It seems that part four of Enthusiastic Teachers is finished.

They seem to have messed up the permissions on the dailymotion link or something though so you can't stream it yet.

It seems like the subbing team for Enthusiastic Teachers is getting back on track. Part 5 is done but it won't be on Dailymotion until tomorrow.

I really enjoyed the latest part, but it's kinda frustrating that they're sticking so strictly to the 30 minutes per part thing that they're just ending in the middle of scenes.

Does anyone know how many of the Shichihenge videos have been subbed? The only ones I've found are Goto Terumoto, Tetsuo Sato, Heipo and I found a really low quality video of the Bob Sapp one somewhere but I can't remember where.

They're really funny - I'm surprised more of them haven't been subbed.

I appreciate it's a huge commitment but have any subbing groups said whether they are going to work on this year's batsu game?

Well the guys who subbed the last one haven't posted any videos on their site since August so I can't see them doing it again. I guess I don't know how long stuff like this is supposed to take but they seemed really slow, the teacher batsu wasn't finished until like June.

I forgot about the tag teaser. So tag game, maybe a long incompetent skit, Itoh's gotta show up at some point, same with Maeda Bibari, stupid human tricks from the Headtowel group, midnight gossip crew, and the scary bits at the end. Maybe it's a good thing they edited out some of the drawer gags this year?

I wish they'd drop some of these things and try out more new stuff. Stuff like the Chono slap was super funny to me the first one or two times but when you see it like 5 years in a row it kinda loses it's charm.

I still enjoy the batsu games a lot but they've probably gotten a little too predictable.

Just noticed GodzillaRadio posted a pretty funny episode where Tanaka has a breakdown after Matsumoto calls him boring and cameras follow him around. Tanaka is my favourite so it was nice to see them do something like this:

The idea is pretty similar to those stalking Tanaka/Matsumoto clips but I liked it a lot. Tanaka is a surprisingly good actor.

I thought part of it was maybe because they didn't want to be recognised in public or something. (Which I guess doesn't make much sense since there's a camera following them around)

A translation team with the quality of SA-GCCX from over in the Games sub-forum for Gaki stuff would be a dream come true. No complaints can be made about the team over at Team Gaki's effort with the latest batsu, but it appears that they too have all but petered out now that's done and dusted.

I think they're happy enough just translating the yearly batsu to get the money from adfly or whatever. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't sub anything else this year and just waited for the 2015 batsu (If there is one)

I think this is the second part in a row where a different guy has had to step in and do most of the translating because I guess other people are busy with life stuff. Their system of splitting it up into tiny segments between so many people doesn't really seem to be working all that well

I've read their writings but I cannot make sense out of it: What the gently caress happened? The usual of people signing promising everything then doing jackshit, having to quit the project one after another so that 2-3 people had to do 75% of the work and it taking forever?

Happy and thankful it's being done but the :wtf: cannot stop.

Yeah they divided each 30 minute video into 10 minute segments between six people (3 typesetting, 3 translating) which is a terrible idea considering how unreliable people seem to be with any translation project ever. For the last four/five parts the same thing kept happening where there'd be weeks of inactivity then one guy eventually comes in and does the whole video himself in like a day. I guess it's not right to complain but it's just kinda disappointing considering last years batsu was translated in like a month

I enjoyed the hell out of Hanzawa Naoki, which came out a few years ago and has fansubs available. It's a business politics thriller where the title character is loan manager for a large bank office. He is set up by his branch manager to make an unsecured loan to a shady businessman and left holding the bag when this guy disappears with the money. Performances by the main cast are all top-notch, and ratings for the show set all kinds of records in Japan.

I just got done watching this and it was great! Thanks for the recommendation.

If you keep an eye on the gaki reddit there's been a lot of subs lately. Those food marathon eps seem popular and there's one guy who's been subbing full episodes of Wednesday Downtown

I wish it was easier to recommend dramas because I've watched a decent amount but the selection on netflix etc is awful and I've had to mess around with torrents and getting sub files that people post on the d-addicts forums

Some stuff I had watched last year, WOWOW seem to make lots of cool dramas. I'm just pasting the description from mydramalist because I'm lazy

Influence - Yuri goes to a female novelist and tells her that she and two of her friends committed three murders. Yuri asks the novelist to write a story about them.

Satsui no Michinori - (This is a comedy) Due to heavy debts incurred by CEO Yushiyuki, the owner of a small cardboard processing company was forced into bankruptcy and driven to suicide. Despite pleas from the man's family, Yoshiyuki remained unpunished by the law. Blocked by the usual legal channels, the son, Kubota Kazuma, and his cousin vow to kill the man responsible for his death. However, given that neither of them has ever killed someone, it requires a lot of planning and a lot of help to achieve the perfect crime.

Niijiro Karute - Kureno Masora is a young doctor who was working happily at a large hospital in Tokyo. However, she found out that she has an illness and decided to continue working as a doctor, while hiding her illness at a clinic located in a small village called "Niji no Mura". Therefore, Masora gets to meet the interesting villagers and gradually learns about facing life enthusiastically.

60 Gohan - Arima Eiji, a police detective nearing retirement, who belongs to the Misjudgement Countermeasure Officer has had the experience of arresting the wrong person for a crime he did not commit. As such, when he is tasked to investigate the likelihood of wrong judgments given out to criminals on death row along with young lawyer Sera Shoichi and prosecutor Haruna Misuzu, Arima takes this on with the intention of repenting for his past mistake. On the other hand, although Sera is suspicious of Arima's actions, he is pushed along by the latter's passion to assist in the re-investigations while Haruna just wants to get back to the prosecutors' office as soon as possible so she has no choice but to obey the orders of her superior to cooperate with Arima and Sera.

Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita - Endo Ai is an office lady and she is about to turn 30-years-old. She has enjoyed posting about herself on social media, but she has grown tired of that. One day, she happens to see underground idol Kurimoto Hana perform live. Ai is touched by her, who is not good at performing, but eager at what she is doing.

Iribito - (I think this is currently airing - I've only watched the first episode so far) Naho is the deputy curator of the art gallery established by her grandfather, an avid art collector. Naho's husband is the managing director at a different art gallery in Ginza which his family has run for several generations. To avoid the hectic pace of Tokyo, a pregnant Naho decides to move to Kyoto. There, she finds a painting by an unknown painter. She becomes fascinated with it and soon faces an unexpected truth.

also Miss Sherlock is pretty decent and is probably on Netflix or Hulu
