Title: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: GE999fan on February 13, 2004, 05:25:15 am
OMG I love this series!  Starblazers was my intro to anime many years ago, and it had always been my
favorite until seeing GE999 (by the same creator)

Anyway once i started watching this series i've gone out of my way to see the entire 113 episode run, but only the first 36 episodes are available anywhere (with english subs)

Any chance of seeing eps 37-113 anytime soon?

Thanks for subbing this!!!  I love Leiji Matsumoto's works and I've always wanted to see this.  I've seen the movies, but have never had access to the series.  Thanks again!!!

Give the guys a chance, ep1 has just been released and Galaxy Railways still isn't finished yet.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: 1010011 on February 25, 2004, 05:55:10 pm
haha galazy railways isn't even CLOSE to finished, ep 8 has only just been released, not to mention GE999 needing 100+ eps..............lets face it, it'll be a while till they're all subbed. please bear with the staff tho, they are working hard on it, and the other l-e projects as well ^_^ patience will be rewarded..........

Saturday anime on Sci Fi sucked; they played Robot Carnival every night and remember when they use to play Akira all day on Saturday twice a month?
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Spymon on March 03, 2004, 10:57:30 pm
Sci Fi in the UK sucks for anime too, they are currently showing excel saga at 5:30am each and every day and a few other super old ADV licensd titles.

GE999 is supurb, ep2 is as good as ep1 and with Galaxy Railways as well going from strength to strength we are totally spoilt.

Ummm...  Maetel Legend has been out on r1 DVD for a long time already.  I've had the DVD for about a year and a half.  It was released a couple months after Harlock Saga, both by U.S.Manga Corp. (Central Park Media).

Thanks to another person from the group we are able to buy those dvds.

Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Tofusensei on April 02, 2004, 09:54:28 pm
Sure! I can tell you the best places to go...

#1- Go to Tokyo
#2- Go to Akihabara
#3- Go to the "Akihabara Electric Town"
#4- Walk down the main strip and find used anime stores, like Trader, etc, (I forget the exact names)

Look for used copies. They are usually 50% the cost of the original. The originals are bound to be there too but they are bound to be expensive. If you need more help I will be glad to oblige!

Man, when I first saw the movies on the Space channel, I knew I had to find the movies somewhere, but with no luck. All I found was Maetel Legend, and I paid about $50 for that. I've tried looking on ebay or amazon.com for the movies or the episodes on DVD, anything...but no luck. Anyone know where I could buy the movies or the episodes on DVD or VHS? I would greatly appreciate it  :)
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Tofusensei on April 08, 2004, 09:19:21 pm
All I ask is, please do not shell out money to bootleggers/HK DVDs. They do NOTHING but hurt the industry in Japan and outside Japan and buy buying them you are giving them more money/encouragement to run their operation.

If you are looking for DVDs with english subs, then you are looking for bootlegs.

Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: greenkabbage on June 13, 2004, 01:12:07 am
it really is. But it also reflects on human nature and I think it does quite a good job. Titan was an awesome example of anarchy gone wrong.  :-X let's see how the show turns out to be later on.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Spymon on June 13, 2004, 07:39:55 pm
Yeah, that's what I like about both this and Galayxy Railways, the only problem is that GR tends to lack any subtlety at times and has the problem of dealing with the world through a young adults eyes rather than a childs.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: greenkabbage on June 15, 2004, 05:43:54 am

Post by: Spymon on June 16, 2004, 03:49:36 am
Galaxy Railways is pretty good.  Just the a few of the eps aren't all that great.  I also have to say that I'm not sure where the series is going.  It has its flaws but they definitely don't kill it.

Hi,
I haven't read the whole topic and I only found out about your group today - however I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your work on translating and providing GE999.

I used to watch this series as a kid (4~6 years old) and as time passed (and TV stopped showing) I grew more and more fond of it. It's great to be able to see it again and know that it wasn't just memory making it better but that it really is that good.

Thanks again.

I registered just for this series thread, as many others I am a Matsumoto-Sensei fan and I just love Galaxy Express.

I see that You guys intend on continuing the series and are doing a good job with the encoding and translating, but You'll excuse me for I need to ask You this question, I've been downloading and seeding these episodes for more than 1 year now, and I just wanted to know when do You intend to make regular releases and shorten the periods between the episodes.
Don't take me wrong I do apreciate Your work, It's better this way than none, but it's just my curiosity talking aloud.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!

I am absolutely in love with you guys!

I was first introduced to the manga of Galaxy Express 999 in about 1998 or 1999 in Animerica where they had a Chapter of it printed there...

Then recently I bought a subtitled DVD (I assume it is bootleg -_-) of Cosmo Warrior Zero (the DVD has the last 2 episodes of the series).

I was surprised to see the same art style, and even more surprised when I pieced together Captain Harlock and Esmeraldas from Galaxy Express 999 ^_^

Even more recently, at an anime convention I managed to get Volume 4 for Galaxy Express 999 in English too. ^_^ I am absolutely in love with this series... I can't wait to get the rest of the manga!

And now I search the net and find that you guys have subbed the first 7 eps of GE999. ^_^ I can't begin to express my gratitude for doing this.

113 episodes must be a very massive project to tackle, but I truly hope that you're able to get through the whole thing, since it's my understanding that there's no English subtitled release available anywhere for this awesome series.

GE999 is becoming one of my favourite anime now... ^^ Thank-you so much, I can't wait till more releases come out. ^^
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: gumbaloom on September 04, 2005, 05:38:17 am
Well I refer you to my previous post, Episode 8 has been translated and timed for quite some weeks now but its waiting on editing/typesetting/encoding by the person who owns the DVD's  :-[

I'm sure it will be done in due course :X

-gumbaloom
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Inuki on September 05, 2005, 09:41:14 am
Yayyy ^_^ New episode!!!
It's a huge undertaking and a fairly lengthy series, but I am definitely prepared to wait for it. The quality is worth it. ^.~

I have to say, I'm watching Space Symphony Maetel, and the animation (obviously) is way better (though the CGing is a little over-the-top.. I'm a bigger fan of more 2-d stuff than 3d, and especially the hand-done stuff is nice), but the plot just can't match up with GE999. Several of the episodes of GE999 almost had me in tears.. This series is absolutely beautiful. I guess I'm just a total sucker for the classics.. if only they weren't so obscure/rare. T_T

It's not to say I don't like SSM, but it's more to say that I absolutely am in love with GE999. Episodes 1, 2, the beginning of 3 and 6 had me really close to bursting into tears.

