Those other groups seem to be doing pretty well on those shows we started doing, and that means we don’t have to do any work! Isn’t that nice? We think so.

But more importantly, here’s another episode of little girls learning not to trust authority, a very important and strangely non-Japanese lesson.
Gakuen Alice 17

Some totally neat-o old OVAs that nobody else wants to watch will follow soon, as soon as Defiler finishes writing multi-million line Ruby on Rails applications.
(And the rest of this, obviously.)

It’s another horrible, horrible idea here at Studio ADTRW, as we do this stuff instead of schoolwork or WoW or whatever it is we’re supposed to be doing.

bartender 1

Bartender 2 was delayed a week broadcast, it’s not supposed to be out yet. When it is, it won’t be in HDTV, due to technical difficulties on the part of that one guy on Share. Them’s the breaks.

Also we did this thing. If you’re the people who used to do this thing, I guess you can restart it if you want. It would be a waste of all those DVD ISOs rk got, though.
Gakuen Alice 16

Why is Japan obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, anyway? Maybe it’s because Lewis Carroll was a pædophile.

Here is a fansub.

NHK 02

If some other group doesn’t do a hardsub by next week or so I will. Otherwise I won’t.
If they don’t have the “FUCKING ULTIMATE FUCKING MOÉ” line next episode I’m going to give up in protest and work on a project that has “Alice” in its name.

Any questions? Post them in the forums I guess.

PS this is what “ero-game” means: kj1980: official japanese person

I’m sure you already know that, but read it anyway, it’s educational.

We’re no Strato, but here’s the introductory episode to the modern hikikomori action epic!

Welcome to the NHK! 01

The on-screen notes should explain the fancy visual culture vocabulary words well enough, but if I don’t kill myself through not getting enough sleep more work might be required to explain “moé“.

Here’s the subtitle file if anyone wants it:
ASS

Update: AVI

A certain anime with a really big robot in it is licensed by Bandai.
Our secret new project will be revealed sometime or other. Think teddy bears with axes.

(Does anyone read this? Is this thing on? Oh well.)

I said this project wasn’t dead, and I meant it!

Gunbuster episode 4

Noriko finally stops whining and does what everyone in Japan aspires to do: fight against evil in a large robot!

PS - episode 5’s title is actually “Please, Time Enough for Love!”, not “Some Time for Love”, for obvious reasons.

Rabidkimba released REC episode 1 for fun, and then dropped it because Lunar picked it up. There will be no more releases of REC on the tracker unless if Lunar dies from SARS or something. Also, just to clear things up this wasn’t an “official” ADTRW release (not that that means anything).

Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa has been dropped for the forseeable future due to lack of translator interest. It’s being continued at http://mangatranslation.mrdummy.net/.

Gunbuster is still alive, just sleeping. Really, I promise.

A new project? No giant robots or sexual confusion? Unheard of!

Here’s episode one of Rozen Maiden Träumend, the sequel to some show about dolls who drink lots of tea. It’s available in modern semi-HDTV softsub and cavemanesque AVI.

The short movie “Rain, the Girl, and My Letter” (Ame to Shoujo to Watashi no Tegami) by the CG artist Imperial Boy has been updated. This version has slightly improved video and a Danish translation, contributed by Freak of Nature.
