Yup, I’ve redone this show since the raws I used before were… well… crap. They also had a bit of an audio problem. I got may hands on the BDMVs this time.
I really like this little show. It was one of the first anime I ever watched. It’s cute, the characters are endearing and the battles are pretty good. The animation is mediocre, sadly.
The second show may or may not get a BD version. Its situation is different then the first. I hope it does. The subtitles are vobsubs from E-D.
A request about this anime: During one of the flashbacks of Jiyu and her father they have a conversation about subtractions. Jiyu says that when subtracting 7 from 16 you borrow 10 from the tens column, subtract 7 then add the 6. But she does not understand when to return the borrowed 10. Her father says she does not need to return it. I understand it’s a play on words since “ten” and “Jiyu” sound the same in Japanese. But I don’t understand the metaphor. Hoping a kind user here can enlighten me.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot, I was actually looking for this!

Think of 16 as “10 plus 6”.
10 - 7 = 3
3 + 6 = 9
That’s the answer to 16 - 7

Nice! Any chance you will get to season 2 this century? Then again are there any subs for season 2 at all LOL.

loligagger: I know how the math works, I just don’t get the metaphor.
ZippyDSMlee: I can’t get to season 2. There is no Bluray release available.

I thought the BDs for this were supposed to be upscales, are they not?

Upscale or not, still looks way better then the DVD.

Thanks for posting. Loved this series but still haven’t seen a post of the 2nd season. Hope you can get to it.

Like I said above, I can’d get to the second season unless Japan makes a BD for it.

Is it just me, or are the subtitles off-center? Compared to the old v1 release, especially.
DmonHiro (uploader)
That’s odd. To me the old ones were off center.
ZippyDSMlee
Oh fun, what are the chances they will do a blu ray for it? seems slim if they don;t jsut do it all at once and filter it through 1-4 sets to milk all its worth.

I hope the 2nd one will get a BD release someday.
Thanks for this!

I have the R1 DVDs for S2. Is there already a decent encode of it out there? I would have to OCR the vobsubs.
DmonHiro (uploader)
CoR is decent enough. Considering the age of the show…
Still want a BD though. Some sort of licensing problem in Japan…
Patjantess
Yeah, that’s why I haven’t done it. I usually look to replace really bad stuff, or what I can’t find.
Nice job on this one Dmonhiro

@DmonHiro
Thanks for the release. I just watched the show and regarding your question about not needing to return the 10, I think the idea is that he’s trying to teach Jubei about unconditional love; parental love that doesn’t need to be “returned”. She can simply keep his affection without feeling an obligation to make up for it in some way because his love for her is not transactional.
