First project revealed: Porfy no nagai tabi


Plot Summary: Based on the French novel, Les Orphelins de Simitra (The Orphans of Simitra) by Paul-Jacques Bonzon. The story is of a Greek boy, Porphyras and his sister Mina, who have been orphaned after a devastating earthquake. Rather than staying in a foster home, they decide to travel across all of Europe, and thus their adventures begin.

To be honest, this whole fansubbing business started out because of this series. As you might have expected, its special value stems from the fact that it takes place in Greece and is filled with incredibly realistic scenery takes. When I first watched it, I felt like I was being transported back to my grandparents' place from a couple of decades ago. But, unfortunately, no other group seemed to be taking it up, so here we are.

Naturally, being the contrary person that I am, I began translating the second episode first. Heh, I like being weird like that. But that merely means that in a couple of weeks time, both eps 1 and 2 will be in your hands.

So, au revoir for now...
