Thank you, Team Drive! And thank you to Lunagel and Yaiba for double teaming the translation for Drive this year. Yaiba also did the typesetting and some of the splashes. And of course, thanks to everyone else who worked on the project.

It's good, you should check it out if you like... Ultraman, Superman, or Ironman.

It continues the story of Hayata Shin, the original Ultraman.

Kikyou's actress is a trained martial artist!

Probably should have saved release 3700 for the last episode of Drive, right? Since it's a mini anniversary, let's go over the basics.

We have a wiki, please check there for your information needs. If you have any feature requests, comments, or whatever, shoot me an e-mail. We have a chat on slack.com, e-mail me if you want an invite.

If you want direct download links, you should seek out this forum. Remember that this is mostly run by the fans. If the links are broken, there's a forum for that.

If you're an artist, you can submit pictures to use at the start of our videos in this thread.

If you wonder when something will be released, please check to see if it's out on disc first. Don't ask us if we're going to sub the movie or OV of a series that we're already subbing. You know that we're almost certain to do so.

As usual, thank you to our fans. We wouldn't have made it this far without your support.

Looks like last week's episode got a 3.57/5 on the forum poll. Will this week's do better?

Promos for Bikuu and Guren no Tsuki included.

Sorry for the late post, totally slipped my mind.

I'm starting to do polls for each of the weekly episodes. All three episodes this week should have them. Vote it up and let's see what the group thought of these episodes! If I forget, just remind me.

The Guren Byakuren commentary video actually comes in 1080 resolution, but it looks just as terrible. That's why it's only in SD quality. It was just badly shot.

What do you think?

Stumbled across this pic while researching something. Pretty cute.

Also included

• this week's commercials
• Bikuu trailer
• History of Ryuuga
• Movie bonus commercial
• Guren no Tsuki teaser.

If you have trouble remembering whether it's two k's or two u's in Bikuu, just remember it like "Be cool". So two u's.

Just when I think I'm out, Toqger pulls me back in.

Fixed the audio/video desync at the end.

I think it might have just aired this way, since it's in both our copies. I think I can wrangle up a workaround so that it's not as noticeble. So if that works out, expect it sometime tonight. Hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

"Dolby Digital/DTS/etc are generally mixed for a wider dynamic range while stereo is generally compressed for a narrower dynamic range -- i.e. basically what ViRGE said." So basically there's more range, quiet stuff is more quiet and louder stuff is more loud, but we probably don't notice those parts.

Thanks to Virge, Madcow, and everyone else who answered in the thread. If you're interested in the subject, check out what they have to say about it.

/me gets dizzy watching this.

Seriously, stop, Takaharu.
