Kamen Rider Agito 16 released

Gokaiger 46 HD released

aa

I guess this week's pics are based on dinosaur Sentai. (The pic on the left is unused footage from the last episode. Enjoy it, since you'll probably never see it in motion.)

Also breaking news, Megaupload.com gets shut down? Wow, that's scary.

GameCenter CX anyone?

a

Hey guys, if you're here from the Kotaku link, you can download GameCenter CX a couple ways.

You can download it off our tracker using Bittorrent. Luckily I just rebatched the files so they should still be relatively well seeded. It's sorta chronological. The first season is batched with some of the random stuff that happens after the second season. And the second season is in a batch of its own. And the recently released first episode of the third season, episode 011, is by itself.

Or you can us direct download links off the forums.

Hopefully more sooner than later.

SOPA blackout day?

So what do you guys think of the black out for other sites? Obviously TN would be the last group to support SOPA, but I don't think taking down our site would be helpful. I dislike people making political statements at the expense of other people's convenience. It'd be one thing to say "No, don't support SOPA for these reasons" and "I'm withholding my services unless you support my ideas." That's just me though.

Sometimes radical situations call for radical actions. I can't say I dislike the attention that SOPA is getting nor the effect it's having on the congressmen who will decide on it.

QC Recruiting session

So it's come time again to call for more QC recruits. The ideal candidate must love the shows we do, particularly the older ones since that's where we need the most help. QC work involves watching a show and looking for errors and making suggestions.

I really want someone who has the free time to work on the show within a reasonable amount of time. Someone who is good at communication. Someone who's smart and knows what they're talking about. Knowing Japanese is good too, but not a requirement.

Anyway, if this sounds like something you'd want to do, just send me a PM over the forums. Tell me a bit about yourself and why you would be good at something like this.

Sen-chan comments on Gokaiger 5 released

Gokaiger 5 March 20, 2011 Commentary by Sen-chan (Itou Yousuke)

So this is an interesting release for us. Ever since we found the footage for this, we've known that we wanted to do it. (I believe it's just from Itou Yousuke's ustream archive, so you might be able to downloads/stream the full thing still)

The thing is... there was a large technical hurdle. We knew we wanted to overlay Sen's video onto the actual episode itself, but we didn't know how. We thought we'd need some crazy video editing software or something. (Turns out it's actual a very simple filter in avisynth.)

The other problem we had is that we didn't know how long the commercial breaks were (they're not included in our raws). So I had to kind of guess on that based on Sen's comments. Not a bad job, eh? The actual sub is from the Blu-ray rip, but the 199 Heroes promo at the end is from the original release. You have no idea how convoluted my setup was at the end XD

Sorry for the sloppy composition for the first few clips. As you may have gathered, Sen-chan (Itou Yousuke) started his video feed nearly 40 minutes before the show started. So I wanted to sub some stuff, but cut out the hundreds of "Good morning!" "Here's the number of people watching the feed now!" filler that was the first 37 minutes.

Other random things to take into consideration was where to position's Sen's commentary lines during the actual show and where to put his video. Originally Sen's video covered up the bottom subtitles, but I was able to clip it so that it's visible now.
 

Just in time for Friday the 13, Agito 13 released

a

It's weird to see Akiyama Rina so young. Nowadays you see her as Naomi whenever Den-O makes a guess appearance. I wonder if there'll be a fifth year anniversary movie for Den-O?

Splashes?

Anyone want to make us some new splashes? Garo (1280x720) or for older shows like Agito, Kuuga(720x404), DaiRanger, MegaRanger, ZyuRanger (640x480), etc. would be good.

GameCenter [CX] Batch with all the future episodes released

a

Back when there were brackets around the CX.

I know this is sloppy, but I threw in the future episodes in that batch too. Like Transformers and the Ultraman ones. Maybe I'll rebatch them as more episodes come out.

Anyway, please move your files over if you were in the middle of downloading. And help seed too please, the seeder doesn't have these files either.
