KR OOO 33 SD released

While I'm at it, can I get some seeds for our unseeded torrents?

http://tracker.tvnihon.com/torrents-needseed.php

Looks like JustiRiser and Rescue Fire need seeding. Poor third party toku series. In the two party system of Kamen Rider and Sentai, is there no love for a third series candidate?

Sexy Voice and Robo drama rebatch released

Drama
One is a 14 year old girl who has excellent hearing and the power to mimic seven voices, the other is a robot otaku. The two of them are spies!

So I finally got around to rebatching this series. I've always loved this series despite it being one of #TV-Nihon's least popular shows. The stories are funny but also heartful and sincere in a way that is kind of sad. There are a lot of quirky bits and quite often the story is unpredictable. It was just a really thoughtful and unique experience.

The actors are recognizable too. Nico is the young girl from Memoirs of a Geisha. Kazumi (correct spelling) is the manager from the drama Rookies. The father's been in stuff. Robo is from Death Note and Detroit Metal City.

Anyway, I need people to seed this new torrent. It includes the DVD versions for 1, 2, and 7 while omitting the original TV broadcast versions. Please seed this for people interested in checking out this wonderful hidden gem. If you need the files for initial seeding, please get them off the DDL forums.

Gokai 11 HD ver 2 in the work... maybe?!

I guess some symbols are missing from the HD version, so a version 2 may be in the works. Wait for more info or grab the one that's released for now, the choice is yours.

The word:

Kejime けじめ (n) distinction (between right and wrong), (P)
Interestingly enough, this word doesn't have a kanji associated with it in my dictionary

About #TV-Nihon I added a section to talk about honorifics and other important Japanese words to know. The wiki has a pretty good article about this too though. If you like Japanese culture, you should definite read them.

"Film study: Men talk and women show skin"

Saw this in the newspaper, thought it was an interesting article. Kind of reaffirms what we probably know already, but it's kind of fun to see the numbers and to think about what they mean.
