HELP US RELEASE ATTACK No.1 IN HIGH DEFINITION! BE A HERO!

UPDATE: $265.32 raised so far. You can be the next hero!

Hi everyone.

Since 2001, it has been our mission here at Live-eviL to bring you the best quality version we can of anime that has been overlooked. We have dedicated tens of thousands of dollars and hours to bring you classics like Rose of Versailles, Yawara, Death Note, and many others.

On rare occasions, we come across a project that we truly desire to bring you but we lack the resources to do so properly. One such project is Attack No,1, aka the greatest sports anime ever made.

It is absolutely mind-boggling that we’ve gone over 40 years and no one has ever subtitled Attack No.1. The show is one of the most influential anime ever created, single-handedly launching the sports anime & shoujo anime markets in Japan. For two straight years, over 20% of Japanese TV viewers tuned in to see Kozue’s volleyball struggles every week. It is a cultural institution that, unless you live in one of the European countries it aired in, you’ve probably never heard of it outside Japan. Until now.

Like Rose of Versailles, it is consistently voted into Top Ten Favorite Anime lists. The animation quality, for its time, is absolutely top notch, and the story is fantastic.

Mark my words, Attack No.1 will be the new flagship Live-eviL series, on par with Condor Hero, Rose of Versailles, and Yawara. It is 104 episodes long and we plan to bring you every episode subtitled in maximum quality possible, just like we did for those great series.

However, we need YOUR help to buy the Blu-ray boxes. The show was restored and released on Blu-ray recently. We currently only have R2 DVD rips and these are not sufficient for this title. The Blu-rays are surprisingly inexpensive (around $4 per episode, compared to $30 for Lodoss!) at only $450 for the entire series in glorious high definition.

Hi everyone!

UPDATE: $355.03 raised so far!

First off, thank you for your outpouring of support for our Lodoss Blu-ray project. We’re 90% the way there! We are also raising funds for two other projects (Condor Hero R2 DVDs to properly redo the series) and another major Blu-ray project which we will be announcing in the next couple days, so please keep the donations coming! All in all, it will cost us about $1200 but will give us literally years worth of high quality episodes to bring you (143 to be exact).

Today we bring you a very special release that goes hand-in-hand with Record of Lodoss War. It is a FANTASTIC OVA series called Fortune Quest. It is based off a manga that spoofs 8 & 16-bit RPGs and fantasy stories (like Lodoss).

They created a horrific TV series based on the franchise which had a limited release in the United States. It was called Fortune Quest L and it was nearly unwatchable. Which is a shame because it probably tainted the market for this OVA, which is really good! One of the best video game parody anime ever made.

If you like Zelda, or Final Fantasy, or Dragon Quest, (or Slayers), you’ll likely love Fortune Quest! Check it out. We went to great trouble to bring this to you. The show was never released on DVD in Japan so it is from a laserdisc source but the quality is quite reasonable.

Hi everyone.

Now you might be thinking, “Wait? Hasn’t that been released on DVD?” And you’d be right. Central Park Media released it on DVD back in 1998 and again in 2002. That was over a decade ago and CPM filed bankruptcy in 2009. All subsequent releases of the show have used sub-standard video (from the awful R1 and R2 DVD releases) and CPM’s sub-standard translation. In other words, it has never had a proper, modern release.

Until now, that is. On November 29th, a remastered Blu-ray box set is being released in Japan. It costs approximately $385.

As a preview for the remastered HD Lodoss, a special airing was done on Japanese premium TV. We were able to capture episode 1 and have subtitled it as proof to you of the quality we plan to bring this series. We have given the script a line-by-line rewrite.

We are 100% confident that ours will be the greatest version of Lodoss Wars ever released. But we need your help to procure the Blu-ray box. We ask you to donate any amount you can, large or small, to help us buy these. Any funds raised in addition to the $385 will go towards two other projects we are planning. (One is one of the most influential classics that has never been fansubbed before, the other is re-doing our fan-favorite Condor Hero from R2 Japanese DVDs).
