Aria The Origination Picture Drama 1

Someone on Tokyotosho posted a video of this asking "subs whar", so here are the subs. And thanks to EvilLinkz for telling me that these picture dramas exist.

These picture dramas are actually dvd extras, with 1 short episode per DVD. You can view the other dvd extras here:

Edit:
It seems that BSS fansubs has picked up the picture dramas. Since they are known to be reliable, and we don't believe in competition/oversubbing, we've decided to drop this. Pop over to their channel at #bss@irc.rizon.net to get their version. Or their website at http://bssubs.net/

Zero no Tsukaima ~Futatsuki no Kishi~ Character CD 1 - Louise

Well, it's obvious that Aria is not a good choice to be promoting drama cds. So let's resort to sex to promote drama cds to the audience and fansubbers instead. After all sex sells, right? That doesn't mean we're giving up on Aria though, but we'll be doing them at slower speed. I'm looking at doing Shakugan no Shana drama cds as well.

Well, enough of ranting and getting back to topic, this is the first drama cd of the second season of Zero no Tsukaima, which consists of three tracks:
Track 1 - Song by Kugimiya Rie
Track 2 - Drama
Track 3 - An interview
Only Track 2 is subbed, because the bubblegum song is boring and Track 3 is too hard for me! ZOMG, colloquial Japanese!

Last but not least, I would like to give a warm welcome to Piroko, who just joined us as an editor.

P.S. : If you are a fansubber watching this and you're tired of the competition and speedsub-pwnage of main anime series, how about considering moving to drama cds instead? There are tons of drama cds waiting to be subbed, which are as interesting as the main series themselves.

Active:

cowteats: Founder, Translator
TBA-chan: Timer, Typesetter, Encoder (temporary until we get more staff)
Piroko: Editor
Maceart: Timer
euronymous: Freelance karaoker
EvilLinkz: Timer/Editor

Virgin release: Aria the Origination Drama CD1 Navigation 01 - A warm cruise in a freezing night

And so, this is the first release of Tortoise Fansubs.

I've decided to go with subbing something that nobody else will bother to touch in a hundred years, instead of joining in the oversubbing of the current season.

In case you ask what a drama cd is, a drama cd is an audio narration of a story, kind of like the anime itself but without the video. These are of course sold in audio cd form. Usually they are very interesting side-stories that serve to spice up the main series. If you want the drama cds itself, hop over to #nipponsei and download the mp3s from their xdcc bots. Or better yet, buy them.

Currently the timing, typesetting and encode is handled by TBA-chan from kiss fans. I'm looking for all kind of staffs to help.

About Tortoise Fansubs

Tortoises or land turtles are land-dwelling reptiles of the family of Testudinidae, order Testudines. Like their marine cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises tend to be diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals.


This fansub was originally started to worship slice-of-life anime. What it'll become in future depends on the interest of the staff.
