Interesting to note, right now the OOO page still says 16 days till the 1000th Kamen Rider episode airs. Don't know how the quake will affect that. By the way, can someone count up all the Kamen Rider episodes to double check those numbers?
Thanks to Mac, we've got the number count: http://forums.tvnihon.com/viewtopic.php?p=142089#p142089

Pretty big one hit near Tokyo

OOO 25 released

The word:
Mukan 無冠 【むかん】 (n) uncrowned
Using the kanji for "no" and "crown". Knowing "mu" is handy just because it's always good to know the negative words in the language

About #TV-Nihon

Not from us, unfortunately. Anyway, this person has been putting up a nice random collection of Japanese commercials. They're not subbed or anything, but commercials are fun, concise stories. Sometimes they're self-explantory:

To the creator of that site, I don't know if you're reading this, but please add a "Funny" or a "Comedy" tag. I'd use the heck out of that one

I like it when people define themselves for you. If they didn't, I'd have to... I dunno... be observant and make my own decisions or something. And that's too much work.

Thanks to Red for pointing this out in this thread

Transcript for radio show 9 is up. Show can be listend to from here

The long awaited Super Sentai Versus Kamen Rider debate

Even if you don't like Oreimo the anime, the transcripts are probably worth skimming just to see how people from Japan view things

Looks like the transition is going pretty well. All the seeds that were lost are apparently coming back. No complaints about the renaming so far either.

Guess I'll do this with more files. Kind of makes me want to fix a bunch of headers with the wrong aspect ratio too. Well, one step at a time

http://www.sentai199.com/

So someone told me that if you count them all up, there's only 180 heroes. Is there a list or something somewhere that I can see? If not, does someone want to make one in Google docs or something?

Once you guys have changed the file names, can someone help make new links for the direct download page? If you use megaupload, it should recognize that the file was previously uploaded and just generate a new link. Thanks guys!

Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission...

So I went ahead and renamed the DekaRanger files. It's actually not that bad on your end, so don't complain :P

First, stop the torrent that you're on.

Use this program to rename the files:
http://www.fauland.com/af5.htm

This is a batch of the file names (it's also included in the folder)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/97050p

Once you install the program, do this:

1. Take the files and drag and drop them into the program.

*Don't accidentally include the text since I think the program needs the exact right number of files to rename

2. Rename->Import or Ctrl+I

Select the appropriate text file

3. Enlarge the program, and make sure both sides match up. If they don't, highlight the ones that are out of place and hit Up or Down on the menu to the right (you can select multiple files with shift or ctrl)

4. When everything's lined up, just hit rename and all the files should be fixed

Now that all the files have been fixed, you can resume the torrent

If that doesn't work, there's always renaming it manually one by one

Forum thread

Episode 2 HD version 2 has some video fixes

Episode 3 HD version 1 released for the first time, for the last time

Anyone want to make us some Gokaiger banners for our rotating forum image? (Or for any series really).Should be 88 pixels high. The width isn't so important, but the majority of them are 477 pixels wide

So Crubman found something missing from our archives. Apparently TN did another Deka promo besides the one I knew about before. This one is 320x240 and features different footage from the DVD version I just released (I'm sure it's also on the DVD as well though). I don't really see a need to officially support this, since the DVD version is way better and more accurate. Only download it if you want to be a completionist about stuff TN did:

Thanks Crubman. This was a neat find!

So quick and dirty poll time

So advantages of renaming them: Consistency, easier for organization, checking, and CRC checks

Disadvantages: Files burned to DVD can't be used for seeding, if people want to help upload a file for direct download, they'd need to know the new file name, and we'd have to go and change all the names in our spreadsheet. As it is now, everything is relatively fine if we don't change anything

Mostly rebatches. One new file in this one.

Redid the Promo from the DVD: http://www.multiupload.com/I0D0J9B81D

You'll need this if you are planning to seed the new torrents. Everything's been moved around and I took out the TV version of episode one since the DVD version is superior in every way

Kanon 9 released

So my encoder told me he was doing a version 2 to fix up the problems that people have been having.So look forward to that and 3 HD

SD only for now. HD later

The word:
Kiai 気合 【きあい】 (n) scream, yell, fighting spirit, (P)

I think they chose well for the first guest character. MagiRanger is definitely my favorite Sentai series. It had engaging characters and a plot that really focused on the relationships between them. It had a real strong plot and progression on both the good and bad guy sides that made it really interesting to watch. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

Epic on the Movie!
With Ran from GranSazers as a guest star. Always nice to see those guys get some work

This pic is a promo for the Goseiger Returns thing in June. Look forward to it!
