So someone linked this to me this morning. It looks like these guys are called Neo-Alpha, Seeda, and Pyron. The link said they're based on Alpha, Beta (Β β), and Gamma (Γ γ) But it looks a lot more like Alpha, Theta (Θ θ), and Pi (Π π) to me. I mean, Seeda sounds like Theta and has the theta mark in white on the side.
Also, I don't think these guys were used in the Faiz stage shows. I remember Faiz having a white lady and black guy as Dark Slasher and Dark Rider from this link: http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~kamia/hs/040104.htm
And I think I remember a green Agito, but I don't remember these guys. Maybe someone else knows?

So it's that time of year where we try to figure out the lyrics to the opening song by ear.

Check it out and let me know if you think something should be different. I'm definitely having trouble with the chorus.

Even if you don't watch the show, check out the commercial page. It comes with a lot of non-Kanon commercials that are interesting. Especially this one, Uchuu Inu Sakusen. Someone watch that and tell me what it's about. All I know is that it has guest stars from various toku shows, and that girl is ShinkenPink.

Wizard thread.
Go-Bus thread.
I added a couple polls to the thread, just to see how people are feeling in general about the shows.
Just for some context. Wizard had a 7.7% viewership. Compared to Fourze's first episode of 6.3% and final episode of 5.1%.
Go-Busters had a viewership of 4.4%, up from 3.3% last week. I guess a bunch of people are still skipping Go-Busters.

Why haven't we had a showdown between the heroine and villainess of the series yet?

Ummm, Toei. You do actually know which series you licensed to be Power Rangers right? I get you'd want to do double the promotion since Power Rangers is so well known, but maybe make sure your logos are on the right series?

By the way, we know that the TV-Asahi page spells the grunts' name as Ghouls. I just didn't want to use that because Ghouls in the west are more associated with undead and zombies.
So we took it back to the etymologicaly roots and used Ghul, since Ghoul comes from the Arabic word Al Ghul. Since the grunts have demon horns, I think a word that's more associate with demons is better. If this sounds familiar, that's because the Batman villain Ras Al Ghul has it as part of his name, plus he's known as the head of the demons. So this all works out.

In case you missed our previous release, this is a series of Japanese commercials that star Tommy Lee Jones as an alien investigating Earth. If you read Kotaku, there was an article about this commercial series a couple weeks ago.
Apparently they're still releasing these commercials. I think the last one was just released this year a few months ago.
These commercials are pretty funny on a few levels. Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor, and he plays the alien is totally deadpan. (He has a few speaking lines in Japanese. The lines are very short, of course). At the same time, Jones is also an alien in that he's just a white guy who's surrounded by a bunch of Japanese people.
Spaceman Jones' thought narrations are read by the hauntingly memorable voice of Taniguchi Takashi.
