AniDB PageThe Japanese government has commissioned a 22-minute anime video called "Bokura no Saibanin Monogatari" (Our Jury Story) to teach its citizens about the re-introduced jury system. In July, Japan will implement jury trials for the first time in six decades, so most Japanese have never experienced jury duty. The anime uses a high school boy's one-sided infatuation for a classmate as an unusual segue to discuss the jury system.It's a not-so-recent video, but seems mildly entertaining. The webstreams are still up (

no subs), or you can grab this on Youtube (Part

There doesn't seem to be any subbers for this though; I thought it would be interesting to see it subbed. There are raws available for download (I can provide download links for those willing to sub it); it is encoded in 640x480 WMV3 / WMA2 128kbps with a total filesize of 161MB, all that's needed are subtitle files. The video has its problems, though: the jap-sub stream is black-barred, and the no-sub stream has lines that don't quite match up (I don't know what the encoding term for this is), but that's about as good as the video gets.
Anyone up for subbing this?
