March 25, 2020: GfW49 (RC3) was encoded, near (if not) the final; 11 lines revised since RC2. GfW50 (RC3) was also encoded yesterday (~40 changes).
March 18, 2020: GfW49 (RC2) was encoded.
March 11, 2020: Gyu08 (RC3) is almost ready to encode. We can release it when encoded, unless problems are found in final-checking. There have been 3 revisions since Feb 29 (Mar 7, Mar 9, Mar 11) to tweak a few lines. Perhaps we are a bit too careful, even though because of that we can avoid typos, inconsistencies, grammatical mistakes, and awkward expressions. Recently, in both GfW and Gyu, translation is relatively fast (which is good) but editing/checking/updating is still slow. On the positive side, this gives our translators more free (waiting) time, during which something creative may be done (like helping Stardust with Sweet Mint).
Both GfW49 and 50 have been carefully QCed by multiple QCers. While most lines are already accurate meaning-wise, we can rephrase some of them so that they may sound better. There are several good suggestions in the QC memos, and hopefully GfW49 (RC2) will be ready this coming weekend or around Monday (Mar 16), based on those suggestions. The good news is, the hardest part is already over — namely, translating/typesetting the on-screen newspaper pages in Episode 49.
March 2, 2020: Goldfish Warning! (GfW) Episode 49 “Beware of the School Newspaper / Bad Ox Becomes Good” was typeset and test-encoded as RC1. Though the script (translated text) was created two weeks ago (Feb 18), typesetting took two weeks because the episode has a lot of on-screen text, including four different newspaper pages. This may be the hardest GfW episode to typeset. Anyway, the GfW project is now progressing steadily, faster than before: Episodes 49, 50, 51 are all more or less ready.
We are now more active because a new member, Kaze, joined us in December, 2019; and also Hoshikuzu came back in January, 2020. Kaze is an experienced translator previously working for HnK, who can also edit and QC. Hoshikuzu is the leader of Stardust Fansubs, who had helped us with Gyu before, but was MIA. Stardust Fansubs itself had been inactive for many years — but it’s active again. Stardust and Honobono are now helping each other. In this way Sweet Mint, one of the many projects of Stardust Fansubs, is also soon to be resumed.
February 29, 2020: An updated ASS file (RC3) for Fushigiboshi no ☆ Futagohime Gyu! Episode 8 was tentatively created. If approved, it’s ready to encode, and hopefully we can release the newly created video (RC3).
February 18, 2020: GfW49 has been translated. Since GfW50 is already semi-ready and GfW51 has been translated too, we should be able to release a few GfW episodes one after another, relatively quickly — quickly for honobono, that is. GfW1 was released 15 years ago in 2005 — that’s so ridiculous it’s almost impressive! The next release is probably Gyu8, though, as it’s now near RC3.
February 8, 2020: Goldfish Warning! (GfW) Episode 50 will probably become ready to release this month. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, Episode 49 has not yet been translated at all. This happened because the two episodes were assigned to different translators and, as it turned out, the translator for 50 is faster and much more motivated [Ep 51 has been already trasnalted too!] while the translator for 49 is a busy person. Nevertheless, chances are Ep 49 will be ready in March, and we can still maintain the average release speed of about 1 GfW Ep per month — which is good enough for honobono, especially considering that a few months ago we were not even sure if we could continue GfW. (PS: GfW49 was reassigned to a different translator on February 9, 2020.)
As for Mahō no Angel Sweet Mint, perhaps Stardust Fansubs will be able to resume the project. It’s a relaxing good show, an elder sister of Mary Bell, created by the same anime studio. Since it’s not our project we can’t promise anything about it nor can we control it, but the show itself is a good one — warm and fuzzy. For those who only watched the first few episodes of Sweet Mint: it becomes more interesting starting around Episode 13. As Mint says in the preview of the next episode, otanoshimi ni ne!
Our Gyu! releases may or may not become faster. This one is a bit iffy.
HCR is currently being stalled (the editor is not around, perhaps too busy with IRL). If you like HCR and can edit it, please contact us.

Aoi keeps Chitose’s secret, remaining silent, but can’t face Shuu straight.
This scene is subtle. Aoi’s complicated expression is shown only momentarily.

Little Lovers is a slice-of-life episode. One of its main topics is a realistic problem for little children, but is rarely depicted in anime shows, perhaps because it’s not very exciting nor fantastic (and so not marketable). When the seiyū for Yumeko voices Fake Yumeko (who is actually Himeko), the way she speaks is subtly different (Himeko-ish) — nicely nuanced! Also interestingly, Shintaro and Ichiko (“Icchan”) are voiced by the same person.
