Requesting Lupin III part 3 Hulu/fansub version
« on: September 30, 2014, 08:09:05 AM »
We have a torrent for Lupin III part 3, but it is made up of edited HK subs.

Hulu showed this series starting in September 2013 with actual subs.  Surely someone ripped it.  I don't know exactly how many episodes they did but they seemed to have done at least 30.  Furthermore, Kaizou subtitled episodes 1-7 a long time ago, also with actual subs.

(The episodes were also aired in southern California subtitled in 2009 but that was local so it is less likely anyone ripped those.)

"Encoder's note: The subs found on the DVD are pretty decent. I did some consistency checks, like replacing Goeman with Goemon, Brother with Pops and Keibu with Inspector. I also spell-checked all subs and did some corrections, where I noticed things to be amiss. However, not everything is in perfect English.

SayronCordin did an admirable job cleaning, reformatting and re-creating the subs. The result of his work can be found here. In the meantime faxmactor started a retranslation, which will take quite a long time, but the result (based on the progress I've seen so far) promises to be excellent. I am therefore waiting with a remux until faxmactor does his retranslation and provide SayronCordin's subs externally. "

Yes. I know that.  I already mentioned that we have a verison with edited HK subs; those are edited HK subs.

Just editing the HK subs doesn't make them into proper translations, even if you are fixing things like names and grammar.  If there are versions with proper translations already in existence, those should be preferred.

I understand that faxmactor is also trying to translate this, but that was when, as far as everyone knew, only the HK subs existed, so the series needed retranslation.  Now, better subs than HK exist (at least up to 30, and I don't know exactly how many Hulu aired), and better subs of 1-7 always existed anyway.
