DAYS OAD

Back in 2016, Orphan subbed DAYS: Touin Gakuensen, the second set of DAYS OADs and the next step in the Seiseki High School soccer team's quest for a championship. However, Touin Gakuensen was preceded by another set of OADs that, in the usual mode of such offerings, were comic side stories to the main series. Our translator was not interested in the first set of OADs, and Orphan turned the raws over to Saizen, a sports-oriented fansub team, in the hope that Saizen had the resources to work on them. There they languished for six years. Now, joint work by Orphan and Saizen have brought these OADs to the English-speaking world.

If you're not familiar with DAYS, it's a 24-episode series broadcast in 2016. It tells the story of the Seiseki High School soccer team in general and of Tsukamoto Tsukushi in particular. Tsukushi is weak and shy, a target for bullies, but he falls in with eccentric soccer genius Kazama Jin and decides to join the Seiseki team. Despite his lack of talent, his dogged determination and overwhelming energy help propel him to soccer success and the team to a winning season.

This set of OADs is set at seaside training camp over the summer. In the first episode, everyone takes a break from training to pursue girls on the beach. 

They run into their rivals from Sakuragi High School and end up playing in a beach soccer competition.

In the second episode, the gang is back in their hotel room. They play a Grand Pauper (Daihinman) card game tournament. 

In each round, the loser has to role a gigantic die and accept some sort of "Truth of Dare" penalty.

It's all played strictly for laughs, with the individual characters' eccentricities at the fore. Tsukamoto and Kazama mostly act as foils for the other characters.

The voice cast is a "Who's Who" of contemporary Japanese seiyuu:

• Yoshinaga Takuto (Tsukushi) starred in Beatless and as Kariya in Hinomaru Sumo.

These OADs were directed by the series director, Uda Kounosuke, who also helmed another soccer series, Ginga e Kickoff.

I think Sunachan bought these OADs. She certainly bought the Touin Gakuensen OADs, and both sets of OADs were encoded at the same time. Eventually, Yume translated the show. kokujin-kun translation checked. ninjacloud timed. I edited and typeset. Topper3000 and Uchuu QCed. bananadoyouwanna encoded. This is a joint Orphan-Saizen project.

The DAYS OADs are trifles, but they're fun and go by in a flash. With this release, all of the DAYS anime has been subtitled.  You can get this set of OADs from the usual torrent site or from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
