awrittensin's Jdrama Summer Extravaganza!

Hi everyone! Since I'm taking a bit of a break from fansubbing for a few weeks, I've also decided to wait to release my future project, Papa wa Newscaster, until it's completely subtitled, so I can release it in one batch file. That means it won't be released until probably the beginning of fall, so I wanted to share with the d-addicts community in another way!

awrittensin's Jdrama Summer Extravaganza!
I know, you have no idea what that is.

Well, I've recently acquired a ton of VCD sets from my mother-in-law, plus some English-subbed drama in trades that aren't available on d-addicts. I'm batching them up and will release a new one every week or so this summer! Please join me in spreading new drama to the d-addicts community by helping me seed these batch files as long as possible!

Barring any technical problems that occur in the ripping process (some VCDs are problematic), these are the drama I intend to upload:

As I myself watch these drama, I'm going to clean up their respective Wiki.d-addicts entries, so check back on this thread often for updates!

8/25/06: Note: As I have continuing health problems, I've had to cut back on the releases - hopefully when I get better I can release the others that I have cut from this. I'm sorry!

Thanks for bringing Over Time. One of my alltime favorites. The story is so well written.

Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your treasures with us!

Wow, this is just awesome. I was hoping to see "Over Time" one day, and now that day is really really close- thanks to you. Tamura Masakazu is a fantastic actor, so I'm really excited about "Souri to yobanai de" as well. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

HI everyone! A little bit of an update...

I updated the d-addicts wiki article for "Hitori gurashi" (see the link at the first post). It's a very odd drama - I've never seen anything quite like it. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad, either. It was... an experience. Blink

If you read the synopsis I wrote you can probably figure out why.

Also, for Aoi tori syndrome - I ripped every disc to my hard drive, but 87% of the way through the final disc, it said it ran into a bad sector, and it took forever to finish. When I watched the last episode, the final 5 minutes are greatly garbled. So I hope I can try to re-rip it and get an error-free final episode - if only it would have been like, the first 5 minutes then it wouldn't have been such a big deal! But if I can't get the final 5 minutes fixed, I can replace this series on the list with something else. I have a few more VCD sets that haven't been uploaded on d-addicts yet.

Just wanted to let everyone know the news!

holy crap! I can't wait! You released good stuff from the past and i'm looking forward to them.

Thanks so much!

The health on Hanayome wa 16-sai looks great, so I am going to let others seed it now.

Right now I am working on converting the Over Time episodes so they can fit on one DVD - right now it's a little over 8 gigs which is a bit too much for the quality of the episodes, since it's a TV rip.

I'll upload the Over Time batch either tomorrow evening or on Tuesday.

I've also updated the wiki entries for Farewell, Mr. Premier and Beauty 7. Now the only ones that are not complete out of my 'summer extravaganza' dramas are Peach na kankei and Kamisan nanka kowakunai. When I get around to watching those for myself, I'll fill them in. I also haven't watched Farewell, Mr. Premier past the first episode, so if some episode titles sound weird it's because I don't have any context for them yet. Tongue

I will fix them if need be when I watch the series myself.

Hope everyone is enjoying Hanayome wa 16sai!
