Garupa Pico, but with even more deaths.

As someone who understands Chinese well, it's so much better in overall... Mainly the subs quality are way superior compared to the English ones...
Whatever the hell this image below is from Episode 7. Yes, this is the official subs.
This is also the very inspiration that got me to do this whole thing in the first place, while at the same time making myself to try fansubbing while I'm at it since I was interested on trying some subtitle editing and doing meme subtitles on Aegisub as well.
Side-by-side comparison of both official subs and mine.
Meanwhile this is their official Traditional Chinese counterpart, so so so much cleaner and so so so much better...
- Manually timed and checked by yours truly.
- Cross-checked the subs accuracy (look, my Japanese might be D if my Japanese is an Umamusume stat, but I have the Traditional Chinese version that are miles better in overall quality, and I can give assurance that both my Chinese and English stats are on A, heck A+ if those are Umamusume stats, alright?)
- You can make memes off it XD
Example meme I made long ago:
N4O, or NoAiOne on Nyaa had did Season 1 (also my primary inspiration on how my subs should go, they released it in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2). Despite that, subs quality for Season 1 are still good, even watching through YouTube (thanks to the subs that are using YouTube's built-in CC feature)... Unlike Season 2 and Season 3. Hardcoded subs in the video... Which in one way hinders multiple-language subtitles, also hinders memers like me to make memes off the episode.
For Season 2, let's be accurate here... I only managed to work up to Episode 16 before I gave up, but the plans as of now is that I will be releasing up till Episode 13, (almost) the same style as how N4O-senpai does, and not till Episode 16, it's actually due to I have a rather big hurdle on making the death counter thingy for the end of that episode, and please don't ask why younger me thought of making death counters is a good idea, it's still hilarious in one way, especially for a series where Everyone Dies™ XD
As of Season 3... No, no plans for now, but I will do it if nobody does, that is if I have the motivation to do it (as of now, as in 10/02/2026 10/07/2026 where I write/update this, there are no actual fansubs of it... Yet, from what I see on Nyaa.)
And before anyone asked, no, not doing Ganso! Bandori-chan. That thing's already on based YouTube CC. (praise JP Bandori Channel)
... though you might wanna yt-dl yourself a copy if you want it, since it's stated 【期間限定】 (available for a limited time), according to the Bandori JP channel.
Episode 20 was the reason why I decided to go down to 720p. Heh 720p in big 2026?!
But yeah, 720p, mainly said episode on BD (which the only BD raw on Nyaa was on 1080p) had the last part censored due to... Geopolitical and historical controversies (yes you heard that right, mainly older beef between KR/JP on the Rising Sun flag, check out the warzone replies and QRTs of the whole thing here).
Censored image in the BD version of Episode 20.
Same scene, but uncensored images on their TV/YouTube releases.
IMO, I want to keep that part uncensored, and unfortunately the only raws that has that are on 720p... So yeah bear with it. Or alternatively you can remux the BD version yourself, I don't care.
Mark my words, IIRC there are no controversial episodes on Season 3, so if I actually have the motivation to do Season 3, it's gotta be in full 1080p, I promise.

This is purely a fan-made project to make "the better English subs"... Because the official English subs release on YouTube suck. Seriously.
