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.

Marty subbing toku... who would have thought?
(This won't be the last time, but that's another story for another time)

I had heard for a while that the live-action Gridman show has... really bad official English subs. Matter of fact, Gridman was one of those shows that I wanted to check out eventually but the lack of an actual good-quality release resulted in me putting a low priority on checking it out.

It seemed like someone was going to scrub the subs years ago, but only episode 1 was put out and the project got dropped afterwards for some unknown reason I don't know of—despite the subber still being active nowadays...

I randomly got the urge to check out Episode 1 many months ago, and... despite the somewhat dated production values, I really liked it! It's got an interesting premise and I enjoyed the idea of having cyber heroes fight off villains looking to wreck the real world via "digital" means. And so—seeing how nobody else was seemingly going to fix up the subs any time soon...

I decided to do it myself :)

Episodes 01 ~ 03 are the /m/subs release, but with various lines tweaked & re-timed here and there. Episodes 04 & 05 are translated from scratch by Yume—and the rest of the show, going forward, will be TL'ed from the ground up too.

The show is currently translated up to episode 9—more & more episodes will be translated in the following months, but they will still need to be edited by me. The plan after this release was to upload the remaining episodes one by one (and do batch releases later), but maybe I might just do batches of five instead like with today's release. This is subject to change though, it's not final!

That said, enjoy these subs. They're a huge improvement over the official Mill Creek release and really deserve this treatment!
