I'm not interested in mucking it up with censorship

Just so you know, I wouldn’t watch this for the sex scenes since it’s ludicrously censored by the great gray blobs of pixels. This is really more akin to slice of life than hentai, which is odd if compared to other series from Bow Ditama (oddly enough, no water sports in this).

Batch torrent for both episodes.

Summary: The relationship between high school lovers, their day-to-day life and sex life. Main character is the female lead, Nami, who loves her boyfriend, Kenji, but worries that he might not feel the same since he’s often cold towards her. Main focus is on the progression of their relationship while others try to meddle with it.

Motivation for subbing this: 2009 was a good year for anime based on the works of Bow Ditama, there was the Fight Ippatsu Juden-chan!! anime, the continuation of the KissxSis OVAs and even a couple of Mahoromatic OVAs. Whenever a site like Anime News Network has a page about them it’d always read “Ditama had previous created Kibun Kibun” or some variation of that near the end of the article. So I got curious, it seemed no one had subbed it and there was nary a summary of it anywhere consisting of no more than one (incomplete) sentence. So here we are now with our second project.

It took forever because our first translator disappeared, the second on flaked out, the third potential one said “it’s not hentai enough” (lulz), and then the first translator came back but promptly disappeared again shortly thereafter… So I asked for a favor from another translator I knew just so I could finally get this done.

    Awesome!
    I wonder if these were done by using the .AVI raws that have been easily available on the net.

    ep01
    .avi raw (XviD): 252.661.912 bytes
    this (h.264 inside .mkv): 255.876.079 bytes

    ep02
    .avi raw (XviD): 348.624.104 bytes
    this (h.264 inside. mkv): 351.557.876 bytes

    Anyway, this one looks sharper. Sharpening filter probably, as there’s similar defects to the video in .avi raws and the sample screenshot above. Even if it was just filtering and not a better source, it still looks better than the .avi raws… plus the obvious difference that this is translated, the biggest plus for 99% of otaku who don’t have fluency in Japanese.

    Good job!

    yup, we used the raws that have been out there for awhile, but our encoder tired to make them less horrific on the eyes by trying to get rid of some of the blur and ghosting.
