So I hear you guys like watching Transformers movies. How about watching a show where the story is actually about giant robots and not fucking Shia LaBeouf?
Here's a rebatch of episodes 1-19 of Galaxy Force. It includes the DVD version of episode 1 and the promo. Please help seed if you can.
What can I say about Galaxy Force? Galaxy Convoy and his team travel across the universe to prevent its destruction, all the while confronting Starscream and Noisemaze and Megatron and such. You see a lot of locations, meet a lot of characters. The animation and the battles were pretty exciting. The merchandising and toys for the show were pretty good.
Don't get me wrong, the three kids who appear are important to the show, as are other humans. But the robots are important too, and each of them have their own personalities and quirks. Frankly, I liked the kids in this show and didn't think they were annoying or in the way at all. It's still a story about the giant robots and their lives and their conflicts, which is something I hear is lacking from the Bay movies.
To top this off, this show had animation from Gonzo Studios and top notch opening and ending music. I mean, those songs really rock, both the first set and the second set.
So if you missed it the first time, check it out. The rebatch doesn't have anything new, it just includes the DVD version of episode one and the promo for the series. If you're a Transformers fan, you can't really go wrong with this series.

We've gotten a lot of great art for our splash screens. Thank you to all you creative people out there. They're beautiful and we appreciate the work that goes into them.
Now you too can enjoy them in one place! So far I've added the Kamen Rider pics in my splash folder. I think I moved some of them to other folders, but there's a lot of them there. Enjoy!
Edit: I'm adding more as I go along. So maybe check the photobucket account from time to time over the next few days.

I go off on a fucking long rant, so don't read the thread till you've seen the movie.
In other news, W Gundams! Wheee!
Edit: Oh yeah, chronologically, this movie takes place after the end of the W TV series and before the Accel movie.
Ever get confused by all the movies that keep coming out? We thought so, so we've created threads to explain where in the series one should watch a movie. We have one for OOO, one for W... Of course we also do Den-O and Decade, which is basically when this movie explosion started to become a problem.

We here at #TV-Nihon have had a strict no-spoiler policy for quite a long while, so it only seems reasonable to try and make people more aware of the mods' itchy ban-hammer hands. Thus we unveil our brand new mascots!

Mi-tooshi 見通し 【みとおし】 (n) perspective, unobstructed view, outlook, forecast, prospect, insight, (P)
Literally "to see" and "go through". I like remember the kanji for seeing as a floating eyeball. And speaking of go through, it's the same kanji as the first part of toori-sugari no Kamen Rider.

Once again it's time to rerelease an old favorite and the first of the too many to count Den-O movies.

I forget what goes on in these episodes, so here's a picture of Deneb with a watermelon on his head.

Someone pointed this out to me, so I thought I'd pass it along. Looks like there are three Rider actors in this series (I guess Kabuto was in the last series?) Kiriyama Renn (W), Satou Yuki (Gatack), and Tokuyama Hidenori (TheBee).

Looks like the site is having issues. Might want to write your posts in notepad just in case it doesn't go through

At least someone in the group probably owns a copy.
Look, I know people are just trying to be helpful. That's cool, that's super nice of you guys. But we don't need help finding things that are super accessible.
It's just a little frustrating to continually deal with these types of e-mails, because on some level, it makes me wonder how people think we're subbing all these things in the first place.
But yeah, once again, we've got that stuff covered guys. Unless you've got some super rare footage for us, you don't need to send in e-mails offering it to us. I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing again in e-mail whenever the next batch of these e-mails comes in.

40 already?! This week includes some bonuses.
Nojuku 野宿 【のじゅく】 (n,vs) camping
From No/the wild and shuku/to live. Literally living in the wild. Same kanji for juku in Shinjuku by the way.

Q. Regarding splashes - what exactly do you need for them?
#TV-Nihon somewhere on it and the artist name somewhere so that we don't have to put them in the credits. 640x480 for 4:3 resolution, 1280x720 for HD, and 854x480 for SD widescreeen.
Q. Shouldn't you guys finish Dairanger Zyuranger and Megaranger before you start something else?
I think it's fine. As long as no one dies before we finish them, we have the rest of our lives to do them. Plus, those projects are proceeding.
Q. One last thing for Raws I think these sites might help
We don't use rips from other sites. We buy our own Blu-Ray and DVDs. That's just one of our policies. For my part, I like throwing Toei back some money for the work they've done on these shows. From a practical standpoint, reencoding stuff again and again will lower the quality of the video.
If it's available for purchase, it's not super hard to get.
