Welcome back everyone, to another CLAP release! Some exciting news...after this!
It is our goal to preserve the original 1984 Cream Lemon series without interference from Japanese censorship. We are combining softsubbed translations from LamonAE, Japanese video sources, along with newly-uncovered and restored video sources from the United States and Brazil to create new softsubbed and uncensored MKV releases of as many of the original Cream Lemon episodes as we can get our hands on.
Over the last month, we have been trying super hard to locate all of the uncensored Brazilian “Sonhos Molhados” tapes in Brazil. Unfortunately, our source in Brazil has been unable to locate all of the other tapes so far. However, just recently, a Brazilian collector was able to donate superior uncensored copies of episodes 1 and 5, which will be used in this and a future v2 release. Why is this v2 better than the original? First of all, this tape uses a new copy of the Sonhos Molhados tape of episodes 1 and 5. The only problem was that one or two shots had to use the original tape due to color instabilities during the NTSC->PAL-M conversion process. Regardless, this release is of higher quality than the original release of episode 5. With permission from elgringo, we also made some alterations to LamonAE's script for this release, with stricter QC standards. One example is the Hokuto no Ken reference 4 minutes and 20 seconds in.
Here's the exciting news: we have located uncensored tapes of episodes 9, 11, and 15: Happening Summer, Black Cat Mansion, and Rall Part II, respectively, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. They have been purchased and should be available to us by the end of the week. Thanks to all the support we've received financially, we've been able to acquire these tapes, and hopefully more in the future. We hope to get the uncensored episodes out next week! Join our Discord to make sure you stay up to date on the latest news in CLAP and the search. Hopefully, this will be the last "boring" update release before the new uncensored episodes come out later this week and early next week.
Now that that’s all out of the way…
Special thanks to elgringo for sending me the original script used by LamonAE and allowing us to use it softsubbed in this release! Special thanks to Pedro H. Baretta for the donation of episodes 1 and 5 uncensored!
**BIG SUPER ULTRA MEGA EXTREME special thanks goes to Achoron and the team at MuchoHentai.com for donating well over $200 to allow us to acquire ALL of the Brazilian tapes made available to us. The remaining tapes are being put onto DVD for our source, and they should be delivered to him in the coming weeks. We will release the remaining episodes one at a time, as we are able to put them together.**
