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 and LonelyChaser are very proud to present the first English-subtitled version of the 1983 children's anime *Noel's Fantastic Trip * (*Noel no Fushigi no Bouken*). The movie is the brainchild of the Japanese folk-singer and children's book author Iruka, who wrote the songs and the story. Japanese R2J encode; FLAC audio. See [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2023/05/noels-fantastic-trip.html) for more details.
*Noel's Fantastic Trip* is part children's tale, part environmental fable. It uses the bright, primary colors of a children's book:

Iruka's songs are soothing or uplifting, and the movie is filled with Easter eggs from pop culture, including a guest appearance by the Yellow Submarine itself:

I found this movie charming; I hope you do too.
