And here’s Hanasakeru Seishounen Ep 03. We were slow this week due to your favourite cbox camper, asagao, having to fulfil some real life responsibilities. Namely, school work. Enjoy the episode.

Gawd, I am so furious at the moment. The group had intentionally delayed the release of the episode again, because it didn’t have the blessing of my blog post! The SQL server was down! The website was down! What if it stayed down for 2 days? What if I didn’t log in? It just happens that I woke up 30 mins earlier today so I have time to write this rant.

I was planning to talk about a joke we did, but I don’t feel like it anymore. Either way, this is episode 02, introducing the new character Eugene Alexandr de Volkan.

New season, new shows. Our first release of the season is Hanasakeru Seishounen. I wasn’t planning on subbing anything this season, but I just got too bored and decided to do it anyways. Hanasake is slated for 26 episodes according to NHK’s website.

So why did I choose this as one of our projects. Well, just by looking at the first screen on the website and its title which literally translates to “Flower blooming young young men,” I strongly doubt that other subbers would jump at the chance to work on it. One of our philosophies at m33w is to try to avoid oversubbing since there really aren’t enough English fansub groups around to cover all the series if like 5 groups do the same show.

Hanasake is also a shoujo (and not yaoi), a rather unpopular genre amongst the male dominated fansubbing scene. m33w has at least 20 active staff, none of whom are female. So that gives you the idea of the ratio. However, girls do make a very large percentage of the anime viewing population, and is possibly a little left out unfortunately. After all, we were the only ones to sub Itazura na Kiss, Special A and Earl & Fairy to completion.

The story revolves around 14 year old half-American, half-Japanese Kugami Kajika, daughter of the Burnsworth Corporation, who must choose a husband from three men. It is based upon the manga of the same name, which spans 12 volumes. It has not been scanlated into English. Only the first chapter has, but the translation leaves quite a lot to be desired. You’ll notice rather large differences between our subs and the scans despite having identical dialogue for the most part.

Our releases are in standard DVD resolution for the mkv version (sortove), and 396p for the avi one. The karaoke is soft-subbed, so you can switch it off in the mkv version if that pleases you. The songs are performed by Korean singer, J-Min. She doesn’t even have a wikipedia article, so I guess she must be pretty new. But check our one of her songs here. It’s pretty good, in my opinion. You will find that the OP kara is not translated. This is because the song is partially in English and partially in Japanese. In other words, the average Japanese viewer won’t understand it. You can enjoy the same experience as them in this case.

Lastly, please don’t complain about “say/speak your piece.” That is correct.

Hanasake 01 is brought to you by the same m33w team who did Earl & Fairy. Also, a special thanks goes out to Vincent and Shinsen Subs for providing us with the raw. Please enjoy the show.
