Super Cub anime ... check it out!

[zbillster_imp]

Full disclosure: I've been doing contract work for Funimation (aka AnimeLab down under and Wakamin in parts of Europe) and they're debuting a new anime series about a young girl who brings joy and adventure into her life with the purchase of a Honda Super Cub. It's a genre of anime I'd call "soothing." Definitely brings back memories of buying my CT90 as a teenager. First episode is up. Enjoy!

The promo looks good, zbillster. Good to hear from you again.

Excellent job Bill!

:excited:

Can we "see" your contribution in the reel?

So I mostly proofread their social media posts (yes, I get easier tasks and more money as I get older) but one of my favorite projects is editing the close captions on their promotional videos ... here's one with Lauren Moore, who is easy on the eyes:

The promo looks good, zbillster. Good to hear from you again.

I'm still a cager, but I did pick up a 2018 Ford Focus ST ... which I got to play with in the twisties of northern Arkansas and southern Missouri last week. My goal was to buy a manual transmission car (in this case, a hot hatch) before they became extinct.

However, I'm a little too used to sequential gearboxes, so a few shifting gate fails ("Wait ... where's third again?").

Ok, I gotta ask. If she doesn’t have any money, how did she get the Cub?

Thank you, my lord. I wondered that too.

It's a cartoon.

A totally different reality than what we sods endure. :dodgy:

That's great zbillster, I must show it to my daughter. She did Japanese (as a language) at school and passed the * Leaving Cert in Japanese a couple of years ago. She was one of only eight in Ireland who took Japanese as a subject.

She is now in her second year at University in Dublin and has taken on Japanese as an extra elective. She gets litttle $50 commissions from time to time for some online Anime publishers, she draws a face with 15 expressions. It's just a hobby for her really but she has never done animation work.

*Leaving Cert - final exams leaving school at 18

Funimation, et al., actually employs a lot of translators for their shows. Not only Japanese to English, but to German, French, Russia, Spanish, Portuguese ... I could go on. I'm trying to pick up a little as I go, and hope to revisit Japan once COVID and Olympics madness is over.

My neighbor’s daughter is 15. If I take her down to the Honda dealer will they give us a Cub?

Will you be showing more episodes? I wanna see what she gets into.

 

[Houtman_imp]

Lord Popgun , yes they will give her a Cub , just do not take her over the State Line.

Ahh. So that is how one can get a Cub.

Thank You! This was a two-minute family affair. My son, who is in high school, is a musician. He's a Debussy fan and learned how to play "La fille aux cheveux de lin" last summer. My daughter, who is also in high school, wants to be an animator and is constantly drawing anime characters and scenes. And of course, I love everything motorcycles, so the three of us shared a "moment" watching the video.

An interesting connection: Several years ago, when we lived in Ft. Worth, I got to go with my oldest son's Boy Scout troop to visit Funimation. We watched voice actors (I believe Aaron Dismuke was one) do the English tracks for Full Metal Alchemist. It was better than any camping trip, IMHO...

Yes, there will probably be 12 episodes total (the usual season run) with a new one every week. For the budget minded, you could wait till the last episode airs and then do a free trial for a week or so and binge all of them.

Episode 2 is up! :biker:

Crunchyroll

 

[Lord Popgun]

.When I viewed it showed me ep. 1. Tell them they need to speed up the action some.

That girl needs some self-confidence. I guess that will come though.

Saw episode "1" listed too, so didn't continue watching.

Maybe that is reasonable because the first sample was just a trailer?
