Guess this week's theme is Birth
OOO 20 released
The word:
Ibaru 威張る 【いばる】 (v5r) to be proud, to swagger, (P)
The i in this stands for majestic, but it also means to intimidate or be menacing. Baru/haru means to stick/stick out. A word that evokes the image of a person sticking out their chest proudly

No more W ever!
Random question answer time:
Q: Kamen Rider Decade. I noticed that apart from episodes 30 and 31 there are also "specials" bearing the same names, and are about the same size as the "regular" episodes. What is the difference between them, please?
A: The specials aired after the series' initial broadcast with slightly modified endings

I didn't want to pass up on linking to this thread The poster basically asks what would happen if Toei or some other Japanese company gave us a cease and desist notice. To be honest, this is really the analogy that I had in mind when linking to the modellers getting arrested case
Are we really all that different? Think about it. Copyright and intellectual property issues are a tricky thing

You count the Medals 1, 2, 3!
The word:
Fukueki 服役 【ふくえき】 (n) penal servitude, military service, (P)
This one baffles me a bit. Fuku means clothes, and eki/yaku means role. Maybe it has some story behind how it came into being

Fallout Fan Movie We watched this in the channel. It's short, and it's pretty damn faithful to the game. It's written by the guy who did 8-Bit Theater if that sweetens the deal. Check it out
Amazon.com has The Prisoner Bluray set for $40. Such an amazing old series. It's the series about the bubble that comes and kills you if you try to escape. You guys probably remember the episode that spoofs it on the Simpsons. Besides the amazing acting and story, it's worth checking out because of its influences on culture

So I'm sure you guys have noticed that we've had a hard time coming up with HD raws for Goseiger. I know this is kind of late, but is there anyone in Japan who can do high definition captures or transport streams raws for our Sentai subs? It'd be nice to have something like this so that we can do weekly HD releases for Goukaiger
Please e-mail me or send me a forum PM if you can help in this regard. Thanks!

The theme of this week is that Hina is cute. Does anyone know if models are required to pose like that though?
Seems like kind of an awkward pose
Let's balance it out by talking about the guest of this plot, Takahashi Mitsuomi, or BoukenRed as you guys probably know him. Man, has it really been five years since Boukenger (since they were the last anniversary series)?
OOO 18 released

We have this special promo that includes this screen shot this week. What is it? It's a list of many, many names. It's pretty impressive, take a moment to go through them.
The word:
Konpon 根本 【こんぽん】 (n) origin, source, foundation, root, base, principle, (P)
Kon means "root" and hon/pon means "book", although in this case means "main, head"

Yup, it's time to ask for more art for splashes (1280x720) for active shows and banner pics (height should be 88 pixels high and a reasonable width). Remember to include your name or handle in the picture if you want credit. Thanks!
E-mail submissions or PM them to me over the forums. Thanks!
