(L) Hatenkou Yuugi (Dazzle anime adaption)

[changeup]

If only all the other series can learn from this one, so that we can save hours or even days in watching meaningless filler scenes and still pictures!!!

[Neki Ecko]

Hmm, let me see.

First of all, I have a chance to read some of the manga, that I really like. So I have high hopes about this series and so far, it has. The relationship between Rahzel and Alzeid is pretty solid and you have to love Rahzel personally. I hope that someone subbed this.

finish watching first episode, not bad, story look interesting, drawing and quality good as well, Rahzel look cute

[masama]

is this anime based on a shoujo manga? this anime certainly gives me that vibe, not exactly a fan of shoujo and lovey dovey stuff myself. But the comedy certainly makes up for it, hopefully we'll see more throughout.

The 1st episode is very good.

Hatenkou Yuugi, the manga, is shoujo-ish but is definitely not a lovey-dovey shoujo manga. It's an action adventure shoujo manga. At times, it can get surprisingly graphic and violent. (Tokyopop was caught off-guard by the series. It originally rated the series as Teen, but upped it to Older Teen after some rather disturbing crime scenes in later volumes.) In Japan, the manga runs in the same magazine that publishes Saiyuki and Loveless. It's aimed at a similar reading market if that gives you any insight into the kind of audience this is geared towards.

Action Shoujo!

Providing they keep up with what they delivery in ep1 then I'm happy with it. Not that I hate a good love story, just I don't think too far into it. So I usually switch focus to something else when that sort of things pop up.

[Ookla The Mok]

The more violent and disturbing content started in volume 2, but it took until volume 5 before the rating caught up with it.

The volume 4 chapter that the 2nd episode is based on has one of the highest body counts in the series, at least until volume 6. Eh heh heh.

[Kaoru Chujo]

Rahzel is a fascinating character. And Kobayashi Sanae is outstanding as her voice. I liked the comic suddenness and offhandedness of some things.

The concept of action shoujo certainly appeals, even to someone like me who likes romance shoujo.

As for subs, LolitaDecay, the fansub wiki says that three groups are planning to sub it: Shinsen, Ijimeko, and possibly Generation neXt.

Thank you for the info ^^

w3g Fansubbing journal entry #01

Since I have nothing better to do this weekend, I have decided to fansub this series. By myself. And thus, my journey into the unknown world of fansubbing started today.

Step 1: Secure a raw.
Completed in 1 hour, piece of cake.

Step 2: Translate everything into english on notepad.
Completed in 4 hours, time flies when you are having fun.

Step 3: Learn to time with SSA.
Learnt so much doing this. SSA program requires a wav file for effective timing, and the wav file is created from avi with VirtualDub program. Open both translation text and wav file in SSA, and this step becomes easy as cake.

Step 4: Create container file for raw + subs
To preserve raw quality, use mkv format. And creating mkv is so much faster than other methods. The whole process, including downloading, installing mkvtoolnix, figuring out the program and getting mkv created, took less than 15 minutes.

Last step: Distro
Just when the finish line seems so close at hand, the unstoppable force sets in. My ISP hates bittorrent, and blocks every single port and connection it can. This simply means I can't seed the file at home. That just leaves 2 options: Use http direct download, or find someone who can do distro for me.

[Impz]

Sigh, I wish the subs for english is out soon so that more people can be exposed to this great series. I really fell in love with it, especially after the second episode came out. That said, I also blogged on the summary + screenshots of Episode 2.

Hope that it will quench the thirst for those who wants a glimpse of what happened, and leave a comment on the blog if you want ^_^

[w3g]

Edit 2-
Finally have BT running smoothly, many thanks to Deathkillz for the help!

Download Episode One

Comments if possible ^^ This is my first sub after all.

[Deathkillz]

Wow w3g gambare!!

ep 2

Spoiler:

Ahh...another good ep
The story was easy enough for me to understand, but thx to impz for the summary so I can check on ^^
Kyaa the characters are so lovable I must say Baroqueheat made me laugh so much with his perverted ways - can you imagine he got locked up for being a pervert haha! He then went rubbing on Rahzel - the yaro! XD
Rahzel is surprisingly tough and mature for her age. At first I thought she would be less attractive character wise, but her sharp, quick and lawl comments keep me interested. She isn't a bad fighter as well.

Alzeid also shows more of his coolness. He is scary XD you just know that you aren't meant to mess with the guy when his glare is enough to scare away rabid dogs! But he does have a sense of humor as well being the first one to start off the "baldy" comment...they it was just a free for all

For now it seems rather episodic...maybe this is one of those series that go on that way before hitting each character's past. Ahh I can't wait to see those development arcs

[Ookla The Mok]

w3g, you should announce your torrent in this forum: http://forums.animesuki.com/forumdisplay.php?f=26
so they can add it to the front page of animesuki.

[LolitaDecay]

Thanks w3g!

Thanks for subbing this. My daughter reads the manga, and I'm sure she'll enjoy it.

My only concern is that the torrent is hosted at thepiratebay. Many of us would prefer that our IP addresses not show up on their trackers since they're just too visible and host too much illegal material. (Yes, I know fansubs are strictly illegal, too, but there's a big difference in visibility between an episode of this show and a full-length Hollywood movie ripped from DVDs or captured with a camera in a theater.) So if someone could help you relocate this, and more importantly future, torrents to a tracker like scarywater, I think that would be a good idea. (I also don't know whether AS will list torrents hosted at thepiratebay, either.)

[Pikaru]

when i click the torrent it says error not a file. I don't know what is going on. Could anyone tell me why?

[Deathkillz]

It works for me
And sorry about the dodgy tracker...this is my first time uploading anything so I pretty much picked it are random ie the first one on the list.

[w3g]

Both the link above and the one on AnimeSuki torrent page works fine for me, on both IE and FF. But just in case, here is the direct download. Use torrent if possible, ddl and seeder server already tore through 25g of transfer in last 10 hours.

@ SeijiSensei, sorry the scarywater tracker is too much trouble right now. There is no automated registration, and I probably don't have the energy to install+figure out IRC and contact their admin to set things up. (hates IRC from long time ago) The pirate torrent will have to do for now since every single major torrent site uses them. Unless someone do the scarywater registration for me...

Am 1/2 way through the script for episode 2, ssa file will be ready soon, but still can't find decent raw to go along with it.

The OP and ED proves quite tedious to translate. Can't figure out a few lines for the life of me. If only the lyrics are available somewhere...

[inthemirror]

I PMd you, but I have the opening romaji and Kanji, and I am currently working on the ending. ^_^
