@HisokaHajime: It'd have been nice if WMT continued making anime instead of stopping at Konnichiwa Anne.

I finished Little Women some days ago. It was a marvellous experience as expected.

Thanks a lot for all the work Alcoholic.

I had my issues with the translation and overall Dub job, but it was not too distracting, the series shone far more than that.

Yeah, a little hard to follow... But as for the WMT revival, it went like this.

Les Miserables - 2007
Porphy - 2008
Konnichiwa Anne - 2009

For a start, Japanese Animation were known to be anime in the western world, far before early 2000s.

Second, Your post doesn't make sense.

2007 to 2009 !? WHAT WHERE ?

I only watched it in early 00's when Japanese animation was simply called as "Cartoons"

where did it air in 2007-2009 ?

were you referring to the latest series Les Miserables

I don't have flawless FLV 1000 files (i.e. best quality video) for several Swiss Family Robinson episodes. Each episode only airs 3 times a year, and each recording I need has somehow screwed up.

But you already had everything didn't you?

Alcoholic | 04-16-13, 5:23 PM

Hello Rob! It’s cool to talk to you again! I hope you enjoy watching the Little Women dubs ^_^

Do you, Alcoholic, managed to do the whole job to the end of the series in that DVD-rip quality without other problems other than those that you mention on the forum topic?

Actually, the biggest problem was trying to sync the English audio with the mouth movements. I had only AviSynth and Virtual Dub to do all that. It usually took three to four hours for one episode, but it took six hours for those that were edited by the Christian channel. I was paranoid that the audio didn’t sync correctly with different media players, with different releases/versions and settings. I thoroughly checked with several media players and synching did seem inconsistent between each media player. I had to find and compromise timings that were the best for all.

I see that you have "work in progress" in pretty all of the episodes. What else do you need to do there?

I wanted to release the “Final” version with dual audio and multiple subtitles: subs and dubtitles for the Japanese audio, and captions for the English dub. Unfortunately, real life obligations have prevented me from working on this project. I haven’t worked on this project for like 1 and a half years now =(

Also, would be nice to upload as well the 5th episode, regardless of the audio, for sake of completion

I’ve uploaded it now. Check my Dropbox link.

Other News: At the beginning of March, the network switched their streams to a proprietary format that none of the software can record properly. I’ve attempted to fix this issue in March, but none of them worked. As of April 1st, I’ve stopped recording Little Women and Swiss Family Robinson episodes.
