You've probably noticed that Orphan's releases this year lean heavily towards re-releases of past projects or of previously fansubbed material. Basically, the group is out of gas; our translators are busy with Real Life, and I've been unable to recruit new ones. So we're stuck with recycled material.However, there's a limit to how much of that I'm willing to do (or the team is willing to do, for that matter). Yes, there are still a number of early projects that really need better encodes (for example, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2). Yes, there are other fansubs that also need better encodes (for example, Love Position: The Legend of Halley). But constantly retreading old ground means the projects and the group get stale. Without new scripts, Orphan is at or past the point of diminishing returns.There's no lack of material to work on. We have good raws for dozens of untranslated shows, as well as preliminary scripts for a few:Ambassador Magma TV series (13 episodes)Asatte Dance (DdD, AIW7500)Ascending the Clouds 1-2 (DdD) Bakumatsu no Spasibo (needs TLC)Days OAD (needs TLC)Fighting Beauty Wulong (needs TLC) - existing subs are HK DVD and dubtitlesGenji, Part 1 1-2 (needs TLC) (laserdisc)GoGo! Toraemon (DdD)Hashire! Shiroi OokamiHeart Cocktail (DdD)Kaitei Daisensou (needs TLC)Kentauros no Densetsu (AIW7500)Kimama ni IdolKoiko no Mainichi (AIW7500)Maps (1987)MellowMother: Saigo no Shoujo Eve (AIW7500) (needs TLC)Nemurenu Yoru no Chiisana OhanashiNijuushi no HitomiOL Kaizou Kouza (AIW7500)Okama Report (AIW7500)Ore no Sora (AIW7500)Raiyantsuuriii no UtaSakyo Komatsu's Animation Theater (with JP captions) Sanada 10 last 3 episodes (needs R2J encode)Santa Company ~The Secret of Christmas~ Shin Takamaru (laserdisc)Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu (AIW7500)Son Gokuu TV series (39 episodes) Sugata SanshirouSuper Real Mahjong (DdD)Takamaru (laserdisc)Tannishou o Hiraku Tezuka Osamu Works - Kyoto Animation Theater (with JP captions)Tottoi (AIW7500)Umi no Yami, Tsuki no KageUraysau Tekkin KazokuUshiro no HyakutaroVisitor (VHS)Warau HyoutekiYumemakura Baku Twilight Gekijou(Key: DdD = Domesday Duplicator laserdisc rip. AIW7500 = uncompressed VHS rip. TLC = translation check)However, without translators, these shows will remain stuck in the vaults, inaccessible to an English-speaking audience. Even Chameleon is stalled for lack of a translator to do the songs in the last three episodes.So yes, this is a recruiting post for translators; but it's also a notice that Orphan is basically going into quasi-hibernation. We'll finish what we started, like the HD versions of the Sangokushi movies and the Sensou Douwa specials, but after that, releases are going to be much more sporadic, as scripts turn up.If you are a translator, and one or more of these shows interest you, please get in touch with me by private message on irc.rizon.net. To my great annoyance, I have to be on Discord occasionally, but it's very sporadic.
