Batsu & Terry (1987)

Another collaboration between perevodildo and I, released under our "LonelyDildo" tag.

This project has some complicated history behind it. Not "complicated" to the point that it's essay-length or anything, but rather in the sense that what went down behind the scenes would probably have you thinking "lmao did all of that seriously happen?".

I won't sugar-coat it—I'm not completely innocent in this, as some of it does involve some pretty stupid stuff I did which I should have never done in the first place. Regardless, the short (and considerably condensed) version is this:

Another group (you can probably already guess which one if you dig deep enough) had been working on this since at least '24—Perevodildo and I had been informed sometime in the summer of '25 that that group was supposedly making new progress on the movie, but some time had passed by without any of us seeing anything further come out from it. Considering the history of the group at hand, we both had reasonably assumed that it was going to be stalled yet again, so we made the decision to just go forward with our own release instead.

Ultimately, that other release ended up getting posted first before Perevodildo and I could finish ours. However, despite it already having been uploaded, we still are deciding to move forward with our version for two reasons. Number 1 being that we already put in enough work & effort into this release of ours that we don't want to trash it now, and number 2 being that the other group's release has a couple of flaws in it that gives us the opportunity to put out a better release.

• Better encode quality—the other release uses a capture that was recorded with Domesday equipment. Despite that, the encode looks really yellow-tinted. Additionally, due to how badly this anime was mastered for LaserDisc, there are a lot of details everywhere that look really jagged—the encode used by the aforementioned other group does not fix this. The encode used for our version, also recorded with Domesday equipment, fixes those jagged details whenever applicable, has better colors, and overall looks less noisy. An encode comparison between the two releases can be found here:

• Better audio quality—the other release uses lossy AAC audio; ours utilizes FLAC audio and also has had some touch-ups by Krycek7o2, who assisted with removing the hum from the audio & making sure both channels had an equal amount of volume.
• Bonus goodies—the LD release of this anime contained a trailer for it. For whatever reason, the other group omitted it, so we decided to go ahead and sub it ourselves. Trailers for Dirty Pair: Project Eden and Royal Space Force were also included in the LD, but the latter was excluded from this release as they're already in HD and likely subbed in English anyways. The former, on the other hand, was subbed & included since neither perevodildo nor I could find any evidence of it having been subbed in English anywhere.
  
  Additionally, we also included a FLAC copy of the OST, ripped from CD—this had already been uploaded publicly long ago, but just in MP3 only. Up until now, the FLAC version had only been locked behind private community sites, so I purchased & obtained a new rip of the OST. I also included my own scans of the OST's LP version.

The site where these releases usually go already contains the credits of those who contributed to this project, but considering the grand scale of it, I've decided to go and post them here too. A big thank you to the following folks:

Raw Capturing — FatGooGooBabies
Encoding — Anonymous
Audio Touch-Ups — Krycek7o2
QC — Paul Geromini & imatu
Trailer Typesetting & Movie Title Logo Typesetting — Windii
OST Ripping — squidlin
LP OST Scan Fixing — Kaleia78

Note: this is not the final version of this release. There are more additional goodies I wanted to include in here, but they realistically won't be ready for quite a while since the people working on them are quite busy with other stuff. I'll post a v2 of this with said goodies once they're ready.

Tongari Boushi no Memole - Episode 18

Oscar does some digging around for information surrounding the "shooting star" (AKA the ship that Memole & her people arrived to Earth on) and ultimately discovers a small island where he suspects the star crashed onto—that small island being the very same one where Planet Riruru's habitants currently reside on. Fearing that the villagers will get discovered regardless of whether or not Oscar tracks it down, Memole and her friends devise a plan to lure Oscar away from the island as much as possible.

Super Dimension Century Orguss 02 — Final Batch Release

This project had actually been in the works for a while despite me never posting anything about it on the blog (as in multiple episodes had been getting released and I just never mentioned them in here), but now that this title is finally finished, I felt it was appropriate to go & post this on the site.

