karaoke a PV for me.  The Promo-Video is KOTOKO - -421- A Will, and a lot of people would like to see this done.  Actually, I was looking for an English Translation online for this song, and I found that none existed on the internet, so I took the liberty of doing the translations myself, so that's one hurdle that's already taken care of, and should you choose to accept this side project, all you need to do is a Translation Check (not sure if I got my pronouns right) and the actual fansub itself.  If you decide to do this, I'll give you the kanji, romanji, and English versions organized by line in order so you can do this easily.

If you wish to credit me for translations, that's fine, but I would feel better if the TC gets it.

Hiatari Ryoukou!

[Tofusensei]

I'm very curious about Hiatari Ryoukou. Do you have any raw copies I can check out?

I know youre into Classic Anime, so how about DIRTY PAIR TV (24 Eps) from the 80ies.

Ah yes, that sounds like a great idea!  I have yet to see this series but loved the OAV series and movies.

We are actually subtitling this show and in need of someone to do translation checking for it. I think I see where this is heading

Hmm.....yes, well, we can talk about that and more after we have a chat in the IRC channel.

Dear Live-Evil,

I absolutely ADORED what you did with Rose of Versailles. It was one of the first few anime I watched as a kid in Germany, along with Aishite Night and Future Police Urashiman (and loads of other stuff), and lately I've been hunting around for all of these so I can rewatch them and remind myself why exactly I fell in love with anime.

I would like to request 'Lady Georgie', which has a very similar feel and look to Rose of Versailles, so it might be something you're interested in doing. Only a few episodes of the German dub are available on youtube and there are no existing English subs yet. Lots of sentimental value attached to this anime, so if your amazing group actually did this one, I would be forever grateful.

Lots of fan praises

You are not the first person to suggest it!

I always did want to have a followup series for ROV for us (ROV itself was our followup series to Utena).

Unfortunately, at this time we do not have the resources to add a new project like that but in the future it is a real possibility. Do you know anyone who owns the DVDs?

-Tofu

[VivisQueen]

Not at all. Never even met anyone else who has heard of it. But glad that you guys are considering picking it up in the future.

Thank you!

I also hope the LE would pick-up Lady Georgie. I saw that A Limited Box Set is coming out for it in Jun. It's R2 in the original Japanese. But it has a whopping price tag on it. I would donate money to purchase it if LE decided to pick it up to Subb.

Here are the links (I hope that this is ok 2 post):

BTW, Thanks for doing KOR I am so loving it very much.

I remember you asking me if I was still interested in TL checking DP on IRC a little while back.  I know you've been busy as of late, so no rush really.  However, I can start TL checking scripts whenever. Just thought I would post this here, even though I'm sure I'll see you in the IRC channel sometime.

L-E releasing DP-TV?? Well I missed that one completely

The first six episodes can be found on the net, but the group who released them, Exiled-Destiny, stated they never retranslated it and only reused fansubs from old vhs tape versions, and the project stalled after ep.6 month ago ... and now that group closed anyway...

Note that this group semiclosed, but they still seem to (very slowly) continue to release the DP-TV series, now at ep#08. They still just encode the RAWs and add the old VHS fansubs as .srt subs.

I enjoyed the entire DP-TV (DVD) series very much, voiced-over by my personal translating system ; the old existing fansubs mentioned above are acceptable, but very basic and far from being accurate at times.

So its very nice we'll see this truly classic series properly done, l-e style.

Until then, if youre into Classic KOR, DP, BC ... enjoy this (63MB, rightclick&save)

But if they're just adding the OLD scripts to the raws and releasing them, what fun is that? Yeah I know it's better than nothing for some people, but that's not really fansubbing (IMHO), since they aren't checking the translations and fixing any problems.
