Yeah, they used some pretty low-res tv rips that looked especially bad with Hibiki's unorthodox cinematography.

Just to be clear, will this be a scrub of the existing TVN script or a totally new translation? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with your work.

It'll be a new translation. What I aim to do is to localize it to the best of my abilities (although it is Hibiki, so we'll see how that goes) while in general being faithful to the Japanese dialogue. What I'll be sure not to do is to structure some sentences in the Japanese way, which would make for some... awkward dialogue ("Your opponent today... is me!).

I'll have both a typeset script and a clean script (like Aesir).

The method of distribution will be DDL (unless someone wants to help me.by making torrents for them and seeding, etc).

I still haven't learned how to hardsub, so it will be softsubbed unless someone teaches me an efficient way to hardsub, in which case there will be a hardsub option and a softsub option.

That's fine. I'm not very well-known.

As a demonstration of Bunny Hat's Hibiki raws, I decided to quickly do this.

Kamen Rider Hibiki - Creditless OP

Considering this is a thread basically about my fansubs (well, it's intended to be), I think it's safe to have that link there.

Mrstone from nyaa is soon finished with his work on Black RX, and he has said if he should do another show depends to his work schedule, he can first start the new show until on november. And it is likely to bound to be another Kamen Rider show like X or Super-1.

Status Update:
- Hibiki 03 Finished Downloading
- Hibiki 04 Finished Downloading
- Hibiki 05 is at ~30%

Total of 9% of the torrent has finished downloading. (God, it really would've been faster if it were DDL...)

Sounds great to me. Hibiki is one of my all-time favorite Rider shows, so I'm excited to see it get some more love. :thumb:

Cool. His subs have some minor grammar issues, but the dialogue is clear and it's neat to see someone else take an interest in the Showa era series.

I think the quality turned out great!

What my goal is is to allow all types of people to watch the shows I sub no matter if they like typesetting or not which is really the problem with fansubs. These kinds of details are pretty much what splits the toku and anime fanbases up.

My little brother absolutely loves the Showa series... I think at some point he's gonna force me to do a Showa era show!

Yeah... Bunny Hat really is a great encoder!

Um... this is probably a dumb question, but once the project starts, would I be allowed to make a thread about it where I can post whenever a new episode is released or news pertaining to it arises?

Yes, you can indeed... badapplesubs did that too:)
