Still watching World Masterpiece Theater stuff. Finished Little Women and Little Women II Jo's Boys. The first series, Little Women, was kind of shit because of poor subtitles. Badr93's Arabic subtitles were translated into English and that's the only English subtitles available; they were not good. Little Women II Jo's Boys had a Licca release so it did not suffer from poor subtitles and was admittedly the better series anyway. While watching Little Women II Jo's Boys I saw an ad for Tico and Friends so I set off to find it, but the torrents are all dead and the only DDL links I could find were the [ATTKC] release of the raws and the only English subtitles were for the nezumi raws. Which meant the only English subtitles I could get were incompatible with the only raws I could get. So what could I do but try to re-time the subtitles to work with those raws? Tico and Friends (Nanatsu no Umi no Tico) [ATTKC] Raws: https://mega.nz/folder/4AJXEaiK#Gi79j-chwuwsZAEXJ4f0jg My mediocre re-timed subtitles for the [ATTKC] Raws: https://www.sendspace.com/file/wbv9ed (confirm my re-timed subtitles are usable then feel free to re-upload and share them anywhere) Hopefully subs are all working. I stopped checking as meticulously after episode 25 when they seemed to all be showing up with not the tightest but plenty usable timing. Only episode 2 had significantly different sub timings in the episode. The intro could be mostly copy-pasted with the same timings. I haven't watched Tico and Friends yet, but I hit a lot of spoilers trying to get the fucking subtitles to work. Not going to give elaborate thoughts (blogposts) on either Little Women series. Practically no one appreciated my anime blogposting and a few were cunts about pushing me off to nearly-dead boards so I gave up trying to put effort in a thread / board that doesn't want it. Cunts got me banned although I broke no rules. My long effortposts about World Masterpiece Theater were deleted. Mod said it was a mistake, but regardless the absurd levels of faggotry succeeded. However in this case, I think it's important to share these subtitles since it was a pain in the ass to re-time them and it's difficult to get any of this shit now since the torrents are dead. Anyone who's going to complain about me trying to make dead shit available again should probably just be ignored and if you think this belongs on some other board then share it there yourself.

Anyways I finished Pollyanna. Like I said before it was less suffering than Princess Sara. There was still some suffering, mostly the suffering of others. Largest stint of suffering of the main character lasts little more than half a dozen episodes and winds up used as a tool to resolve longstanding grudges. In Pollyanna there is practically no true malice whatsoever. In Princess Sara there was ample malice toward Sara and Becky to the point where any small happiness they may have had prompted villains to immediately and desperately try to snuff it out with this fucked up attitude of "how dare you not be starving, cold, exhausted, miserable and broken" so Princess Sara was a much rougher experience where I was in amazement at how cartoonishly evil some characters were. Pollyanna was practically a healing experience after the misery of Princess Sara. Pollyanna does get a bit Soap Opera with its dramatic scenes and unrealistic convenient coincidences. They did the "running along the train platform waving goodbye" scene repeatedly. I could predict some happenings just by imagining "what course of events would have the most drama?" because that's how things would go. There were a few red herrings to keep the audience guessing a bit though. Pollyanna's design with the short braids and freckles is adorable and may be up there in like top 10, but there are so many anime with cute girls it's hard to say. I'm not sure what other World Masterpiece Theater series I should look into, but from what I've seen they're really good. I read that the Tom Sawyer series was censored in the English version, has a different intro, and no one had bothered to provide a version with English subtitles + Japanese Audio. An ad for the Little Women series was at the end of Pollyanna so I guess that's next. I saw an ad for Pollyanna at the end of Princess Sara so that's how I wound up watching it. Guess I'm on a World Masterpiece Theater binge. If anyone else is interested here's what I found so far: Princess Sara: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f52b6231af4004cd39db8913c6cd92498cec8d94 Pollyanna: https://mega.nz/folder/RB4GCTTS#QOgJMhIaHMa4eZe7F1WktQ Little Women: https://mega.nz/folder/0dQWSIaZ#4dxE2uoA0uOirpHsLpjNQQ Little Women II - Jo’s Boys: https://mega.nz/folder/JMZSjbJA#HqlHk92TYazZ-AErFlQAuA Pic #1 is Princess Sara in a nutshell. Some horrible misery is in store yet the title card has cheerful music playing. Sara suffers, yet doesn't give up. Pic #4 I noticed Pollyanna moves her face toward a screen in a window and they had a screen shadow appear over her face which was pretty cool.

what made it so good despite it's flaws? I tried many shitty obscure mangas, and only this I enjoyed
