After 7 years of waiting, I present to you all one of the long-lost Happy Lesson OVA episodes. The fansub groups who subbed the first 3 episodes dropped the project after ADV licensed the OVA, but ADV never released episodes 4 and 5.
Source: DVD (transcoded with HandBrake from an old DivX5/mp3 .avi raw, quality isn't the greatest)
Container: .mkv
Video: 640x480 4:3 h264 23.976 fps (1042 kbps)
Audio: Japanese 2.0 AAC (128 kbps)
Subtitles: English, soft, styled .ass.
Localization Level: Somewhere between typical fansub and typical R1. Western name order, Onee-chan/Onii-chan translated, standard honorifics retained. Songs have English/Romaji, no karaoke effects.
If the old Anime-Kissaten fansubs ever resurface \*hint hint\*, I might be tempted to do an XviD/hardsub version with Japanese name order, untranslated sibling terms, and karaoke effects to complete the "fansub set," so to speak. But these files should go quite nicely with your R1 DVDs (or rips thereof) to finish the series.
Actually, I was originally going to do hardsubs, but I decided to do soft subs so that someone with more encoding skills than me could make use of them. I only ask that a "Translated by Zalis" credit line be retained.
Feedback will be taken at the linked blog. Stay tuned for episode 5, which is already translated, timed, and typeset.
