Warning about Sentai's release of Koihime Muso.

For those interesting in buying Koihime Muso be warned. Sentai used the same subtitle script from crunchyroll. It's full of grammar errors, missed lines, engrish etc.

Wtf Sentai? How unprofessional can you get? You think people want to pay money for a speed sub?

As long as we're on the subject. Here's the fun part for you. I'm confused as to which version they got. Allow me to explain.

You see in addition to things like reducing/removing steam, some if not all of the "Chibi Scenes" were replaced by normal scenes. A good example is in episode 2 around the 9:55 or so mark.

Checking episode 2 of the DVD and it's the version with the chibi scene. Now before you scream, more must be said as I did additional checking. Check of scenes involving nudity.

Since in the broadcast version the stream should be there and in the DVD version, the stream should be removed. So I went to episode 9 which was a perfect test.

The R1 DVD version of that scene was the uncensored version of the scene as opposed to the censored version you would see through the broadcast version.

The only thing, I can think of is that, the Japanese might have created two uncensored versions of the show. One that retains the "chibi" scenes and one that replaces them.

If episode 2 is any indication, we might have gotten the one that retains them. I'd need to watch the episodes in full and do constant checking of err files just to be sure.

One thing I wonder is this. How was it in the Japanese DVD? I think I heard somewhere that both versions were included, but I could be remembering wrong.

In any case, I'm not sure if this is the fault of Sentai or the Japanese. Perhaps Sentai wasn't willing to "pay" enough to get both versions. Or maybe the Japanese were against letting the other version be released, I have no idea.

I also have mixed feelings on it. Since ideally, I would want both versions. On the other hand, I do kind of like the chibi scenes that the series had. They're amusing.

It wasn't a very good show anyway so it doesn't matter as much as the decent titles.

Every show is someone's favorite. Besides, good show or bad, no show, especially sub-only ones, deserve to get horrible quality control. Seriously, there is not a ton of work to be done on sub-only shows, so how can something like this happen? Read the script and make corrections where needed. The end.

well censorship is the normal now. I might still pick up the dvd's. I enjoyed the show.
