Translation: Tennouji
Encode: WEB-DL
It’s been a while since I started this project on a whim, working on a Mizuryuu Kei Land episode and picking up the slack at a time when the scene was at its low. To be honest, I already lost most motivation way earlier and considered stopping (search when I stopped writing post content if you wanna know when it was) but since I had plenty of time back then I just went with the flow for the community. I’ve learned a few nifty stuff here and there thanks to other helpful folks like widevine decryption, etc. But the least expected one would be how this project improved my English proficiency and creative writing skills significantly.
Seven and a half years later, times have changed. I gradually got older and busier on life in general, finding less and less spare time in the past year. I lost contact with a few friends as well since I had less time to hang out with some of them. I remember staying up all night working on a Kuroinu episode after finishing up with another OVA and feeling like a zombie the next day, reminiscent of overnight cramming for a thesis defense the following day in college days. Sadly, that won’t fly nowadays since I already am an adult with commitments and health to maintain. It’s about time to pass the baton to someone else willing to slave away contribute to the community, hopefully for free as well. The only advice I’d give them is to try not to do the work alone if possible. While still doable, it can be a huge burden to work on 7-12 episodes per month while doing basic fansubbing efforts. There’s also the burden of maintaining accuracy/context (like how I played Dacryon for a few hours to pick up its general settings and terminologies) only to end up with a brainrot OVA in the end. Division of labor solves that burden, and thinking about it now I’m just as surprised that I managed it alone all this time. If anyone wants to know, here’s my general workflow:
- Download the raw – shareraw or webrip
- Watch it – Knowing the story helps with having the proper context. It solves the inconsistency by knowing which info is available in the whole episode. It’s a way to enjoy an OVA if you want and avoid getting spoiled.
- Aegisub – Translation/timing at the same time, then some typesetting/signs if needed
- Rewatch – This can be the most boring yet essential part and I’m mostly stuck at this since whenever I run out of time I have to push it for the next day. Rewatching the same episode on the same day can be frustrating but I always catch basic errors and typos here. I can only count on my fingers how many times I didn’t. You’d want to have Aegisub open while rewatching to quickly fix anything you find. The fact that you need to focus and it is supposed to be a job for a TLC/editor so doing it yourself can be frustrating, much more doing this several times a month.
- Release – self-explanatory
With that being said, I’ll go for an indefinite hiatus. I still might irregularly release stuff here and there or maybe upload raw WEB-DL rips as well, but nothing’s set in stone for now. One thing is for sure: I won’t be actively working on monthly releases in general from here on.

Thanks for all of your hard work over the years! Considering how barren the subtitle scene is for hentai releases (at least with ones of great quality like you put out), it was greatly appreciated. It’s sad to see you retire (especially since there are handful of releases both current as well as releasing in a few months that I’ve been greatly anticipating) but I also understand your situation. Real-life (including reducing mental fatigue) always comes first. Just know that it was always appreciated, both by myself as well as many others here.
I can only hope that someone with the background and expertise needed can help take up the reins in your absence, but it’ll probably be a while until that happens. I’m not even sure if there’s a single person out there subtitled hentai releases in English, at least not that I could find. But again, no hard feelings. You need to do what you need to do.
Thanks once more, and wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Your works have become the standard for what I considered to be quality H Subbing. I thank you for all the time you’ve put in to the releases and am glad that you found some benefit for yourself in doing so. If you’re going to wrap up your work, would it be possible to get a megatorrent of your releases for archival? I’ve been following your releases for almost as long as you’ve been doing them, but have definitely missed one here and there.
Thank you for contribution to the community!

As you can see, it has not gone unappreciated. Thank you.

Where do I even get H-Anime now?
No one uploads raws on Sukebei anymore…

hentaisun usually put out all the raws for torrenting each month in a one file download that has all the releases together.

Thank you Tennouji for the hard work through out the years. In the hentai space, I think you were the only true consistent fansubber in the last few years.

Thank you for all the years. Been an H fan for decades now. Many sub teams leave after it either gets boring, adult now, internal problems or just not fun anymore. You are the last h sub site left. Sad that many sites steal content subbed by the scene and post it as their own and never give out credit. I’ve seen some have comments about why no subs for over a month and we now know why lol. Good luck in life. May it give you the best of it. See ya!!!

First of all thanks for the hard work all these years. With passing time, life is getting tougher, mainly considering the health especially after COVID. We understand that perfectly. But if possible, kindly continue to release T-Rex & Queen Bee titles. Hentai from these 2 studios are the most important ones these days. We can safely ignore the rest of the studios and their works. Thank You very much and take care. Looking forward for your return.
