One Piece and Other Stuff

Sunday, May 17th, 2009 | Translation | 13 Comments

Earlier this week FUNimation announced that English-subtitled versions of the latest One Piece episodes would be put up online just one hour after the episodes air in Japan. By many strings of random chances and just being in the right place at the right time, the job of doing these subs has fallen into my hands. It’s pretty crazy and also a huge honor. At the same time, it’s also scar... Read More >>>

Square Throws the Legal Books

Monday, May 11th, 2009 | Games, Translation | 8 Comments

Apparently, Square-Enix sent a Cease and Desist to Chrono Compendium, saying that all the Chrono-related ROM hacks must stop. See here. Scary stuff. I think we’re lucky as hell that Nintendo doesn’t seem to care about EarthBound hacks (not that many get made…) and especially didn’t seem to care about the MOTHER 3 translation. The thing that makes this really newsworthy thou... Read More >>>

Subtitle Translator Contest

Rather than try to explain everything myself, just see here. Basically, if you know Japanese and you know how to transalte, this is probably one of THE best chances to get your foot into the industry. It’d also make really good resume material, because Osamu Tezuka’s stuff is legendary. Anyway, check it out! ... Read More >>>

Food Fight Episode 3!

Sunday, February 8th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Translation, Videos | 12 Comments

Ah, one of my most favorite Food Fight episodes This one is great, if you can only watch one, then I’d probably recommend this one. But you should watch more than one anyway Long-time readers might remember an old Food Fight page I made in 2000 while I was staying in Japan for a little while. I had just discovered the show and I decided to take a ton of pics and record stuff using my crap... Read More >>>

Watch S.T.R.A.I.N. Online for Free!

Monday, February 2nd, 2009 | Translation, Videos | 14 Comments

I guess I should pay more attention to things, because I had no idea that FUNimation had started putting up so many of its shows online for free to watch I had known that a few new shows were being shown, but not to this extent. Oh man, this is cool. The other day I mentioned that S.T.R.A.I.N. came out on DVD. If you can’t afford it right now, you can watch it online for free here. I reall... Read More >>>

Food Fight Ep. 2!

Sunday, January 18th, 2009 | Japan Stuff, Translation, Videos | 13 Comments

Continuing from the first episode! This time, Mitsuru meets a foreign guy who eats like crazy. Also, he apparently must eat to save a young orphan from dying. However that works. Also, puddle-swimming! This was the first full Food Fight ep. I saw back when it aired, and it completely stole my heart. The show’s just so cheesy but so good. I wish I had time to go and redo all the subs now th... Read More >>>

For those wondering who the host is, he’s Thane Camus, and he’s lived in Japan most of his life, so he’s not just some random white dude being an ass Besides the Funniest English and Funniest Japanese segments,...

Gamasutra Interview

Friday, December 26th, 2008 | EarthBound Stuff, Miscellaneous, Translation | 13 Comments

I just remembered I was interviewed a few weeks ago for an article at Gamasutra. I usually tend not to do interviews (I made reid do all the bazillion Mother 3 interviews ) but Gamasutra is cool so I did it anyway. You can read it here. Nothing too special and it’s mostly just quotes from me. Or para-quotes in some cases. Some of the information there is wrong though. For instance, I worked... Read More >>>