I really just love travel-anime. I wish I knew more anime in this genre.

The plot of episode 3 really reminds me of a Kino no Tabi episode actually.. I think it's episode 6 or 7.. about the majority rule, instead of Anarchy it was more a parable of Democracy-gone-wrong. I heard there are some other similarities too..

I'm curious as to whether the manga + the anime for GE999 are the same. I've been looking at some episode guides, and I can't seem to find any episodes that match up to the manga (I have Volume 4) so far...
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: ladoga on September 08, 2005, 02:43:32 am
Manga that is translated to english as GE999 is actually a sequel to this series. There are 5 volumes and the storyline matches with animated film Ginga tetsudô Three-Nine: Eternal Fantasy. I think it was pretty odd decision to translate the sequel first. Maybe the original would have been of too much work?

I suppose that the original manga - similar to TV-series - has never been translated to english.


It's really shame as this surely is one of the most (if not the most) loved classic manga series in japan.  (or so i've heard) I would buy these (TV-series and manga) instantly if available outside japan translated/subbed. Im sure many others would love it too...

Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Inuki on September 08, 2005, 05:53:14 am
Ahh! I can't believe the original manga has never been translated..

While I'm truly grateful that they've translated one of the manga, I find it really depressing that they didn't translate the original...

Are you sure they never translated the original? I thought I saw 1 or 2 of the older ones selling on E-bay, though they might've been smaller chapters from the new volumes that weren't yet separated, or like http://cgi.ebay.com/Galaxy-Express-999-Manga-Vol-15-Leiji-Matsumoto-Anime_W0QQitemZ5980242879QQcategoryZ1345QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem they may be in Japanese still.

And what's http://cgi.ebay.com/Galaxy-Express-999-by-Leiji-Matsumoto_W0QQitemZ4570423511QQcategoryZ378QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ?? My friend told me it must be a "Special" manga or something. Is it also from the original manga or what?

I wish they'd separate this stuff and stop the confusion by calling the manga + anime "Galaxy Express 999 - 2" vs. the original or "Second Version" or something like that... At least FMP does it.

First link you posted is one of original series. It's only in japanese.

Second i think is of the same series you own (published by VIZ). It's just Vol.1 with alternate cover, maybe different print thats all. I have these from 1-5 which is just the "Eternal Fantasy" story. It happens all after ending of original manga.

Tetsuro has returned to earth after his first journey and at start of Eternal Fantasy things are not going so good there. Tetsuro has been taken as prisoner by earths rulers. When tetsuro is about to be excecuted Maetel comes in GE 999 to rescue him. There this second journey starts.  Story is bit movie like...simply hurried too much imo. IIRC in Vol.4 they visit planet Grotesca and this Schubert guy. Much that happens in this volume is not seen in the movie, but i think other volumes are almost identical to movie.

IMO longer series like the original would be much better as it could tell happenings on each visited planet/place (and more of them) in depth like you can see in TV-series.

Volume 15 would be the Japanese edition from Big Comics, and is the equivalent volume to Viz's Volume 1 of the "Eternity" storyline. BC are up to volume 21 "Ginga Tetsudo Monogatori" which contains the side-story that lies behind the recent "Galaxy Railways" Anime. Viz are now two volumes behind (and flipped to boot! What - they think no-one will notice that two of the main characters have distinctive facial scarring on the *left* suddenly on the *right*?!!) ;-P However the Viz translation also leaves a *lot* to be desired in places...

If you read French, Kana, the French publishers who translated the Space Pirate Captain Harlock and Nibelung no Yubia ("Harlock Saga") manga, are translating GE999, but I'm not sure whether or not they started with the original series or not, postage from Amazon.fr being bleeping expensive - and me only on the other side of the channel! (and since the Japanese is furigana'd, not much point in buying a French copy to read! I already made *that* mistake with Versailles no Bara...)

The Japanese currently have at least two editions in print of the original series (Usually distinguished as the "Andromeda" storyline )-  I've got the tiny, pocket sized Shonen Gahosha Bunko edition which runs vols 1-12 - and is gratifiyingly furigana'd for kanji-deficient novices... <g> Big Comics runs a smaller page count but a larger print size in 14 volumes (no idea if they're furigana'd though... editions can vary!) It's this latter edition that started the 'Eternity' Series directly after the orginal!

If anyone cares, a tankobun called "Space Natural History Mars Hotel" seems to be set during the Eternity Series, and Tetsurou, Maetel and Harlock show up for a few chapters - since this one turned up on my radar out of the blue, there could be a few other side-stories lurking out there that add to the story (which is getting more convoluted by the volume! He does like to waffle on, does Leiji-san...!)

Hey, need to ask about GE 999.

Only found episodes 1-7 subbed by Live Evil, but how many have u guys subbed, and where could i get the rest of them ?

Its been about 10 years since i last saw it...nice too see it again.

I could kill somebody if i`d get all the episodes with english subs.

Someone obviously can't be bothered to read other threads in this forum ne?

Oh and if you're asking for *all* the episodes subbed in English you'd be asking for HK bootlegs. Live-eviL does not support the distribution of HK bootlegs.

Sorry, but wtf is a HK bootleg ? (couldn find it in the friggin` forum)
Episodes 1-113 contain any "HK bootlegs" ?
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: gumbaloom on November 28, 2005, 10:51:56 pm
"HK Bootlegs" is a term which is given to pirated versions of anime which for a large part originate from the Hong Kong region and have bad english translations. They are illlegal and no money goes back to the original creators of the show and we do not condone their promotion or distribution.

As for the status of Live-eviL's subbing of GE999, read the forum properly as I'm not going to repeat myself.....

THIS IS A NOTE TO THE FANZ
I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS CONCERNING THE SUBBING OF THIS SERIES:PLZ PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!111111

Okay, Basically, Tofu has said that he MAY be interested in being the main TL for this series. I want know what YOU the fans think of that. Basically the options are....

A)Wait for Tofu, give him a month or so....the series is very long, so theres no reason to rush it. Its best to get someone good early on than to keep switching.

