That's episode one..
So it's the same deal with TimeRanger. I could really use some splashes for Agito as well. For TimeRanger, please make the resolution 640x480. For Agito, the encodes will be 720x404. If you want to future proof it, maybe make it 1280x720. E-mail them to me or post them on the forum thread would be best.

I guess he's calling her Anko. Don't know who she is.
Edit from KR Fia and a couple other people:
She's Sakura Kyouko (佐倉京子) fromPuella Magi Madoka Magica. Before her debut in the series, fans used to mispronounce her name as "Anko" instead of "Kyouko".

Time 01 version 3. In case you didn't see my post earlier, I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the version 2 encode. I've been experimenting with filters all week and this is what I've come up with. I think this is much better and that you should delete our previous versions.
Some of you may be wondering why you should get this version instead of the ones we released 5 years ago. This version has a better translator. There's a better QC standard now. We have Ais' awesome typesetting. Plus they will fit in better with the rest of the episodes when we get to them.

So I've been experimenting with different filters over the week, and I think I've found a better way of dealing with those crappy old Toei DVDs. The gist of it is, a new version of Time 1 is forthcoming and it should look better than the one I released earlier this week.
I'm sure this is more intricate than most of you care to know, but compared to the newer DVDs like Zyu or Dai, the early Toei DVDs release before 2002ish were really awful to deal with. It'd use these awful interlacing techniques or with Kuuga, the whole TV series was letterboxed. It's just a pain in the ass.
Blu-rays are pretty awesome to encode by comparison. But not everything comes out on Blu-ray. Anyway, enough griping about stuff. Back to work. Back to work.

I summon DaiZyuJin in attack mode! And that's 20% done for ZyuRanger, not too shabby for half a year's work.
But man, what an unfortunate DVD/Blu-Ray release schedule. Japan usually releases stuff in the last third of the month. So we've got Eternal and Precure DX 3 from last month. But for some reason they released the August stuff the first week. So now there's All Riders Net Movies, Garo movie, and stuff going on as well. And next month there's Kiba and the DC for OOO/W. Crazy! I think the OOO hyper battle video should be coming out soon too.
Remember when a series was just a TV series, a movie, and a hyper battle video? When did everything become so complicated?

Fixed up translation, better encode. Time 01 is rereleased. If you've enjoyed seeing Ais effects in Gokai, then watch them in the actual series here. This new version has been a long time coming.
By the way, did you know that at one time, TimePink and Gills was married?
So I'm basically releasing this before the rest of Zyu because I want to gather more splash pics for it. If you're an artist or something, maybe consider putting one together for us? Just needs to be 640x480 and have #TV-Nihon somewhere in there. As well as the artist's name.

Transcript 13
As always, you can listen to it streaming here: http://www.oreimo-anime.com/radio/index.html
This time the girls talk about Valentine's Day, games, how to deal with being an otaku around family, and more Internet slang.
I didn't notice this before, but the Otaku Girls Gather is the name of the group Saori runs.
So we're more than halfway done with the shows. Woo.

I don't know why I've never done this before, but you should see the toy review blog that Kamen Rider Zeta keeps:
http://highm0bility.wordpress.com/
The pictures are pretty high quality, so you get a pretty good idea of the quality of the figures. He reviews Kamen Rider, Transformers, Ultramen, some furry guy who looks like a yellow bear, and other stuff.
Looks like he regularly updates via this thread. While you're at it, why don't you share some of your toys with us too?

The limitless greed of human is swirling in this world. The greed is Greeed's energies.
However, there is a saint-like young man, Kamen Rider OOO, Eiji Hino.
He just fights for saving the life threatened in front of him.
As if it is his destiny.

http://www.japanflix.com/blog
So I was e-mailed by Japan Flix asking me to plug their blog. It looks like it has a lot of interesting articles about Japanese culture. Might be worth checking out?
They also appear to be running a Netflix for Japanese movies. Sort of like a Japan Flix. Huh.
Anyway, I haven't checked it out myself, but if it's a good service, maybe someone can give a review of it on the forums.
