How can the unofficial sentai have an official radio show?!

Thread / Wiki

If you've seen our Wakana's Healing Princess, it's sorta like that. We took the audio and placed subtitles on top of a static picture.

Go-Busters 20 released... earlier today!


Sorry for the late front page post. I was at work, then my internet broke. Etc. etc.

Thread / Wiki

Might want to check the wiki for this week's guests. Suzumura Kenichi (Ryuutaros) and Yamanaka Sou (various Rider roles) guest star this week.

Akiba 13 & CM Pack released

Sorry it's late! Even if it's painful, at least we released it. Here's the splash pics that we didn't end up using. Sorry to the artists who created them. At least people can enjoy them here. If you check our Akiba wiki page, you can find a link to a map of all the filming locations used for Akiba, courtesy of Luna (who also made the last splash pic).

Thread / Wiki

Future of Akiba: I guess there was a live event and some radio show going on? Guess we'll try to find that stuff. If it's interesting, we might do them. I don't want to make any promises without knowing more.

So is it painful to be an otaku? Sometimes I wonder about this, right. I wonder if maybe I should put more effort into getting a family or something. Or maybe doing things with broader implications than entertainment. I think these are important questions to ask oneself from time to time.

But I think entertainment can be important too. I go to work and take care of my old dog. I pay my bills and handle my responsibilities just like the next man. I think it's sometimes okay to just disappear into one's hobbies. As long as it's not all-consuming in a self-destructive way, why not, right? And this fansubbing stuff makes you guys happy, so that's good too.

In the end, I think that if we're all doing our best in our own way, that's going to have to be alright.

Did I miss any?

Kuuga 9 reencoding

If Kuuga 9 isn't working on your PS3, that's because I messed up the settings. I'm currently uploading a new copy now which should be compatible.

Oh, and if you wonder why Kuuga has such a low resolution, it's because the DVDs are terrrrrrible:

It's got the black bars that just waste space. Normally a wide video DVD fills up all that space and gets resized. Toei, Blu-Ray Kuuga please?

264 format

So any number of good video players should handle the MP4 file. Like Media Player Classic with the codecs installed, or GOM player. Maybe VLC as a last resort? The other day I saw the Freeman's Mind guy recommend Pot Player.

Just tested Kuuga 9 on my PS3. Doesn't work. I'm going to recheck my settings, but normally these files should work on (FAT32) thumb drives on the XBOX and PS3. There's also the streaming option too.

Suprise Kuuga! 09 released. Minor announcement

Hey, Kuuga. How you doing? As always, thanks to Zeta and Cheetah for continuing to work on this series.

Minor announcement: We recently discovered that you can encode SD stuff in 264 format too. Yeah! We can get higher quality for a smaller file size. Pretty sweet. I wish we knew about this sooner.

Jokes aside, with most people downloading the HD format version, sites like EZ News switching over, and just the fact that if you can play Youtube, you probably can playback a 264 file okay, now seems like a good time to make the switch. For now, we're just doing the switch for DVD encodes. But probably with the start of Wizard, weeklys will follow suit. I'm not as bothered about switching the weeklys since they get a HD version.

If you have any feedback about this, please use this thread here. A customer service droid will promptly assist to your needs.

Happy Tanabata guys!

Maybe spend the day rewatching Densha Otoko or something.

Sentai Ranger profiles?

http://www.wolfinspace.com/wiki/Sentai_Ranger_Chart

So I turned the names of the Rangers' into links. Unfortunately, the links don't go anywhere!

We could definitely use some people going through and writing up profiles for those characters. The chart's a bit ugly at the moment, we'll probably need to add color overrides at some point as well. But right now it's really easy to see which characters have pages and which don't.

Seiyuu Appreciation: Tanaka Rie

So how much do you know about Tanaka Rie, who voices Virgo Zodiarts on Kamen Rider Fourze?

Fanart of Mariel dressed as Virgo Zodiarts.

Did you know she played these anime roles:

Or that she did the Japanese dubbing for this Power Rangers person:

Or that she's a fan of Monster Hunter and had two seasons of an Internet show about it?

Our wiki article on Tanaka Rie.

Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary


I guess it's been 20 years since Sailor Moon's first tankoban was released. Looks like it was serialized from February 1992 to March 1997. Anyway, 20 years, crazy!
