Year 1 Issue 12

Arcadia Dragnet, Year 1, Issue 12

  March 18 - 24, 2020

Well folks, I've had a tough week to be honest. Covid-19 worries are increasing in Canada and I'm very anxious for my many at-risk friends... I've been using anime to take my mind off of things. I picked up Bonobono (1995), finished up Hakugei Densetsu, marathoned my way through Tentai Senshi Sunred, Shirobako and Toradora, and checked out Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and Toki no Tabibito: Time Stranger. It's all helping...

Anyway, welcome back to Arcadia Dragnet. We're all having a tough time, but there's still lots of cool fansubbing going on so let's spend some time geeking out!

Contemporary Anime- Unlicensed

This week, BuriBuri released episode 23 of Super Shiro, Some-Stuffs released episode 18 of Pokemon 2019, Hoshi-no-Yume FS released episode 50 of Beyblade Burst GT, Mezashite released episode 24 of Aikatsu on Parade, an anon released episode 11 of Dorohedoro, episode 12 of Hentatsu TV was fansubbed by another anon, and episode 8 of Healin' Good♡Precure was subbed by Serenae and the usual anon. Mutsurini-Translations finished up their work on Natsunagu! with their release of episode 12, Specter Subs continued working toward completion of Youkai Watch with their release of episode 192, and YameteTomete completed their subs for Senki Zeshsoushinai Symphogear XV with their release of episode 4.

This week, the new Trigger show Brand New Animal released its first 6 episodes. Asenshi began working on their fansubs, releasing the first episode, while a new fansubber going by AnimacitySubs quickly released subs for all 6 currently-available episodes. There are subs available for Violet Evergarden Gaiden, currently the best ones seem to have been uploaded by Nyaa user D0ugyB0y but if any better ones surface then I will mention them.

Classic Anime

This week, NoraInuG released episode 19 of Moeru! Oniisan, OldCastle released episode 3 of Ashita e Attack, Inka-Subs released episode 13 of Chou Kousoku Galvion and episode 13 of Jungle Emperor (1989), /m/subs released episode 42 of Metal Armor Dragonar, GANGO released episode 37 of Bonobono (1995), Elusive released episode 11 of KochiKame, and Live-eviL and Saizen Fansubs (under the name Evil-Saizen) collaborated to release episodes 81 and 82 of Laughing Salesman.

Wisperer released episode 15 of Princess Sara. Nook-Subs released a version of the Animal Crossing movie using elements from the English localized games including names, catchphrases, and direct quotes.

Hentai and Donghua

This week, there were no releases from SakuraCircle. There was some fansubbing work done on older hentai, though: WIP released a version of their subs for Try Z timed to a DVD source, and Incense Idol Subs released subs for Suashi no Houkago.

In terms of donghua, VersusSubs released episode 5 of Wu Liuqi Zhi Zui Qiang Fa Xing Shi (Scissor Seven) and kitkat2010, along with some friends, released episode 4 of Jie Yao (Antidote). Again, AnimeXin holds a lot of English fansubs for donghua, but most of these fansubs are very very poor-quality.
