Making a little post for this.
lae has released a 720 version of episode 5, since it was released this Saturday on TV.
Oh, and in case you can’t play 10bit videos, try this (EP7 is also there).

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes TD 07 – How will we revamp the yellow character stereotype?
So, for this week, we’ve changed the usual pattern. Instead of me releasing some badly timed subs and lae retiming and muxing them later, we’ve skipped the middle step, and I’ve sent him directly a translated, untimed script. While this gives both of us better schedules, it also means that I won’t be releasing the .ass any more, so sorry if someone downloaded a raw expecting me to.
Also, it seems like the Chinese Crunchiroll-like site, iqiyi, not only has Chinese subs, but also Japanese. This means we can now (we always could, but we know it now) get the lyrics for the insert songs and double-check translations and the parts that are hard to hear. So expect those from now on.
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes TD 06 – Everything’s being F5’d
I’m not being fast enough, am I? Episode 6 is here, but episode 7 is already out. Fortunately, I have no duties for tomorrow, or the day after, so I should be able to pull this off. Also, it looks like next week they will air episode 5 instead of 8, so probably no episode next week.
Anyway, here are the subs:
For this episode, lae was kind enough as to give me his timed script, that had a lot of signs and other cool things (like better timing). I left most of them taking care that they would look good without the fonts, but I may have forgotten something, so if you see anything wrong, tell me so I can fix it. I didn’t touch the opening or the ending either, so you may notice a few differences in typesetting and such.
Edit: Added the link that I somehow missed (well done, me). Just in case, if this happens again, usually the pics I upload in the posts are links to whatever I’m uploading, and in the “Projects” section to the left, in the proper page, you’ll be able to find links to the folders where everything is uploaded.
Edit 2: Added lae’s muxed torrent.
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes TD 05 – Carol’s ransom
Fianlly, after waiting for so long, here it is! The video is available only in 360, though, so the quality won’t be the best.
The muxed episode was done by me, since episode 5 was kinda hard to get, and probably most of you don’t have the raws.
About episode 6, lae was kind enough to give me a timed script, so it should be done soon. Hopefully before the weekend.
Edit: Ok, now that I have some time, let’s fix this entry e little. First of all, I forgot to mention that the raw was provided by lae. He has been doing a lot of things for these, so we should be really thankful to him.
Second, about references: While I don’t usually mention them, there are a few obscure ones that I think should be mentioned. Things like Spulburg, or Carol being named after Lewis Carrol (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) should be pretty obvious. But there are others that are pretty obscure. The first one is kinda loose and lost in translation. At 17:12, Elly (and not Nero) says 積木くずし (Tsumiki Kuzushi), that literally means “To pull down the building blocks”. This is probably done in order to avoid mentioning Jenga. But it just happens that 積木くずし is the name of a TV drama that aired back in 1982. If I get that wikipedia article right (one never knows with the Japanese wikipedia), it’s about a delinquent girl and her surroundings. As you can see, it’s pretty far-fetched to think it’s really referencing it, and if it wasn’t because Elly is the one saying it, I wouldn’t even bother talking about it. She seems to be very knowledgeable about old things after all.
The other one is 巨人・大鵬・卵焼き (Kyojin·Taihou·Tamagoyaki). I must say sorry for suddenly covering half of the screen during the episode, but I couldn’t think of anything else to do. As explained briefly during that flash TLN, this was a popular phrase during the postwar (WWII) period in Japan(actually, around the 60’s, or so it seems). It refers to the Giants, Taihou Toki, and tamagoyaki. Why would mentioning three random words together become popular? Well, it’s a mystery (as if the Internet wasn’t doing the exact same thing every day), but apparently, it created by Sakaiya Taichi (Director General of Economic Planning Agency back in the day, but still working in politics currently on Abe’s party), and was used to convey the optimism in the Japanese scene at the time. Japan was growing a lot economically, the Giants were doing great, and Taihou was amazing. The exact sentence Taichi used was “Every kid loves the Giants, Taihou and tamagoyaki”.
Finally, I should also mention (just in case) the Glass Mask reference with Cordelia and Sheryl around 19:00.
And after this Japanese history class, I leave. I hope you enjoyed this brief (you probably hate me now) infodump.
