Re: Things you notice after watching for a second time.

I personally noticed an irony in Tomoko's arc. Like how the Switcher tells Sonoda how she might've turned out differently if she met Sonoda earlier? Guess who's been passing around the Switches...

Re: Gokai 44 released

Heh, GokaiChristmas... XD

Was it just me, or did the sister look really familiar? I swear I think I saw her before in some other series or something, but I can't figure out if I'm just imagining things or not. ><

Re: Games that you've been playing recently

++ PuzzleQuest 2 (DS) ++ Combining the worst parts of Bejeweled and some RPGs: the addictive nature. Hardly any plot in this one (unlike the first game where there was a clear bad guy to defeat), but it has a lot more interesting puzzles than the first game. Match gems to gain mana for your spells, ...

Re: League of Legends

I play occasionally (very much less so this week and next due to finals), but sure, I'd be willing to play LoL with you. :) Summoner Name: Sorrel Zenric (And for anyone else who friend-requests me on LoL, let me know before doing so and give me your summoner name. Otherwise, I'm not going to know wh...

Re: Foreign films' Japanese titles often read like riddles

Sometimes the titles make more sense than the American version. Like Twisted is named Rapunzel everywhere but in the US, because they felt like calling a movie Rapunzel would put off non-girly audiences. The power of marketing should not be underestimated. You mean "Tangled"? :P Anyway, i...

Re: Kamen Rider Decade Japanese Language Question

I'm sure Lunagel or takenoko can give a better explanation than me, but here's my interpretation. Japanese is a phonetic language, and Decade in Japanese romanization looks like "Dikeedo" which would explain the "do" sound you hear at the end. Since the show is in Japanese, you'l...

Re: Remove Numbers from top left corner of videos

The numbers (actually a time) are part of the recording of the raw, so we can't do anything to remove them unless we do DVD releases or something.

Re: So why is Garo a really good series?

You know, takenoko, I think it's really interesting that you make the Batman connections because I just found those myself two weeks ago when I was running a panel focusing on tokusatsu besides Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. (Even funnier that I made the connections while I was talking about Garo mid...

It's recorded conversations from the textbook "Japanese: The Spoken Language". No translations, but if you can pick it up, it might be helpful.

Re: Newbie/Novice alert!

Well, since you asked about it, splash is a term to a describe the picture that lasts a few seconds before the episode actually starts.

What terms are you having trouble with? It'd probably be easier to help you out that way since I can't think of much off the top of my head right now. ^^;;

Re: Help me appreciate Sentai mechs

Well, starting off as a Power Rangers nerd that got to own his first Megazord toys two years ago, I'm not sure how Shinkenger (at least) crosses your silliness threshold unless you were more specific on what you didn't like. I mean, it's just a bunch of different animals (or vehicles, or mystical be...

Re: Goseiger Returns released

I thought the setup with the prime minister being kidnapped as a tad strange. Like, why would the prime minister do that or agree to the scheme and ruin the Goseigers' reputation, but I'm probably overthinking it. The credits scene with Yumeko studying a script made me a little curious as to how she...

Re: Games that you've been playing recently

I only own my computer and a DS, so my gaming is rather limited. Still going through "The World Ends With You" on my DS and should probably have beaten the game by now, but I like mastering the pins to get as close to a 100% completion as I can without starting the game over. The play styl...
