So after getting done with the first OVA, it is now time to release the second OVA of Goku Midnight Eye.
The ghosting/blending in the second OVA is a bit less than in the first one, the overall quality is slightly better, but still, an old master is an old master.

About subtitles, just like in the first OVA there’s an additional subtitle track. If you happen to have any problems with signs rendering too slow, then it’s recommended to use the secondary track where the signs will rendered faster.

About some torrents: for some of our releases we had torrents at boxtorrents, which have now changed to bakabt (http://www.bakabt.com), so currently these links don’t work, I’ll fix those later today, probably.

And so it’s time for another release, the first OVA of Goku Midnight Eye and both have quite a bit of signs to typeset so I decided to release them separate.
These OVAs are directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, which you probably know from films/ovas such as Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku and some others. Sadly the Midnight Eye OVAs did not get new masters for the DVD release, so the video looks dated compared to titles such as Wicked City and Demon City Shinjuku.
If you happen to have any problems with signs rendering too slow, then it’s recommended to use the secondary track where the signs will rendered faster.

And finally another OVA to release. The remastered version of Roujin Z!

Description:

The Z Project was intended to give the new generation a break from caring for the old. The original intenion was to create a machine to care for them without any intervention. At first glance, it looked like an excellent plan, and many of the younger generation approved of its application. But when old Mr. Takazawa become the test subject for the Z-001 machine, Haruko questioned both the tactics of the hospital and the moral implications of the machine. This is just the beginning, as Haruko has not just the hospital, but the odds against her. But then, she discovers an odd quirk about the machine: it uses a biochip, and it eventually acquires a mind of its own!

And as always, screenshots!

Yep, another release today. Martian Successor Nadesico episode 1&2.

These are encoded from the remastered R2 DVDs. These DVDs had some nasty aliasing which has been mostly filtered away while keeping as much detail as possible, other than that no filters have been used, hence the bigger filesizes.
If you encounter some lags in the preview, use the secondary subtitle stream, or use it if you don’t want to see the lyrics on your screen.

Gonna take a release break now

And so another day with a release :o, yep, more Kaibutsu Oujo, today we’ve got 3 new episodes for you.
The next release might be something else, but I’m not sure about that yet.

Small edit for ep7: a-fanrips_kaibutsu_oujo_ep7v2_patch

This patch fixes a small mistake in the script made by me!

Good morning to ya’all.

Got some more Kaibutsu Oujo episodes for you today, these should’ve been released much earlier, but we’ve had our problems! Like two days no internet and wow, I’ve survived those days… But I couldn’t have survived it without the Euro vision song festival, lol… Anyway, enough nonsense, enjoy the new episodes.

Screenshots:

Yo all, got some new stuff for you, Kaibutsu Oujo 3-5 (v2), always gotta love the crappy fades in these DVDs!

FAIL EDIT: The v2’s that have been released had a LOL mistake in the ending chapter causing it to not display the last few secs. This happened in ep3-5v2, patches to v3 have been released to fix this issue. a-fanrips_kaibutsu_oujo_3_-_5_v2_to_v3_patch
BTW: Thanks to Mandarinka for spotting the failure.

Yo folks.

No old anime for you today, instead we have Kaibutsu Oujo for you, also called Princess Resurrection.

Episode 1 & 2 have finally been re-released. This time using the R1 subtitles rather than the fansubs, they are much better and consistent. Of course the video and audio quality are much better as well.
The old release had some annoying blocking in some areas where the video is much better in the newer release, also, the old one had some interlaced frames left, this is mostly a problem from the source which had to be fixed.
We had used ~60kbps AAC audio for the old release and the new release contains untouched AC3 audio, which is of course much better and I’m sure the people with some better equipment will appreciate it.

Just to add, this release now uses ordered chapters, so keep the opening and ending in the same folder as the episodes, otherwise they won’t show up while playing, or remove them if you hate them, since that goes faster than hitting the next chapter button.
There is an additional subtitle track as well, which don’t have opening and ending lyrics, they also use a different main font.

Finally got something to release this month, today we have “The Five Star Stories” ready for you. Encoded from a delicious remastered R2JDVD transfer.
To make this news post longer I’ll post a description as well!

Description:

Among the 5 star systems known as the Joker Systems, there are many kingdoms. There are knights within the kingdoms and the knights control giant robots called Headliners. Bound to the knights are fatimas. Human in appearance and mind, the fatimas (mostly female) possess expanded physical capabilities and make it possible to control a Headliner. Fatimas cannot reproduce. All this is overseen by Emperor Amaterasu and his Mirage Knights.

And of course, the screenshots:

A new week, a new release, today we got all three the Violence Jack OVAs for you.
After some time laying on my HDD, I finally got to work on it and resulted in it being released today!

This is another piece from Go Nagai, from around the same time as two Devilman OVAs, only these Violence Jack OVAs are much more cruel in content. Murder and rape seems common in a town destroyed by an earthquake. With no laws, weak people are much more vulnerable than they ever have been, though, help comes along the way, namely Jack, Violence Jack. Sadly help comes too late for many people who either get killed before Jack shows up or while he’’s fighting. (For OVA specific descriptions click on the Violence Jack pages in the menu on the right)

Only the second OVA has some sex scenes, which show up about two times and they are censored. The OVA doesn’t rely on these sex scenes, a lot of violence is going on at the same time.
The third OVA only has some nudity and the first OVA goes a bit further than just nudity, but they’re hardly sex scenes.

The first OVA is 4:3, while the other two are widescreen. Sadly the DVDs were letter-boxed so they needed to be cropped quite a bit, which explains the lower resolutions for these two.

And lastly, the screenshots! Enjoy!
