Doctor Maki?!

Dilbert
Was reading Dilbert today and it reminded me of Dr. Maki.

Anyone have the soundtrack to the OOO/W movie?

I could really use a scan of the lyrics for the song used on this CD. Send me an e-mail if you can help with this. Thanks!

OOO 36 HD released, sorta

Boo, looks like no one in distro is around. But the episode has been encoded, so you can get it from that link. A torrent will be added later.

Release 2700: Kamen Rider OOO 36 SD and Junction 4

Putotyra

OOO 36 released

We've finally made it to release 2700. Hitting 3000 shouldn't be too far off. We didn't have anything special planned, sorry, sometimes it's just luck of the draw. But in a way, having a Kamen Rider TV series episode be an anniversary release is very fitting since we spend most of our time working on the weekly shows.

So sit down, kids. Let me tell you a story. Every Saturday night, our magical workers will collect the raw videos from Japan, which is in the future for us. Our timers will work fast and furiously to have a pretime script ready for translation. Then sometime between Saturday night and Sunday afternoon scripts will be ready for typesetting and editing. Then over the course of a week, QCers will pour over the videos and we'll argue and try to polish the subs up. The reason it takes so much time is because, adding polish is really important. Anyone who has every made anything can probably attest to the magnitudes of improvements that each iteration adds to a piece of work.

Consequently, there's not as much time left in the week for working on non-weeklys. The staff have been talking about it over the last month, and I think I'm doing a better job about trying to do a little something each week, to help stuff keep going. the unfortunate reality is that we have a lot of backburner projects, and we just can't work on all of them at the same time. Stuff is usually constantly being worked on, but I don't think it's useful for the consumer to know the nitty-gritty details. I mean really, you guys just want to know when the next release is. So while there'll never be true transparency to the process, you can always check out our Twitter or something, where I'll sometimes drop a hint about what's going on. It's not something I want to put on the forums because, there's nothing worthwhile to discuss about it. Everything is easy to do when you're not a part of the actual process, and really, added stress and an artificial obligation to the fans won't get the work done faster. But at least the Twitter feed will give people a glimpse under the veil, so hopefully this will appease some people.

Not that I want to paint all the fans as impatient clods. Most people are pretty awesome and it's nice to be a party of a community who enjoys the same stuff as oneself. The donation drive for the servers every year is a piece of cake thanks to you guys. It makes me happy that we have a website and other stuff thanks to your support. So enjoy this release, and hopefully we'll have more backburner stuff coming out this summer.

Gokaiger 15 SD and Promo MV released

Can you take the heat?!

So there's a couple notes in the thread this week, check them out if you want some trivia.

The music video is low quality because the only version I know of is from Youtube. As far as I know, there wasn't a DVD version released.

Status for Gokaiger 14 HD

So the guy who usually encodes the HD for Gokaiger had to go offline Saturday because of power outages. He hasn't been online since then, so we don't really know what's going on. Some steps are being made, so hopefully there'll be an encode within the next couple of days regardless. Thanks for your patience guys!

Also, let's all take a moment to think about our soldiers on this Memorial Day.

 

Problems connecting to the tracker?

We recently switched servers, so if you're having trouble connecting to the site (and use something like Peerblock) you'll need to add the new IP to your exception list

Also, would you kindly check out the Gokaiger fan art thread and add some content to it?

Accel is playing commentary track at the same time?

I guess some of you guys are using a player that plays both the audio tracks at the same time. The only solution to this is

A) Find out how to select the audio track in your player.

B) Use a player that doesn't play all the audio tracks at the same time. Why would anyone want that?

VLC, GOM and MPC should all allow you to select the audio track or just play track 1 by default

Kamen Rider Accel movie released

Furikiru ze!

So if you weren't paying attention, the W series got two spinoff direct-to-DVD movies. Kamen Rider Accel was released in April and chronologically takes place after the OOO/W movie that is released this month (so don't watch it unless you're comfortable with some spoilers). The next one is in July and features Kamen Rider Eternal. This movie was pretty awesome, and it's more story featuring the characters from W. The guest stars were pretty good too.
