Sen-chan comments on Gokaiger 5 released

a

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.

Ultraman Mebius 15 version 2 released

Sorry, we screwed up. Here's version 2.

Garo's back!

Garo 13 released

GameCenter CX 2nd season batch released

a

Just a batch of episodes 1-10 and the DS commercial. Please help seed since it looks like our automatic seeder doesn't have all the episodes.

I'm thinking of batching the out of order episodes and specials with the first season

GameCenter CX 11 released

a

Like an onslaught from a multi-formed boss that just will not die, the Kachou has returned!

Sorry for the long wait, but here's GameCenter CX 11. Thanks to Lunagel for stepping in and translating while I work on finishing up other series.

This episode features Japanese comedians like Kato-chan, Ken-chan, and the comedy duo America Zarigani. Season three has begun! Be sure to check out the thread for links to more trivia.

Hey, there was a guest star in Fourze that no one mentioned!

a

Tanabe Tokimasa who was Abe in Fouze for the Glee Club episode was Taiichi from Agito! Those kids are growing up!

Anyway, if I miss a guest star, please send me a PM or something so that I can note it. 'Cause noting things are fun!
