 It was one year ago today that Shin Yaguchi posted his translation of Mega Man 3 and kicked this effort off. It's been a wild ride and we've done so much I have trouble keeping track of it all. Even with the necessary gaps in releases we've put out episodes at a rate over twice as fast as the actual show. And the viewership of each episode keeps on climbing. It's been a hell of a first year and I'm sure we're going to have a hell of a second one. If only I had some thematically appropriate video to release for this special day... Well, there is something that comes to mind. Let me see if I have some extra art to go with it. I think this picture works.   Arino's 40th Birthday Spectacular!The translator on this one is zari-gani who I think actually got some of that sushi they had set out for the party. No word on if she got any of the cake. Of course all of this from beginning to end is because of the entire SA Team. Everyone needs to take a bow.

 You lot have done something here that I never imagined would happen. Simply amazing. It's been said many times before, but thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Thanks also for running the OP, Random Stranger, it puts my old one to shame.

Right now, I would suggest going through the direct download route, then seeding that through the torrent. Seems to be the fastest (and most polite) way.

The male AD Itou from the 40th bday special is the current AD Itou for season 16. Male AD Takahashi was behind the camera since season 13, but was on camera AD for season 15. I wonder how long a AD works behind the scenes before being the main AD for the season.

I was hoping that the copmpilation would have shown and translated the bday message from Hamaguchi of Yoiko. I love it when Hamaguchi makes appearances on GCCX. @zarigani Since it wasn't in the compilation video, could you translate a brief summary of Hamaguchi's message to Arino from the 40th bday live special.

Also, I can't wait to watch this new episode when I get home from work tonight!  I used to suffer through TV Nihon's insane release schedule so the prospect of new content on even a semi-regular basis, let alone how quickly you guys are managing, is super amazing to me. Thank you.

I opted to leave out Hamaguchi's message because it wasn't very interesting unless you're into Japanese comedians. It was just "hey, happy birthday, good luck" and mostly bantering with another comedy duo off-screen (Bananaman, I think it was). I remember for years, I wanted to offer my help to TV-Nihon by letting them know they have a lot of significant mistranslations in their subs, but I was afraid of inadvertently offending them so I decided to leave them be and let them do their thing. Then I wandered back here to look for new episodes to download and found out about SAGCCX. I watched a couple of episodes and was very impressed -- I thought, "these guys really know what they're doing," and felt confident about joining the efforts. I'm glad that I did!

My Japanese is godawful but even I know there were bunches of mistranslations or at least really odd ways to try to localize it, but I didn't really care because I had no other options. Then there was Kotaku and that was nightmarishly worse and then there is the SAGCCX Team and ∩(︶▽︶)∩ I will be buying that DVD so fast.

Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but I don't see how they "danced around" the issue of how Nina was watching the show. They just didn't mention it at all, and the "I guess she has Japanese ancestors" was a comment about the Japanese writing and her Japanese name. Did they ask "how was she watching the show?" out loud at any point? I can't recall.

Watch the fax sequence around 18:20 and watch Kibe's eyes dart around while he's searching for a suitable answer. Random Stranger posted:

That's how I located all the places Arino visited on that trip (I got really lucky with the Crab House; it's in the middle of nowhere and I dropped a streetview right on top of it). I've been working on that map for a few months and it still isn't done. I've just been filling in a few more at a time as I go.

RadicalWall posted:I think the reason I like the show so much is that you can tell he's just an honestly nice guy. A haggard old man stands lonely in a corner at the offices of Fuji TV, dirty small cigarette held loosely between the tips of his index and thumb, as he thinks about how his life got to where it is. "All I wanted to do was get an easy paycheck doing stupid poo poo on tv, now I'm stuck playing crappy old games for fourteen hours straight.", he grumbles as he takes a long drag, sighing out loud at the end. "If the wife gives me anymore poo poo about coming home late, she's gonna one across the face let me tell you." he thinks to himself, his expression a dark grimace. He sighs and takes another drag, letting it sit long enough to feel the burn, before exhaling it out his nose. He then hangs his head, thinking about today's filming, before putting out his cigarette and reminding himself to score more heroin from the cameraman. He then heads out to the main room with a forced smile on his face and says "Greetings, chief here. The game I'll be challenging today is..."

I watched the 40th birthday special. My thoughts: 1) Masahiro Sakurai has an incredibly deep voice for a 41-year-old man who looks like he's 11. Or just for the man who came up with Kirby. 2) Why does the show have a composer? All the music is licenced! 3) "How good is he at games? / A normal amount" might be the greatest tagline this show has ever had. 4) Inoko Max not having a number 1 sheet might be the comedy moment of 2012. To think that it's only been a year since episodes first started getting translated on SA - there's so many episodes now that it feels like it's been a lot longer. Only a year ago we were stuck in the quagmire of TV-Nihon - who could have imagined where we'd be now? Thanks to the whole team, especially the crown princess of GCCX - Zari-Gani. But special thanks as well to Shin Yaguchi for getting the ball rolling in the first place! Here's to another great year of Arino's Challenges!

That was another great video you guys translated. I remember a few of the parts from watching it live, but went to bed like 10 minutes before they presented zari's awesome gift, so it's nice to see the other funny stuff as well as seeing Kacho Fighter translated. It's also neat to see Arino's reactions to realizing that he has international fans. I bet that he never dreamt of being known outside of Japan. I know I've said this everytime a new episode is translated, but thank you guys for your awesome work.

You know, like this guy:  Yeah, it's taken me way longer than it should have to finish the timing and typesetting on this, but I'm almost done and I mean it this time. If I don't have it finished by the end of this weekend, I will submit to whatever manner of batsu game is deemed appropriate.

I'm not even sure how that happened, whether he actually failed to pick up the sheet, somehow forgot to make one, actually had it as a scripted event, or had someone steal it for impending comedy. It almost seemed too perfect... but it was still perfect and I laughed like a madman. And once again, thanks for even more episodes to the team.... Three in a row... It's like my birthday and Christmas together!
