Orphan Fansubs continues its shoujo spree with the first English version of the 1992 TV special *Boyfriend*, which is an abridgement of a longer, two-part OVA of the same name. Based on a VHS tape rip by ARR; the rip is terrible, marred by video and audio distortion. **If you have a better raw, or access to the VHS tape or laserdisc releases of either the TV special or the two-part OVA, please let us know.** For more information, see the blog entry. 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.

From your blog: > It was originally released as a 110-minute OVA on two VHS tapes or one laserdisc. It was then edited down to be a 94-minute TV special. Was it? I see on the back of a VHS tape https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91ELgXN7GPL._SL1500_.jpg that it was released on 92-5-27 (May 27, 1992) and this Yahoo Auction for the other VHS volume lists that same date https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/b320071259?lang=en but the TV Special was aired on TV Tokyo Feb 11, 1992. So shouldn't it be that the anime was released as a TV Special first and then had a home-media release with additional footage (like with most modern anime DVD/BD releases nowadays)?

Thanks for the information. I'll clarify the blog. Meanwhile... where did you find Boyfriend on Amazon??? The name is so common that searching for it is difficult.
@archivisth just type the japanese original name + vhs + amazon (ボ~イ フレンド vhs amazon) into google --> https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B008WZVTDC (The second OVA), as soon as you have the JAN code you can find information a bit more easy.

@ot4ku - Thanks. Yeah, even though the title is in English, you need so submit the katakana. But no copies of the second OVA are available at the moment. :(
Really appreciate your uploads, thanx!