Usually I talk a bit about the history of a project and how it came to be or what circumstances unfolded that convinced me to pick it up, but unfortunately there isn't much to talk about for this anime. The short version is that I heard from another subber in 2023 that Orguss 02's English "subs" were really just dubtitles, and I offered to collaborate with user "ImAWasteOfHair" on getting this re-subbed when I heard he had the same plans for doing the exact same thing too.

That's really it, although the project admittedly took more time to finish than I expected. Crazy that the first episode was released in 2023(!!!) and the concluding episode was finally released last month (nearly three years later... whew!) but despite everything, all the episodes managed to get released in one way or another.

Now, I had actually talked about this on Twitter already, but this batch introduces a lot of new changes for all of the episodes. I understand that not all followers of this blog use Twitter, so I'll post below all the highlights of this batch:

• New typesetting—we switched to a new font for the main dialogue at Ep. 5(?), but aside from that, the rest of the typesetting throughout this project was kept pretty basic. I took it upon myself to update this project with better fonts for on-screen signs & dialogue—this was implemented in Ep. 6's first release back in January but all of the previous episodes now carry the same fonts for consistency. Additionally, thanks to Windii, the OP and the text introduction in Ep. 1 have both now been typeset as well.

• New encodes—we were previously using Bunny Hat's set of raws for this project, but it wasn't until some time last month when I noticed that the raws seemed to be... pretty small in size, which I thought was suspicious. TL;DR is that they might have been "great" for its time, but in the current age, they're really not good. At all. Not only were they severely compressed (resulting in notable quality loss), but somehow even the colors were changed, too; it's not Toei-levels of bad, but it's definitely noticeable. Admittedly this does change things, as I was under the impression that these raws—to some extent—were a close representation of what the BDs generally look like. I can see now that's not the case, though...
  
  Naturally, I wanted the best for this project, so I acquired new raws. The quality is considerably better here and the anime's original colors (as presented on the BD) are also preserved as well. Click here for a Slowpoke Pics comparison between the old raws by Bunny Hat and the new raws. Just a general note—due to the way that site operates, there's a chance the pictures might expire in a few years from now, so I'll try and update this post accordingly if that ever happens.

• Ep. 4 Timing—I had been re-timing these episodes during my initial QC passes for this project throughout the years in which I had been working on it. As such, this meant I had re-timed Ep. 4 too. After the standalone release of Ep. 6 was put out last month, I decided I'd re-watch the whole OVA just to check & see if I missed anything; Ep. 4's timing was very different than what I remembered it to be... worse, even.
  
  Well, as it turns out, ImAWasteOfHair accidentally used the old version with the bad timing (the initial version before I had re-timed it) and applied all the edits to that version before muxing it & putting it up for DL on Nyaa, resulting in a release that was different from what we intended to put out in the first place 💀
  Sasuga!!
  
  In any case, the episode was re-timed... again, by both Yume and I 😅

• Miscellaneous changes—the timing for the theme songs and some other typos that slipped through previously have been fixed. Some of the episode names & other military terminologies have been adjusted too. 

Other minor edits to various lines here and there were made, but it's nothing that warrants being mentioned, if you ask me.

A final note—it's somewhat related to this title, so I'll go and mention it. There were two VHS releases for this OVA; the first release came in 3 tapes, each one containing two episodes. The second release was one episode per tape. In the first release, and only the first release, they had actually included in a behind-the-scenes extra at the end of the tape, documenting the process for this OVA and how it was made. To my knowledge, these are VHS-only—I managed to grab the first two tapes but am still desperately seeking the third tape. Once I grab ahold of it, I'll absolutely sub these extras as I'm a sucker for them!!

Anyways, consider this to be the most essential release of this OVA, for now. Grab this from the usual spot.

Tongari Boushi no Memole - Episode 17

 

Memole loses her hat one day when trying to fly back home with Bobo—her grandpa requests that Memole go & retrieve it due to it being a keepsake from Memole's mother and because of the fact that it can reveal the existence of Riruru's inhabitants if it were found by another human. Unfortunately for Memole & Marielle, the hat is acquired is Oscar—a boy who moves in to the same area that Marielle lives in, who also just so happens to be interested in the discovery of tiny aliens and the such...
