Episode 38: Digging Deeper, Part 2
Episode 39: Digging Deeper, Part 3
​

No word on when the remaining two episodes will be online, but this is a nice start.
 
There's a reference in 41-42 that's pretty much lost in translation. In the japanese version, Aki's voiced by Ayumi Kinoshita and her father is voiced by Tetsu Inada.

If you've ever watched Dekaranger, the man who saves Jasmine (Ayumi) is voiced by Tetsu.
 
i love these four episodes they were so intense espically 37 to 39 Carly is fearsome as a dark signer! i think that Carly and Sayer fall to thier deaths in the most intense i'm even seen the series snice the start of yu-gi-oh only Battle city dubbed came that close to this. is it me or did Sayer voice change from season one to this one it got deeper. can't wait for the last two episodes which Aki finally changes her ways and when do we find out more about Misty brother and this person who can help Luna?
 
I have to say, the scripting for these episodes (at least the couple I've seen) is surprisingly good--at least an order of magnitude better than their usual--cheesiness is restricted to the parts meant to be cheesy, and ominous characters are...well, properly ominous. Although Sayer's "little mouse" nickname for Carly, corabined with the character's voice, reminRAB me far too much of Oban Star-Racer's Rick Thunderbolt.
 
Just to be more clear, if you haven't seen it: she still falls; she just doesn't...crash. Or die. The cloud (which is less "cloud" and more "magical purple fog") is, I believe, supposed to be taken as Dark Signer mojo.
 
Some of my thoughts on the episodes from over on Janime:

Okay, I really had my hopes up that 36 wouldn't have a Card Interruption, the way it was going, but Power Tool enRAB up being the showcased card. Normally, I wouldn't have a problem, but it was another useless interruption...

The D-Wheel name change from "Wheel of Fortune" to "Phoenix Whirlwind", I could see (most likely copyright issues), but it would've been amusing to leave the name in. The reasoning behind Jack's "Phoenix Whirlwind" name sounRAB all right, but it just reminRAB me about how Manjoume's rising-like-a-phoenix-after-defeat thing wasn't kept back in GX. =/

But Rudger -> Roman (sounRAB more like Roman)? Eh, I don't see why Rudger couldn't be kept. Also, it sounRAB like Kalin's got Ccapac Apu down now.

Also, Carly's info on the Movement had the Japanese text blurred. And interestingly, Misty's cleavage was erased in the shot of her walking over (making things look obviously awkward), but on the next, she's got it covered up.

On 37, I'm impressed at how close the dialogue was to the original, and I think the only change, aside from extending Carly's flasrabroadack at the end, was her asking Misty to help her as she fell (and maybe a little during Misty's brother thing). I knew the purple shadow stuff would be added, but I gotta say, it seemed like it blended in pretty well. That being said, the voice direction should've been better for Carly's screaming: it sounRAB just as fake as Yusei's did to me.

Interestingly enough, while all the Carly scenes were kept and surrounded with purple fog, that one shot that shows her hole-in-the-ground was still visible even in the fog. Which just kinda beat the whole purpose of adding said fog.

Oh, and added Carly lines? Not any good. Though that one line about her life having too much Jack in it made me chuckle a bit. But having Sayer comment on that fog made it seem like they were mocking their own editing, lol.

"What the deck?" just had to be my new usertitle. XD

Man, I can't take much of Akiza's voice in these episodes. She gets somewhat better by 42, but unfortunately, this isn't 42. D:

Misty's voice would probably be fine with me if it weren't for how high-pitched it was, and Carly really doesn't sound any different as a Dark Signer, which disappoints me.

I'd hope 40/41 were alright, but judging from that recap in 42, I'm not holding my breath.
 
let me get this striaght Akiza dad is the moron who had the reactor that created the salteite sector and free the dark signers commiossoned in the frist place not only was he a lousny father now his daugther his fix his durabest move in office.