B)Find some other poor TL, who may do a poor job on YOUR GE 999

C)Stick me with the Job. This has several KEY disadvantages:
1)Would Prevent me from spending alot of time on Harlock
2)Would prevent me from spending alot of time on Queen Millennia
3)Would Result in HK quality Subs. Seriously: I suck! You've seen my posts! Imagine the HORROR of that in subtitle form!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

What do YOU guys think? Also, if your name is gumbaloom, you may not comment. If you choose to do so, your comments will be ingored.

Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: gumbaloom on March 06, 2006, 10:49:36 am
You know perfectly well what I think about Tofu's reliability at the minute. The fact he's not had any translated work released since Blood+ 02 in October speaks for itself =P.

Anyhow to add to the melting pot I have some semi interesting news. I did a bit of digging around about something that's been niggling me.

RZ Productions back in early 2000's it would appear was a VHS fansubbing group who worked on GE999 so I've tried firing off a few emails and see what I get back. You never know I might have 40+ skanky scripts for you to work through xD

WOW THANK YOU>
I collect 60's-80's animation u know like hanna baberra ,filmation ect. I like Anime I guess. I have  a soft spot for Star Blazers (of course) and Super Robot stuff, but that about it. Another fansub I follow is doing danguard ace. so I googled Matsumoto and found other show names and torrent searched them for shits and giggles.  Up comes GE 999, so I dl a couple and check it out, hehe
 I  AM  NOW HOOKED. What a great show the whole experience from the opening theme to the sum up at the end. This has now become my favorite thing to watch on TV I always thought star blazers was his best work. WRONG now I'm up all night trying to find everything I can about other related shows , movies IE maetel legend, ok but if u know GE 999 its a lot better, I just started to DL Harlock too (i've seen a couple before but now its different).  This series made me a fan, Thanks Again and please keep up the outstanding work. U'll see me around here now trying to follow up on what i've been missing since 1978  ;D

do you hear *whap whap whap* from outside the house?

yes, the chopper should be right about there now. black suited men are there to get you. they'll take you away and make it sure that you don't have anything more important to do than subbing adventures of tetsuro and meeteru.

day in day out that's all you gonna do!  >:( >:(


we might still call em off if you're a good boy. you know what we want.

we can do other things than be wuzzies and cry "please masakari sub ge999, plz!  :'( :'( :'( " we decided to take action and stop crying like babies. now it's you who either sub it or cry and sub it. what do you think? what you gonna choose?

Hi,

I'm very new to all this donloading of Anime lark. However, I just wanted to say that I've waited twenty years to see Galaxy Express 999 and I'm loving it. I've only seen that first four episodes so far but I love it's sense of tragedy and drama. I look forward to the future instalments.

I've scanned through the previous messages in this thread and must say I was quite shocked by the rudeness and lack of gratitude. Am I missing something here? No money has been exchanged has it? These subs are done out of love, not for gain? If that's correct, then I find it incomprehensible that anyone should have the gall to complain!

Keep up the good work.

Judging by how much was messed in the ep 11 I saw....Oh boy boys, better put up another kettle of coffee.

Attention GE999 fans!!!
Would you like to see faster releases from this series?
You could help speed the process along by becoming a QCer for Live-eviL. Right now this series lacks dedicated and efficient QCers, so if you think that you are interested please check out the "Come QC for Live-eviL" thread in the Live-Evil Recruitment Center Forum. This will give you more details about the job itself as well as how to get in contact with the right people. Hope to hear from you soon!

That post is Bullshit.

The Delay has nothing to do with QC. Period. QC takes like 1-2 intelligent people, and a half hour, both of which are not hard to come by with the given staff.

o.O

A half-hour? You wish. Or rather... I wish. And QCers have actually become quite hard to come by given available staff recently. Face reality Masa, we could really use some more QCers.

Maybe you are unaware but we now have at least 2 special threads for posting this type of spam. The Official Troll Tread, and the Official Flaming Thread.

Apparently you aren't aware, but the next ep of GE999 has been sitting around waiting for 2 more QC's for going on a week now. Perhaps you find this acceptable, but perhaps some of the fans who would like to see this series released ASAP will feel differently.

Unless you have something useful to say, (or have actually taken the time to check out the current QC situation,) Please don't go around shooting off you mouth without any facts to back it up. The truth is, that currently more QCers are needed at Live-eviL in general to help speed along releases of this and many other series.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Tsubasa on August 05, 2006, 12:49:04 pm
Yeah it was lying in the qc department for 2 days with only bobby doing a qc.  When no one else bothered, Blue_Mage, who rather dislikes GE999 and had already planned to stay away from qcing it, was kind enough to show flexibility and qc it....although we know the qc'ers generally qc stuff that they like, and Blue_Mage seems to qc about everything that comes in the way, even multiple qcs, in spite of being an editor for another group....unlike someone who says he cannot qc cause he's an editor and considers himself a former qc just because Yaoi opped him.

/me looks at the 'Sun'.

And then Masakari, you were also suppose to submit a qc report for GE999 10.  Now where is it?

Just don't take qcing and qc'ers for granted.  Do some work yourself---If you care about GE and want it out, being a 'Right Hand Man' of the Matsumoto Division, you'd better help out.

And bobby, don't bother about Masa, he will be a hopeless troll wherever he goes, cause he has nothing better to do and never ever cares about other ppl's feelings and his retardedness leaves nothing to the imagination.

*sigh*

I've looked at 10, and, honestly... QCers are not what we need. Now, About the only one I'll believe if they said we need more Qcers is Yaoiboy, as its absolute Bullshit as far as I can see. It doesnt matter how many QCers ganked the shit out of that ep, it still wouldnt fix the primary issue; TL FIXING.

If you think you can fix a non QC issue with QCers, then youre an idiot, but its not like i needed any more proof or assurance of that. By the time a QUALIFIED and GOOD TL FIXER actually FIXES a script, qc work is still necessary, but largely cosmetic; what you are trying to do with more Qcers at this point is like trying to apply makeup on someone who desperately needs plastic surgery...from Black Jack no less.

If you want to blame or demonize me, go ahead; it doesn't solve anything. What GE is missing is a fully competant, non-trainee fixer, and that is work that an average QCer just isn't capable of - that is not an insult, its just the facts.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: Tsubasa on August 06, 2006, 02:32:37 pm
Yeah I totally agree, but even after getting a decent t/l fixer, GE will still have to undergo three qcs.  But if there is no one to qc it now, there will be no one to qc the 10+ eps as well.

