Hamtaro Movies 1-4 Revamp
This post is being released the same day as in Patreon, as a special occasion.
Let's continue with our Christmas releases!
This time, we are delivering yet another revamp of all the Hamtaro movies, but this time the fourth movie is included!
To celebrate Hamtaro's 25th anniversary, all the episodes and movies have been released in various streaming platforms in Japan. For some of the episodes that were previously exclusive to VHS release and the movies, there has been an improvement on their resolution and quality.
So the team decided to take the chance and make a final, definitive, absolutely forever last revamp of all four movies. The OVAs were supposed to be released too, but we run out of time, so expect them in the future!
Since the revamp for three of these movies are relatively new, we prepared some .txt file with the changes that were made; thinking it would only be just two or three changes. However, the first three movies come with 50 to 90 changes here and there each, so we recommend you to rewatch them again, if only to celebrate Hamtaro's 25th anniversary! The .txt file will be kept for our records, but we don't plan to release it. If you're curious about it, feel free to DM us and we will send it to you, though!
There's also been changes to some of the karaokes, removing a few karaokes that just didn't work out and improving the translation of all the openings as well as adding new karaoke effects here and there; as explained earlier, we wanted to make the definitive version of these revamps and stop remaking them every few years.
Now, moving on to movie 4, this one has been practically re-translated from scratch. About 98% of the lines have been changed one way or another, not taking in consideration timing.
We are kind of embarrassed and apologetic about the version we released back in 2009, since it is absolute trash and most of the stuff there was practically made up. Please, rewatch the movie, you will find it almost a completely new one.
Just like with movies 2 and 3, the DVD came with a japanese subtitle track, so we were able to extract some information to make our translation as accurate as possible!
We also want to thank Paperish for his amazing work on encoding these new movie raws properly! And DimfStapler for improving the audio. This is most definitely the best version we can provide for all four movies, so we hope you enjoy them!
