Lamune is just a regular 10 year old kid. He loves video games and is an absolute master at them. One day he sees a pretty girl selling a video game so he buys a copy. Later that night, after finishing the game very quickly, that same girl appears out of the TV, announces that he is the legendary hero Lamuness, and drags him through the TV into the Hara-Hara world. He has no time to object and now he has to save the world. To do such, he is given the powerful mecha, King Squasher, and must fight against the forces of Don Harumage, who plans on awakening an ancient evil to conquer/destroy the world.
So, this show is a parody. It’s kind of like Guru Guru, but with mecha. We warned, this show is very fond of puns, some of which do not translate well. There are also a lot of jokes you will not get unless you are familiar with other anime that were airing at the time. For example, in episode 30, Lamuness and Da Cider both team up with aspiring idols to help them win a contest. Said idols are furry versions of the main characters in Idol Densetsu Eriko and Idol Tenshi Youkoso Youko. Also, the plot is very silly, since it was a children’s anime, but does have some cool serious moments. To me, the show was decent, but nothing special. But the franchise keeps getting better and better with each sequel, untill crashing and burning with the last installment. We’ll get to that one eventually.
About this release
You might have noted that this release is 47 GB. You are probably wondering why, since this is a DVD show. Well, here’s the thing: I hate encoding DVDs. It’s a 25 year old technology that did serve its purpose. But I have never been able to encode a DVD and then say “Yeah, I’m happy with this.”. I always feel like quality was lost. And to be fair, it usually does lose. This is a remux. What was on the DVDs is here, just split into episodes. With this, I am happy. I know it’s huge, but I HATE losing quality when encoding from a DVD. If someone wants to encode this, be my guest. But this is how I will be releasing DVD releases from now on, when possible.
The subtitles are from BlueLobster, which I believe are from Crunchyroll.
PS: I will be releasing the entire franchise in this format. Hold on to your HDD space, it’s gonna be a 100GB ride.
Question: What is the oldest Isekai anime you have seen? Because for me, it’s this one.

Encoding isn’t an important part of the fansubbing process anyway.

You should make room for 50 GB more. DX, EX, FIRE and… FRESH… are getting the same treatment.

DmonHiro (uploader)
The Inuyasha release will be 720p BD. I don’t wanna toot my own horn, but it looks damn good. Spain got some really nice BDs for this show.

No, I know what he means. In fact, I was there where the “X is not an important part of the fasubbing process anyway” was first written.
I wasn’t there WHEN it was written, but I went in read it. I forgot who was said it first though.

You could’ve just said you don’t know how to encode a DVD. Would’ve been much shorter.
Anyway thanks for the release, will be looking forward to the other parts!

I could have, but I do enjoy my theatrics.

Ah, man… remember those terrible Precure raws they made, that were always at the wrong frame rate. And then called them “perfectly decent 8bit raws” that came out AFTER CommieRaws, but they still wanted people to use them instead?

Yeah, older DVDs are a pain, and you’re not the only encoder (unfortunately) who refuses to mess with them. Orphan has advertised continually for an encoder willing to take on problematic DVD sources, with no luck.

I admire your ballsiness to release something like this at full size. The size is in fact almost as big as your dragon fruits.
choyii
you have VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fresh ?
