Has there ever been a better tittle for a comeback like this? I don’t think so.
So, yeah, I’m not dead. I’ve simply been busy with a few jobs, moving from here to there, and whatnot (and let’s admit it, I’ve been procrastinating a lot too). But everything seems to be settled now, so it should be safe to get back to work on things.
This is the famous Milky Movie. It’s timed to my own rip of the BD, but it should work with the raws at nyaa without a problem. The movie is quite fun, and a love letter to the fans of the first two seasons (even if it doesn’t reach it’s levels), so it’s worth a watch… and if you like it, you know, you could buy it to show you care, and convince them that we want more things like this.
Plans? Well, picking up everything I left incomplete, of course. You should see some updates in the next few weeks. There’s also a few things I want to pick up, but let’s finish what we have, and then move forward.
Edit: Oh, yeah, I totally forgot. Some translation notes.
七転八倒 (Shichitenbattou): This phrase could be translated as “fall seven times, and then an eighth one”. I decided to translate it for “Rise to fall ” to keep the reason why Sheryl mixes this one with the next one.
七転び八起き (Nanakorobiyaoki): This phrase literally means “Fall seven times, stand up eight”. As you can see it shares 3 of the 4 kanji that make it up with the previous one, and that’s why Sheryl keeps confusing them, even though they sound nothing alike.
草津よいとこ 一度はおいで (The song at the beginning): The translation of the lyrics are more or less literal, so there’s not much to explain here. Only that this is a folk song from the area of Kusatsu, well known for its hot springs. You can see a performance here, although it looks (and sounds) nothing like what we have in the movie.
I think that covers it. There are a few other things, but they should be mostly self-explanatory in the subs. If I remember something else, I’ll add it here.
