Old Castle Fansubs - Guest book

Panino Manino • July 10, 2019, 2:34 a.m.

Wandering Sun #24 I still don't understand what Michiko was trying to do, and why she did. Can someone explain?

And how convenient what happening with Nozomi's father...

Retro • July 10, 2019, 1:31 p.m.

I originally watched the series as a teenage, raw, so I missed a few details before. I originally thought Mr. Koda was the man Michiko was dating, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I guess Michiko indiscriminately wanted to get revenge on somebody else, who she knew would have a good life due to wealth? It's kind of strange. If anything, it makes Michiko just seem extra crazy.

Panino Manino • July 16, 2019, 12:48 a.m.

But if I'm not remembering wrong, in the beginning there's even a scene with Michiko in front of the Koda house talking about how he suffered "there". And in the beginning don't she acts and talks like she intentionally wants to make Nozomi, the real Koda's child, suffer? Wasn't that the reason why she helped Miko so much?

Not that her actions made much sense anyway, very contradictory all the way.

Panino Manino • July 16, 2019, 12:50 a.m.

And this episode 25... that thing in the end of the episode is really for real? For what purpose? It's just another side effect of the crazy war scarred mentality of those times?

Retro • July 22, 2019, 12:29 p.m.

You're absolutely right, there's a huge plot hole. In the first episode it's established Michiko used to live in the Koda house, and "suffered" (presumably was a maid). It's also stated she knows the Mine family, and was the one who got Nozomi into Miki's school. All of these are thrown out of the window in episode 24. It's very clear neither the Mine or Koda family know Michiko at all. It's a really jarring plot hole.

Hey there!

I was wondering, if you own the Sasurai no Taiyou DVD, if you could upload the full length songs from the series? There's a bonus DVD with every song. Or atleast Nozomi and Miki's two songs? Thanks!

Pia • July 9, 2019, 2:19 a.m.

Recently found this subgroup, thank you so much for your hard work. Looking forward to the next ep of Nozomi!

If I may ask, how do you guys normally acquire some of these RAWs? Do you order the DVDs online or does someone actually acquire them in Japan?

Torlock • July 5, 2019, 7:56 a.m.

Hey Guys,

what's up with your Attack No. 1 Torrent on Nyaa ? https://nyaa.si/view/1148702

µTorrent 3.1.2 gives me an error message (in german): Kann "tmpldv_5v0o.torrent" nicht laden. Teilgröße nicht unterstützt (64.0 MB) !

In english it must be: Can't load "tmpldv_5v0o.torrent" Part size not supported (64.0 MB)!

The Magnet-Link didn't work either I've got 8 Seeds but every Seed has 0% of the Files - so no Download

There are at last 2 other people on Nyaa who got the same Problem

By the way: The Torrent and the Magnet-Link on Anidex https://anidex.info/torrent/249284 have this problem too.

rr- • July 5, 2019, 9:21 a.m.

Thanks for the report. It appears uTorrent has a bug that doesn't let the users download torrents with large piece sizes. I uploaded a new version here that uses smaller piece size: https://nyaa.si/view/1156236 Let me know if it's working for you.

Torlock • July 5, 2019, 10:50 a.m.

Thanks, the new Torrent works fine for me !

Michiru Sanjou • July 4, 2019, 4:22 p.m.

Hey guys!!! I was wondering, would making a Twitter account be in your guys’ future? A lot of people in the retro anime community there appreciate your work, and it could also have some benefits that I couldn’t see. It’s up to you guys! Keep up the great work, and thank you for subbing one of the only 10/10 anime I’ve ever watched, Attack No.1.

rr- • July 4, 2019, 5:20 p.m.

Thanks for the comment. Sorry, but keeping any social media accounts is not something we're interested in. Keeping such account would also mean more work for me, taking time that could be spent on making subtitles.

Anna • July 4, 2019, 4:14 p.m.

Thanks for subbing all of Attack No. 1! Me & my friends were wondering if you'd sub Mahou no Mako Chan?

Millie • July 4, 2019, 2:23 p.m.

Holy crap, I can't believe there are finally fansubs for Sasurai no Taiyou! I love you guys, thank you so much!

Salo • July 3, 2019, 10:35 p.m.

Thank you so much for all your effort translating Attack No.1! I have a question though, are you still going to translate Ashita e Attack? I was really looking forward to that.

rr- • July 3, 2019, 11:27 p.m.

Yes, the plan is to translate it, possibly this year. Right now we're in the process of obtaining cleaned RAWs from an external party.

Deva • July 2, 2019, 6:53 a.m.

I think the Attack No. 1 -themed commercial file is broken. Its not playing for some reasons.

rr- • July 2, 2019, 6:59 a.m.

The files contained "ad" in their names, so it's possible they ended up being blocked by an ad blocker ^^ I just renamed them, let me know if it's working now.

Giovanna de Oliveira • July 1, 2019, 11:39 p.m.

why saint tail??? ir has already been subbed by [Zergslayer]...

rr- • July 2, 2019, 5:25 a.m.

Plus, like I wrote in the news, it should be considered a side project. Compare mowing the lawn to building a summer house. It's a short breather for me (TL) between other TL projects.

Zi • July 2, 2019, 5:19 a.m.

From the news page: "we'll be doing a mini non-translation side project – a Bluray release for Saint Tail. We'll retime and style the existing subtitles and fix any typos along the way."

Natanael • July 2, 2019, 1:02 a.m.

Saint Tail is a wonderful anime series and deserves a quality release. I wonder if someone else still remembers the mailing list were they were translating the anime in the late 90's. Later the entire series was translated by Group Hooseki. As I remember it, they never released timed scripts, but actual fansubs were made and I was able to request SVHS/VHS copies of it. VKLL also did a release, if I'm not mistaken.

H94 • July 2, 2019, 1:08 a.m.

Subs could use some improvement and it can create a definitive release.

Natanael • July 3, 2019, 1:11 a.m.

I'd like to have the honorifics...

Also, why the ending, with that lovely song, wasn't included in the episode?

rr- • July 3, 2019, 6:36 a.m.

I tried to include honorifics but it worked against the translation. The first episode in bluray doesn't include ending.

Erza • July 23, 2019, 1:07 p.m.

I think that honorifics should be kept, but only when the story takes place in Japan (or in a fictional Japan-like country, like Naruto). Keeping them even when it takes place in non-japanese or fictitious locations with non-japanese characters would be pointless, IMHO. Thanks for your work with Wandering Sun!

Natanael • July 3, 2019, 11:57 a.m.

Thanks for answering
