Hey, guys!

So, a while back, I got the idea to eventually try to get into subbing ARC-V myself; I’ve been really enjoying the show, and I’ve been wanting to bring more accuracy to the subs that are already out.  I joked before that I’d start when I hit 777 followers (referencing the 777th YGO episode celebrations), but a few weeks ago…

…it happened, haha.  (Thanks to everyone who’s been following me! I’ve gained 10 more since, but I appreciate everyone sticking around, even as I post about all the different stuff I’m working on, haha.)

So yeah, I’ve spent the last few months prepping, whipping up scripts for the OP and EN, getting raws together, etc (main reason I was also delaying it was because I was waiting for DVD raws to work with, given animation touch-ups and all [and hopefully they’ll fix Kite’s “Trap” error]).  I’m starting from the beginning, and I’m planning to go into it the same as I do my GX subs: translating the OP/ENs, the title card, the previews, etc.  And I’ve made some headway; I’ve finished the karaoke for BelieveXBelieve (and lemme tell you, that was an adventure) and have finished translating the whole OP, which you can check out here! (May just do a minor tweak or two to it now, but that’s what you can expect) I just need to work on the karaoke for One Step, and that’ll be good to go, too.  Special thanks to Jake759 (who’s helped me with GX’s textless title cards) for recreating the credits’ flashing effects and helping with the script I’ll use for the title card.

Planning to likely to work on it two-GX-one-ARC-V for the time being, as GX will be a higher priority while I finalize my scripts (and I’d also like to work more on my DBZKai/5D’s project), but I’m definitely looking forward to this.  And hopefully you guys are, too. :)

Friendly reminder that I, DIO GLL99, have a masterpost with all of my GX subs–not only with my newer, more accurate Season 3 and all my S4 subs that most sites like KissAnime don’t have (opting for GX_ST or my ancient Season 3 subs, both of which are obsolete), but also my newly finalized Season 1 subs [in progress]–readily available should you want to watch GX.  

Also, YOU SHOULD WATCH GX. :P

Hey!

So, I’ve slowly been working on this project in between my fansubbing YGO GX; Dragon Ball is sorta my secondary fandom–though I’m less active in it, I’ll occasionally reblog a thing or two here–and the Kai dub has been insanely fun to watch.  However, a lot of fans likely know how Kai’s composer, Kenji Yamamoto, was canned over a music scandal where a lot of his tracks were plagiarized–three episodes away from ending after Cell.  Toei rushed to replace his tracks with Z Kikuchi stuff, then went back to the rest of the series, which wouldn’t be a bad thing–if they used more tracks to work with.  I loved the Yamamoto score despite that, and while I like the Kikuchi score, I felt the music gets repetitive too easily given the limited tracklist. (Also, a Cell arc theme playing in the Saiyan arc wut)

Now, I love consistency (as anyone who knows how I go about subbing knows), and I’m also a big YGO fan.  Way back, I got the idea to time the vocal tracks for clips with 5D’s’ soundtrack (Wall 5 Project/Yutaka Minobe; YGO series generally have great music, and 5D’s is up there); one of my favorites was Goku’s Super Saiyan transformation to “Light & Dark.” And then, I decided I’d try to make a consistent soundtrack for Kai using that soundtrack.  It’s amazing how well it works in spots, haha.

So, enter this.  As I’m only up to episode 4 (which I just finished and am adding here!), I’ll update this post as I get more done and reblog it/post the new ones separately and linking to this, so keep an eye out! Feel free to send me feedback, as I’d love to hear what people think of these, haha.  I’m going by the soundtracks’ release order, spacing things out to fit the arcs, unless I feel a track in a later release fits better (saving most of SD3 Disc 1 for likely the Buu arc now that the dub’s finally a thing), and also trying to use some unreleased tracks if able.  I’ll figure out a way to release the audio files; either I’ll post them here/NAC, or maybe on Kanzenshuu now that my account’s active there.  Stay tuned, lol; enjoy!

(Also, the vocal audio for the Narrator on episode 3′s recap is wonky because the way I extracted the center vocal channel still kept the Yamamoto recap track there; I recreated it from the soundtrack and used some noise reduction to get as much out as I could out; hopefully I’ll get to fix that with better audio.)
