It’s been a while hasn’t it. 6 years of avoiding working on this. So why’d I come back to it? Mix of reasons. First was it was a 4 day weekend and I needed to do something that wasn’t play the evil empire in Stellaris. The second is that someone actually made the effort to come into our IRC and ask for download links for episode 1 and was enthusiatic about the rest of the series. So I figured might as well finish this terrible OVA. Episode 2 isn’t as bad as I remember. Shame the episodes beyond it are worse.
The decision to do this in particular was actually made the day before Discotek announced they were licensing the TV series.
Used the BD raws for this, an SD version should be out at some point, can’t encode due to my computer overheating badly if I 100% the CPU, like say if I run an encode.
Translation has been cleaned up since last time, slight translation adjustments for continuity etc.
TL notes:
Episode 2’s title is 超獣魔境 (choujuu makyou), the first 2 characters are just ‘super beast’, but ‘makyou‘ is more tricksy. Literally it’s ‘devil’s cave’ or ‘haunt of evil men’, but figuratively means an illusion or a type of self-delusion. It was the latter sort of meaning I tried to go for with the title.
