OOO 25 released
The word:
Mukan 無冠 【むかん】 (n) uncrowned
Using the kanji for "no" and "crown". Knowing "mu" is handy just because it's always good to know the negative words in the language

Not from us, unfortunately. Anyway, this person has been putting up a nice random collection of Japanese commercials. They're not subbed or anything, but commercials are fun, concise stories. Sometimes they're self-explantory:

To the creator of that site, I don't know if you're reading this, but please add a "Funny" or a "Comedy" tag. I'd use the heck out of that one

OOO 24 released
Forgot to talk about the guest last week:
The older sister, Sakura Yuumi, is played by Erena. If you watch our subs, she should be somewhat familiar. She's been in:
Kamen Rider Kabuto episode 12
Engine Sentai Go-Onger 34 (Played Saki's older sister)
and Kamen Rider Ryuki Episode Final as Miho's older sister
Add OOO to that, and that's quite a history
The word:
Etai no shirenai 得体の知れない 【えたいのしれない】 (adj-pn) strange, unfamiliar, mysterious, suspicious
Literally means "not knowing the nature of something"

For those of you who noticed the original HD encode being too dark or stuttering, here's a version 2!
And episode 2 will be released hopefully tonight or tomorrow
Some people have asked for a clarification on the designations that we use. SD and HD stand for Standard Definition and High Definition. SD is small resolution and encoded with the Xvid codec, HD is higher resolution and encoded with the H.264 codec. In short, HD will look better, but SD is around if you aren't able to play the HD version. DC stands for Director's Cut, usually that just means footage that was added in that wasn't originally in the theatrical cut. DVD and Blu-Ray just show what the source material for the encode was. MV is for Music Videos. OVA stands for Original Video Animation.
Am I missing anything? I guess that covers that

Nothing like a homecooked meal
OOO 23 released
The word:
Yaboyou 野暮用 【やぼよう】 (n) minor business
I just think this is funny because yabou means unrefined, boorish, uncouth and you means business. I guess if you focus on yabou meaning unrefined then I guess it makes sense, but otherwise it just sounds like "violent business" to me, like you're going to rough someone up

Sorry it took a while, we were doing a lot of fine tuning. Let's go! Pirates go! Go Gokaiger!
So let's talk a bit about an underrated show, Chousei Kantai Sazer-X. It was the third in the series that was akin to the third party for Toei's Kamen Rider and Sentai series. Just 38 episodes long (and a movie) and following the more popular JustiRiser series, I kind of feel like it fell on the wayside with people finding the humor goofy and the other tongue-in-cheek elements just offputting. I mean, you either love Sazer-Gordo or you vehemently reject him.
So what happened to the three main heroes of the series?
Well, Miura Ryousuke seems to be doing pretty well for himself. Apparently he acts in J-doramas, he had a guest role in Decade, and he's currently a main character in Kamen Rider OOO. That's pretty awesome if you think about it.
Shindou Gaku apparently is still getting work too. He was in Fuuma no Kojirou the live version and now he's doing voice acting for one of the villains in Gokaiger.
But what happened to the main hero of Sazer-X? Where's he gone? The year's still young, maybe we'll see him pop up in some toku somewhere else
