Since I already had a big chunk of the translation down, I figured it’d go pretty quickly. I landed the source files from the first three DVDs and got to work putting together a team. Then another translator decided he’d pick up Kinnikuman, and that inspired me to follow suit, and achieve the dream I’d had for a few years back then, of fansubbing Bo-bobo. As many of you all know, the reason I joined was to help out with Souten no Ken and other Hokuto-related projects, and for the first year or so that’s mostly what I focused on.

Eventually, I managed to get through 50 episodes of the series on my free time.
Plus, the only source I had was the Chinese fansub, so I ended up encoding the subtitles on top of that. I was working with a clunky version of Subtitle Workshop, with incredibly poor timing, one blocky, ugly font, and my translation back then was… Well, not so good is putting it charitably. And since it didn’t seem like there were any other fansubs stepping up, and the official releases were all of the annoying dub, there was only one thing left to do: Subtitle it myself! This was actually my first venture into subtitling, and boy was it a gongshow. Now, naturally, because I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share it with my friends who also watched anime, but there was one problem: They didn’t know Japanese as well as I did, if at all. It was also while watching this series that I first learned about Fist of the North Star, one of the main series it parodies, and the rest, of course, is history. Here I was seeing a show that masterfully poked fun at the tired-out shonen tropes I’d started getting sick of at that point, while itself being a great shonen anime, and with a style of humor so out of left field that you could rarely predict what was coming next.

So I decided to bite the bullet and watch it with some Chinese fansubs (the closest to raws that I could readily get) that I had to download using Emule (the worst p2p program I’ve had the mispleasure of using).
Back then, I was used to seeing everything I wanted to watch available on fansubs, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find any English fansubs that went beyond seven episodes.
I stumbled upon it about a year after I’d started watching anime, and by that point most of the stuff I’d watched was garbage-tier shonen. Man, where to begin with this one? This is a series that’s had a particularly special meaning to me for the last ten years. Here’s episode 76 of the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo anime!Īnd here’s my gift to you all: The finale of one of our longest-running anime projects, at long last! Enjoy the ending that’s totally satisfying in every way and wraps up all the loose ends!
