10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Orphan presents a new English version of the 1992/4 sci-fi OVA *Nana Toshi Monogatari* (*A Tale of Seven Cities*), based on a novel by Tanaka Yoshiki, who also wrote other Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Tytania, and The Legend of Arslan. Set in AD 2190, it tells the story of war between two of the seven cities on an Earth resettled from the Moon after a great ecological disaster. For Reasons™, Earthings are barred from using aviation weapons, so war is mostly conducted with early 20th century style dreadnought battleships:
This version uses an updated translation by BlueFixer (Iri), as well as a new laserdisc encode by Orphan's Intrepid Media Maven. The soundtrack is digital, so it has been encoded as FLAC. For more information, see [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2022/08/nana-toshi-monogatari.html).
This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
