New Year's Eve
Man, what a great year. We got a bunch of series done, Geki and Den-O have both been super interesting to watch, and now we have a new tracker and forums from the team of Camaro, Ktdata, and Quatrerwin. (The rotating banner thing is probably my favorite aspect of the move. Now, if I want to show someone a list of TN shows, I can just sit on the forums and hit refresh. Fun!)
But as we move into the new year, there are still many things left to do.
Sazer-X is still incomplete on the tracker. I'm sure SOMEONE must have the latter half of the series, who can provide us with a torrent and seed?
Also, if you've bought a Geki soundtrack recently, can you see if you have the character songs? We need the lyrics for the endings of 41+
Details
Ok guys, everyone have a safe and efficient New Years!

Review: Sazer-X
Probably the least popular of the brief Chou Sei Shin series, Chou Kantai Sazer-X had big shoes to fill after the big budget JustiRiser series. The series enjoyed a crossover movie in the middle of the series that tied all the CSS series together. Much like its predecessors, Sazer-X was a series that had big mecha as well as passionate youths yelling out Souchaku becoming heavily armored heroes. Toho's work on the action in the fights and beautiful mecha sequences are undeniably good. So why wasn't it popular?
Maybe because the show was funny and focused more on the everyday characters rather than being a mere action show? In the same vein as Hibiki, Sazer-X had a lot more normal stuff going on. The protagonist had something to prove to his grandfather (a subplot that I really enjoyed). The three main space pirates actually had personalities and weren't just 2 dimensional villains. Despite being an epic battle of time and space, the first few episodes focused more on the comedy, which may have turned some people off to the show.
With only 38 episodes slated, Sazer-X probably has one of the most tightest stories among the CSS. It doesn't suffer from that ten episode gauntlet of filler episodes that the other two series had. And the pace quickly picks up. The protagonist shows clear growth and maturity from the first few episodes. The good guys learn to trust each other, more allies and villains are introduced, revealing secret relationships and other aspects that set up for touching stories in the later episodes.
I also really liked the mecha combining aspect. Each of the ships had a Core-Caliber vehicle, which turned into a pretty awesome mobile robot for reconnaissance and fast attacking. Then when combined with the ship, it becomes a Ryuuseishin, a more armored, more powerful robot.
Core-Braver's description from the Toho website
So Sazer-X is clearly a kids show, but then again, so was Gransazer and JustiRisers. If you like the everyday aspects of the characters, have a tolerance for the comedy, and enjoy space battles with giant mecha, you will probably like this series. The opening song kicks ass and it really does have a continuous story that I think is rewarding in the end. Because this show was also the last Chou Sei Shin series, and they had to do something special for it. (Note that the time slot was filled by Fairy Musketeers Akazukin, another T-N show that I recommend)

Awesome
I also notice we're missing Kuuga. Can I get that and Sazer-X batches now? Thanks!
Please resume files for batches rather than starting over. Start the batch, copy over any partially complete files into that folder, then restart the torrent. The files should resume from where you left out. Please do not start from scratch since that wastes resources

Torrents rebuilding, almost 100% done
Zoids Genesis: 19+
Sazer-X: All of it
It also might be worth batching up MRR since the episodes are already beginning to get unseeded. Can someone do a DVD size batch of the series with the promo in the first batch and Mugenbine in the last?
Don't forget to help seed, if you enjoyed a show, why not show some love by giving it to strangers?

Need Magi and other torrents badly
Also needed Zoids batches 2 and 3, Sazer-X complete series, Hibiki batches 2-3, and of course Magi, as listed above.

"my bases and fonts now used in Sazer X (though with new colors)"
Dragonhawk worked hard to come up with his own effects. They look nothing like the work done for Justi. By saying the effects are just recolors of Justi completely downplays all the work that was put into them by Dragonhawk. And unless this ex-member can claim to have designed the fonts themselves, it makes her look very foolish to lay claim to them.
I'm sorry that she's now targetting innocent peoople just because they are members of our group.

From take: I've always considered the Chou Sei Shin series to be TN's project. It started during TN's first year and has grown with us. So it's only fitting that with three years of TN comes the third CSS series. A lot of work has gone into Sazer-X from all our members and I think it shows.
