I'm watching the first episode of Saiyuki Reload Gunlock from the HK DVD rips that 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.

BWA! That's some good subtitles, there.

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.

Yeah. But the production values are bad enough that the subtitles actually make it watchable. :D Plus there's that whole no-P2P-filesharing thing that my ISP has going on.

I can get the gist of what's happening in the episode, so it's fine.
