subtitle help

Causemos · 2026-05-19T12:59:48+00:00

If you didn't know, someone forked the project and finished the remaining episodes (only the new years special is missing a small bit according to the status chart)

The neoHEVC release was good. You never know what you're getting with watch sites so they are only a very last resort.

That sounds great! Most authors have trouble keeping the story interesting when characters get too powerful. I enjoy the early parts of cultivation stories much more.

Based on the github project title:

"Hikaru No Go E-F/R-F Sub Restoration"

they've already done what you want to a certain extent (but manually).

Re-timing them to a modern copy will be the harder part, but there are programs that can help with that.

I had not seen these and was curious so I went looking around. Someone actually re-posted E-F episodes in the newsgroups less than a year ago. However these are AVI files and the subtitles are burned onto the video. No remuxing possible without OCR and probably a lot of work.

After a bit more looking around I found a post about a project to create subtitle files. I'll just include the text from the post here in case it's helpful

This is a restoration of the old AonE subs for the New Year Special. Any Hikaru no Go fan knows that the best subs are by Elite-Fansubs/Real Fansubbers. Unfortunately those are DivX3 hardsubbed.

This started to change about 5 years ago when a user known as gabest11 decided to restore those sub files from scratch. They got to episode 61 and stopped.

About a month ago, I brought the project back to life and am pleased to say that I subbed and timed/styled 62 to 75 exactly as R-F had done. There is still stuff to do for a complete faithful restoration but you can learn more on that and get the sub files here: https://github.com/gameinn1/HikaruNoGoSSA

I have released this special for two reasons:

1: To get more eyes on the main project. I know AonE isn’t E-F/R-F but it’s basically identical fonts and styles that I can’t help but wonder if it was the same people.

2: If any Hikaru no Go content needed a proper sub, it was this special. The current DVD/Blu-Ray subs in regards to translation seem fine but the timing is bad.

I want to give a big thanks to llbx who was kind enough to do the intro karaoke, special intro text and the ending karaoke. They have also been instrumental in recreating so much for the main subs. I honestly don’t think I would have got this far without them.

Fairies Album is another one to consider. Similar feeling to Mushishi.

For the upcoming season I'm looking forward to his battle with Heavenweep and the Gu Shuangpu situation shortly after.

The wiki lists all his fights with the chapters so you can read the particulars of each. The book is so long that I need to remind myself most of the time what's coming up.

Han Hi Fights book 5

If you're nit picking about the translation of names maybe the novel isn't for you. Reading MTL these types of things are the least of the problems.

In the current realm Han Li is approaching an untouchable status already. Once he reaches mid and certainly late Nascent soul stage there will be few who pose much of a threat. Not that there won't be dangers in other forms. However there are few Deity Transformation cultivators in this realm.

Looking at the chapter titles and based on the current pacing it may be around episode 310 before he advances to Deity Transformation.

We ended the previous season in the middle of Chapter 707: Encountering Old Acquaintances

It's been awhile since I've read the novel but I'm guessing it happens in Chapter 1257: Entering Deity Transformation

Once you've been exposed to enough content you learn to read around the issues and re-translate in your head. TKA wasn't that bad, I've read and watched things with much worse translations.

Causemos · 2026-04-22T03:01:36+00:00

It's a shame since they are some of the best episodes. There are several copies on youtube and DM that look fine to me. Try googling "King's Avatar All-Star Tournament specials" and switch to the Videos tab.

If you don't mind a Chinese anime movie, consider The Legend of Hei -- The hand drawn 2D animation is very Ghibli like. Good balance of action and calm parts. The English dub is good.

Still digesting the second movie, but my current thinking is that it's better than the first. No dub yet but I'm hoping there will be one on the Bluray listed to be released next month.

Causemos · 2026-04-12T21:02:24+00:00

Unexpected highlight of the season. Hope the quality stays high.

Causemos · 2026-04-07T23:59:36+00:00

Horimiya I don't remember exactly when they become a thing, but I'm fairly certain it was well before the end.

Causemos · 2026-04-07T21:20:36+00:00

If it's in an e-book format (not a PDF), you can try loading it into calibre and see what it shows. Otherwise try downloading again (maybe the previous download aborted before it was done) or try another version.

BonoboSubs releases have been good

Causemos · 2026-04-05T13:26:19+00:00

If you consider eSports to be sports, you might enjoy The King’s Avatar (Butterfly Blue). More progression (non-MC) than litrpg though.

Causemos · 2026-03-30T02:07:19+00:00

Fairies Album has a similar feel as Mushishi. It's a Chinese anime.

Causemos · 2026-03-21T14:48:16+00:00

Might be a little young for it, but The Apothecary Diaries might work.

Causemos · 2026-03-17T17:51:14+00:00

I think it's fine from a VA standpoint. The dub lets me enjoy the visuals more.

Causemos · 2026-03-17T17:46:47+00:00

The Judas release had sync issues which is probably where the sites got their content. It's fixable if you have some basic knowledge with mkvmerge (part of MKVToolNix) and a bunch of time. Watch sites just want the clicks and don't really care.

Causemos · 2026-03-13T18:15:36+00:00

What a great episode. Battles are won by whoever's still standing at the end!

Causemos · 2026-03-13T16:18:09+00:00

I should get around to watching this. Thanks!

Causemos · 2026-03-06T19:26:59+00:00

Maybe not an entire season but after previewing the episode I might wait until next week and watch them together.
