After the success that was Magical Taruruuto-kun, Perevodildo and I are proud to announce another TV collaboration project (this time under a rather tragic group name...)—Toei Animation's Patalliro! from 1982.
This is not the first time anyone has touched this show, though. Another group by the name of "aarinfantasy" had already been subbing this show in English...
...since 2006.
Yes, you read that correctly. Not only that, but they have two episodes left to finish which they've been stalling on since 2023. I've nothing against this group but even if they did finish the show, it would have been due for a re-release anyways. Not only are their video raws insanely outdated and in poor quality (they are still releasing this show via .avi files in the 2020s...), but I took a quick glance at some of their recent episodes and the subs genuinely looked a bit questionable to me. Also, it's hardsubbed. Why does anybody still think this is okay?
That aside, this show has JP CCs available for the first 20 episodes, so why not re-translate it while we're at it?
I provided a new set of encodes for this project, taken straight from the DVDs & encoded by an anonymous user. These are a huge upgrade in quality compared to whatever aarinfantasy uses. Aside from the new raws, new typesetting has been implemented by Perevo, and these are being QC'ed by a trusted collaborator who got infected with the MLP virus.
Unfortunately, within the past few weeks or so, our beloved Perevo has gotten too much lead poisoning and has seemingly gone insane from it, having regressed back into a brony during the process. Sad! Consequently, this show is being released under the "LonelyPony" label, and the other group members associated with this project got hit with whatever it is Perevo has & have reverted to using MLP aliases for this project. Probably the third-biggest tragedy of 2026 next to Yuji Ohno & Nozomi Aoki passing away, but who am I to say that?
Anyways, please look forward to this project. We'll release the other episodes whenever we can—grab this from the usual spot.
