I'd just like to say, thank you SuperJakko. And thank you to HG-Fansubs also, though that's many moons ago...

After the extended delay after episodes 1 and 2, I almost completely gave up on this series, but thankfully some other people decided to bestow some love and affection on this series, and after watching up through episode 11, I'm back into this series again. Thank you all

I do track days on the motorbike..And maybe some race events after I get my hands on a race 600. I never got into street racing...id go watch but thats about it. I still hit the mountains every weekend just to get away. hitting those 25mph turns at around 65+ is awesome but that 1 moron riding or driving over the double yellow will ruin your day..or end it all. But we actually found a road that has every type of turn you could hope for, and NO cars or Rangers/chp or cops whatsoever. But, im getting off topic.

downloaded and watched episode 11 earlier. thanks for the subbing superjacko.

yes, i was getting off topic as well. just responding to people saying i don't know what i was talking about.

anyways, i can't wait to see ep 12.

Im excited to see how the story progresses. It seems like they are getting into some good plot stuff. Kind of more of a story than just "GO FAST NOW!"

Thanks again Superjakko!

wow thanks superjakko! I just came back. And I been waitin for this for a long time.

The AE85 and AE86 have different bhp, suspension, and the AE86 has a LSD. These are not minor differences but major ones. To be able to drift with a AE85 in it's stock form will take a lot of skill. The LSD will give both back wheels equal power. With a slip differential your inside wheel (the wheel inside of the turn) will lose power and/or will gain traction but not spin. Your outside wheel will just continue to spin without traction, which in turn will only slow down the car.

And also for those of you who are saying that highway racing takes no skill. They are talking from 280km/h to 330km/h which translates to 170-205mph. Most of the cars that we are driving on a daily basis will only do about 120-140mph. Traffic flow and direction can change at any moment and even driving at 120mph when their is a bunch of cars around you driving at different speeds can create opening and closing in traffic. If your decisions are wrong then you can easily get boxed in or worse get into a serious accident. I was one of those people that would race on the highway when I lived in Hawaii. I stopped a long time ago when a few of my friends started dying in accidents on the highway.

Yauuu! Hawaii

What is it like there? Do they have many storms going on?

Nice explanation. It's backwards, though. In an open diff, the inside wheel is unloaded in a turn. It has the least amount of traction and will get almost all the power and spin (burn out). The outside wheel has most of the traction in a turn since the weight of the vehicle is loaded on to it. An open diff takes all the power away from it.

good stuff...

Thanks for the correction. I do usually get it mixed up on the inside/outside wheel on an open diff.

Superjakko, how's 12 coming along? Can't wait to see your finished product. I do hope that someone will be able to pick it up after 12 though.

If someone is willing to translate, I'm willing to do the subbing work for it.

Watched!, cant believe though he made a living in a ladies club X_X. So much for drastic modding. cant w8t 4 12

I've finished it but I'm a bit loathed to upload it as once we've all seen and done this one the journey is over (for the forseeable future). I came on here and learned to sub just so that I could watch this series. Unfortunately, no one is translating any further than episode 12. There is an army of would-be subbers ready to jump on but without the transcripts in English it's all over for now. I'll upload episode 12 at the weekend (if I'm home) and then join the queue like the rest of the world.

There's a small glimmer of light on the horizon. This girl that hangs out the comic shop I go to is obsessed with anime and says she "knows enough Japanese to translate episodes". Whatever that means...

Anyway, I'm not holding my breath, but when I go there this weekend I'll give her the raw for 13 and see what she comes back with the following week. If I get the "oh, I didn't have time" or whatever excuse, I'll just drop it altogether.

I'll offer her $40. If she shows up with a legible script I'll pay it myself and see if she wants to continue. If that's the case I'll ask you guys to help out with some of the fees. If I can get some support, we're back in the race!

here's a suggestion,

to those that are in college: why not look for a Japanese club to
help with the translations?

Japanese club: I'm pretty sure there are some Japanese exchange students who'd like
tutoring or help with their English skills. Maybe get two people, let them watch an episode, they translate/compare notes, etc. Maybe pay them $10 ea. per episode.
Who knows maybe they'll do it for free or a meal. In the end you could make 2 new friends which is always a good thing.

I thought about it before... I studied at UPH college in Indonesia. I have a few friend that was a member of Japanese club (they call it anime club here). One of them I know, is translating Da Capo and Da Capo 2...

I'm going to ask him about the subbing, who knows if we're able to pay him, he'll be interested.

Imagine this, he's working on one Da Capo episode in one day (yes, one day), how many episode is translated if we give him WM... BTW, how much WM anime has been released?

actually subbing is passion ...
something that a person wants to share with the rest ...
if you gonna pay him then it will be a paid animation ...

fansubbing is a passion, subbing is a legitimate job

and as he is not the animator it would still be subbing even if he got paied.

Great work on the eps you subbed for us Jakko. hopefully we can get a hold of more scripts. worst case someone will have to learn some serious japanese

It just sucks that there isn't ONE person who speaks Japanese AND has enough time to help us out. Hell, if I knew someone that spoke fluently I would make them do it! I'd harass the shit out them on a daily basis until they just broke down.

The person who translates needs to know both languages for it to be a good sub. I work with people from Japan and sometimes it's hard to understand their English. Sometimes they will translate what they are saying literally and sometimes it doesn't make sense. I think Jakko knows what I'm talking about. Try using something like bablefish or google translate on a phrase in Japanese and you'll get the idea of what I'm talking about. It sounds like Yoda is speaking to you.

So, thank you Superjakko for doing all that you have done so far. I'm hoping to find someone to help me with translations for later episodes. So we can all enjoy the series.

That isn't that hard to get around though, you just need a fluent english speaker (ie: English is their first language), to go through it and change babelfish subbing into something coherent, then give it back to the person that initially translated it to double check that the meaning is still correct.

You sure that wouldn't just make them want to do it even less?

this new supra guy should be making tons of money, dunno why hes struggling to make the car faster. I mean akios job as a waiter doesnt even compare to the supra guys pay.

His only competition should be blackbird and the ferrari, since they are also ballers.

the Z will whoop him still, kitami put extra care into that car over the others, but that isnt stating the obvious huh?

..........need..........ep.........12.......*crankster twitch*
