Our late donation drive

So our usual disclaimer, fansubbing is a hobby for our group. We don't do it for profit and most of us have jobs and other stuff going on. But if you don't mind a little wait and enjoy our style, we'd love it if you can help offset some of the costs of this hobby

Our goal this time is $662:

  • 135 for a seedbox
  • 240 for the server
  • 247 for source material
  • 93 for computer replacement parts
  • -52 from donations throughout the year

Anyway, I'll leave this up for a week. If we make it, we make it. Otherwise it's no big deal. You can donate from our Paypal link, but e-mail if you want to pay using a different method and I can see if I can arrange something. Thank you for reading!

Dan Tomyuki passes away

Saw on tumblr that voice actor and live actor for the terrifying Isaka Shinkurou, Dan Tomoyuki, has passed away at 50.

Looks like he died at home from a heart attack.

Sad news since he was really good at his job.

Picture originally found here at the Nipponhero Tumblr. He has a good eye for pictures and when he posts, he includes a quote from the show. It's very stylish and worth checking out.

(Edit: Uncle Phoenix looks like he uploaded a 720 for Garo Soukoku movie.)

Tumblrs?

Although mine isn't officially TV-Nihon related, I don't use twitter or facebook, so this is where I go to post random pictures and interesting stuff (besides the TV-Nihon front page)

Content: My Little Pony, Tokusatsu, Animals, etc.

Follow and reblog if you like what you see.

So what tumblrs do you guys have?

Piracy overstated?

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/128434-Study-Finds-Media-Indus...

It may sound weird coming from me, but overall I'm not a big fan of piracy. If I want to see a movie, it's pretty easy to just pay a small fee and get an HD stream through legal means. If I want music, Amazon's got a bunch of MP3 downloads available. If I want comics, I go to comixology and read them digitally (no more storing comics, yay!) My point is, there's plenty of options if you want to support a favorite artist.

I always feel a bit skeptical about studies like this. At this point, I can see how numbers and facts can be distorted in any number of ways to support any claim. There's plenty of "facts" on the Internet, but it's pretty hard to tell which ones are reliable, and I certainly am not going to verify everything that I look up.

I guess my point is that I hope this article is true and that the multiple ways of accessing media legitimately encourages people to do the right thing.

Toku and Japanese media is kind of weird in that the fandom is so small, I don't think that even if the fansubbers went away, there'd be a market for legitimate DVDs/Blu-rays.
