Kamen Rider Episode 10!


This episode was cursed, I'm sorry.  First, we had problems uploading the files;  Then, as I went to put the links in this post, I realized that I completely messed up a part of the script.  Woops.  Ugh.  Well, that's all behind us now.
This Fujioka-less episode is vastly superior to the one before it.  Although there are still some particularly mismatched voice overs for Hongo, the action and the plot are better.  And there's more Tachibana to make up for the half-Hongo.
Also, this show is starting to have a "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure"-level of unfortunate ends for dogs!
(*I could be biased about this episode, because the villain Ritsuko Ayakouji is incredibly attractive.)

Next week we've got a particularly nasty Condor, a wedding, and the unofficial introduction of Agent Taki.  Be sure to check it out!

Also:  Big thanks for the nice shout out from our friends at Over-Time.  You boys are all right.  Check out their work on Kamen Rider OOO, and Gokaiger.  Two great tastes that taste great together!

Kamen Rider Episode 09!

 I'm going to include the links first, for this episode.  Because there's a lot of background on this episode that I want to cover, but I don't want people to see a wall of text and miss the link.  So here's Kamen Rider episode 9.  Enjoy!  (Also:  HUGE thanks to Starseeker and Chokutsuu who helped with translating a huge chunk of Kanji in this episode.  If you're over on the /m/subs forums, be sure to say thanks!)

   Well, this is it.  This episode and the next, "The Revived CobraMan," are the last two episodes with NEW footage of Takeshi Hongo out of his suit for a long time.  And that new footage is few and far between, with most of actor Hiroshi Fujioka's scenes being reused from previous episodes.
   The reason?  During the filming for this episode, Fujioka was injured in a motorcycle accident.  The injury would prove debilitating enough that it left Toei scrambling to find a way to continue filming their new runaway hit TV show.
   Their first solution?  Reuse existing footage of Takeshi Hongo, and dub over his voice in post production.  Even the new footage used this dubbed voice, actually.  It was common practice on TV shows in the 70's, especially in Japan, to dub the voices over for scenes where audio recording might prove difficult.  Hiroshi Fujioka was injured before he had a chance to record his ADR lines, so his replacement VA took his place.

   A little info on Hongo's voice actor:  Rokuro Naya is one of Toei's go-to voices for Rider 1 in the early days, when they couldn't (or didn't bother to) get Hiroshi Fujioka.  Ironically, he's the brother of Great Leader's voice actor Goro Naya!  As of this post, he's still an active VA in the industry, with many anime and dubbing roles under his belt.
   His voice is noticeably different from Fujioka's, so the difference was jarring to fans.  Eventually, Toei received so many complaints about the patchwork effort to continue the series that they decided to go with a second, decidedly more successful, solution.  Most of you probably know what that is already.  If you don't, you're in for a treat!  And you'll find out...  in a few episodes.

If you've read this far, then thank you for humoring me.  We've got more episodes on the way.  Hopefully we'll have episode 10 done with TL check and QC by next week.  Also, we've got a fanpage on Facebook now!  Come by and "like" us, if you're a true friend of justice!

Let's Go Kamen Riders! Net Movies 5-8, Scripts, and NEWS.

Say what you will about Heisei Riders, or characters like Ankh...  I love him.  I think he's hilarious, and Net Movie 7 is full of Ankh shenanigans.  Ryosuke Miura is at his best when he's hamming it up for these Net Movies.

Now, for some crummy news.  Veoh got a copyright complaint over Net Movie 8, so no streaming video in this update.  However, they're up on KITsubs Veoh still (except for 8) so if you want to watch them streaming, you can.  But none of that even matters if you're here for ddl links, which I have in abundance!

Let's Go Kamen Riders!  Net Movies -
Episode 5
Episode 6
Episode 7
Epiosde 8

And here's a zip with all 8 scripts.
Let's Go Kamen Riders! Net Movie Scripts 1-8
There's no raws available for these yet, but if you can rip FLV video then you can use these.  BUT!  You should download these, and hold on to them for the inevitable DVD release.  Also, there's a bunch of extra stuff in the scripts.  Alternate translates (See after the jump) and liner notes, and some stupid jokes.  You can always open these up in AegisSub, or your subbing program of choice, and modify the translations to your liking.

Read on for some rambling about the translation for Net Movies 7 and 8!

Let's Go Kamen Riders! Net Movie 4 (streaming)

Since there seems to be an issude with two streaming videos playing in the same post, I separated them.  THANKS VEOH...


Net Movie 4, probably my favorite so far, inducts ZO into the same fellowship of disgruntled Riders as poor Shin.  Between ZO's furious rant, and Sieg as the host, it's going to be pretty hard to top this Net Movie.  Thankfully, there's plenty more chances for them to try, coming up!

Let's Go Kamen Riders! Net Movies 3, and 4.


Net Movie 3 showcases the lovable duos of the two most recent Kamen Rider shows:  Shotaro and Philip, and Eiji and Ankh.  Like yin and yang, the dynamics of these two partnerships are dissected and discussed.  Or maybe there's just some wacky shenanigans, and some fanfiction fueling underwear-ing to be had.  My place is not to judge.

If downloading is more your speed, then I've got you covered as always:

If you're interested in scripts, I will be making the available once the first 8 are done.  For now, those are the only episodes currently available online.  But rest assured, we will continue subbing them as they pop up.
Check back in for more Net Movies, this week!  And don't forget, Kamen Rider 9 is coming out this week, too!

Secret Project - Let's Go Kamen Riders Net Movies!


It wasn't much of a secret, after a while.  It was spoiled on HJU, JEFusion, /m/, twitter...  the list goes on.  But that's ok!  Because I like surprises.  For this release, given how short each episode is, I thought it would be FUN STUFF to include embedded videos along with the AVI release.  So enjoy!


All downloads for the net movies will be in avi format.  No mkv release, because of the file format the original video available in.  Scripts are available, but they won't work with any currently available raws, so I'll wait to release them until DVD rips pop up.

Coming up next is Skyrider 8!
