Gekijouban Perrine Monogatari

 Another "Orphan-raw" release, the 1990 summary movie of the 1978 World Masterpiece Theater series, Perrine Monogatari. This show was started in C1 and finished in KiteSeekers-Wasurenai-Licca. I worked on it, as QC and editor, for both groups.

Originally, I wanted Orphan to sub the summary movie, as Orphan did for the Dallos summary special. I even bought the laserdisc when it came up for auction in Japan. However, the thought of grovelling through 53 episodes to find the relevant scenes was not an enticing thought, particularly because I hadn't like the show all that much to begin with. WMT series are best left to groups that specialize in G-rated shows. Personally, I prefer a grungy 90s OVA, preferably with a modicum of sex and violence, or at least a sense of humor.

Orphan's Intrepid Media Maven™ encoded from a laserdisc rip done with the Domesday Duplicator. The Duplicator software still doesn't handle CX-compressed analog audio all that well, so Intrepid also captured the audio conventionally and synchronized it to the encode. It's available as a separate file, in FLAC for, well, Reasons. And no, I don't know the reasons.

For the do-it-yourself-ers, the torrent includes a link to the script archives, so I'd encourage anyone who's interested to piece together a script for the movie by finding the relevant scenes in the 53 TV episodes. Or you could just watch the grass grow instead.

Gekijouban Perrine Monogatari can be found on the usual torrent site or downloaded from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
