and the subs from kloofy's site here : http://www.subs.2ya.com

I hope it's not forbid to add the links here. If so pm me I'll remove them as soon as I can.

Sorry Bedi, but the link is like, dead. :( Also, I think I will have to ask Prince if he has anymore timings. Episode 4 is done...almost...just need to upload the text. Me = slow. :mrgreen:

This is actually an interesting topic.

I find that professionally done translations want to try to appeal to a wide audience, so the translations tend to feel a little watered down to me. But fansubs are for a more knowledgeable audience and tend to use more literal translations. I like how some fansubs will introduce a Japanese term by defining it, and then use it going forward. It can give the show more of a Japanese flavor.

But when it comes to slang and wordplay, I think any translator has a very hard time of it. You can't just put up a paragraph in the middle of a show to explain what the character just said :)

But I have seen a show where the translators put up a few paragraphs of translation notes at the beginning of the show, and it was pretty cool.

Gokusen might actually benefit from that kind of a treatment.

A lot of Japanese word play and stuff is especially difficult to put into English though...if not impossible.

Sorry Bedi, but the link is like, dead.

I checked the link, its working for me.. try

http://www.verycd.com/forum/index.php?act=down&q=gokusen

and use the middle link. This one is working 100%, if not the fault is caused by your side. (I think posting the emule link isnt allowed... check your pm)

if u cant get it quatregael, i will be uploading to dorakura's server anyways over the weekend. so maybe he can hook you up and u can just get it from his server. he's on a school connection, so it should be fast.
anyways PM him about it.
i got the Gokusen dvds today, yah!
oh almost done with episode 04? thats great to hear!!
:mrgreen:

Quatregael:
I just took several minutes to compare the translations with the actual episode (3). and i must say, that the translations are very good!
keep up the good job. hopefully i can start on this early next week. :beaten: .

ooo thanks for the link to get the special Bedi :)
but damn emule is slow :(

amrayu and Quatregael,

Episode 5 is done. I'll look it over one more time and upload it somewhere in the next few days.

Which one should I work on next?

but damn emule is slow

I got the special + 1st episode within one day... However if you can get it from the server mentioned above, it will be even faster of course.

hey bedi check your pm please :) thanks!

i think quatregael is almost finished with translating episode 04.. perhaps you guys should alternate..
dorakura: odd episode numbers
quatregael: even episode numbers.

thanks for all the hard work! :applaud:

glad to know everything is going forward smoothly.
thanks for your hardwork guys.

Well, it looks like everything is going pretty smoothly, so here's a breakdown of what's happening:

1.) Currently amrayu is coding Ep. 3.

2.) We're considering re-doing Eps. 1 & 2. More info later.

3.) So far our team consists of these ppl:

Translators: Dorakura and myself

Techy Stuff: Amrayu

Editing: Vibius

And we e-mail Prince from time to time for stuff...

It seems like we're pretty organized. ;) Now all we need is a nifty banner. :mrgreen:

In the meantime, why doesn't someone dig up the old Gokusen thread (Is there one? :google:) and start some discussions, ne?

BTW, Bedi, thanks for trying, but I still had dl troubles, so I'm getting the special from dorakura.

@Quatregael Ok The point was getting the special anyway no matter how ^^"
However 'pezzy' had some dl troubles at the beginning as well, after a few tips for the settings and which server to use it seemed to be a way faster. If you need to use the program again later and have any troubles in finishing sth well spread like the Gokusen special (or at least fast downloadable) don't hesitate to pm me for help. Have fun and thx for your people's effort

just wondering, but where did u guys go to dl or watch this series...is there a specific site?? thanks in advance

the first 2 episodes were subbed by Prince and his group, those 2 episodes were released quite awhile ago. the BT links are down now the last time i checked.
the rest hasn't been subtitled yet.
