DaiRanger 48 released

Last three!

Let's see if Kaku's actor has been in anything else. Oh hey, it looks like he was in a modern toku. Let's see...

What?! He was in Faiz? I don't remember that at all! How can this be?!

He was Hanagata?! What?!

Oh my God, he even has the same headband! Hanagata is just Kaku without the facial hair! He's the same role, just recolored!

No!!! Whhhhhy?!

Gokaiger Penultimate released


Sentai kind of always is what it is, a story about a group of people. It has accrued a million tropes by this point, but it stays entertaining because it's basically about relationships. And even though it's stupid Power Rangers fodder for kids, a story that's about people is going to have universal appeal.

50 Released

Edit:

By the way, I kind of changed my format for my "Let's learn Japanese thread". I'm still going through the intro to katakana part, but for the kanji, I'm going through and talking about interesting words from a series. Hopefully it'll be more relevant to people who are familiar with the show. So far, I'm working through completed Sentai series backwards. Went through Gosei to Go-On, will do Geki soon.

When Basco Met Sally

Uhhh... just imagine I photoshopped Basco and Sally's faces onto that movie poster.

Gokaiger 46 HD released

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.

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.
