General > Current & Future L-E Projects

Ideas for More Matsumoto Series later on

(1/3) > >>

Tofusensei:
I'm not talking about now, but there are 2 very classic Matsumoto series that are coming out or have come out on DVD. I'd love very much for either us or another competent group to subtitle them eventually. Unfortunately since L-E is working some older projects through the pipeline (like Rose of Versailles, Yawara, and GE999) for now, we cannot tackle these any time soon. But I just want to make it public my desire to see these subtitled.

Recently Central-Anime has been subbing Space Battleship Yamato TV and AUF has been subbing the Captain Harlock 1978 TV series, so it is a regular renaissance for Matsumoto television!

Anyway, the series I am talking about are Endless Road SSX (mugen kidou SSX), and the Queen Millennia TV series (新竹取物語 1000年女王). The DVD box for Endless Road SSX came out last October but the first press is sold out. Hopefully it'll go back for sale soon. And the box for Queen Millennia comes out in June, http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007OE0Z0/qid%3D1107799729/250-0552355-3022625

Endless Road SSX is a continuation of the classic 'Arcadia of my Youth' Movie from 1982. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=DSTD-2357

Anyway, I promise you lots of of current projects from L-E in the very immediate future. Please do not lose hope in us as we've been struggling lately but we are bouncing back with a new vigor like you've never seen from us before. You'll understand what I am talking about in a month or two. I promise all you Matsumoto fans that we will not disappoint, your Maetel dreams will come true very very soon.

On a more serious note, if anyone is seriously interested in these shows and would actually consider purchasing the DVD sources for them that would be a HUGE first step in getting them subtitled eventually. I personally do not have the resources to buy them at this time. Don't get me wrong, we're not asking deliberately for sponsors, but if someone has the money and wants to own a piece of these shows while helping out the anime community and Matsumoto (and classic anime) fans like yourself, then please feel free to do so. It would be the best gift you could give back to the community. If you are interested in purchasing these at all, let me know.

I have a suggestion for a series: Starzinger
It's one of his series that are not related to GE999/harlock universe.
73 episodes

First i'd like to thank this group for releasing Leiji Matsumoto's works, i remember a few years ago it was impossible to get any of his stuff, i'm guessing Galaxy Railways was so good that many new viewers got hooked on Leiji Matsumoto's stories and style.

I think it would be great if you can sub Endless Orbit SSX, Arcadia of My Youth was so good it deserved a sequel, but i was thinking that maybe it's better if you focus on his latest series, they're much easier to find, his classics are probably better but most of them were lenghty series which makes the subbing process harder.

A recent matsumoto anime that i don't think has been licensed or subbed is Submarine Super 99, well according to anidb there's a sub by a group called Infusion but they don't seem to be working anymore, and it looks really good, maybe some of you won't like it because Maetel is not on it, but Matsumoto's women all look the same. The latest internet radio series should be interesting to sub aswell - Yuma no Monogatari ~ Symphony No. V .. it's basically a radio drama but it's got some animation in it (basic ones though), and the episodes are free to download on the oficial site, in case any of you haven't seen it or listened to it.
