Akakichi no Eleven - Episode 43 + Reflection on 2025

Final fansub release of the year, this was just something I felt like doing for shits and giggles. Despite the way that was worded, I assure you this isn't a meme-sub or anything of the sort—this is genuinely translated from scratch.

No, I'm not picking this show up, it looks like dogshit.

As always, this can be found at the usual spot.

That aside, I also wanted to quickly reflect on the uploads I made this year. I'm pretty content in that this year I managed to post a specific single release that took years to work on, and this was also the year in which I finally managed to complete two TV-related projects that had also been in the works for quite a while now. I'm genuinely happy with how that turned out!

Likewise, there were a few other uploads I put out this year which didn't hit big as much as I had hoped, which is incredibly disappointing given the circumstances surrounding some of those releases. Some of it can be attributed to Musk being a stupid little shit and changing Twitter's algorithm for the worse recently, and some of it can also be attributed to not enough people having enough interest to retweet said release posts. A shame, but not much I can do there beyond this point.

I don't really know where 2026 will take us next TBH. I can say for sure that some of my current WIP projects (a few of which I've recently made publicly known at this point) will definitely come out in the early months of 2026, but beyond that... who knows. I hope for the best, though.

Thanks to anybody who's stuck around with me within these past years, and I hope you all look forward to whatever future releases might be around the corner soon. 

Lightning Superhuman Gridman - Episodes 06 ~ 10

 

Today may not be Christmas, but I've decided to post this early anyways because why not. Episodes 06 through 10 of Lightning Superhuman Gridman are now up with English subs.

Couple of notes (a few of which are maybe semi-related to this batch):

• 35 episodes of this show have now been translated by Yume—none of the episodes past 10 have been checked, of course, but I can safely say that sooner or later the whole show will eventually be translated in its entirety. Now it's just a matter of how quickly I can edit them, though...
• Did I tell you JP transcripts exist for this? No? Well, guess what—I didn't know they existed either until a couple days ago!! Yume uncovered a JP blog containing transcripts for the entire show just as he had gotten to working on the show's final episodes LOL, at least just for the prominent characters. Can't promise that this will help speed up the project, but it'll definitely make it easier for editing—that much, I can say.
• Starting from Episode 06 and onwards, I'm utilizing a new font for the episode titles and for the names of the monsters whenever they appear on-screen. I tweaked Ep. 01 ~ 05 so that they'd have the same changes too, but I'm not intending on uploading v2's for those anytime soon—preferably, I'd like to save them for the final batch. 01 ~ 10 might need a v2 anyways depending on what those newly-found transcripts reveal, but nothing is set in stone yet.

That's about all I got. You can find this at the usual spot. 

Tongari Boushi no Memole - Episode 15

 

Memole gets invited by Marielle to sleep over at her house—her grandpa attempts to convince her to not go since she supposedly still wets her bed, but Memole is determined to overcome that by attempting to stay up all night at her house. Meanwhile for Marielle, Ms. Penelope forces George to reveal to her that he intended on getting a toy house set for Marielle, so she secretly hides a tape recorder in there to discover what Marielle's true intentions with it are...

Tongari Boushi no Memole - Episode 14

 

Despite Memole's village having found a cure for toothaches long ago, Torirone is revealed to have a cavity which he's kept on him due to it supposedly being able to sense danger—however, it really only brings him pain whenever Forten plays his violin. Trouble brews around the village when a concert hall is constructed for Forten to play his music there, which Forten rejects as he wants to play in an open-air concert hall—much to Forten's dismay.

An Update on Getter Robo Go

  

I've probably already tweeted about this at some point but I can't be arsed to backtrack & confirm that—and I'm well aware that I have blog followers that don't follow me on Twitter anyways, so... here's a blog post I wanted to put out regarding the progress on my Getter Robo Go fansubbing project.

TL:DR - No, it's not dead, but don't expect anything for a while.

So with Galatt & the Borgman TV anime both out of the way for now, you'd expect Getter Robo Go to progress as smoothly, right? Regretfully, that is not the case here—the show will still need quite some extensive editing before I can start putting out new episodes again.

Firstly: my timing preferences have changed throughout the years—what I originally considered okay for this show's early episodes have now become an annoyance for me to look at. The worst part is I don't remember either at what point the episodes' timing slowly began to shift into what my preferences are nowadays. Maybe it might have been around Ep. 25 but I'd have to re-watch everything from Ep. 01 to 30 to fully confirm that.

Secondly: this really should have been decided from the project's conception, but the show will now be receiving additional QC assistance. I've previously pointed out on Twitter that there were some glaring typos & errors I missed throughout these episodes, with one of the earlier episodes having a typesetting error that was so huge I was genuinely shocked nobody ever thought to bring it to my attention at all. One user who has frequently assisted me on my projects has agreed to QC this but it won't be a short task given the number of episodes in this anime and the number of other projects this user is also QC'ing.

Third: well, this one isn't a final "point" or anything, but just something I wanted to address. I've stated multiple times before that I want to put out Batch 2 before resuming with more episodes and I am still holding true to that.

"Marty, why don't you just release Batch 2 without the QC implementations?"

Episodes 01 through 14 are already at v2. If I re-released them again now as they are, they would be at v3 for the typesetting & timing changes. They'd have to be re-released as v4 after that to account for the QC'ing. I want the v3's for Ep. 01 ~ 14 to be the final ones as I really don't want to update them again after that, so if I can fit in everything without the need for further revisions then that would naturally be better for me. 

That's really all I got right now. I don't want to half-ass this show and I really want to give it the same level of quality as Galatt & Borgman, so I hope you all understand.