Bottomline is, you need a good t/l fixer AS WELL AS qc'ers interested in qcing it.  GE needs BOTH.

Ok, what I said previously wasn't intended to "demonize" you or personally attact you, so calling me an idiot and getting defensive about it was a bit extreme. I'm not an idiot, and I highly doubt that you are either. All I was trying to say was that in the big picture, every show needs 3 QC's. Right now almost no one wants to QC GE999. Its just common sense that if no one wants to QC it, it will take extra time to release it.

I wasn't implying that lack of QC's is the only thing tying up the show. I am sure you would know better than me if it has other issues which could stand to be fixed as well. But I have no control over those other issues.

The only reason I made this post in the first place was because I was requested to do so by Suzaku, who was getting fed up with waiting a week plus for the required QC's. (As it stands we are STILL waiting for one more QC by the way.)
So perhaps instead of spending all this time telling me how stupid and wrong I am. If you think there are other more important things that need to be fixed with the show, take the initiative do something about it. If nothing can be done about it well too bad, but something can be done about the lack of QCers which are needed in general and not only for this show, so if you don't mind please quit flaming about it and allow us to work on fixing one of the issues that we do have control over.

Clearly, Galaxy Express 999 needs some long-term lovin'. I think we should put this project ON HOLD until we can get a quality, DEDICATED translation checker for it. I am very disappointed with how this is turning out. :( I love this show... in fact, it is the reason I came here! Come on, let's give this show the respect it deserves! Let's give it the same quality it enjoyed in the first 8 episodes, or not do it at all.
Or... am I barking up the wrong tree here? Is this show not as good as I think? Are we wasting our time with it? ???

In short, I will not work on Galaxy Express 999 anymore until we get a quality TL checker on it. I am really disppointed about this! :'(

Any qualified people out there: please step forward!!

Thank you.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: bobby6 on August 08, 2006, 01:09:11 am
Ok, so to condense the important points from the last 9 posts:

1) Please come QC for Live-eviL. People are needed for this show as well as in general.

2) If you have the skills and are willing to step forward, GE999 needs a dedicated TL checker.

3) Until this stuff happens it seems unlikely that fans will see much more from this show for awhile, so if you care about it, come help out yourself, (or bug any friends of yours who have the required skills to do it  ;) )

If you are interested in QCing check out the Come QC for Live-eviL thread in the Recruitment Center forum. If you feel you have the necessary skills for TL checking, either talk to us about it on IRC, or send a PM to someone. Preferably someone from the Matsumo division like Yaoiboy. Hope to hear from you dedicated fans soon!!!  :D

You asked for it you got it.

I have found someone willing to do T/L work for GE999.
His name is Nakagawa Masahiro.
As you can tell from the name, he is Japaneese, and from the chats I have had with him he is quite able to hold an english conversation meaning that he should be quite up to the task of T/L work on GE999 on his own or with the aid of a friend of his{known as Darkwing :P} (who was the one who brought him to my attention)

I anticipate only a slight learning curve as he familiarizes himself with aegisub and the like. I see no problem in this.

He Downloaded a copy las night and got a copy of the latest script of #10 from me as well as the Q/C AVI. I will work with him to show him the ropes if needed.

In his own words, he should have no problem like say doing an episode a weekend after he gets done with a major school event after Sep 15th.

 :o ;D :D
I really hope he works out cause I wanna get GE99 moving! =^-^=

Meow Baby!

Oh no. Masakari is no retard. He says things straight and that's one thing to admire. (very good sense of comedy too I might add.) Im not saying that he's right or wrong on (how would i know), but judging from stuff he has posted here I think main problem between you guys is chemistry.

Instead of bitching about eachother try to get along. It's not so hard even if you're so very different. Tho im sure Masa enjoys this little play.  ;D

Whatever. I hope to see next episode of GE999 soon. Great work so far on quality..now show us some quantity.  ;)

??? ??? It's the best show, but everything else you say I have to agree.

For me this lack of interest is really hard to understand as 90% of anime i've seen doesn't even compare to this. Everyone I've introduced to this show (thanks to your work) has loved it. Even a lovely girl at my workplace always asks if there's any new episodes out to show her. :) But here... it's all so quiet.

Maybe the difference between todays main stream anime fan and people who like Matsumoto series - which there seem to be many - is so different that you haven't just reached the right audience and potential fansubbing staff for this series.

It is kinda disappointing that I blew a tone of $$$ around xmas 05 to buy the first half of the GE999 to provide a reliable raw source for GE999 (apart from Tofu) and as of today theres only 2 releases eps to show for that investment.

I was kinda hoping that I would have been bitched at on a regular basis for raws but it's been months since I last did some raw ripping :/

Prolly gum got them up...did a full distro after a long time. ::) ;D

Now only Sailor Stars 168 & 169, GF 4 & 5, Harlock 14 & 15, Trapp 02, and maybe a few other stuff need to be upped on the bots by Mr. Guesswho. ;D

We just finished a day at Cedar Point. Had a blast! We spent yesterday at Holiday World (have a new No.1 wooden roller-caster: The Voyage!). I'm currently in the motel room on the VZAccess card. I'll be back home on Tuesday.

Tofu?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tofu, also called doufu (often in Chinese recipes) or bean curd (literal translation), is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. The making of tofu from soy milk is similar to the technique of making cheese from milk. Wheat gluten, or seitan, in its steamed and fried forms, is often mistakenly called “tofu” in Asian or vegetarian dishes.

-me LOVES it in HotN sour Soup!

TOFU can also be a military slang acronym, see FUBAR;

Shows like Galaxy Express 999 have much more depth of story than most popular shows. People will want to discuss it. Take a guess which shows will be REMEMBERED after serveral years. I think the answer is pretty clear.

I'm happy to see that GE999 is still getting fansubbed.  It is by far one of my favorite animes, and it has been one I have used to get a lot of people into it as well.  It surprised me to find out that what had been done with the American release was for 114 epsidoes to be cut into two movies.  I was thrilled to see a fansub of the series going on.

Thanks a lot L-E. <3

Are you sure, I mean pertaining to the Sci-fi channel releases?  I've been watching the fansub, and I've basicly seen a stretched version of what was shown on Sci-fi.  I saw the same thing happen to Iria:Zeiram the Animation.  They took the 6 episode series, and shortened it into a movie, which paraphrased what had happened, and leaving out some of the character development that occured in the full version. 

