If you guys didn’t know already, we’ve dropped the joint with Osu! for this series. Most of their members didn’t like the show very much, so it was mutually beneficial to break it off. They initially wanted to do Ran on their own, but dropped the idea, and instead released with the w.0.0.f script. It was all a bit confusing.

But, what I’m sure you guys want to know is, how will this effect the releases of Ran. Well, it shouldn’t. We’ve managed to recruit a new translation checker, so we can now properly do everything in-house. So, back to the original BakaWolf-m.3.3.w.

Episode 04 is actually pretty interesting, going into the new arc. The previous arc was called something like “City under attack.” Sorry, I kinda accidentally ignored it. This arc is called “The Whisper from the Darkness”. I was also mistaken about the genre of this series. It’s actually more of a mystery series and not a mahou shoujo.

TL notes for Ep 04:
– Midori’s name means green. The conversation at 10:08 may be a bit confusing if you didn’t know this. This is sortove a language specific thing, so not much I can do about it since I can’t rename Midori to Miss Greene or something.

– 4:44: One peculiarity about Japanese writing is that the kanji can have multiple readings. Kanji means Chinese characters, and thus many Chinese words are borrowed into Japanese. So, they end up having duplicate words for many things. Similar to how English has so many Latin and French borrowings (including borrowing the Latin alphabet). And then there are extra readings for proper names too. It can be quite confusing. Probably better off not knowing.

Anyways, please enjoy the episode.

    Thanks for this. However, it seems as if ep 3 has fallen through the cracks, or am I missing something?
