I'm watching the first episode of Saiyuki Reload Gunlock from the HK DVD rips that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kintail sent me. I'd been warned about the wacky Babelfish-level translation, but it still took some time to realize that it was Yaone's name that Doku was saying every time he gasped "Eight Hundred Mice!"
I was also not sure it was possible for the production values to be lower than those for Saiyuki Reload, but they have managed to achieve that distinction.

Did you know that Anime-Kraze (http://www.anime-kraze.org/index.php?page=releases) has been doing fansubs of Gunlock? The first seven episodes are done, and they've got a bit more coherent subs.

I can get the gist of what's happening in the episode, so it's fine.
*needs a Yaone icon*
Ever so often I panic about someday conceivably running out of "Saiyuki" manga story, and then I think, "Well, there's always the anime!" And then I remember that this is not a good thing.
Re: *needs a Yaone icon*
I'm watching this show, thinking "These are NOT my Sanzo-ikkou!" I could deal with the Gensomaiden series heading off into WTF territory with
Larry, Darryl, and DarrylHomura and his two henchmen, because they were kinda nifty characters with a bit of interesting backstory, albeit not as deep as if they'd been in the manga. And then there was Reload, for which I'd characterize the entire arc as filler eps, and now ... they've taken the badly-designed, dumbed-down versions of my guys that the anime had and replaced them with even more badly designed, much stupider versions.This is almsot a parody of itself and I've only managed to get halfway through the first ep, because I keep checking LJ. XD

They used the same dart-thrower throughout, and so 'I will not steal the Heavenly Sutra' comes out as 'I will not rapt the lections of Asgard'.
... Asgard. Right. The place with all the rabbis.
And it's even better when they're trying to be colloquial. They've provided one of our household's great pieces of useful profanity, in a comment Gojyo makes to Goku that was nowhere near as bad in the Japanese: 'What the hell are you doing, fuck monkey?'
I love HK DVD sets.

Rabbi Sanzo. Asgard. Fuck monkey. Man, I can smell the fic from here. XD

Ok this totally slayed me!
but is he Rabbi Sanzo's fuck monkey, now?
no subject
Really, though folks! 'Sanzo' is his title! WTF, man?
Asgard. Oh god, I think I just hurt myself laughing. There is a pun about Norse gods in there, but I can't think of it.
'Fuck monkey' is so my new favorite insult.
no subject
Oh, god. Rabbi Sanzo.

LOL! LOL! LOL! Literally! I need a LOL!!! icon right now. But the closest I have is the "ass monk"; it's a joke from ask_the_ikkou.

Just think: you've touched the lives of so many people
in an inappropriate mannerby your selfless act of getting me the DVDs. XDReporting on them is half the fun, actually. I mean - it's all worth it just to learn of the existence of Rabbi Sanzo and the Fuck Monkey of Asgard. The world is somehow a brighter place.
