Ninku Batch+Drama CD Release

The deed is done. Went back and fixed every possible inconsistency within reason in the entirety of this show, OVA, and movie, and now I am satisfied enough to put out this batch once and for all. Within this batch, there is also a new release, and that is a Ninku Drama CD that came with the blu-ray box with the original cast reprising their roles. It’s pretty entertaining if you ask me, so enjoy, it’s only been 18 months since episode 55. A changelog of all the changes is here. Gonna also link the OVA and movie even if they are technically not Saizen releases per-se, but only the highest resolution versions. Here are the patches if you have the single releases for 29+ and Box 1 1-28 release. These were designed to be one click and patch all affected episodes at once (for TV), just follow the accompanying instructions.

P.S.: In other news, the Ninku manga is being actively scanlated by Oil Scans and can be read here. Also, Soldado-Subs’ site is indeed dead, but the domain is alive and I put it to good use by just making it a vanity discord invite here.

Ninku 54-55 END

Well, it’s been a long time coming, but after almost 7 years since we began subtitling Ninku from where our predecessors in Dattebayo fansubs left off, we have reached the end of the road and completed this one at long last. This has been an undertaking over 16 years in the making since Rice-Box released their one-shot of episode 1 back in 2004.

I was gonna write a long history post about Ninku’s fansubbing situation throughout the years, but I’ll leave it to someone more experienced than me to write that. So without further ado, here’s the list of credits of everyone who worked on this one over the years from here and over at Soldado-Subs.

With that being said, we do have just one more thing left to do, and that will be the Drama CD, which will be released with the final definitive batch once I am done going over the past episodes. Thank you all for sticking through with us over the years, it’s pretty surreal to say this project is done (batching aside), but you know what I mean. Enjoy these last two episodes and some parting words and/or funny quotes from the core team.

%bananadoyouwanna: When I first offered to quality check I was extremely motivated to get this done and then years passed… Ahem… Nevertheless, It was a fun show to work on!

@Eternal_Blizzard: It was a lot of work, but working with such a fine group of folks made this ride all the worthwhile. I’ll see what the future holds for me and how much I have left in the tank to keep on subbing.

%Collectr: I’m gonna take a break for a while. Ninku rots my brain.

@convexity: fuusuke’s just dumb. I dunno what to say

Ninku 49-50

Well, we’ve come to the end of the road, or have we? These two episode do indeed conclude the main story, but for some reason, we have another 5 more episodes after this one. So for all you completionists out there, stick around for some more comfy adventures. Joint with Soldado-Subs.
