Orphan presents a new English version of the 1996 short movie *Hameln no VIolin Hiki* (*The Violinist of Hameln*). Based on a 37-volume manga by Watanabe Michiaki, this a comedy send-up of the standard hero-and-party-versus-monsters trope. It's an absolute hoot. Ripped from a Japanese laserdisc on the Domesday Duplicator. The original 3NA subs have been completely checked and extensively revised.

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.
