Toei has this great chart of the Horoscopes. This is the version from the week when Aries was introduced.

Episode 33

Thanks to everyone for their patience.

What do Mac people use to play back our files in general?

By the way, if people ever have trouble playing back our files, please check to make sure the files are complete and not corrupt first. If you know what a CRC is, use something like RapidCRC to check the file.

Otherwise, you can simply point a Torrent at the file. Torrent software will check the completion state of the file, and if it's not complete, it'll fix it for you. There's no need to ever delete a corrupt file because Torrents can fix them for you.

Huzzah!

HD out later

If TV-Nihon made a wiki, would people help us fill it with useful info? I'm sure there's other people like me who enjoys data gathering and organizing. Let me know if you'd be interested in participating in such a thing.

No real difference. The first version released just had the episode appended twice when I was combining it with the splash video.

I love anime so much. Like a whole lot. Oh my God, this fight... it's just like one of my favorite animes. Which anime?! Which one has the school girl with a sword?! Samurai School Girl. What do you think?! God! Oooh, I have that manga. -Chip & Ironicus

If you ever need to use the Switch images for something, you can download the original scan at Photobucket. It's 6 mb though, so it's pretty big.

Wacha! 32 released

I guess some people were wondering why we used Zukyuun instead of going for the official romanized logo from the car. I don't like using a dash in place of a vowel. Cune is a real weird romnization for a Japanese sound. It seemed overly stylized but pointlessly so? I might as well spell it in a way that's easy to read and pronounce. Besides, it reminds me of Fairy Musketeer Akazukin whose catchphrase was Zukyuun.

I also never noticed the text above the logo either. Nijiyome Gakuen? So Two-dimensional Wife Academy? Anyway, it's obvious that this fake anime series is a parody of various other actual ones.

I think this episode is what really clinches AkibaRanger for me. Actual Sentai guest stars? This is awesome stuff. It's like Gokaiger part two.

Akiba 2

This is sorta funny. I told the HD encoder to be careful about the karaoke scripts since they were separate for episode one, but ended up unloading them from the SD encode. Oops! Sorry guys. Here's a version two.

By the way, did you know Yumeria is played by Ogino Karin who also played Bell in the OOO movie and OOO net movies last year?

I guess there's a bar called EA that sorta looks like the AkibaRanger logo. The first kanji for Hikounin 非 is the symbol behind the A.

The legendary Heisei Kamen Rider movie is released in HD. This is, of course, the theatrical cut. When will you give us the director's cut, Toei?! You're tearing me apaaaart!

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did when I watched it for QC.

So we're finally done with episode one. The series may seem silly, but I think it'll be really good. Sentai fans should really get a kick out of the references. Otaku will enjoy having a show about people just like them. It'll be fun.

Jargon that appears in the show

There we go.

HD probably later

Looks like I introduced an error when editing in the QC:

11:22 Missing the word "control"

I'm encoding a version 2 to fix this, it should be up shortly

Hey it's Friday. Don't you deserve to kick back and watch some toku?

Go Bus 8

By the way, did you know the girl from Ryuusei's school last week was Natsui Runa who played Kaoru on Shinkenger?

To make up for the lack of episode, here's the Bounce Back music video

By the way, Bounce Back was done by SoutherN. They chose this name because S and N like the magnet poles and because the main singer's name is Minami, which means "South" in Japanese.