In the case of GE999, I remember seeing the Pluto scene(episode) but not the one pertaining to the two-parter where Testuro was kidnapped by the woman living at the edge of the galaxy.  And only -part of the episode involving the pirate who gave Tetsuro the gun.  Or am I wrong, and that was the premise of the movies(at least the first and not "Adieu")?

Forgive me, I've only been into fansubs for a couple years, and haven't seen too many (most of the time groups were dropping or forgetting the ones I was watching--save for Bleach, which was liscenced).

The movies are a re-telling of the story, but they are ALL BRAND NEW ANIMATION, SOUND, and...No not characters...the Idea of Matsumoto and new characters in one sentence is....mystifying.

The movies are a re-telling of the story, but they are ALL BRAND NEW ANIMATION, SOUND, and...No not characters...the Idea of Matsumoto and new characters in one sentence is....mystifying.

Ginga Tetsudou Monogatari.  Very clearly Matsumoto, but no sign of the characters we all know and love.  I could also cite The Cockpit, but since that is set in WWII I would not expect to see Harlock or Maetel or whoever.

But harlock and Maetel ARE in the cockpit. Theres the German fighter pilot *COUGH* and the daughter scientist...who look and are NOTHING LIKE HARLOCK AND MAETEL, I SWEAR!

Calling all anime fans!!!!

Live-eviL currently has a major shortage of dedicated QCers. :'(
This does not bode well for quick and efficient releases of YOUR FAVORITE ONGOING L-E SERIES!!! :o
Yes, you heard me right! If you would like to help speed the fansubbing process along for your favorite ongoing LE series, or in some cases simply get it moving through QC again, please check out the "Come QC for Live-Evil" thread in the "Live-eviL Recruitment Center" Forum. Read what various staff members have to say about the job, and if you think you might be able to help out send me a PM ASAP! Thank you in advance to those who are willing to give it a try!

Hey, I just blind-ordered the Korean boxset of the two films (1979 & 1981 I think). Are they stand-alone, or am I required to see the series first?
Thanks.

The only Matsumoto work that I've seen is about 3 Daft Punk music videos and those were stunning (I've been meaning to see the full Interstella 5555 for years now, should buy that some time.)

Post by: Wadachi on September 30, 2006, 07:03:34 pm
They are a stand-alone series, although it wouldn't hurt to have seen the first few episodes from the original TV series.  Tetsuro is supposed to be 15-17 years old in the films whereas he is around 10 in the TV series.  Enjoy!

Here's a crazy request, but do any of you Matsumoto anime fans happen to either be yourselves, or know someone who is, proficient enough in Japanese that they could be a translator for one of our Matsumoto series?

It would be inexpressably great to have another TL working in the Matsumoto division, right now we are majorly understaffed in that area.  :-\ So if anyone can help us out, or knows someone else who would be interested in doing so, please send Yaoiboy a PM! As always, thanks for supporting the Matsumoto division as we work to bring you high quality subs of Matsumoto's anime classics!  :D

But due to server issues, we have not been able to update the web page.  :'( :'( :'(

here is what it SHOULD look like.. or sort of


Tetsuro and Maetel are off on another adventure. This time it's a dual feature of light and dark as Tetsuro first finds himself alone in a dark mysterious world facing a strange character indeed. Is this all for real or just some crazy dream? Then next it is on to a beautiful water world reminiscent of old Earth. But things going on behind the scenes begin to strike a sour note with the traveling companions.

Hmm, when updating the front page, there was a tag that said "add image" or something like that.  I decided not to try it, because I'd probably screw something up.  Of course, all the other posts ended up going wacky instead, so... :P

Regardless, this is actually a very cute show, despite the Tetsuro nudity.  I'm glad I've had the opportunity to see it, because it's not something that I would have normally downloaded and watched.  And I know how hard Suz is working on it, so props to her and the rest of the GE999 staff on a job well done. :)

probably my favorite moment with Conductor-san involves the episode where Tetsuro loses his pass and the conductor is trying to make him get off the GE, and the poor guy is like "i have to!  it's my job!"  speaking in the polite form and everything, and when i saw him hide from Tetsuro i nearly died from kawaii overload:

*cue the sparkling anime eyes brimming with tears*  haha ^_^

i'm actually in the process of attempting to get your GE999 on DVD so that when i try to explain to people how good it is, i'll actually have a method of showing them, haha.  silly friends and their ignorance in the realm of fansubs/bittorrent C:

however it's a rather confusing task, so if anyone has experience with putting fansubs to DVD, i'd love to hear from you, haha.

(and rest assured, i have absolutely no intention of selling them!)

yeah, i really wish i was like insanely adept at learning languages, so i could get really fluent in Japanese and assist L-E with the translation, which i'm guessing is the major problem with subbing stuff, unfortunately it's the opposite effect and i'm learning my Japanese *from* L-E subs... haha

but you never know, i've been told language is a gift of mine so it's not all that unlikely that in a few years i'll be speaking in actual sentences and will actually know how to read kana... ;)

i wanted to see this anime ever since i played very rare arcade game called Freedom Fighter at arcade event last summer.

OMG!!!!! I played this game YEARS ago, before I had ever even heard of Galaxy Express or even became an anime fan. :o The machine at my local arcade wasn't working very well. :'( It is similar to what they did with Cliff Hanger, based on Lupin III.

Hahahahaha!!! That's so AWESOME!! :D Thanks for sharing that trip down memory lane.

You are doing great work.

I have one question: Do you have the raws for the Galaxy Express 999 TV specials like the longer version of the emeraldas story and are you planing on subing them too.

Anyway thanks alot

I believe we do have the TV specials raws (looks at Tofu) I wanna get the box too when I have money to burn. However the priority is getting the TV series done. Then we'll come back and think about movies and such especially as they're uuber spoilerage for the later part of the series.

Btw does anyone remember this obscure Canadian series? It must have inspired the  GE999 anime to some extent.

The Secret Railroad, 1977

That does look oddly familiar...

But I'm pretty sure GE was inspired by the Night on the Galactic Railroad book(s), as this one probably was.

