Look, stuff got released and no one made a post about it. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? I would have, but I was too busy waiting for Final Fantasy XIII Resonance of Fate to come out.

16 MKV
16 XviD

17 MKV

18 MKV

inb4 someone comments about how marking them as MKV or XviD isn't correct because MKV is a container and XviD is a codec

Hurrah, another release! Sorry it took so long, but the guy who was doing the signs bailed on us, so I had to beg other people to help out. Hymn kindly stepped in at the last minute, so here it is!

If you like Shiodome, this is the episode for you. If not... well, it's another daft episode of Miracle Train. Enjoy!

Happy February! As promised, we have the OVA (DVD extra episode) subbed for you.

Same people to thank as last time: the lovely Gutts and skystrife in particular. asinankurus kindly stepped in to time this episode (she's also doing Miracle Train) and TheDeath did the two signs. Special thanks to them for helping out and getting this released sooner than it might have been!

This is a great episode. Nice way to wrap things up for Kuroshitsuji. On the newspaper, it says Phantom Company. Well, for consistency, I stuck with Funtom, which they have used previously. One of us has to be consistent, and it's clearly not going to be the animators.

So, to finish up, since you may not know Hamlet, and the newspaper writeup is only onscreen for a brief moment, I thought I would reproduce some of it for you here:

Danish prince Hamlet kills father, it deprives of mother, the uncle who usurps the throne is subjugated. One of shakespearian four great tragedies. Recently, the interpretation "Those who act Hamlet" is also powerful though. "Intellect who can worry" image caused by Coleridge is general Hamlet's story is writing the story.

So, there you go. Now you know.

Thank you for watching! Share and enjoy!

I know things have been a little dry at the Shinsen well lately, so here's something rehashed because I/we love Votoms. This film basically compresses the twelve Pailsen Files OVA into a sub-2 hour movie. I also fixed some of the errors I made (like Merkia and Valalant) and normalized two character names I seemed to change each episode (Barcoff and Kochak).

It adds a new intro scene which is kind of awesome and some new scenes during the ED (which is a new mix of the original series' opening). Allow this to tide over your Votoms cravings until March 26th, when Phantom Arc OVA1 releases, and yes, we are planning to do this.

The audio included is stereo, but I think Bachstelze is going to make the 5.1 audio available and be answering questions on how to use it. Note that this is a one time-only offer which breaks one of Shinsen's 10 Commandments.

EDIT (Bachstelze): The 5.1 DTS audio track is available as a separate file. If using the torrent, be careful, it contains both the video file with stereo audio and the 5.1 audio track, which is huge, so don't forget to disable downloading of the 5.1 audio track if you don't want/need it. Obviously, if you want to view the file with the 5.1 audio, you will have to mux it in. If you don't know how to do that, a quick howto will follow.

Finally, you may be aware that this film was also released on Blu-ray. I know this and own the limited edition myself. I'm 95% sure it is an upscale, with some scenes remastered for HD and some not, so I won't waste our/your time and bandwidth.

The title says it all, but if you want more info...


I'm sorry to the translator who was interested in working on this and had already invested a lot of time in it, and I'm sorry to anyone who was keen on watching it with us. You'll be able to find plenty of other people subbing it by the sound of things.

Direct any bile at me. The others would have soldiered on.

(And so this post isn't unremittingly grim, the Kuroshitsuji OVA is looking like it'll show up in the next few days. Look forward to it!)
