Area88 Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) SPT LAYZNER TV - 1985 - FANSUB THREAD - EPISODE 9 - RELEASED - Spt Layzner is one of the best mech shows of all time. It's renound for being the darkest and most angsty tv series from the 80's. If you thought Gundam Zeta was depressing then wait untill you see this amazing show. Attempted to be digitally fansubbed twice already, Anime Dreams the first in 2004, then Shin Getter in 2005, with only one episode ever been completed. This prompted ACR to go into unknown territory and start fansubbing the series ourselves. Episodes 1-9 provided below: Download - Spt Layzner - Episodes 1 to 9 - Torrent (Click Here) All our anime releases including one shot OVA's, can be found below: : Complete ACR Torrent Page (Click Here) STAY TUNED Edited April 5, 2009 by Area88 Quote
Area88 Posted June 7, 2007 Author Posted June 7, 2007 Don't be sad, lol. The whole purpose of this thread is to provide you with the first episode free of charge. Quote
Hoptimus Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I cant do it. I will get into and then my OCD will kick in. Its either all or nothin! Quote
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) Love the 80s robot shows. Too much CG these days. How about you make low quality versions for us all for speedy download. More exposure means more chance of license right? Edited June 7, 2007 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks for this. If this were my PC, I'd be downloading it now. I love 80's mecha. Quote
Fort Max Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) Ooh, I missed this before, thanks for posting it. Edit: Watched it and it's pretty damn good for an opening episode, would love to see the rest. Edited June 11, 2007 by Fort Max Quote
MilSpex Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Thanks for this, this has designs by Mamoru Nagano correct? His ultra elegant Five Star Stories mecha have always fascinated me. Quote
Fort Max Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Seems they are all ole Kunio's work, http://www.zincpanic.com/view_series.phtml?characters=513 Quote
chrono Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Bandai licensed Spt Layzner for US release in 2001. They had fully translated the show only to find out that their video masters were damaged. They requested replacements from Sunrise but they sadly denied them access to anything other material. Sounds like Sunrise intended to screw over Bandai from the beginning on the liscense! The art looks pretty good, so I'll have to look up a bittorrent link on the series! Quote
MilSpex Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 Seems they are all ole Kunio's work, http://www.zincpanic.com/view_series.phtml?characters=513 ah! Of course. For some reason I was thinking of L-Gaim. Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 Area 88, your classic 80s threads are the bomb!!! Quote
Area88 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Posted June 13, 2007 Thanks guys for the appreciation, i try my best I defintly plan on uploading some more rare 80's stuff soon. Quote
Area88 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Guys I'm pleased to announce I'm currently fansubbing Spt Layzner. Episode 2 and 3 are finished. A torrent is now in the making thanks to the generosity of a user on another forum. The video quality is farily decent but is is from the HKDVD boxset. To my knowledge they sourced this anime from the laserdiscs so it doesn't use the remastered print found on the R2 dvds. Because HKDVD subtitles are notoriously bad, I've replaced them all with the Lupin Gang scripts, all the subtitles are timed properly and the scripts have been fixed up to fill in any missing dialogue or poor grammar. Anyway it should meet with your satisfaction, I hope, lol. Anyway let me know what you think. Links for the episodes are also be included at the top of this thread. Episodes 4 and 5 will be coming very shortly. Edited June 22, 2008 by Area88 Quote
Gui Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Sorry if the question is dumb, but is this related to the recent release of eps 1 to 3 by ACR? Quote
Area88 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) No worries, I'm happy to awnser all questions and yours is a pretty good one. That torrent is indeed ours, we released it yesterday morning. I started a fansub group with a member from a different forum. We are now hoping to release episodes of Spt Layzner in a timely manner. Btw, Episode 1 is not our own work (belongs to Shin Getter) and will be replaced by our own asap. Episode 4 is very near completion so expect it in the next couple of days.

Gui Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks Really eager to see this show: classics never die... Quote
ChrisG Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 I saw a version 2 listed on Animesuki....what's different in it? Quote
Area88 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Posted September 4, 2007 I saw a version 2 listed on Animesuki....what's different in it? A better, higher quality version of Episode 1. Episodes 2 and 3 are the same as the last torrent. Quote
rikiryou Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Ah, fair enough. So the buggy subs are patched up then? And thanks for subbing this awesome show. Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Awesome that your releasing this, even if the group name sounds a tad odd. If you're using Lupin Gang's subs, you may want to credit them with their tag [Lupin]. Always nice to see oldschool stuff, especially now that I have the space for it (I saw 1 back when you first released it). Quote
Fort Max Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks so much for releasing these, I've been hoping for ages now to see this show. Quote
danth Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Great stuff! Any more coming? I'd like to know if Area88 is still alive. Quote
Area88 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Great news guys, Episodes 7 and 8 are finished and on their way. They should be released on animesuki in the next few days. Another suprise is planned too from our group. The opening post in this thread has been redesigned. All updates and new episodes will be posted. All feedback and questions welcome. Quote
Sulendil Ang Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Wow, so you're alive after all, Area 88! Nice to see you again! Again, great news from you. Keep up the good job, my friend! Quote