Post by: petran on June 09, 2008, 07:11:09 pm
Considering that L.Matsumoto was an avid fan of French cinema and literature, I'd also add the books "Little Prince" and "Maeterlink's Blue Bird". Maeter's design was inspired by the french movie "Marianne of my youth" after all.

Thank you for your efforts all those years, to bring us one of Matsumoto masterpieces, the notorius series: "Galaxy Express 999". You did an excellent job and I loved every single episode you released. You gave me lot of personal Joy the last 4 years and that is priceless!

Live eviL was the last hope to let us watch this series. And now, we, the ones not located on U.S.A. or Canada, don't have any hope. Sorry that I'm not feeling happy like you, for this lovely thing that just happened. But, the 1/3 of the series is more than no episodes at all. So, I'm not negative at all. Only sad.

At least you manage to finish Captain Harlock just in time! And I bet, that many non North Americans, gonna keep sharing your amazing and excellent work, for a long long time. If a single Matsumoto fan out there, in any corner of this planet, wish to watch Captain Harlock, I'm sure there will always be a way to watch it through the alternative you provided to us, his worldwide fans!

Thank you and keep up your good work with the rest of your projects! I'll keep an eye on them!

It was an amazing stretch of well-translated episodes, but I guess all good things must come to an end - especially if you live outside the U.S.

Needless to say, I sincerely hope that we never hear any similar "wonderful" news on Toei "licensing" Queen Millennia or SSX. I would be ready willing and able to throw lots and lots money at Toei to watch these series officially with subs, but now I never can. Anyone willing to pick up the reigns on continuing the English-language fansubs for the few Crunchyroll-locked regions out there? :)
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!
Post by: kaleyboy on January 11, 2009, 01:37:44 pm
Okay, so the US and Canada are fine - but the rest of us are screwed. I've grabbed each episode from live-evil and loved every moment watching it. It's so unfair that people like myself who live in the UK won't get to see the rest of this great series. If Toei want to region-lock the crunchyroll episodes then live-evil should continue to sub this series for those of us outside USA. I feel hurt that this fantastic series subbed by great people will not be available to me anymore. I thank you for all the episodes you've done so far and hope you have success in the future; but please don't forget about us who are gonna be locked-out of the crunchyroll episodes.

Yeah, but there's no guarantee that they won't, either. I honestly think this is terrible what crunchyroll has done, leaving fans outside their service with no options. Fansubbers like live-evil should stand up to them and continue to sub for the region-locked areas. That way they just might reconsider. And, yes, before anyone points it out, I know it's Toei that region-locks the shows. But still, the same principile applies.
Title: Re: Galaxy Express 999!!!

You know, I just thought I'd point out that, just because these are exclusive to the US/Canada right now, it doesn't mean that'll always be the case.

I'd be willing to bet several body parts that this probably will be the case. The absurdity of a site that steals other people's fansubs on a regular basis can suddenly implement insurmountable region-locks for series many people worldwide would be willing to pay for is almost palpable. Indeed, this was never about the money; I wouldn't even mind only having isolated English subs to use on the expensive R2 DVDs - like the late lamented ScriptClub used to do before it was canned.

Strange thing though, Harlock and Galaxy Express were far from unlicensed in places like Italy, yet people from those countries could easily download the fansubs along with everyone else until Crunchyroll's "wonderful" acquisition of the two series locked everyone outside NA out. I feel that we can at least ask the legitimate question on what will happen to the existing fansubbed episodes with regard to non-U.S./Canada distribution?

Technically, they're still not licensed in the majority of places outside of NA, just as the few European countries etc. only had the license until a couple of weeks ago, so from that viewpoint, the existing fansubs should technically still be available to us poor plebeians. Have I got my analogies totally wrong?

Well, since that's not going to happen, maybe said fans should try doing something for themselves to make these shows available in their own region(s).

Now this is something that makes sense! :)

I still have the few post episode-36 Galaxy Express subtitle files that were made available on ScriptClub, and have feverously spent the last couple of nights refining their formatting and timing them all, so that could make a half-decent start to such an endeavour for us Crunchyroll-impaired individuals.

The translations for those few episodes are clearly more primitive translations than Live-Evil's GE999 efforts were before they pulled out, but they're better than nothing. Anyone that wants all these timed scripts for any reason can PM me.

I really don't know.  If it can be licensed/made available in one region, it can be licensed/made available in another.  Easier said than done, sure.  But there's a better chance of something happening along those lines than of l-e continuing the series, so...

Basicly there are ways to bypass the stupid region limitations.
But this is not the point. It is obvious that soon or later, when (and if) the series ends, it so popular that someone gonna make a torrent with all the episodes and that's it. But IMO, this is not a solution eather.

Let's get some facts: The Raws of the Galaxy Express 999 episodes are out there. R2 DVDs are also exists for those who wish to buy them. So, what we basic need are the english subtitles.

The way I see it, what would all help us, is someone from Canada/USA to download the episodes from crunchyroll (after they pass the episode 33 of course) and then using well known methods, extract the subs, time them with the raws and share them with the world in a soft fansubbing form.

From there we can translate them in our local languages, because this is the true point IMO: Spread to the world this great timeless Anime masterpiece, which under  today's anime industry conditions, wouldn't even have a change to start production.

Artel I'm very interesting for the subs you have.

Why?  If you're going to sub to a particular language, start with the Japanese.  Oh, yes, I know what the response to this will be... "Nobody here speaks Japanese, but everyone knows English."

We have the same problem here.  Pre-licensing, it was solved by fansubbing.  If you guys all love GE999 as much as you say you do, why not sub it yourselves?  It's a lot more work than whining about it here, but the end result will be better.   :)

Lighten up... Anime is entertainment.  It is not in any way life-or-death, regardless of how much you like it.

And I can tell you (because I'm doing it) that learning Japanese is a lot easier than learning to be a doctor.  And the price of failure is much less.

As for my approach to life... I do what I'm able and get help when I need it.  I'm not saying you guys don't need help, but I am saying that you won't find it here.  I'm also saying that problems like this are within your power to fix yourself.

I learned all the foreigner languages I could when I was younger. Now I'm too old and - basically here is my true problem - I don't have the time to learn a new one! I definitely would, if I was just 15 years younger. Now I have to learn new difficult things in my life, like being an adult or something :-P
(If I only had "DNA Sight" like Daiba... Or a mechanical body? Hmmmm)

Anyway, Tofusensei suggested openly what we can do (and actually this is what I already do). The bottom line of the message is that it is up to us to continue in our local regions the amazing work that Live-eviL begun with Galaxy Express!

