| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A romance between an aspiring artist(?) and his new found "love interest", they share their fantasies, accompanied by several songs. (I think) I need to rewatch it with a better audio (all the dialogue lines in the beginning were hardly audible with maximal sound output), a translation would help too especially on the songs (who look like an important part of the narrative during the onirical sequences). Until then, no scoring. If anyone has a better encoding than the old youtube video I saw, please contact me. edit: of course, if someone who understand japanese well decides to put here the global meaning of their early discussion, it would be great. edit @mutsuto Sorry, it wasn't. But apart from the discussion I mentionned in my post, the (very) few other phrases were all understandable without knowing japanese. |

Rei366 said: @mutsuto If you're still searching for it, read above. Thank you. Does it have dialogue? |
|
| @mutsuto Yes, a few lines here & there, if I remember it well, Not a sufficient reason to skip it if you're interested, I think. |

| Odd little flick. I have no idea what happened in it. |
|
| This one seems to have better quality: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av1147831 No sub. But it's mostly a music video. Some basic Japanese would be enough to get you through the dialogue. |
 |
| There is a rip by PPP-Raws that is better quality than either of these online video links being passed around. Not going to say where to find it, I'd rather not get banned and it's easy enough to find. Though all rips of this will have problems as the original laserdisc release is messed up according to a post by the original rippers that I've read. |

| I just tried watching this, and I would say there is a fair more dialogue than people make out in this OVA. Maybe it's only in the first chunk of the anime, but it was enough that I felt that I was missing a fair bit of the story (and maybe an explanation as to why they can go in and out of fantasy realms). Also, I will say that people that go around proclaiming things like this "don't need subs to enjoy it" should refrain from doing so or state that you yourself didn't need subs to enjoy it. When you do this you are effectively nullifying any sub group's interest in subbing it. I've seen this happen time and time again with video game fan translations, and I would assume it would be the same for anime subs as well. Translation groups just think "well, people don't need a translation to enjoy this, so why bother translating it" where in some cases some people might rather play it translated, and other cases it's just some one played ten minutes of the game, saw that the spoken dialogue was in english, and then went to every gaming forum they could think of to proclaim it didn't need to be translated. Then because of those people it never gets translated. Think a bit before making the proclamation that something doesn't need a sub/translation to be enjoyed. Thank you. |

Tried convincing my friend to sub this, but he's not interested. |
| Watched it on YouTube. Even though I didn't understand much of what had being spoken, I still think this is such a lovely OVA. I guess I just understand the vibe :p It reminds me of Belladonna of Sadness, e.g. the music and watercolor style. The story of how the fateful boy managed to revive the spring inside the girl in distress. I just can't help but love that kind of story. |
Deduleadaa said: Kind of an odd one. The fantasy sequences looked pretty great and were pretty interesting. The music on the other wasn't so great, it's pretty bland imo and god is it hard to understand a single word of what they are singing due to the sound quality. I also didn't really get some part of the story, like when Yuuko gets arrested but seemingly only for 3 months, and some other sequences like the sea one were pretty nebulous. I still enjoyed it overall though. I was thinking of maybe subbing it but idk, since the lyrics of the songs are just so hard to grasp, maybe just the dialogues would do (?). Even if it's just the dialogues, I'd thank you with all my heart. I've been longing to watch this for years but it not being subbed discourages me... |
Deduleadaa said: So I did sub just the dialogues of this. I'm not infallible so there might still be grammar mistakes or mistimed lines even though i did proof watch it, please just let me know if there are actually are ones but it should be fine. Here's the sub file and this is the release I used for it. Thank you so much for the translation! It's very kind of you and a great help for many people in my situation. I'll find some time to watch it tomorrow and I'll note you the mistakes if there are any. I really can't overstate my gratitude, I send you a virtual hug. By the way, great Mayuko profile picture, one of my fave anime characters too. |

| A pretty nice film. The characters or the story weren't anything special, but I like the mid 80s aesthetic. Virgin VS who did the soundtrack also wrote a memorable ending theme for Urusei Yatsura (Cosmic Cycling, and this film also showed some cosmic cycling around 19:50 mark), another Kitty animation project. Apparently they were signed to Kitty Records and only released 3 albums, so maybe there were closely associated with the studio. Some realistic parts looked a bit like what Kimagure Orange Road might have been had it focused more on romance (The art director here also worked on that show, as well as Touch). The best part here was the direction, very cinematic with all the camera angles, and the fantasy sequences were interesting. This wasn't a great success, but many of the staff worked on big projects in the 80s, so maybe that's why it's giving me a nice nostalgic vibe. |
