Orphan presents a new English version of the first Rumic World OVA, 1985's *Fire Tripper*. It's a terrific time-travel adventures, showcasing Rumiko Takahashi is her dramatic rather than comedic mode. Original Kotomi subs have been translation-checked and updated. New encode from a Japanese laserdisc. The source is a mess, so the encode is at 60fps, to minimize the visual artifacts. It mostly works, but not always. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2022/11/fire-tripper.html) for more details.

But wait, there's more. Once again, niki has provided an English dub track, taken from the US Manga Corps dubbed VHS release. You can convert the single-audio version to dual audio with [this patch](https://mega.nz/file/rNJQlJIA#SAs4JriQ2644rZkQdSfSrpJgR3egswZLQ2STncFVs5I). The dual-audio version also includes a songs-signs only subtitle track.
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. The dual-audio version is there as well, if you don't want to take the do-it-yourself route with the patch.
