[Orphan] Cool Cool Bye v2 (LD)

Orphan presents a revised version of the 1986 fantasy OVA Cool Cool Bye. The translation has been extensively revised. In addition, an ordered chapter error, which caused a 10 second repeat at 22:10, has been corrected. A patch to update from the first version to the new one is available here. See this blog entry for more information.

In addition, Orphan and LonelyChaser collaborated to subtitle the bonus feature for the first time. This 15-minute short provides a look at the Bebow animation studio in its heyday.

Each animator gets a short segment to say something about him/herself and to present a 10-25 second animation of their own. It's a good look at a small animation studio before computers, automatic, and absurd workloads changed the industry, and the short animations are diverse and interesting.

Both the OVA and the bonus are well worth watching.
