Orphan presents a new English version of the 1996 short movie Hameln no VIolin Hiki (The Violinist of Hameln). Based on a 37-volume manga by Watanabe Michiaki, this a comedy send-up of the standard hero-and-party-versus-monsters trope. Itโs an absolute hoot.
Ripped from a Japanese laserdisc on the Domesday Duplicator. The original 3NA subs have been completely checked and extensively revised. For more information, see this blog entry.
This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.

@JackAssborn - thereโs also a rip of the TV series, from an unknown source, at https://nyaa.si/view/1163604

@archivisth ๐ Strange I failed to find that one, as much as I searched for it. ๐ I guess I simply didnโt search for the English title with the correct spelling of Hameln/Hamelin, maybe. I found that raw there is, anyway. ๐

Also, if you download it from https://archive.org/details/violinist-of-hameln-tv-dvdrip ; the mkvs do have subtitles, whereas the mp4s have not.
(In case you maybe decide on the mp4s because of their smaller size.)
