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!

They're Back! Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters VS Doubutsu Sentai Go-Busters

Submitted by takenoko on Thu, 07/25/2013 - 10:30

If Go-Busters was too serious for you, then have some hot-blooded animal action! Oh man, if they had replaced the CGI mecha with these hand drawn ones, it'd have been so good.

Sadly, this was only released on DVD so there's no HD version. Way to be behind the times V-Cinema!

Kickstarter for some toku game?

Submitted by takenoko on Tue, 07/23/2013 - 13:15

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1893273284/chroma-squad-manager-game-with-japanese-style-supe

"Check this out: it's a Super Sentai (not PR, but Sentai) game where you play as a bunch of Stuntmen tired of a Toei-esque company taking advantage of them, so they go off and open their own Sentai studio where they'll shoot their own indie series.

You fundraise and manage the studio, buy the props to make the show, and teach the actors new skills. Then, while shooting, the actors begin to confuse it for real fighting scenarios, and you play a turn-based RPG with it.

It looks like it'll be a strong game, and tries to stay faithful to the source material as best it can while allowing for a wide audience. I'm looking forward to it, and I figure you and the rest of the community will too.

Also, to note: It's the same company who developed the very successful 'Knights of Pen and Paper'. They're both very meta games, and give plenty of nods to their respective fandoms. Check it out, and see if it's worth sharing."

More stuff

5) When will (Insert Movie XYZ title here) be released?

Also, we have a page on the wiki keeping track of when stuff is released. If you see that it's like 2-3 weeks after the release, that probably just means we're working on it more than anything else. Really, if it's Rider or Sentai related, you don't even need to ask whether we're doing it, do you?

Also, we'll probably be doing the Hurricaneger returns movie that comes out in a month.

Would you donate to help pay for our wiki server?

Submitted by takenoko on Tue, 07/16/2013 - 20:44
So right now the host we're using for the wiki is threatening to suspend our account because we're using too many resources. Right now, the wiki is hosted on a shared server, which means that we can't go over certain usage thresholds. For instance, we're only supposed to have 10,000 account executions per week, and we're using 12,504. Or as this chart says, this is us in red, and this is average:

So here's the unfortunate reality of the thing. They want us to shell out for either a dedicated server, or a cloud platform. And the cheapest of these is 70 dollars a month. That's just a couple hundred bucks short of a 1000.

What I need to know from you guys is, do you like our wiki enough to help pay for the server cost of it? I really like our wiki, I think it's a great source of info for our group both internally and for our fans, but I obviously don't have a grand to sink into the costs of paying for it every year.

Wiki down time?

Submitted by takenoko on Tue, 07/16/2013 - 13:55

I guess we're taking up too many resources on the server that we're using. I'm talking with our server guys about this, but so far it looks like our options are to either upgrade (expensive) or get suspended in a week. We're talking it over and we'll let you know what we decide.

Saber Rider DVD review

Submitted by takenoko on Sat, 07/13/2013 - 08:36

So I recently picked up the complete series set from Amazon. If you're not familiar with the series, this is a dub of SeiJuushi Bismark which was released during the 80s. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses, but this show was rad. If you're a fan of Sentai, you should check it out.

Look at the suit designs. They were awesome. Each of them has their own vehicle. The British guy has a robot horse. Flying robot horses are the best! And they pilot that ship that turns into a giant robot in the background (which they use to fight other giant robots). It's so Sentai.

There's even a girl and she has her own suit too.

And the voice of Optimus Prime is in this too. It's so good!
