Gosenzosama Banbanzai 5-6 (end)
October 2nd, 2009 by Collectr
So, after a seemingly endless delay, during which fans of the series had to endure agonies of suspense unmatched since the invention of fansubbing, only to experience the mind-numbing disappointment of yet another conglomeration of run-on sentences and fourth-wall shattering existential mumbling, here are the last two episodes of Gosenzosama Banbanzai (Long Life to the Ancestors). In the end, the show turns out to be a really, really long shaggy-dog story on the theme of “I’m My Own Grandpa,” to which is appended a suitably ironic post-modern twist.

This show has taken so long that there is only one survivor from the original staff. Of course, the content had something to do with the dropout rate as well.

Finally! Thanks a lot Frostii
I guess that would make me fan number two. Thanks for polishing this series off. I haven’t seen ‘em yet, but I’ll bet they’re worth the wait.
OMG! Thaaaanks a lot
Thanks! You make my day
Thanks a lot for this, I’ve almost gave up my hopes about it. I’m happy to see old projects like this one and black jack are kept alive.
For Albright: Yes it’s worth to wait.
Thanks a lot, I feared it will be left unfinished…
Yay!
Woot! Thanks a bunch for subbing this till the end! you guys are the best! ^^
Thatnk you, thank you, thank you! HOORRRRAY!!!
I’m soooo happy, thanks a loooooot!!!!!!!
Haha awesome!! Thanks Frostii!
Good on ya Collectr for sticking it out
Thanks for your efforts!
Hey, I’m gonna say there’s at least a dozen fans here. Thank you so much—there’s nothing like a good healthy dose of theatre of the absurd to end my day!
I checked this out, it’s gotta be one of the funniest animes I’ve ever seen, it’s so quirky and funny.
Nice!
please start another oldie!! late 80s or early 90s! and would be great if you got 1 oldie project anlong with the other projects and when you finish you start another one..
like c1anime.. they started Daddy’s long legs, then peter pan and now pierene..
It took Ureshii / Frostii almost 18 months to release 6 episodes. That’s one bad reason to replace this with anything else.
And we really never replace one show with another – we just identify shows we want to work on, then decide on the best show from there based on interests, resources, etc. I don’t think the old show division will be active with Frostii.
Thanks guys. I’m a huge Oshii fan. I have the R2 DVDs and have been waiting for a quality fansub. You guys rock for sticking with this one.
OOOH finally!! I thought Episodes 5 and 6 were outdated files not available anymore, but no! you were actually on the track. Now I can finish watching this splendid piece of animation.
Thank you so much for finishing this.
