Roots CD Drama

Post by **Kuukai** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 1:17 am

Just when you thought the story was convoluted enough, a series of Roots CD Dramas have been announced. The first disc comes out August 9th, the day episode 19 airs. Hopefully this will supplement the series and not be a complete/partial retake like the manga or the drama that came with the game.

Is it going to be like liminality. I hope it helps me since I can't watch any more episodes on Youtube. The guy that was posting the episode was banned so I never got to see past episode nine.

CD Dramas are usually audio only, so if you don't know Japanese, you're not gonna be able to enjoy it.

Thanks for the catch. I have a feeling that subtitles won't be included. Right?

But I've heard the first CD will come with the full versions of the opening and ending songs to Roots. So it'll be worth it, if only for that.

Of course. You can't put subtitles in audio. That's like having a blind person who doesn't know Japanese watching fansubs. They might as well be watching RAWs, or wait for the dub.

And I'm gonna go and assume that the CD Dramas are gonna be noncanonical like the Udeden ones.

Or you could order the soundtrack and get all of the music.

Err, the OST doesnt have the full versions of the OP and END themes. ^^;; Though buying the singles, or downloading them could be the way to go for this.

Well they've gotta have them somewhere...otherwise I don't know how my friend could've given me them.

I never said they weren't availible. Like I mentioned Silly-go-round and Bokoku Kakusei Catharsis are availible in thier full versions on thier own single CD's. Though, your friend probably got it the same way I did, downloading it.

I don't think the drama CD will really play that big a part in the story... I think it is mainly for fan service and to be funny.

I have a feeling someone's gonna do a CD Drama translation, 'cuz in some Media Players, you could include subtitles or lyrics.

Or someone is simply gonna post the script. It's been done before.

But you can stick the audio into a video and subtitle the video itself. Although it would probably be just a blank screen with subtitles.
