Blade is great. The first eleven episodes are unintentionally incredibly silly but then the director changes and the rest of the series is excellent. I believe it just finished or is mostly finished being scrubed so now's a good time to get on board.

Speaking of old series with new subs, Orangelion insisting on subbing currently airing series instead of focusing entirely on subbing TV-N-only shows is frustrating now that they're not doing weekly releases for Den-o in order to do batch releases.

Looking at the Nyaa numbers, less than five hundred people use Orangelion's Ghost subs, while five to ten thousand people use Over-Time's Ghost subs. Not to get into sub wars over audience sizes, but they're wasting their time when they could be putting their abilities towards older shows.

I don't accept "there is a good scene (that you can watch on youtube)" as an argument in favor of a series' quality.

Same reason the Giant Enemy Crab scene doesn't count.

Edit I still stand by the opinion that Kabuto has the largest suit quality:show quality gap. All the suits just look so loving slick, and I will love the aesthetics of TheBee until the day I die.

Mostly it's the sheer absurdity of what the show calls a plot and the gooniness of Tsukasa and Kaitoh that endears itself to me. Not to mention that belt. Everyone loves their first Rider show after all.

Hey, was just looking at the Op again for the link to blade, and I noticed there's no link to RX!

Stone Subs did a really decent job of translating the portugese subs to english and has completed/nearly completed the series. No page up, but it's available on nyaa as always.

I guess I'll have to watch the final few episodes again.

When I watched RX it was with the HK subs, which were pretty decent for HK subs (so long as you didn't want to know anyone's name and didn't care about grammar TOO much) and then I think the person doing them got a stroke or something and some one else picked up where he left off and just made up a bunch of bullshit about Superman RX and I THINK some homophobic slurs?

Maybe this will make me reappreciate and like RX!

Yeah, somewhere along the line they suddenly switched to translating the script from the Chinese dub of RX, hence the name changes. No idea why though.

That's true. But I take points off for the forms just being palette swaps. Not even interesting ones, like Fourze's are (Cosmic nonwithstanding), just single-color swaps.

On the subject, we kind of agreed that the mid-season upgrade will always look at least as cool as the final form, but is there a "final form quality : show quality" metric?

I don't think there really is. Fourze has Cosmic, but Double has that monstrosity that looks like it had sex with a Ganbaride machine. Meanwhile, W has Xtreme, which is just kind of boring.

Got my Dairanger set today; its pretty much exactly the same as the Zyuranger set in terms of quality and presentation.

Minor differences: instead of the OP over the main menu and the ED over the Episode Select, the Dairanger set has the ED over the main and silence on the Episode Select.

First episode leads up with what I assume is the preview for Dairanger that would have aired after the final episode of Zyuranger. Cute to see.

Also, there's no bonus features of any kind. The Zyuranger set had a couple...but this one is just 5 episodes per disc, 10 discs total. I was hoping for at least a little featurette of what from Dairanger got taken for MMPR Season 2, but oh well.

Incidentally, the plastic case of my set suffered a bit in the post..if anyone knows a good source for the same type of DVD case, let me know. I checked amazon, but nothing seemed to quite match, and since the episode list is printed on the inside of the case sleeve, having everything line up the same is kinda important.

I don't like how they use Ch'i over Chi. Other than that it seems to be a bit better than the Hikari Senshi version.

Chi is simply wrong. I was kind of pulling for qi, personally, but they opened it up to a vote by fans on twitter (incorrectly as chi vs qi) and chi won, with the honcho claiming they meant to do ch'i all along for that one. I have a feeling if the vote was framed as ch'i or qi it would have gone the other way, but alas.

That's actually what I did; the customer service rep got back to me in less than 10 minutes (amazing!) and said he'd look into it, but wasn't sure if they would be able to provide one.

His first suggestion was to contact the retailer...but I got mine off eBay; so that doesn't help too much.

In pinyin, q and ch are different sounds. The ch sound is pretty much the same as in English, q is made with the tongue curled forward a bit more. Here's a site that goes into it in more detail:
https://chinesepod.com/tools/pronunciation/section/10
Ch'i comes from the old Wade-Giles rominization of the q sound, and ki is the Japanese version of the word. Chi (without the apostrophe) would be a different word altogether, e.g. the Mandarin word for eat.
