Nodame Cantabile

Exactly.

People who have never tried to subtitle a drama/movie/etc. think it's a simple task...

It's not.

Hmm... We have subtitles the next day after a premiere in Czech Republic. :woot:

That just means that someone was working on the subtitles ahead of time.

DonLt know, but we have no problems with subtitles. ItLs a pity, that nearly nobody know NC in Czech... :naughty:

And one question. Do you have anybody a contact on actors or director from NC? Or on Fuji-TV. I have some things from recording NC and I have to send them, but I donLt know where. So I need to contact them and agree on that...thanks :say_thanx:

Another Nodame fan...!! :victory: :woot: :dancing:

I didn't realize...I think she's actually picked up the manga too...before I showed her the TV series.

*sigh* my downloads have just started and this'll probably take a couple of days 'coz i'm using a shared connection. it would've been better if i know how to go about the router thingy so my download speed would increase... :shakehead:

to those who have seen the special, how would you rate it?

Okay, I'm done watching all four hours and I liked what I saw... Now I've gotta wait for the English subs and re-watch it. :beaten:

I was rather disappointed that they dubbed Japanese voices over some of the Europeans who spoke: it was CLEARLY obvious that they were not Japanese speakers...

And to dub over Professor Auclair's voice was REALLY disappointing. :shakehead: :bleh:

As usual, the music pieces chosen were great and perfectly suited to the scenes and theme of the show... Terrific. :thumbsup:

^is it the same professor auclair in the series?

can't watch the behind the scenes video yet. gotta work first.

According to D-Addicts, SARS and Siantut are going to be subbing the special... It'll be a race to see who finishes first.

I'll probably go with the softsubs from Siantut, that way I can choose MY fonts and font color. :victory:

yeah me too. i still prefer yellow font and bigger font size.

Waaaa :rofl:, Specials in Europe are out, GOD! :shocked: Just can't wait for the english subs :woot:

Yes it is.

And that makes it more disappointing to hear another voice coming out of his mouth, whereas we heard his REAL (French) voice in Episodes 8 and 9... :shakehead:

Try the Fuji-TV web site... Though it's in Japanese.

"Atsuhime" opener, "Nodame" SP break 20%

I understand that the dubbing was necessary. You don't want something like Star Wars when the conversations go like the French speaking French and the Japanese speaking Japanese and they were supposed to understand each other?

At any rate, I thought the rating would be a bit higher.

True, but they coulda come up with something else less awkward...

Like translators? They do use them in the real world... :mrgreen:
