I don't think it has too much fanservice--all the screencaps I've seen of it would be rated PG (and when there's fanservice, it's usually the first thing to get screencapped...). It sounds like a decent OVA, about a baseball team that gets a Multi-like android to help them win a big game. Hopefully someone picks it up to fansub or it gets licensed (although for a one-shot OVA, R1 DVD is probably asking a lot...).
Although having said there's not much fanservice, Azusa is a little more payo payo than Multi: http://cynthia.yoko.ne.jp/nowanime/i...58744_0002.jpg |

Anyone thinking of Subbing Angelium
Was just woundering if any groups out there where intrested in subbiing Angelium it sounded a little strange but something that would probly be good for a laugh and good to watch. I like all Anime even if its a Little Wierd, variety is the spice of life after all. Ya gotta try everything even if you dont like it someone else might.

Tonde Buurin Bu
Has anyone ever heard of Tonde Buurin Bu before? As far as I know it's not currently being fansubbed. Actually, there doesn't seem to be much of anything on it. (I only got about 30 results for it on google.) It looks like it's a spoof on Sailor Moon only the girl turns into a pig. Anyway, I thought it looked somewhat amusing and wondered if there's any chance of it being subbed.

SachiGumi used to offer something like the first 8 episodes on video tape. Or at least last time I looked they did, their site doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Don't think I've seen then available for download.
If you look around some of the sites, such as AniDB, AnimeNfo and ANN, you get some summaries of it. Certainly Magical Girl genre, as you say, the heroine turns into a pig (but at least a Magical Super Pig...) |

Yes, I've seen the entire series. BTW, the name is only Tonde Buurin without that final "bu".
You google search will find many more hits if you try it without that "bu" or using Tonde Boorin or Super Pig. The best page seems to be this. Hitoshi Doi's site should also be consulted. Super Pig is the name that was used when the series was shown in several different countries. The interesting thing is that distribution was done by Saban, using an adaptation made for the series to be shown in the USA. For instance, all the characters have american names. Kokubu Karin became Kassie Carlen What else could you expect from Saban ? An American dub was produced but, as far as I know, it wasn't never shown in the USA, but Fox Kids has shown it (using the Saban version) in several European and Latin American countries. I don't know of anyone fansubbing it these days, but the 12 first episodes were fansubbed on tape in the past, by Blackdeath Studios. Groupe Virelai lists it as a future project. You can get the fansubs on tape (and maybe on DVD) from Mokkori Ippai. It's a great series and it would be a nice project for any group. And it isn't a Sailor Moon spoof. Why people need to think every magical girl show is a Sailor Moon clone ? Magical Girls shows existed long before Sailor Moon was created. |

So it seems to be in a bit of a grey region. While it may not have been shown in America, it may have had a TV release in an English speaking country. Not aware it has been shown in the U.K. If we (AnimeSuki) would consider if licensed or not is unsure. Do you have more info as to an English release? |

The full name of the show is Ai to Yuuki no Pig Girl Tonde Buurin, as it says right on the tape covers. I saw a few episodes. Karin, the main character, is awfully cute - one of the gimmicks of the show is that she is rather embarrassed about changing into a fat pink pig. A boy she really likes becomes a huge fan of Buurin (of course!). The best episode I saw featured women wrestlers.
I think the English dubs of the show were for the Phillipines. |
