More announcements for GL

Ok time to clear the air about a few things.

1st, episode 9's translation was pretty awful in points as was made abundantly clear to me. Our fans deserve better. So simultaneously with our episode 10 releases later this week I will release a fixed .ass file for 9 so all of you can fix your versions to a more correct one. Why am I doing this? Shageki-kun told me to.

Secondly from episode 10 (and the fixed 9 .ass) on, I will be using the official names for the Generals and Spiral king. Yes even Thymilph. Now before you get upset, know that Gainax are some clever sons of bitches to name them this way and here's why: The Spiral King and his generals are a metaphor for DNA. Spiral in this case referring to a double helix, and each of the generals given a name that mirrors one of the four enzymes that make up DNA; Thymine, Adenine, Guanine, and Cytosine. Chances are down the line this series is going to have a lot of stuff about genetics and the makeup of life. And there's also Viral. What is a virus but a collection of DNA coated in protein? Another thing that's interesting is how Adiane and Thymilph apparently shared a friendship, when adenine and thymine are two enzymes in DNA that link together. Gainax is going somewhere with this, I'm looking forward to seeing what it is.

I watched Shinsen Subs' release of Oh! Edo Rocket number one last night and I was very impressed! They did an amazing job with everything and even put in about 6 minutes of very useful culture notes at the end of the episode. It's very daunting to be making a release that competes with that kind of quality. I'm kind of afraid no one will watch mine now.

And lastly last night on 4chan a lot of people got excited over the idea that we might be merging with [anon] subs. While I'm not against that idea, there have been no developments to that effect.

So tl;dr - new episode 9 script, offical names for bad guys from now on, Shinsen rocks, lol fansubbers.

'Til next time.

I should've paid more attention in high school biology.

And I will always think of Pokemon when I see Cytomander's name.

If you're going to go with the DNA theme, wouldn't it make more sense to call him the "Helix King" then? rasen can be translated both ways, and helix eliminates any ambiguity.
