Haven't missed a day yet. But our distro queue is empty, so maybe nothing tomorrow?!

More information. We want information!

This is the map of people who go to our forums

And the map of people who go to our tracker

Fairly similar to our actual map, but there's way more people who just go to the tracker and don't go to the forums. Also, there's actual African IPs.

 

Also a slightly more detailed listing of country/city and gender from the facebook fanpage. Quite the sausagefest on here.

Crazy Map Project

So we've filled up the first page of the Google Maps and moved into a second page:

Google Maps Page 2:
https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216974409160946370555.0004e483e581a...

If you don't see your name and you were previously on there, you might need to go back to the first page

New US Map:
https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zshYZbZXJqmA.kArw5rUY-Mf8

I'll be moving the US addresses to this one. I think this is a new map module from Google, since I don't remember seeing it earlier this week. I kind of like this version better, since it's easier to search for places.

More stuff

5) When will (Insert Movie XYZ title here) be released?

Also, we have a page on the wiki keeping track of when stuff is released. If you see that it's like 2-3 weeks after the release, that probably just means we're working on it more than anything else. Really, if it's Rider or Sentai related, you don't even need to ask whether we're doing it, do you?

http://wiki.tvnihon.com/wiki/Toku_Disc_Release_List

Also, we'll probably be doing the Hurricaneger returns movie that comes out in a month.

Recently Frequently Asked Questions

1) Are you doing Ginga?

Maybe. One of the translators is going to try, but he has limited time available so it will likely come out in a large batch in a couple months if he does do it.
 

2) Are you doing Kamen Teacher?

No. Staff have taken a look at it and weren't interested. Just cause it has Kamen in the title doesn't mean we have to do it!

3) Are you doing Hentai Kamen?

See above.

4) Are you doing (Insert Movie XYZ title here)?

If we are doing a movie, it will be listed with the movie release date in this  forum thread, which is regularly updated.

5) When will (Insert Movie XYZ title here) be released?

Well, has it been released on DVD and Blu-Ray yet? We cannot sub something without the physical media, it is literally impossible. Check the above link to see if it has been released yet. Keep in mind, you still have to factor in shipping from Japan to the US, which can take about a week.

6) Why is there commentary during this movie I downloaded?

Because your media player is old and sucks. The movies usually come with several audio tracks, mono, stereo, better stereo, and commentary. Any decent media player will decide to play only one. Stupid ones will decide "Oh, I should play all of these at once!". WMP is particularly notorious for doing this. Please download a different media player. GOM, VLC and MPC are all very good and can play pretty much any video file with the right codecs. GOM+CCCP is basically the Jesus player. If you're worried about system resources, MPC is only 2 mb and works beautifully.

tl;dr WMP is pewp, get something else.

7) Are you going to pick up (Insert series title here)?

No plans for picking up any new projects until we get some of the current ones done.

8) When is (Episode #) coming out?

Whenever you do.
 

9) So I heard that there's going to be a paid Toei channel with subtitled KR and SS, how will this affect you?

Please view this forum topic for details regarding our opinions on the matter.

10) Is this the most adorable picture of Luckyuro ever?

Yes. Yes it is.

Would you donate to help pay for our wiki server?

So right now the host we're using for the wiki is threatening to suspend our account because we're using too many resources. Right now, the wiki is hosted on a shared server, which means that we can't go over certain usage thresholds. For instance, we're only supposed to have 10,000 account executions per week, and we're using 12,504. Or as this chart says, this is us in red, and this is average:

So here's the unfortunate reality of the thing. They want us to shell out for either a dedicated server, or a cloud platform. And the cheapest of these is 70 dollars a month. That's just a couple hundred bucks short of a 1000.

What I need to know from you guys is, do you like our wiki enough to help pay for the server cost of it? I really like our wiki, I think it's a great source of info for our group both internally and for our fans, but I obviously don't have a grand to sink into the costs of paying for it every year.

Take the poll on our forum

So what's going on with weeklies?

So bad times for TN. Our encoder is without Internet till probably the end of the month.

That means we have to turn to Japanese p2p for raws, whiiiiiiiiiich is sort of unreliable. For example, we got Wizard 31 on Saturday, but didn't get Wizard 30 till the day after.

The good news is we appear to have all the raws for the last two weeks and are working hard on them. Garo 2 is in distro and Wizard 30's in QC.

And Go-Bus versus Gokai is in QC too.

I guess it doesn't help to be adding two new shoes to our weekly releases. Chaotic times it is ahead for us.

Yup, this was April Fools

But I do genuinely like the new site design. Look at that logo. Praise the sun!

Anyway, hope there's not too many hurt feelings about the Abaranger prank. I mean, you did see that our site was totally pink, right? And Abaranger was filmed in 4:3 format so there's no way it'd have a 1080 HD version. Notice how Abaranger didn't even have its own section on the tracker? Plus why would we even start Abaranger, we've got other stuff to do! There were quite a few clues if you looked for them.

And if you were fooled, just consider that an April Fool's day prank wouldn't be fun if everyone saw through it. That's just how things are. Well, live and learn, right?

So maybe we can keep the front page this way? The forum's already back to normal colors (needs the silver option. Can we add pink as an option too for those of us who liked it?) And the tracker needs to be set back.

New look

So in celebration of My Little Pony and Oreimo coming out in Japan this week, we're going to change up the color scheme. We've been thinking it's been time for a shake up and pink is my favorite color.

http://www.oreimo-anime.com/

Looking forward to releasing these with Magenta.

Oh hey, and if you like this stuff, do check out my personal blog here: http://takkynoko.tumblr.com/

Edit: Oh, and we've got our new logo up. Yay!
