I noticed earlier that Spoon released a sub of the Hidamari Sketch specials and that jogged my memory. Back about six or so weeks ago when I finally finished this wonderful show, I had taken some screen grabs of the four Hidamari Sketch girls with the intention to trace them, since the art style of the four was quite appealing. Basically, this is the first. I’ve tried to replicate the halftone-esque pattern that they used to colour everything as best I could, and I think it turned out nicely. I may do a lines-only version at some stage too, because the linework on its own actually looks pretty good. 1920×1200 only, sorry. A 4:3 crop would end up losing most of the image.
I’ve promised to do Miyako next. And before someone asks, sorry, Yoshinoya-sensei wasn’t included in the same style. I’m happy to do a trace of her if someone has a good image, though.
First trace (and first blog post) of 2008, yay.
Thanks, it looks great!
Hi there,
First off apologies for posting a comment about an old post.
A year ago, a bunch of us found this: http://pinkubentobox.com/blog/archives/229/pinkubentobox-fansubs-banner-of-the-stars-iii/
We laughed our asses off. It was timeless humor.
Fast forward to the present. A certain douchebag is up to his old tricks. You may remember him as the pompous ‘royalty’ of the abhnation, whose inflated sense of self-importance is matched only by his delusions.

Boasting the magical superpowers of hypocrisy and severely impaired IQ, AcidDouche(tm) decided he was correct and closed the topic…
Apparently abhnation and himself can do no wrong. It still amazes me how the abh nation has a free pass to blatant stealing without permission, yet throws the biggest temper tantrum when pbb does it to them.
well hope y’all enjoy this ‘update’…..e-drama ftw!
Oh god, that’s awesome. I wonder if he realises how much unintentional comedy he creates.
“Low quality fansub” my ass. We turned that bitch from a REALLY BAD, largely unwatchable ripoff of ANBU’s subs (plus five minutes of additional content) into a quite good, very watchable ripoff of ANBU’s subs (plus five minutes of content we ripped off Abh Nation).
I guess by “low quality” he means “not in proper Baronh,” while we mean “doesn’t make me want to puke with its misstimings, egregious grammar fuckups and etc.”
Not to mention from a purely technical standpoint, a properly muxed MKV with .ass subtitles and the like is far, far superior to a bog-standard AVI with fucking VobSub subtitles.
I misspelled a word (misstimings) and wrote a sentence that says the opposite of what I meant (doesn’t make me etc) in the last post. I guess that stuff about inevitably making mistakes when you complain about othe people’s grammar online is true. >_<
In my defense I know what “egregious” means and I can use it in a sentence!
The torrent is still seeded, by the way.
Oh lawd, it took me a second to figure out what was going on, but Acidstealth sounds like a true douchebag. Thanks for the laugh.
And Pink Ubento Box? Gold.
I’ll definitely be waiting for the Miyako vector. Great job here. :3
