Another stalled project done & dusted...JTaylorPro from Twitter had gotten a LD copy of this OVA and got it captured via Domesday with tanks404—I requested to have an encode sent my way since I was interested in doing something with it, but alas... this was back in July 2024. I hadn't touched this until this month LOLIt's finally done now, though :)So, what is this OVA? Just a one-off project by Ashi Productions featuring designs by Aran Rei and directed by the same dude who'd eventually go on to direct Sonic Soldier Borgman for Ashi Pro, too—who would have thought? Plot-wise, this takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where treasure hunter Liot, alongside his two pretty sidekick twins, are searching for a mysterious treasure that is said to save anybody if used correctly. Unfortunately for them, Kaiser and his gang are after it too for their own nefarious purposes...I had listened to the soundtrack long ago (which rocks) but only just now got around to watching this. I seriously wonder WTF Ashi Pro were doing when working on this. There is an insane number of shots where you can see the edges of the cel sheets used, another shot where some black bar slowly begins to start eating up the image at the bottom around the OVA's halfway point, and even one scene near the end where the MC is triumphantly yelling in his Le Deus mecha before engaging in battle—except he doesn't actually say his full line because the editor accidentally cut him off before he could even finish 💀I like the OVA and think it's pretty good, but production-wise? This is a mess.This OVA had actually gotten an official release at some point, via a UK company that released it on VHS—naturally, this has long since been out of print. These subs were eventually OCR'ed and slapped onto a mediocre-quality LD rip back in 2012. The subs weren't bad, but admittedly barebones & required some fixes—all in all, the adjustments aren't minor, but not major enough to call this a new translation from scratch either.What I do consider major, though—besides this release utilizing a first-ever Domesday rip—is the inclusion of new song translations in this release. I think things have changed since then but the Le Deus OST was somewhat rare to acquire back then and for that reason I think nobody had attempted to translate neither the insert song or ending song because of it. Thankfully I have a physical copy myself, so that's been covered in this release :)Typesetting for the title logo was also added in by our resident Russian, perevodildo. That's all I got. An HD release of this OVA would be preferable, but given Ashi Pro's track record, this is probably the best we'll be getting for now.This can be found at the usual spot under the [LonelyDildo] tag.
