TN Classics: Master of Thunder / Legend of Seven Monks

With Sonny Chiba's passing, and apparently Westlake Entertainment's website leading to a domain squatter, I think it's safe to pull this out of licensing hell. It's not a great movie, but it's got Sonny Chiba, Kurata Yasuaki, Kinoshita Ayumi, Haga Yuria, Tsubaki Takayuki, Komatsu Ayaka, Akiyama Rina, and Hasebe Hitomi in it among others.

Rest in peace Sonny Chiba! And you guys, take care of yourselves and each other.

RIP Sonny Chiba

Saw it here first: https://himitsusentaiblog.tumblr.com/post/659956319827247104/rip-sonny-c...

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002002/

Obviously the man was a legend. Starred in so many famous martial arts movies. Perhaps most notable in the west as Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill. I didn't know he was a founder for JAE though, thanks Himitsu Sentai Blog!

He was on Space Sheriff Shaider. Even we had an encounter with him. He was in Legend of the SEven Monks/Master of Thunder in a cameo role, which also had Kinoshita Ayumi in it

I remember when people used to spread rumors that Chiba Reiko was his daughter lol

Anyway, the guy was a legend and it's sad to lose him

Super Heroine CharaBen Cooking 11 seeded now

Looks like I forgot to upload the file. It's seeded now. Sorry for the wait!

Cutie Honey the Live pulled, Bonus footage posted

Pulled the actual episodes. Reposted the bonus footage

A) Because I don't know what will be on the actual Blu-ray. This list of files might be adjusted when the Blu-ray comes out.

B) The fool who posted the HD batch didn't bother to add the bonus footage. We worked pretty hard on that stuff and there's some good stuff there. Like some of the making-of stuff is pretty fascinating. Those girls worked really hard on this show.

So if you only downloaded the HD files, please grab the bonus footage too.

The commercial for 23 was originally a part of the episode itself, but it was clipped out for adding to this batch, so it's a new file:

Ultraman Dyna is getting licensed by Mill Creek

While I can feel the Ultraman US releases are expanding, it's a shame Mill Creek is releasing Tiga, Dyna and Gaia in freakin' DVD collections unlike other Showa Ultraman series.

Edit: When it comes to upscaling stuff, I think Mill Creek has some reasons for releasing DVD collections so I take back what I state above.

Anyway, we will be pulling off our Dyna releases soon after more than two years of completion, so take your time to download the batch torrent on our tracker.

Update on Hitchbro (Seth Robert Thompson)'s death

https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2021/08/survivor-of-ne-portland-apartmen...

Apparently Hitchbro's girlfriend is still suffering as a result of the fire. If you can donate to her to help her recovery, that would mean a lot.

Kiramager VS Ryusoulger Blu-ray extras

So I received my Blu-ray copy recently. There's some good stuff on it, so be sure to pick up your copy at your nearest Blu-ray distribution center!

I think it's a neat detail that the different Kantoku Minusaur have different heads depending on what genre they're directing. Didn't notice that watching.

Even better, the bonus disc includes the full dances!

We've got the Tame fighting with the Ryusoul brothers during their dance. Shiguru's constant RBF is amazing. Interesting that the period drama version was shorter? Of course the girls were cute.

Best part is that they include the full Yodonna dance. Worst part is someone left a light in the background so it's just shooting beams into your eyes while you watch.

They even included the Muryou MV that they put on YouTube.

Wakusaver 06 Summary

Sooooo episode 6, the hour long 60 dollar movie/episode has far more explicit content than first assumed (like, 95% of new footage is all nsfw). There also seems to be an actually fairly competent content ID system used to identify any pirated material, making us leery of releasing even the sfw bits. To that end, I have written a brief summary of the main points of the episode, available to read on the forums.

Wakusaver 06 Summary NSFW!!

Little bit of forum clean-up (And updates?)

On a personal note, I'm part-time now! Hopefully more time to work on subs?

Forumwise, Super Heroine Cooking and Giga Tokusatsu have their own forums now. Radical! Sadly, it looks like episode 12 will be the last of Heroine Cooking. New Giga series, Dinnovator, has its opening out now. It looks alright!

Para Hero GandD is all translated in QC (all three of them!)

What else am I working on? Hmmm...

Cutie Honey the Live licensed by Discotek

https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1424142693173628930

So we'll be pulling our files for it. It sounds like they're doing a good job about it. There isn't even a Blu-ray version in Japan so this is a real first. If people say the translation is good, I might be tempted to pick up a set for myself.