I'll personally try it and I bet many other fans gonna try it too. And If there is an interest for the later GE999 episodes, a solution soon or later gonna pop up somewhere in the internet. It always do with the Leijiniverse for 36 years now!

Meanwhile we thank truthfully the Live-eviL members for what they done so far with this series and we waiting for the Matsumoto surprises they preparing for us!

Well, I live in the UK and am region-locked, BUT, I've figured out a way to both watch and keep a copy of crunchyroll's episodes including the subs. If you haven't figured it out too, PM me and I'll gladly share my madness. Toodle-pip.

Thank you for getting up to 61 episodes, much appreciated my friend, I was wondering if they will finish this project and get all 113 episodes?

BTW, is it possible at all to DL these episodes at all?

Wow, I returned to LE to find out all this stuff about one of my favorite shows... this pretty much sucks for everyone involved.  I live in America but I'm not sure I want to throw money at Crunchyroll to be able to watch my anime, because it doesn't seem like a very stable site IMO... how have they not been sued yet?  O_O

And anyway... isn't it kind of ironic that suddenly everybody's getting all possessive with the show, when it was Live-Evil that helped make it so popular anyway?  Meh... I just want a DVD release, it's all I ever wanted with Harlock/GE999/etc.  I'd totally buy DVD's, but I don't want to buy streaming anime.  -_-

Yeah, Crunchyroll sucks, IMHO, so I don't blame you for feeling that way. I too would be happy if there was a DVD release for GE999 and Harlock some time in the future(preferably in the near future). I would buy up the DVDs in a heartbeat. Only time will tell if it becomes a reality or not.

Same here... For me the main difference between a proper DVD-Release and Crunchyblargh is the avaliability.
I live in Austria, so I can't stream that stuff ( also I wouldn't want to pay them for streaming ) - DVDs on the other hand can be imported from nearly everywhere ( if you have the connections ) and I'd pay any price for a GE999 DVD-Set!

So true, I'd gladly pay even Bandai Visual-type prices for an actual DVD set with subs. I tried streaming episodes on Crunchyroll, but the streaming q-q-u-u-a-a-l-l-i-t-t-y-y left much to be desired! :)

It used to possible to grab the smaller flv files, using websites like KeepVid and Clipnabber, for episodes they had up to watch smoothly and in your own time offline as of late January this year. However, CR have since changed how their videos load, and there's no way to directly download the flvs anymore. So now I'm stuck with very stuttered streamed videos as I don't have a dedicated server to purchase any of the region-locked downloads (that is, even if I wanted to!).

We can only hope that one day Toei can see the light, but I kind of doubt it! At least I was able to extract timed subs from the first half-dozen GE999 episodes and first 3 Harlock ones, but until someone works out how to download CR's flv files, I won't be watching any more of these.

Crunchyroll has stalled at episode 62. Still region locked. If they didn't sub any more past ep 62, would live-evil consider picking the series up again? And your info at the top of each page saying crunchyroll are subbing it for free is wrong. It should say crunchyroll hates europe and is subbing only for the USA & Canada.

Okay everyone, please refer to this thread: http://forum.live-evil.org/index.php/topic,879.0.html

And furthermore:
Crunchyroll has stalled at episode 62.

Think about that for a second...  In the 6 or 7 years since we started this project, we released 30 somethins episodes, whereas Crunchyroll has had over 60 in 2 months and yet you call that stalled?

As for the region lock, there's nothing we can do about that, but obviously there's demand for it elsewhere, so rather than complaining to us about it, why not talk to people and try to get it licensed in your area?  Sure, it's not that simple, but complaining here won't accomplish anything.

Actually, Direct2Drive, which has been hosting GE999 episodes since last year (although Live-Evil didn't yank all the episodes at the time then) now has some 85 episodes up on the site, which is no mean feat. For any viewers out there who are able to grab any episodes beyond 33, I salute you - and I hope you appreciate just how very, very, very lucky you are!

In the meantime, the rest of us are indeed screwed since Live-Evil as clearly explained above can't just pick the series back up again.

Have you seen how many pages the forum post complaining about region locks is on Crunchyroll's site? It was 39 last time I looked, and even then there hasn't been a comment from any of the guys that pose as "shinji" addressing fans' concerns.

Given that Toei isn't going to make these available for anyone else simply due to it not being a concern from them, and also given that I am perfectly willing to pay for legitimate copies of these episodes, I put out out an open call to anyone who has legitimate copies of these series; I will pay double the odds for each episode and give you timed extracted subs as I was able to grab from the few episodes of GE999 as detailed above. PM me if anyone is seriously interested in my offer.

Yes, as a region-locked fan I am that desperate. These shows are 30 years old. No branch of Toei in Europe or anywhere else is going to touch these with a 10 foot cattle prod.

You're only screwed in so far as you refuse to do anything for yourselves.

When I rediscovered Matsumoto several years ago, I fairly lucky because L-E had just picked up Galaxy Express, Central Anime had started Yamato and a few newer shows were available for rent locally.  But, Harlock 1978 was not available anywhere as far as I knew. To make a long story short, I and a few other Matsumoto fans got together and released a few episodes of Harlock based on the french dub. We then got permission to use the Corn Pone Flicks translations and were able to sub all of that series, and then started on Queen Millennia and Harlock SSX.

Anyways, I'm not saying you should start fansubbing or anything, but seriously, you have plenty of options.  Personally, as I am also region-locked, I plan to watch it next time I'm in north america.

Just what would these options be? Write emails to toei & crunchyroll? Done that. Post comments on their forums? Done that. Watch illegally via a proxy? No good as you can only watch the timed free-to-view episodes which take an age to become available. I want to be able to pay to watch when I want. Not everybody has the means to go to america to watch, and if you were seriously suggesting that as a legitimate solution, then I think a reality check is needed.  Bottom line IMHO, Toei did this to kill the fansub, they don't give a crap about genuine fans and live-evil folded on the fansub far too easily. They should've continued the fansub untill episodes were made available for everyone and yet I've never heard anyone from live-evil explain why this didn't happen.

