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.
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.
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!
Edit:
If you’re archiving our releases, get the v2, otherwise ignore. ^^

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!
Edit:
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

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.
