I'm currently uploading the Majokko Club (Alien X from A kûkan) OVA to the Creamy Mami\raws directory of the QC FTP.
The file is about 200MB and should be up in a bit over half an hour. Enjoy!

Please tell me where I should upload it! (Do I have write access with the access codes given on the irc chan?)
I also noticed that the OVA3 raw is corrupted--only the first half is there. Also, it's not OVA3, it's OVA 1 (Eien no Once More). It was released in 1984 as a direct follow-up to the show. What is tagged here as OVA1 is actually OVA 2 (Long Good Bye), released in 1985. It was shortly followed by "Lovely Serenade" (OVA2-1) and "Curtain Call" (OVA2-2), both in 1985 as well. I believe there's also a special "movie" version of Long Good Bye which is just a reprise of the movie scenes from LGB, uncut. There's also the VS Momo OVA which isn't linked to Long Good Bye IIRC, it's more likely to be linked to some other event. I'll try to check that...

I only TL shows I think Rock. Theres a CHANCE I`ll Do SSX when the time comes, or any other show thats awsome.

You do realize half of the SSX episodes suck, don't you?
I mean the middle of the show. The first episodes are really good (up to episode 5 approx.), then the last 3-4 episodes are heartbreaking and fascinating, but the rest is a bit dull... "Been there, done that", you know...
Still, it's one of my top 10 shows, mostly because of the penultimate episode... Probably Kei Tomiyama's best performance ever. (Okay, I didn't see most of his early 60's-70's appearances!)

It may be fun for all of you, good for you, but it's still a pity you don't release the digitized ConePone fansub beforehand

So we really don't have a high experienced, fully reliable, usually available and totally dedicated translator (all 4 together) at the moment.  See the problem?  Hence no 30 000+ downloads show for us T_T.

I'll just answer this, because there's really no point.

There is NO problem. L.E has a lot of translators, and they're doing shows they want to see fansubbed. This is the whole point. These shows can be OLD, L.E doesn't care, as long as it's great. 99% of all fansubbers do recent shows and you can be sure all of their works are already being done by other fansubbers.

I'm not interested in even half of L.E's shows, but I'm still very impressed by the fact that it's the only major group that does old shows. And I commend you for that. Do not look at the download numbers. Look at what you've done in the past. (I'm talking to all L.E members, including Tofu!)
Ultimately, you will be judged by your past productions. And you don't have to be ashamed of them!

Well... That's cool...
How about releasing the digitized version right now, by the way?

someone with a german accent for harlock methinks,since he's from austria 

ve vill kill der mazone 

Actually, he is of German descendance.
His family is supposedly from Heiligenstadt, in Germany. There's also a "Heiligenstatt" in Austria, but as you can see, it's not the same spelling.

Current & Future L-E Projects / Re: Tsubasa & Nana = DROPPED, but DAQ26 released today.

He he, long post Nao.

Interesting though. To tell the truth I'm not a big Mami fan and I'm working on it only so that I can start my own project which is not 'allowed' to start Mami is done.

Why don't you do it by yourself? I didn't wait for anyone to "allow" me to start my MushiKing project... (Which, by the way, isn't dropped for now, in the end. We're working on episode 2. It still will be in French only, though.)

The TV series is all translated but the OVAS still need it.  Are you still interested in translating those?  Anyway, I'll post the rest of the info in the Mami thread...

Yes, I'm still interested. But I really have no free time for now. Still have three contracts to deal with, a new work project is underway, and other things waiting for me. I won't be available before next autumn (although I can still discuss here and show I'm still alive). Anyway the OVAs were all released after the TV show, so it's not really a problem that they're translated after the show is over. Actually, it would be best: since the first OVA uses about 30mn worth of footage from the TV show, it would be good to re-use the exact same translation as in the previously released fansubs. (I'm especially thinking about the last episode...)

It's so lonely..the forums...ever since these two darlings got dropped...people have stopped visiting us. 

Is it really a problem?
One day L.E will start working on another commercial show, people will come back, will try the other shows, and will stay for these, even after the commercial shows have been dropped. See how many people still enjoy the Berubara releases now.

As for sources we are covered, except for Alien X. 

I have a 199mb raw for Alien X, see quality below. (Yeah, I did specifically choose a fine screenshot for all of our male visitors ) The picture quality is correct for its age, but the frame transitions aren't too good (strong ghost effect).
I also have a VHS copy somewhere in PAL format, transcoded from the original NTSC laserdisc, but I don't think it will have a better quality.
If you're interested, I can upload the raw somewhere for you to download.

Willow, what is CornPone? Is it an analog fansub group from yore?
I didn't know you were making a dub. The idea sounds a bit silly to me... I hope you'll still offer a "real" fansub (or even just the raw, thank you ). I'd be more comfortable with the original Japanese dialogue.

Well, as I said earlier, I don't have time right now--I'm working on my new game, as well as fine-tuning three contracts and on top of that I'm going on vacation for a week. I won't have time before late July, probably August. Since I've given up on my Mushiking fansub after releasing only one episode (which didn't manage to hold up interest in the French community at least), I can devote myself to the Mami OVAs obviously. I have them all on videotape (Eien no once more, Lovely Serenade, Curtain Call, Long Good Bye, VS Minky Momo, Sannin musume and Alien X), but I'd rather have them on AVI format, would be easier to translate (or help translate).
Oh yes, I don't have the Perfect Memory OVA. I think it's a 2-minute introduction to the LD Box or something like that.

Well, it would be faster if I had access to the raw, although I know there's little chance I'll have time to translate it.

PS: how about the Captain Harlock 1978 movie, by the way? I thought it was supposed to be in qc long ago... Has it actually been translated at all? Can I help? (It's the only Harlock stuff I've never seen in my life... Only seen a few screenshots... Would be curious to watch it!)

I wasn't looking in the qc directory, only in the qc ftp... Well, the ftp that is advertised on the qc channel. Couldn't find anything there...

As I said, I never found the raw for ep 46 on the ftp. I found eps 45 and 47, but no eps 46 there.
