Ashita no Joe – 22

Yo!

As always, never make promises! Can’t believe I never learn… I’m still gonna go ahead and promise episode 23 fairly soon, though. ^^;
And we can still need more staff to join our ranks if anyone is interested. It doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be AnJ-specific, even though those are welcome too. 😉

About the actual episode: Rikiishi leaves the prison, but I can assure you that even though the most badass person in the series leaves, this and the next episode have still been awesome!

Ashita no Joe – 21

Yo.

First I’d like to say, no, we don’t intend to release this on a daily basis. Second, don’t you just love when Ashita no Joe is released? =)
Things are suddenly looking much brighter for AnJ, mostly thanks to our editors that came back from the dark lands of the IRL, but also Hokuto no Gun.
Hopefully we can bring you at least one new episode as soon as the next week. =)

Stay tuned!

Ookiku Furikabutte S2 – 12.5 & Batch

Yo!

I bet most of you had forgotten about this by now, but better late than never. ^^
We also made a v2 of ep12, since the preview changed in the BD. We also did some additional QC and TLC etc.
Thanks for supporting Saizen!

PS. Episode 12.5 is about as fun as the picture suggests, or…?
PPS. We need another QC for AnJ and an editor for PoT OVA4 and CT2002. Please apply at saizen.recruits@gmail.com.

Ashita no Joe – 19

Hi.

So like, this show’s been stalled for aeons. You might ask, “Why the hell did you do that for?” Well, not much to say, Calan quit subbing so we had no editor… again (editors that actually knows English and are just a tiny bit active seems to be a rarity).

After months of wait, U238Willy finally stepped in, and as he finally caught up with our releases he had more urgent business in real life to attend to. So there we were… again… without an editor. The next white knight in shining armor was Dasbouef, and he actually managed to edit two episodes, this being one of them. After that something not so extraordinary around Saizen happened, and I’m not even gonna tell you cause I believe you should all know that by now…

Anyway, this happened right in the middle of discussing a joint with Hokuto no Gun (HnG), luckily we had a recruit, Henchum, taking the editing test by the time, that actually passed, believe it or not.

We also lost a lot of translators along the way, but managed to get till ep24 translated, at least. We have high hopes for this joint and Henchum; this might be what AnJ needed to get back on its feet. At least there’s a full team and active staff around right now, so I guess we should hurry and get as many episodes out now as possible, since if there’s one thing I’ve learned, working on AnJ, it’s that it doesn’t last. lol

So here I’m hoping for plenty more releases and a bright future for Ashita no Joe! ^^

tl;dr

Enjoy and beware of Joe’s Fists of Fury!

PS. We decided joint-tag will appear as soon as we deliver episodes with a jointed effort to you guys. ^^
PPS. Special thanks to Henchum for QC-applying and kokujin-kun for additional TLC.

Slam Dunk – 01-26 Batch

Yo!

Possibly the last releases of Slam Dunk from yours truly. It’s been great fun, and I think it’s sad to stop where we’re at, but without more translations we can’t keep going any longer. Not all hope is lost though(!), there’s still a small chance left we’ll be back.

Anyway… It’s been a bumpy ride and we haven’t been especially fast, but I love this show and I’d like to end by saying:

Thanks for the ride.
