#TV-Nihon

Sorry it took a while, we were doing a lot of fine tuning. Let's go! Pirates go! Go Gokaiger!

So let's talk a bit about an underrated show, Chousei Kantai Sazer-X. It was the third in the series that was akin to the third party for Toei's Kamen Rider and Sentai series. Just 38 episodes long (and a movie) and following the more popular JustiRiser series, I kind of feel like it fell on the wayside with people finding the humor goofy and the other tongue-in-cheek elements just offputting. I mean, you either love Sazer-Gordo or you vehemently reject him.

So what happened to the three main heroes of the series?

Well, Miura Ryousuke seems to be doing pretty well for himself. Apparently he acts in J-doramas, he had a guest role in Decade, and he's currently a main character in Kamen Rider OOO. That's pretty awesome if you think about it.

Shindou Gaku apparently is still getting work too. He was in Fuuma no Kojirou the live version and now he's doing voice acting for one of the villains in Gokaiger.

But what happened to the main hero of Sazer-X? Where's he gone? The year's still young, maybe we'll see him pop up in some toku somewhere else

Yeah, this is pretty cool

I think we have our splash. This pic by the way was in some Hong Kong picture contest involving toys. I lost the link to it, but it had some really great stuff. Check it out if you can find it

So as it may be apparent, I'm doing some clean up with the tracker. If you missed something before, now might be a good time to grab stuff while the seeds are fresh. Oh yeah, Sazer Visual/Ran from GS is in the upcoming Goseiger movie release. Look forward to it!

Speaking of which, can someone seed the Super Link and Galaxy Force torrents? There are people downloading from them but there's no seeds. And to segway from that...

There's been news that there might be a North American DVD release for the Japanese G1 Transformers. If that happens we'll probably pull the torrents, so grab them now if you want them

Now all we need is one for the W movie. While I'm at it, we'll probably need one for the Goseiger versus Shinken movie next month too

Does someone want to make us a splash for the KRW Forever movie and the Goseiger Epic on the Movie movie? Same specs as usual 1280x720 in size. Here's your chance to show off your art/Photoshop fu. Remember to credit yourself somewhere on the picture.

E-mail or PM me over the forums if you're interested. Thanks!

Edit: Also, it seems like a lot of people wonder why we do splash pics. The real reason is, we do them because they're cool. It's only three seconds, but over the years, a lot of people have turned in very wallpaper worthy pictures. It's the same with the front page, I could just be super minimalistic and just stick to conveying information, but that's boring. Look at how boring that is: http://www.tvnihon.com/archives/2006_05_01_archive.html It's so boring!

OOO 22 released

This week's word: Ore tanjou!
Tanjou 誕生 【たんじょう】 (n,vs) birth, creation, formation, (P)

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.

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

Banner and splash submission thread

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

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 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.

Want to make us a splash pic or a banner for our rotating forum banner? Don't use Photobucket for HD splashes since they resize them

Oh yeah, got my OOO/Goseiger 3D blu-ray on Friday. I don't foresee any problems with doing the 2D stuff off this

Goseiger 50 released Thanks for watching this with us over the last year!

Favine from our IRC Channel is continuing the radio station project. Maybe check it out? I know he's looking for people like DJs and others to do a radio show sometime. If you're interested, please answer this thread:

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:

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!

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

He's baaaaack

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
