Pretty Cure Splash Star 10-12

Episode 10 is now well seeded, and I've just released 11. After some more indecision I decided to encode and release 12 as well, so that'll be available sometime tomorrow when 11 is (eventually) seeded. [EDIT: 11 seeded quicker than I expected so 12 is out already.]

As with the movie and episode 9, the translation for episode 12 has not been checked over by anyone but me (but it should be mostly fine). However, episodes 10 and 11 had the translation checked by HotondoNaNashi, for which I am of course very grateful.

From Monday I once again won't have regular internet access. It should be only temporary, but there obviously won't be any more releases straight away. Nonetheless, I figure I might as well give you a more specific update about the progress I've made with the next few episodes.

Episodes 13's translation is pretty much complete except for the (hypothetical at this point) translation check stage. For episodes 14-16 and 23 I've done a first pass translation, leaving gaps wherever I need to look words up (which isn't all that often, this being Pretty Cure) and not worrying too much about the final wording. 13-15 are also timed, although I still need to do some quick typesetting bits and pieces. I haven't started on 17-22 or 24+, but at least I have some more raws to work on thanks (very much!) to Jen.

And there you have it. Hopefully you can look forward to more Splash Star once I get internet access again. (Michiru and Kaoru are edging ever closer!) For now, get downloading =)

Pretty Cure Splash Star 9

After changing my mind about this multiple times, I've decided to release episode 9 without the script checked, since this allows me to release episodes 10 and 11 which have been checked. Nothing gave me much cause for concern in episode 9, but I'll provide the same disclaimer as the movie that the translation (and timing) might not be as accurate as in previous episodes.

Still, here's more subbed Splash Star at last. Expect episodes 10 and 11 tomorrow, seƱorita!

Pretty Cure Splash Star: The Movie

What's this? A release? Shocking I know!

Various factors are holding up further episodes of the series. If your Japanese is good and you're prepared to check over the translations, please say hi - but if I don't have internet access at the time you might not get a reply straight away. Also, I am in need of raws past episode 16 if you still have them and are prepared to somehow provide me with them.

(I'm not discounting my own laziness as a factor as well, of course.)

For now though, since all the stars aligned at once, I thought I'd get the movie done. I did it entirely on my own so apologies if the timing and translation aren't quite up to the usual standards, but on the whole I think it's reasonably good. Enjoy!
