Precure Batches on the roll

Precure

Another HD batch has gone out, this one includes more episodes and the DX2 movie with the bonus dance video.

Also wrapped up what we had for Yes Precure in a nice batch.

And also... No wait, that's all. Just two batches.

Unused Garo Splashes

So I messed up and forgot to use a bunch of Garo splashes. But at least you can enjoy seeing them here:

For Oreimo seiyuu fans

Umrain has posted some information on Taketastu Ayana (Kirino) guest starring on Hanazawa Kana's show (Kuroneko) and how you can see it. More info here

Gosei 43-50 HD... released sometime in the future

So we got some raws for 43-50. Expect HDs of them coming up sometime in the future. Looks like we're missing some episodes inbetween, so let us know if you know where to get them.

We're also still looking for a personal HD raw provider for the group as well.

The fanboy's lament

The Nostalgia Critic did an interesting set of videos that had what I felt to be a very good message. It seems like a lot of the time, fandom breaks down into simply just what people like or dislike with people very rarely thinking beyond the reasonings for those opinions. Which is fine really, no one's on trial here, it's just an opinion after all.

The problem occurs when people take these difference in opinions and treat them like fighting words. You see people fighting over some very subjective things where there's no obvious right and wrong and wonder "Hey, if that guy acts like that, I wonder if I do that sometimes too."

Anyway, the Nostalgia Critic's message is a very simple one of people have their difference in likes and dislikes and it doesn't really make them bad or whatever if they differ from one's own.

Retro Gaming Challenge 2 Fan translation

Looks like someone is working on fan translating the Game Center CX game (called Retro Gaming Challenge in the English world). Seems they need translator that understand the Osaka accent. If you're interested, check out this link:

Goukaiger or Gokaiger?

Gokaiger

So up to this point, we've been using Goukaiger with a u, but after seeing the latest promo, I think it'd be best if we used the official spelling. So from here on, you'll see it written as Gokaiger in the subs.

A lot of you have sent in some wonderful splashes for this series already. I hate to ask this, but if your splash has Goukaiger in it, could you please change it to Gokaiger and send it to me again if it's not a lot of work? Otherwise don't worry about it. Thanks!

Oreimo Radio transcript 7 up

Oreimo

Aya and Kana spend a lot of time just goofing off, but I think the radio show was a lot more interesting for it. Random stuff that got said: Kana messing with Aya, discussion of their clothing, the legal definition of loli, Aya shows off her Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy knowledge, while showing their lack of knowledge about Sentai

Could it be... Doukoku?!

Heart Breaker released

Claws

HeartBreaker?! No! It's evisceration time by OOO!

Edit: I guess I should mention what this is. Heart Breaker is the theme song for the OOO movie that was in theaters last December. We released the music video for it that stars Ohguro Maki (OOO' opening theme singer) and Kikkawa Kouji (Skull). There's no footage from the movie in it, so you can watch it without worrying about being spoiled

Tensou Sentai Goseiger 49 released


Women in the front, men in the back!

Penultimate!

The word:
Kaishoku 皆既蝕 【かいきしょく】 (n) total eclipse (of sun by moon), totality
From the kanji "total", "previously/already", and "to eat into (by worms), spoil". Yup, that sun is just a big apple waiting to be eaten

Question corner:
Q. Who is Mark Musashi?
A. He's this great tokusatsu stuntsman that has been in many of the shows that we've previously subbed. He did Rider stunts for The First, was Zero and the butler in Garo. He even shows up unmasked as Duke whats his face in Cutie Honey and Peace in Sh15uya

OOO 20 version 2 released

Cute baby doll hair

OOO 20

This version just fixes issues playing on stuff like the PS3. It's essentially the same as the previous version contentwise. So you don't need to redownload it unless you had issues playing it before

OOO 20 SD Problems?!

OOO

Looks like there's problems with the SD encode. I'll try to put out a version 2 ASAP

The Oreimo PSP game

Oreimo

So I bought this for the PSP. I guess it's a story game done in the style of those hentai games. You make your dialogue choices and see what kind of ending you get

The actual gameplay elements were a bit surprising to me. There's a Two Shot mode where you basically have to calm the girl down by either selecting a dialogue line as it scrolls by (you only get one choice) or not saying that at all.

The other gameplay aspect depends on collecting keywords and storing them in your O.R.E. List. At certain points items from your ORE list will show up and you can press left or right to select them. Things sure have changed since the days where you were just given a list of options to select, eh?

So anyway, I beat the game, puposefully trying to do the worst job possible. I ended up with about 14% completion, it looks like I didn't unlock any story branches. I think I basically got the bad ending where I'm stuck buying BL goods with my Akagai for his little sister. Girls start pointing and whispering, so I end up running away while my friend yells out my name. Humiliation?!

The trailer for the game:

Bonus: I wasn't able to obtain this since it seems like it's sold out, but the special version actually comes with an additional game. The bonus game is a sister maker where all the characters are your sister or something. Here's the video for it:

The word:
Ibaru 威張る 【いばる】 (v5r) to be proud, to swagger, (P)
The i in this stands for majestic, but it also means to intimidate or be menacing. Baru/haru means to stick/stick out. A word that evokes the image of a person sticking out their chest proudly
