Yeah, he's been assigned as 'viceroy' of the Alliance; the scene takes place on Heinessen.

Also, while we're here.. Franz von Mariendorf has a scene earlier on Odin (capital of the Empire), and his title is given as:
国務尚書 (kokumu naoga??)
..which I've managed to extract "Provisional Secretary of State" from.. but I might be wrong. He's just finished arranging a banquet, so maybe it's more like "Secretary for State Affairs"?

Kokumu Naoga looks correct. I had no luck running this through any of my normal Japanese reference sites, so I tried a few Chinese ones, and came up with one result for "High official". I think Secretary of State Affairs would work best. It doesn't seem to be a real title; when I ran a Google search on it, just about every hit came from Japanese LOGH webpages.

There is some loving hard dialogue in this show. I had to listen to one of Yang's lines like 120 times to figure it out.
"tei no ii sa wa shumon da na"
体の良いさは宗門だな

..which I'm going to interpret as "Looking good is like a religion for you."

Oh, I forgot to mention.. the encode is at the original 720x480 resolution; you will need to tell your media player to fit it to 4:3.
I flagged the MKV file with the proper aspect ratio, but only a few video players 'respect' it. Odds are that you'll need to click some menu option to make it look right.

I'm connected to the torrent... it's ~250 mb mkvs for each episode. Seems like a helluva lot of trouble for someone to go through for a senseless prank.

However it's also going at a blazing 6k/s for now so I can't confirm much of anything.

edit: to download the torrent, click the link, then press enter after clicking in the address bar one more time. Seems to fool it into thinking you were directed from within the site.

In my opinion, the CG stuff is awful, but if that is for real I will be mighty intrigued. Someone who uses azureus please let us know soon.

edit: If it is, in fact, the real deal then it's a fantastic gently caress you to central-anime. Apparently CA has finally begun to make some progress again and this is just making them look foolish.

edit2: The fact that it isn't on animesuki does not bode well.

edit3: From the Central Anime forums "Those are the HK DVD rips with the new added CG footage and english soft sub." The subs probably suck.

Remember a lot of people are USED to buying HK bootlegs, either intentionally or unintentionally, so compared to some HK bootlegs they could very well be decent subs in comparison but still poo poo overall.

Precambrian Video Games

I finished downloading the first episode. The torrent is actually fairly speedy now at 80k/s or so. So anyways, on to the review:

The presence of Chinese audio and subtitles is a reasonable hint that these are HK DVD rips as previously mentioned. And unfortunately, the translation is quite lacking in many ways, although not as bad as those from whoever I originally got eps 50-54 from. Since it's obviously spoileriffic, don't click these if you haven't watched up to ep 54:

http://ca.geocities.com/olafkolzig@rogers.com/LOGH.jpg
http://ca.geocities.com/olafkolzig@rogers.com/LOGHop.jpg

And a transcript of the first minute or so of speech:


Long life Emperor Reinhard!
Long live the New Reich!
- Mariendorf.
- Your Highness.
- You must be tired. How's your first day as a Minister?
- I am sorry, please pardon me. Everything is new to me. Your Highness, how do you feel? I want both the celebration and ceremony to be simple, and it is just as planned.
- I think it's good. Those grand banquets of the Old Empire State are wasting the country's budget. Since it's establishing a country, we can't save on the ceremony. But it don't have to be very grand. To emphasis on this point, today's ceremony will be the guideline for the future events. We'll need your help in many aspects. Sorry to trouble you.
- Yes.


Clearly not translated by somebody with awesome English skills, since there are far too many literal translations and grammatical errors. However, it's still comprehensible. I'm not sure how well they'll hold up when the series gets to serious political dramabombs, since the subtletise of comments from Yang and the like may just go flying out the window... but it doesn't appear that they're as bad as those from subbers who purposely screw up names which appear on screen in English.

So in conclusion, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Dude. It's episode 101. The last loving episode of Touch. You do not denigrate the last loving episode of an awesome series because you are incapable of waiting two more days for an episode you've already been waiting the better part of a year for.

Wait and hope.
Just finished the first batch and I have two hours left on the second. Only had time to watch a random five minutes of episode two and I only noticed two grammatical errors (forgotten word, incorrect plural). A few awkward sentences, too.

Still, it isn't atrociously bad and it did seem tolerable.

Guess I'll just treat it like a speed sub.

Well, since I can't help myself, I've watched up to ep 70. Don't read the spoilers if you haven't.

So Yang's crew take over Iserlohn by Bagdash hacking the gibson and preventing Thor's Hammer from firing at their own fleet. Seriously, this is bullshit. So far the series has avoided appearing contrived, but this practically screams 'lazy writing'.

Yeah, but the fact that they gave such a lame strategy for the recapturing of the most badass fortress ever is really irritating. If they can hack enemy stations by radio or something why didn't they hack Reinhard's ship and make it self-detonate or do a little dance? It seems to be descending from the level of strategery to just plain magic.
