The Sacred Blacksmith 11-12 (1080p)

  And here's the end of this cute little show. Lisa is mine. The raws switched to FLAC for the last two episodes, and I didn't feel like reencoding the audio.

Shin Koihime Musou - Otome Tairan 08 (720p)

  Cat-Gilrs, giant elephants and boobs are the highlights of this episode. Quite funny, to me at least.

Moetan (DVD) (Show rating: 8/10)

Well, isn't this unexpected? Moetan got the least number of votes, yet here it is. Well, I always thought polls were kind of boring, so in a twist ending, I've decided to do the shows based on my poll, in reverse, from least votes to most. Now isn't that something?

Now, keep in mind I didn't do all these episodes. More then half were done by MBT, but the other ones didn't have a DVD version, so I decided to use Loidan's translation as a base for those. Hope you enjoy. Also, do NOT try to resume using episode 01 by Essedus. It's not the same file.

Torrent: Moetan (DVD) (and no, I'm not doing MU links)

PS: No, I'm not actually going through the poll in reverse. Just that the poll turned out to be redundant. I've already spoken with someone who will do Full Moon, so rather then both working on the same show, I've decided to help him. Same thing, but a little more uncertain, with Da Capo. Out of the three left, I did Moetan first because I already had 2 of 5 episodes completed. Next release by me will be for D4 Princess.

Shin Koihime Musou - Otome Tairan 07 (720p)

New episode: fights, childhood friends, and make up sex sleep.

About that poll...

Before anyone else asks, yes, I would actually try and deliver the DVD version of the winner*. I already have the raws for the series I added to the poll. However, feel free to suggest anything else, but following the following rules:

1. Series must NOT have a DVD/Bluray version with English subtitles either completed or ongoing (stalled for months is OK)
2. Series must have been subbed at some point in English (I will not translate myself, I do enough of that on current shows), and must be available for download in a reasonably accessible way. **
3. Raws must exist, and access to them must be relatively appropriate.

tl;dr version: suggest a show that was subbed, but has no DVD/Bluray version.

*: I will start this new series after I finish D4 Princess next month (first half)
**: If the group who's subs I am using objects to them being used, he/she may contact me and ask me to stop using them


Later edit: OK, forgot something important. I like anime like Needless, Nanoha, Gundam SEED, Bleach, etc. I'm a "mainstream" anime fan. I do not usually like overly experimental anime (Kuuchuu Buranko), I hate boring slow-moving plots (most Bee-Train), I don't like sports anime, and I have an aversion to ninja/samurai anime (don't know why, I just don't  like those historicalish types). Basically, I won't bother with the types of shows that get dropped by all groups for lack of interest (unless I'm personally interested), or get one group working on them (like Kuuchuu Buranko).

Shin Koihime Musou - Otome Tairan 01-04 (720p)

Here is what I released. It's an upscale, but it's decent. Do not replace this with the Bluray version when it comes out, because IMO, both should be kept as they have different scenes.

I Segreti Dell'Isola Misteriosa (Italian Dub)

Time for something different. This show (Kyouryuu Boukenki Jura Tripper) was never subbed in English and the Japanese raws are next to impossible to find. I grew up with the Italian dub version, and decided to share.

Video: 640x480, xvid
Audio: Italian, stereo, mp3, 192 kbps
Subs: No subtitles

Kodomo No Omocha 01-51 (DVD)

Here's another great show. Sadly, only episodes 01-51 have been released in R1. I will try to made some decent subs for the rest of the episodes in the future. Also, note that while these ARE done by AniMecha, I removed the English dub, as I saw it pointless.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's (720p)

Well, you see, Nanoha A's was broadcast in HDish quality some time ago. What was actually shown was the DVD version. Since I love Nanoha, even though there isn't much gain, as you can just get the DVD version, I decided to release this, just because it's Nanoha.

Third time is a charm

Well, this is my third attempt at making a blog that does not suck. We'll see how it goes. Gonna start posting releases soon. First it's going to be the long awaited (?) D4 Princess. This project was started long ago, stalled, and has now been resurrected. After that, I'm going to be doing something I've been wanting to do for a long time: Rental Magica DVD. And after that, who knows? But first, as a test of this damn blog, I'm going to post the first 10 episodes of The Sacred Blacksmith that I have been releasing these past months.
