Chousoku Para Hero GandD 03HD720 released and 02HD720 fixed

Credits to SVNBob for catching this. The reason 3 wasn't uploading was because episode 2 HD720 was actually episode 3 HD720. So those are fixed now!

Chousoku Para Hero GandD 03 released

Sooooo... issues. First, the broadcast raw for GandD isn't really usable, since it happened during some disaster. So it had emergency messaging in the borders, and the borders would grow and shrink during the broadcast.

We were able to grab an internet copy, but it's only 720p.

But for some reason the tracker isn't taking my upload of it. So let's see how long this Dropbox link works. If you want the SD version, it still works on the tracker.

What are these videos?

Toei YouTube Channel

What are these? I grabbed them thinking we could sub these, but...

When I opened Blades' video, it's just him posing with his sword like he's a Calvin Klein model. That's not even a real jacket, you can see the back isn't complete when they pan over that area (oops!)

Also, Angela Mei's video is the only one in the set that's 1280x720, the rest are 1920x1080. Why? Also, her video is the most popular at almost 10,000 views. Pretty weird move there, Toei. This is why I tell people that you hate women

Kuma in the flesh

Let's talk about Agito 19! I love the murder mystery nature of this episode. Reminds me of watching Columbo.

Somehow the Kiramager thread/poll is gone. So here it is again. Unless it was never made to begin with?

TN Classics: Master of Thunder / Legend of Seven Monks

With Sonny Chiba's passing, and apparently Westlake Entertainment's website leading to a domain squatter, I think it's safe to pull this out of licensing hell. It's not a great movie, but it's got Sonny Chiba, Kurata Yasuaki, Kinoshita Ayumi, Haga Yuria, Tsubaki Takayuki, Komatsu Ayaka, Akiyama Rina, and Hasebe Hitomi in it among others.

Rest in peace Sonny Chiba! And you guys, take care of yourselves and each other.

RIP Sonny Chiba

Saw it here first: https://himitsusentaiblog.tumblr.com/post/659956319827247104/rip-sonny-c...

IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002002/

Obviously the man was a legend. Starred in so many famous martial arts movies. Perhaps most notable in the west as Hattori Hanzo in Kill Bill. I didn't know he was a founder for JAE though, thanks Himitsu Sentai Blog!

He was on Space Sheriff Shaider. Even we had an encounter with him. He was in Legend of the SEven Monks/Master of Thunder in a cameo role, which also had Kinoshita Ayumi in it

I remember when people used to spread rumors that Chiba Reiko was his daughter lol

Anyway, the guy was a legend and it's sad to lose him

Super Heroine CharaBen Cooking 11 seeded now

Looks like I forgot to upload the file. It's seeded now. Sorry for the wait!

Cutie Honey the Live pulled, Bonus footage posted

Pulled the actual episodes. Reposted the bonus footage

A) Because I don't know what will be on the actual Blu-ray. This list of files might be adjusted when the Blu-ray comes out.

B) The fool who posted the HD batch didn't bother to add the bonus footage. We worked pretty hard on that stuff and there's some good stuff there. Like some of the making-of stuff is pretty fascinating. Those girls worked really hard on this show.

So if you only downloaded the HD files, please grab the bonus footage too.

Thread / Wiki

The commercial for 23 was originally a part of the episode itself, but it was clipped out for adding to this batch, so it's a new file:

Update on Hitchbro (Seth Robert Thompson)'s death

https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2021/08/survivor-of-ne-portland-apartmen...

Apparently Hitchbro's girlfriend is still suffering as a result of the fire. If you can donate to her to help her recovery, that would mean a lot.
