02 plus version 2 is Four ze!

Sorry! Looks like we don't know what we're doing. Poop!

Fourze SD ver 2 coming up next

Just fixing a small mistake. Nothing story-breaking, but it's a mistake that people will definitely notice as the series goes on. So we might as well fix it now.

This time on Super Hero Time: Space and High School Kids!

Uchuu kitaaa

Kamen Rider Fourze 02 SD released

ToastEggman

Fourze 02 released Fourze is part of a well-balanced diet. Remember to have your Fourze today.

Isan 遺産 【いさん】 (n) inheritance, bequest, (P)
Insaan?! No, just kidding. From the kanji for "bequeath, to leave behind" and "products" or preposterously enough "give birth/produce". So it's like producing something to be left behind for someone.

MegaRanger 22 released

Mega

22 released

I feel a little compelled to mention that this was worked on in parallel with some of the other projects that were released earlier this summer. (We threw this baby in the QC cooker in May). It's just the nature of doing so many things at the same time that some things are going to take longer than others.

Garo spinoff: <Kiba> ~Ankoku Kishi Gaiden~ released

Garo and Kiba

So yeah, looks like there's a Garo spinoff movie. And it's pretty awesome. I'm so happy. For your pleasure, with a depth which might please you, that may surprise you, we've got a 720p HD version and a 1080p HD version.

Also, no more Garo, ever!

(P.S.: To those of you who don't get it, it's called sarcasm)

The #TV-Nihon Mail Bag

So this question comes from jackhunter the frank hunter. He writes:

"i would like to ask you questions i would like to know why others teams dont like you i have been told that tv-nihon translates fast but with poor quality"

/me brings up a choice menu

Paragon Option: Oh well, just as all the members of #TV-Nihon don't have unified opinions on certain matters, I'm sure that opinion isn't universally shared by other groups. Sometimes groups get misrepresented by their loudest member, like a lot of people think my opinion is the sole deciding voice of the group, which is absolutely not the case.

And maybe other group's have a fair point. We're only human and we make mistakes sometimes. Our Fourze 1 script was revised at least 8 times and there's still stuff that people can find in the script that could be better. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

Neutral Option: Eh, it's just the Internet. There's going to be people who decide that anything that doesn't align to their subjective opinion is wrong, and a lot more people are going to write in to complain about something compared to the people who are happy/satisfied with how things are going. The fact that people who aren't happy with how #TV-Nihon does stuff, and then decide to go off and form their own group instead of joining us shouldn't be very surprising.

Asshole Option: That really says more about the attitudes of other group's than it does about the quality of #TV-Nihon's work. They probably suck and can't get people to download their stuff without resorting to being sleazy and mudslinging. Just wait a couple of years and they'll be gone anyway, 'cause their motivations are all in the wrong place. If this is what your group is saying about other group's work, don't be surprised if people say the same thing about yours. I'm pretty sure your stuff isn't beyond criticism either.

Jokes aside, I do want to address the "fast but poor quality" comment. Considering how people are always complaining about us being slow, that seems like an obviously contradictory comment? Our QC process is rather long and it takes several steps. We had a really good stream of daily releases last month, but the work load that went into that release was several months to half-a-year (or more) in the making. And while the extra iterations almost always help, in the end there might still be a flub here and there. You can point at a mistake and make a big deal out of it to the extreme, but that doesn't mean that it's some fatal flaw that ruins the quality of the rest of the work. People put a lot of work into this stuff and (usually) a lot of thought goes into the final product.

There's a difference between, "Let's rush this out, quality be damned" and "Let's put this out at a reasonable rate and not take forever to do it."

*I haven't played the Mass Effect series, but I'm sure they call it the asshole option, right?

Man are Blossom and Marine's proportions preposterous compared to the other Precures. I like the picture of the blue team. It kind of reminds me of Luna's Jetman fart splash. I like the pose that Moonlight is doing in the yellow team pic.

Anyway, that's all for Precure!

...unless Toei was totally lying and HeartCatch comes back for DX 4: The Quest for More Money.

Something that happened while I was on break

Thought this was funny, so I figured I'd share this with you. This happened while I was outside during my break at work. I was reading my Shinkenger manga when a guy comes up.

"Hey, which one is that? Is that Kamen Rider? Which one is that?"

So I have a mouth stuffed with crackers at this moment. I'm desperately trying to chew it up and swallow them so that I can give the guy a decent answer.

"Oh, it's Power Rangers isn't it?"

Finally able to answer, I respond, "Yeah, it's the Japanese version of Power Rangers."

His response was, "Oh! I thought it was a mix between Kamen Rider and Ultraman. I hadn't seen that one. So it's Power Rangers." And then he left before I could ask him which Kamen Rider he'd seen.

So... weird! A guy who knows Kamen Rider and Ultraman, but not Sentai. Even funnier, he looked at the Shinkenger and didn't immediately go "Zombies!" No wait... "Power Rangers!" I mean, let's face it, all Sentai/Power Rangers looks the same. I don't know if I'd ever look at a Power Ranger and go "Is that a Kamen Rider?"

Now I wonder what Kamen Rider shows he's seen. Seeing him walk away, I feel disappoint that he left before I could quiz him on that. Anyway, if you're that dude and you watch our subs, maybe post a response on the forums?

Garo 23 version 2 released

Garo

So I was standing on the toilet trying to hang a clock when I slipped and hit my head on the bathroom sink. When I came to, I realized there was a line incorrect in this episode. Please delete the old one and replace it with this one. I also tidied up some of the timing and made slight adjustments to some lines.