Whoa, wait right there!
Are you suggesting the people here at L-E should have done something that could get them shut down just because Toei are a bunch of arseholes?

The Live-eviL stuff explained exactly WHY they canned GE999 and Harlock - because they got licensed. Period.

None of us are happy with how this turned out, but don't blame L-E!

Well why didn't heart of madness get shut down? They didn't stop subbing Hokuto No Ken aka Fist Of The North Star after Toei licensed it in the US and they are still going and have completed all 152 episodes. They are an example of what a fansub group should be like, they stuck with their project until the very end.

But it's hypocritical: they drop it after it's licensed in the US but not europe, yet they happily subbed it whilst it was licensed in Japan. The USA is not the whole world, only an increasingly marginalised part thereof.

'Licensed in the US' is a group policy, that stems from the fact that most members of the group, including the most illustrious mascot and leader, are in the US.  If a group from one of those non-licensed reasons wants to do it, that is their perogative.  He cannot offer direct assistance to such, but for what it's worth, they can have his blessing and moral support.

For those who feel the situation is hopeless, there are options.  The mascot acknowledged in Pigcast #103 "One battle is lost, but the war goes on.  Assuredly we have not seen the last of Yue-bing, but the sooner she is brought to justice, the sooner we can rest knowing that our remaining projects are safe from her menace.  No longer must Yue-bing be allowed to claw away at the hard-earned fruits of our labor.  Vigilance!  Do not despair, for the prophecy of the great unlicensing is draws closer with every day.  Already, the once-unthinkable has happened, one or the once-mighty banners has fallen down, and soon, all others shall follow."  To hear more words of encouragement from the mascot, be sure to tune in to Pigcast #104.  In the meantime, you can help by checking under every nook and cranny for the elusive and traitorous Yue-bing. 

Be advised that Yue-bing is dangerous, if you do catch sight of her, DO NOT confront her directly.  Give him a call on Skype, then sit back, relax, watch from a distance if you please.

And would you be able to watch when you want if DVDs were available, which so many of you claim you would buy?  No, you'd still have to wait (probably longer) for each disc to come out.

Not everybody has the means to go to america to watch, and if you were seriously suggesting that as a legitimate solution, then I think a reality check is needed.

I wasn't suggesting anything other than people quit complaining to us.

But speaking of reality checks, why would Toei spend who knows how much money to have these episodes translated just "to kill the fansub" when a simple cease and desist would do the trick?

We all know a c&d without a viable alternative to the fansub would in 9 out of 10 cases go unheeded. Indeed, Rumbel have continued to sub Gintama after it being licensed for streaming via crunchyroll and phantom subs plan to continue subbing Hitman Reborn after getting a c&d to stop. In fact, since they recieved their c&d, about 3 other subbers have continued the show in defiance of the c&d's.

Anyone looking at L-E's dropping record would realize that a C&D would work with this group.

As for Rumbel they immediately dropped Soul Eater when being C&D:ed, and it works with many other groups as well. Some continue, of course. The world is full of people with different views.

Let's look at the stuff we keep working with instead of the past, lots of goodies out there!  :)

With respect, if kaleyboy or anyone else wants to watch Galaxy Express 999, they have every right to watch the series of their choice and not watch an alternative instead.

Also on that note, to kaleyboy and everyone else thinking about pestering Live-Evil to try and make them change their mind - give up. I certainly know I'm giving up. I won't of course, let their edict in the face of Crunchyroll's "licensing" of the series stop me from trying to obtain Galaxy Express 999 episodes with English subs. But neither Live-Evil, Crunchyroll or indeed Toei themselves are either willing or able to do anything about letting people access the series in those few countries outside of the U.S. and Canada.

The only alternative that should be heartily recommended would be to obtain some way of masking one's IP address and circumventing either Crunchyroll's or Direct2Drive's website that way, signing up again through such a method, and simply grab the episodes yourself. It's clear that Toei simply doesn't care, and neither does anyone else. I know it's not fair that we have to jump through so many hoops to actually watch Galaxy Express, but there really is no other way, nor will there be in the future unless Crunchyroll pushes Toei to give them a worldwide license for the series, which is extremely unlikely since they've got so many of the big Japanese companies eating out of their hands due to their new region-locks, etc.

Therefore, I'd suggest that discussion here goes from simply complaining about the lack of Galaxy Express torrents to simply listing which borderline-illegal ways us Europeans can get remote access to Crunchyroll's or Direct2Drive's websites. I myself am looking at using Hide My IP, which is a pay program. However, let's face it, in the face of Toei's obstinacy, no price is too small to pay to get Galaxy Express! :)

If anyone has any other working methods, please let us know!

Post by: Ratatosk on April 01, 2009, 04:08:37 am
First, I want to say thank you for subtitling this while it was still unlicensed.. I started watching your translations of this and Harlock about 6 months before it was licensed. I would have been on the forums a lot more but for some reason wasn't getting the registration email, no matter how many times I tried... but yeah, thank you. I guess I was lucky in finding out about Galaxy Express when I did, as I am one of the unlucky European people so if I 'discovered' it now, it would be a lot harder to watch.. But fair enough, stick to your policy and I'm sure there are enough other shows out there that are worth using your considerable skills on without the threat of legal action..

So I decided to try watching the rest of it without subtitles. I don't know any Japanese apart from what I've picked up through a few years of watching anime, so I understand the most commonly used words/phrases but no specifics, but it isn't that hard to follow what's going on, especially for a show like this where so much of the awesomeness is atmosphere and imagination and music..
But I am hoping for some kind of english torrent to appear before I get to the end, because I'm sure theres a catch as to why she gave him the pass to start with, from this guy's idea of continuity it's not necessarily the same as in the film, and Im sure it will make bugger-all sense to a Gaijin like me without some kind of subtitlage.. or official DVDs, which I would buy like a shot. (Im even considering buying the manga in French, for fecks sake... and I am an English person who last attempted to read french in an exam aged 16 ::)).

But yeah, the point being.. My ongoing fascination with the universe that this is set in (along with at least 10 random drunk people who watched this late at night and didn't know what to make of it) is mainly your fault, so I thank you.  ;D X

(And how exactly do you download Funimation episodes?  My DownloadHelper firefox plugin doesn't work for it.  I was able to download Crunchyroll episodes by copying the temporary file it creates.  Are the episodes any better quality than at Crunchyroll?)
