Well, folks, it's here. As the Chinese proverb goes, "The road of a thousand li begins with a single step." A 90-episode-long show seemed like an incredibly long road, and I never fathomed what faraway expanses of the Earth it might lead me to when I started it after watching just 10 episodes. The possibility that I might quit fansubbing before finishing it was not entirely out of the question. Perhaps I started it as a challenge, to see how far I could push myself. But after witnessing the huge attention it garnered, with an overwhelming influx of fans and supporters, my determination to finish it was renewed. I could no longer quit—at least not if it meant disappointing all the other dedicated staff members, and now I can finally say thank you to everyone who believed in us, supported us, or contributed directly in the course of these 90 episodes and two years, and happy new year! This really does feel like the end of an era. Speaking of which, here are they, the heroes of the nation: | Contribution | Name | | ---- | ---- | | Encoding | [Renascent](https://discord.gg/HeQTn2uDEf) | | Translation | [Perevodildo](https://perevodildo.blogspot.com) | | Translation checking | [Aurelius](https://twitter.com/AureliusSolari), [Yume](https://x.com/YumeHinata_Subs) (Episodes 1-10) | | Quality checking | MartyMcFlies ([LonelyChaser Fansubs](https://lonelychasersubs.blogspot.com/)), Izma (Episodes 46-62, Movie 1) | | VHS audio for movies | [WOWmd](https://x.com/w0wmd) | 90 episodes is the longest show I've ever worked on, and if I'm not mistaken, it seems to be the same for everyone involved, yet we still pushed it out in under two years (I uploaded the first episode exactly two years ago, on New Year's Eve of 2022-23), practically matching the airing schedule of the show itself. Actually, Mr. Mcflies only caught wind of it in April '23 so it was like 1.5 years for him to do the most painful part—make my translations sound English! The DVD encode by Renascent looks stunning too. I said it before, but the first time I opened it, I thought I'm watching a Blu-ray rip. If you previously downloaded [his release](https://nyaa.iss.one/view/1025145), you can just place the [sub files](https://github.com/Perevodildo/Perevodildo-softsubs/tree/master/Magical%20Taruruuto-kun) in the same folder and most players would pull them up automatically, although I would still recommend our version for movies, since those have superior VHS audio, courtesy of WOWmd and Toei culture of preserving their shows. The torrent contents are identical to previous batches, except for episodes 29, 38, 57—those are a v2. Also, I rearranged the movies filenames for convenience. If you've downloaded them before, you can just rename them. The VHS trailers for the first two movies are included as well. While we're at it, I might as well share some more materials I've gathered while working on this show: [Of course, the TL notes](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J4ATdfuQ6_gLRWofN6ZcwGTqJw0OcSbmIdvArL0mEls/edit?usp=sharing), important for understanding certain contexts. [All manga chapters reviewed and ordered](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u5ndze8LMzqoU7KgADwIkkGaeRo4qRvpcSYEk8x8o_I/edit?usp=sharing) in relation to corresponding episodes of the show. I made this to help myself navigate through the manga more easily when looking up what chapter each episode is based upon.
