Cross Fight B-Daman eS REDEFINED Episodes 1-2

Long time no see! Without further ado, I’m excited to release episodes 1 and 2 of Cross Fight B-Daman eS REDEFINED! We've decided to start from the beginning and release the best possible versions of the episodes that have already been released before continuing with the series. Our goal is to give fans the best experience possible. For several months, we've been working hard, collaborating, reviewing every single line, and doing our best to redo all of the previously released episodes. We plan to release episodes 1–16 in batches of two in a timely manner before moving on to episode 17 and onward. These episodes have been reworked from the ground up, featuring accurate translations, re-timed subtitles, and a fresh, modern look.

**DETAILS**

Major changes compared to old version:

• The translation has been fully rechecked for mistakes
• Complete re-time of dialogues and typesetting with frame accuracy to avoid ugly things like in the photos ( trailing subs old and trailing subs 2) [some people may call it frame bleeding where the text bleeds in another frame]
• Very NICE Karaoke effects that AnimeFN spent hours on 
• Nicer styles with modern easy to read fonts and better look and feel overall
• Better ergonomics/readability:
  • we paid extra attention to line splits, adapted the duration of lines to allow people to read, avoided taboos like 3-line subs
  • Avoid covering the OP/ED JP lyrics text with subs.
• Softsub version using original TV rip raws without re-encode, in other words slightly better video quality
• Consistency in every thing, same spelling (for names, countdown, etc), and used the same styles (colors and fonts) for all episodes as the old version had different (or no) conventions from one episode to another.
• Better distro (DDL, XDCC, torrent, Youtube for a harsubbed version) with common fansubs naming conventions (CRC32, codec in filename, etc)

To give you a glimpse of the improvements, here are some screenshots highlighting the difference in translation accuracy, along with the updated visual style. Enjoy!

Project Hiatus, Willingness to Return and the future of B-Daman

Here are some updates on the Cross Fight B-Daman eS Fansub Project: 

PROJECT HIATUS

The project has been on hiatus for reasons beyond my control. I have removed all video links from the posts and have removed the How To Watch page on the website. It's in a gray area right now, but I do believe the project can cautiously return. The main issue I belive was with the songs but that remains to be seen. 

WILLINGNESS TO RETURN

I am willing to bring back this project only if I can get some help with timing, typesetting, proofreading, and encoding. For anyone reading this, if you want to help out, or if you know of someone that can help out please reach out to me on discord, in the comments or by email. I have been extremely busy with work lately and as of now can only bring it back if I can get some help with the subs. I would rather ask for help and do my best to release it rather than just give it up without doing so.  

FUTURE OF THE FRANCHISE

It seems as if the B-Daman franchise is still living!! There will be a reveal in around 3 days with an update so lets wait and see where they plan to take the franchise. 

 

DETAILS FOR THOSE WILLING TO HELP OUT:

I will of course still translate the episode. To be honest I have the next 2 and a half episodes translated at the moment, this is not a problem for me. I can send it right away if you would like. I could not release it because of the legal issues but that seems to be calming down now. After I am done translating the episode I will then send out the translation to whoever wants to help. That person will then time, typeset, proofread, encode the episode and then send it back to me. I will remove the opening and ending so that it can be uploaded to YouTube and then I will upload it to YouTube on my channel so that it can reach all the subscribers waiting for the new episodes. I might also link the full version of the episode on Discord, but this remains to be seen. During the title screen you can put your username or tag so that you can get credit when uploading to Youtube. 

It's really easy work, just tedious. I will translate the episode using the Japanese CC file, so almost all the timesetting work is already done. For the attack phrases and typsets, all that really needs to be done is the font changed in the Aegisub program which I can send you the fonts if needed. For proofreading, it requires you to go through each line and make sure each line makes sense and there are no grammatical or spelling errors. If there is something you don't understand then you can reach out to DNES and ask any questions you may have. This will probably be the most tedious part for you. It always took me a long time to proofread as I do not want any errors after permanently uploading it to YouTube. Then lastly encoding, a typical MP4 encoding program is all that is needed. I can give you the font presets and the name of the programs if needed. 

So here's a quick recap:

DNES - Translates episode

Person who decides to help - Times, typesets, proofreads, and then encodes the episode. After this is done sends it back to DNES 

DNES - Uploads to YouTube and maybe to a file hosting website and puts the link on Discord

If this might be too much work for 1 person I am also willing to accept two or three people. 

So if you want to contribute to the release of the English Sub version of Cross Fight B-Daman eS and want to make a difference in the community, then reach out to me so we can collaborate and make this happen. Thanks again for sticking with me on this, I'll see you around! 

Sincerely,

DNES
