Eeks! After an experiment by part-time student, part-time evil scientist Maejima-kun goes horribly wrong, lots of kitchenware and utensils start running amok and attacking people. Can Kabamaru survive the savage pot-and-pan invasion? Or will he succumb to the onslaught of boiling soup, whisked eggs and barbecue skewers? Find out in episode 10 of Igano Kabamaru.
Hi, merry followers of Saizen! Here in Saizen, we’re always looking out for potential projects to fill the void when our current ongoing series have ended. At the moment, with Igano, Ashita no Joe, Captain Tsubasa and Yawara all being pretty much midway through, there’s no rush for us to pick up any more series – and in fact, it’d probably put too much strain on the group to produce any more series. But one series has caught our eye that we would potentially like to produce subs for in the near future (Read: when any of those series ends). I present Sasuke: a popular series made in the late 60s about a young ninja who’s on the run because he and his father have been charged with war crimes. The penalty: death.
This series was a precursor to a lot of ninja series you see nowadays and there’s no doubt that shows like Naruto owe a lot to Sasuke. The only issue we’re having is this 29-episode title is out of print. No DVDs are currently on sale except for ridiculously high secondhand prices on amazon.jp. So we thought we’d give this a try – if there’s anyone out there who already has the DVDs, we are requesting the ISO’s so that we can produce a good sub of it for all the wonderful people who download our junk. There was an Italian version released at some point, as far as we can tell, so that might make the raws easier to come by, but unfortunately without the raws, Saizen’s hope of subbing this series will remain a pipedream.
This has been a public service announcement by Saizen. We thank you for your attention.
P.S. You can find a trailer for the series here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9h7fmy20D0 (it might spark a few memories!)
“Hi there. Remember me? Yes, it’s Kabamaru-kun. You know… the one with the crazy ninja skills? Never mind. I’ve fallen on hard times recently – the tuition fees at Kingyoku cleaned me out – so I had to get a part-time job to pay my way. I met this director (well, he had a camera at least) who told me I had the right face for adult entertainment, so I started doing some shooting with Poopy for his next film. I’ve now perfected the ‘flying rape’ technique which is really fun. I’ve linked the video below. Hope you enjoy it. Gimme a call if you want to cast me in anything. Peace.”

And now to take a trip down Memory Lane. In this episode, Kabamaru recalls how his Gramps used to be a bodyguard for a famous actress. Here they are, shooting a scene to one of her most critically-acclaimed films Waterworld, when the actress in question started struggling with the rush of water. But don’t worry, our favorite old codger dived in and saved her. What a man! Oh wait, she’s dead? Bummer…
And here comes episode 7 for you! In this episode, Kabamaru goes to a stunt show where he sees this exciting motorbike stunt! He also runs for a bit, but that’s probably not as interesting to the plotline as the above snapshot. Enjoy!

So we’ve cut our release time by a third to bring you ep 6, which isn’t bad going, right? In episode 06, Kabamaru finds out that he has superpowers and uses his newfound power of flight to fly to the nearest yakisoba eatery. He considered making a cape and a costume, but found that these required too much effort and just made him hungry again.
Enjoy!

I’d like to add that we’re in a situation of desperate need of quality checkers in Saizen, so if you think you’re up for it, please apply by sending an e-mail to saizen.recruits@gmail.com
