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.
