Tantei Monogatari - Episode 3

I've not put out any episodes from this show since Feb. 2023...how embarrassing! Even more so considering this had (sorta) been nearly finished months ago, and probably could have been posted by then if I had put in the effort for it. However I did say I'd work on this at my own pace, so sorry for those who were expecting consistent uploads of these.

I'd like to put out maybe another episode or two this year, but as usual: no promises.

Anyways, in today's episode:
Shunsaku is tasked with wiretapping and following a female lawyer who’s representing a suspect involved in an arson case—the lawyer is digging into a possible insurance fraud scheme because she’s convinced her client is being framed, and it later gets confirmed when Shunsaku gets involved. They both team up to investigate this further while various people attempt to get rid of them through various means...


Also:
I don't usually post these kinds of TL notes on here, but for this specific episode I felt it could benefit from it this time.

Throughout the episode, Shunsaku visits an okama bar while following the aforementioned female lawyer—when he gets confronted by two thugs later, they begin to talk about the bar he visited earlier and one of the thugs refers to one of the workers as a "tranny".

I decided to go with "okama" for whenever Shunsaku refers to the bar's workers since he's clearly friends—if not, more—with them. Furthermore, unlike the thugs, he's not using the word as a slur. Seeing as how the thugs are, well, bad guys, and were clearly threatening the aforementioned bar worker earlier in the episode, I felt that leaving "tranny" in that one line would make sense. Considering the kind of people that are likely watching this show, they may already know this or be able to guess this based off context, but this is just a heads-up regardless!

Getter Robo Go - Episode 26

Rasetsu uses the Jaiganshin as a decoy to lure Getter Robo away from Big NISAR—Baron Yasha, with their newly-developed Metal Beast, uses this opportunity to sneak into NISAR and take control of the energy shield system to lock out Getter Robo & prevent them from re-entering. The Big NISAR crew race against time to prevent Baron Yasha from tracking down the shield generator, as its destruction can also result in the complete obliteration of Big NISAR itself.

(Side note: I feel like this plot was already done before, sometime earlier in the show—but I don't remember...)

The Kabocha Wine - Nita's Love Story (35mm 4k HD Scan)


https://nyaa.si/view/1777576
Fansub credits can be found in the link above.

Another collab with Kineko Video—this time it's a 35mm HD scan of a 24-min short film based off the anime "The Kabocha Wine"! This was originally screened at a festival Toei held where they also put up various movies they made, ranging from live-action to anime. For a while, this had only ever gotten a VHS release before getting its first ever DVD release 10-ish years ago or so—it was included in a compilation DVD of other movies from the festival Toei held.

I purchased this on 35mm quite some time ago but finally managed to get this scanned by the folks at Kineko recently. This still doesn't have an official HD release yet so this is as good as it will probably get for a while.

Anyways, for the plot: Nita brings home a puppy which the residents of Sunshine Academy begin to assume is his. Shunsuke, Elle, and the others help raise it, but a delinquent biker boy uses the opportunity to trick Elle into joining him on a yacht he owns. Shunsuke, having realized this, rushes in to save her before it's too late.

Enjoy!

Gai's younger brother comes over to visit as the whole Getter crew—Tetsu included—plan a short vacation trip to Hawaii. However, Rasetsu sends out a new sea-based Metal Beast that envelops one of Hawaii's islands in a giant cocoon, trapping its residents inside and forcing them to perform slave work for Lord Randou. Having discovered this, the Getter team (much to Gai's dismay, to an extent) leave Tetsu behind on Big NISAR as they set out to investigate the issue and take down the Metal Beast responsible for it.
