Dr Slump – The Dragon Ball Episodes – PV


What’s this? A new show from Saizen? A show that’s 74 episodes long?! Don’t worry, Saizen fans, we haven’t lost our minds – we’ve decided to sub only the crossover episodes where a certain tailed child turns up in Penguin Village in search of an orb with stars on it and as much food as he can wolf down. Yes, Goku meets Arale and all her friends in a four-episode extravaganza of thrills, spills, and flying clouds. Hold on tight and enjoy the ride!

We don’t usually release PVs, but the team behind this project decided we wanted to do the preview from episode 55 so consider this a taste of things to come and watch this space for Goku and Arale flexing their sizable muscles.

Mitsuwano (Three Rings)

mitsuwano
We here at Saizen (along with our best buds, Ruri) present a bit of a change of pace from our usual sports-heavy release schedule to bring you Mitsuwano (Three Rings), a one-shot slice of life story about Mai, Midori, and Riko – three girls who are training to be maiko, which are considered to be apprentice geiko (the Kyoto equivalent of geisha). We hope you enjoy this brief glimpse into a section of Japanese culture that’s otherwise glossed over in anime, with a side helping of angst as the girls find out that the world of the geiko is just as competitive as any other.

And a few cultural notes to help you understand some of the finer points of the geiko world: Girls training to be maiko and geiko live in an okiya (a boarding house) run by a proprietress with the title “okaa-san” (Lit: “Mother”), which is a little confusing in this anime because the Mother of this particular boarding house is Riko’s biological grandmother. But the okiya is a tight-knit, familial environment in general, meaning that being related doesn’t elevate you above your “sisters and you are expected to perform the same chores, such as preparing meals, doing the laundry, and cleaning the boarding house. It’s also important to note that the anime takes place in Kyoto, which has its own dialect characterized by its politeness and modesty, to the point where it’s viewed as boorish for a native of Kyoto to use standard phrases instead of their Kyoto equivalents. This polite streak extends as far as calling the stove “Mr. Stove”, so if you’re wondering why everyone’s talking like they’re from a forgotten age, that’s why.

So without further ado, step into the colorful world of the geiko and the apprentices working their way up the chain to be seen as true daughters of Kyoto!

Want to donate to Saizen? Round 2

Thanks to Justin and Matthias who both donated to us so that we now own the Space Brothers #0 BD. We’re all extremely grateful to you for your contributions and hopefully we’ll have a subbed release of it sooner rather than later for all you Space Bros fans out there.

Remember, we’re still looking for another 187€ for our distro guy whose seedbox means all our torrents get from us to you, as well as running the Arutha irc bots that services most of the fansubbing groups out there. His server running costs are an eye-watering 500€ a month, so getting some toward this month’s costs, it keeps the lights on for that little bit longer. Head over to the donations page for more details on how to donate direct to him.

H2 – 07

H2 07 2

Do my eyes deceive me? Saizen has revived this project from the crypt where we keep all of our stalled projects to bring you the 7th episode of H2, and while it took a little while for us to get this out (read: 2 years), we hope you’ll enjoy this brief visit back to the adventures of the best battery in anime. Sadly, we can’t tell you when we’ll be able to take you back there again as our project team has been decimated by the relentless march of time, but we firmly believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way, so we’ll keep at it. If you, dear viewer, have any interest in helping us out with this show, jump over to our join page and let us know what you can offer.
