Sunabouzu

Saturday, March 19th, 2005

SunabouzuEver since Inky retired from translating I’ve found myself increasingly withdrawn from the world of fansubs for both anime and manga. I’m just not involved in it as a community thing anymore, what can I say? A notable exception to this withdrawal has been Sunabouzu, a quirky action/comedy about a post-apocalyptic bounty-hunter/repo-man/total-badass.

Alas, the group that has been kind enough to provide translations of it in English (thanks, Lunar!) has been rather slow to release, with only 8 translations released while 22 originals have aired thus far. The artwork is… odd, with the animators clearly being more interested in making sure that they are portraying various firearms properly than keeping the characters visually-appealing, but the humor is outstanding. Give it a shot!
