Our new series - Akumaizer 3 episode 1!

[Patch] - For the Frumix raws

Here it is, our new (long planned, sometimes blatantly obvious) secret series!
And what an incredible show it is.  One of Shotaro Ishinomori's often overlooked classics, this is another story of his that asks "what makes a hero heroic?"  The story of Zabitan, a cybernetic Demon rebels against his own people, an oppressive clan of demons that live at the center of the Earth.  Along the way, he makes friends and he gains allies - two fellow former Demon Clan soldiers, Ibiru and Gabura - and they fight against the evil Mezalord together.

In this series, the heroes are Demons.  Unlike Kamen Rider, they don't into their cybernetic forms, this is how they always look.  But even though they they look like monsters, they're true heroes.  Another classic Ishinomori theme of judging a book based on its cover.  The focus on this as an overarching story is what makes this such a unique tokusatsu series.

A fun gimmick on the show are the heroes faces.  Their facial expressions will change in quick animations, but they each feature several "masks" with different eye expressions.  It adds a ton of character to these costumed characters.
Also, the usually fantastic 70's tokusatsu score and stunt action are featured.  Not to mention some really wonderful cinematography.

And yes, that's Jiro Chiba as Ippei Shima - aka Taki Kazuya from Kamen Rider!

And here's your humble staff for this series.
Translation - Kou Aidou
Raws/Timing - Scissors Jaguar
Encoding - Mr. Frumix
Typesetting - Ignis, Scissors Jaguar, and Steel A Jeeg
Editing - Steel A Jeeg
QC - Steel A Jeeg

Be sure to give a big thanks to Kou and Scissors, who have been diligently working on this series for months before release.

Be on the look out for the next few episodes soon.  We'll be releases these regularly, along with Kamen Rider.  And watch out for Skyrider's triumphant return soon, along with another special surprise!

Kamen Rider episode 38 and 39(v2)!

Kamen Rider episode 39(v2):

It's weird to think, but we actually showed the last episode with Colonel Zol in it back in December, for Christmas.  But this will actually be the last time we see Colonel Zol.  It's a bittersweet goodbye.  We lose Colonel Zol and his scenery chewing presence, but we get the iconic Dr. Shinigami in return.

This episode is another scientist abuse episode.  Shocker goes to some great lengths to make sure that Dr. Seki and his daughter are miserable!  But seriously, Dr. Seki... don't be such a downer.  That man should come equipped with the sad sack mopey Charlie Brown music playing on loop.
And while we're on the subject, RayKing is creepy as heck!  Yikes!

We also get some pretty tense drama between Tachibana and Hayato.  An important moment for both characters.  And a classic bit with the girls taking shots at Taki.  All in all, a solid episode.  And it leads right into our v2 release of episode 39, the last episode of the Colonel Zol arc!

Which, of course, is leading up to a pretty big comeback...
But first, we've got a new series in the works.  It's been in the works for a while, actually.  But we're just hammering out the details.  Expect a first episode release soon.  And if you stop by some of our usual hangouts, you might catch a sneak preview!

Kamen Rider episode 37!

[DDL] [Script] [Torrent] [AVI]
Update: Script uploaded to Mega.  Packupload hates scripts, it would seem.

Oh well... it's been a while!
Where we've been has been well documented on our Twitter and Facebook page (come join us!)
From there you can follow us and get updates on new releases, warnings on extended delays, and meet some of the staff.

Instead of our usual ranting trivia filled release post, we've got some information about this release, and upcoming releases.
First off all, the big elephant in the room:

Yes, Transform.  It always should have been that way.  Our preference has always been to translate everything that should be translated.  Henshin got a pass, because of older fan nostalgia.  We referred to these guys as Henshin Heroes back in the day!  Also fans were used to it.  but it SHOULD be translated.  And it is now.  BUT... if you're still attached to the Henshin, don't worry.  You can select an optional subtitle track.  Just choose the track labeled "Henshin."

Which brings us to our second topic:  Releases.
From now on, NEW releases will be MKV only.  You'll still get a script, a torrent, and a DDL.  But the AVI releases will come later on.  This will make getting new episodes out faster, and will save us the trouble of having to reencode AVI versions if there are script errors.
Actually, we would really love to get a volunteer to help us with hardsubbed encodes and uploads.  If you're interested, drop us a line on the forum.

Want to know how to play MKVs?  It's really simple.
Get this - CCCP Codec Pack
And this - Media Player Classic
Boom.  You're set.  Enjoy smaller file sizes and superior video quality!

I won't say too much about the episode, but it's a good one.  Classic Rider action, but we get kind of cheated on the finisher!  Oh well, it's not as FLASHY but it's actually pretty brutal.  Yikes.  Speaking of brutal, watch as a bevy of Shocker badguys beat up a bunch of kids.  Oh good!

We'll be back VERY soon with Kamen Rider 38, and a special release to kick off our new show!

Kamen Rider Stronger episode 32!

Kamen Rider Stronger episode 32:
[MKV] [Script] [MKV Torrent]
[Release Post and MP4 at Midnight Crew Subs]
Jo Shigeru has received the Super Electronic power up.  But can this new power be enough to stop the rootin' tootin' Baron Rock?  What about Baron Rock and Secretary of State Wolf together?  And then General Shadow shows up to make things more interesting... Yikes!  Things are getting out of hand for our hero.

This episode has a great dynamic going on between Baron Rock and Secretary of State Wolf.  The infighting between the Delza Army members is really the meat of these later episodes, and its a big part of what makes Stronger such a great show!

Things might also seem like they're getting out of hand for us here at KITsubs.  Well, they're not.  We're just working on a big release for our brand new series, as well as hitting some pretty cool milestones with our regular releases!  Stay tuned next week for Kamen Rider 37, and the debut episode of our new project!

PS: There was a little flub in last episode's script.  We'll release the v2 along with the batch torrent, but for now you can get the script here. [Episode 31 Script v2]

Kamen Rider Stronger episode 31!

Kamen Rider Stronger episode 31:
[MKV] [Script] [MKV Torrent]
[Release Post and MP4 at Midnight Crew Subs]

Update: Packupload is having issues again, so I moved the script download.  It's working now.

Reeling from the loss of Tackle, and facing the increasingly stronger Cyberdemons of the Delza Army, Jo Shigeru has seen better days.  And his battle with Major Skull couldn't be going much worse.  Tachibana is worried after Shigeru suddenly disappears. But when he returns, he comes back with his batteries recharged...

If you're a Heisei fan, this episode is a relevant milestone.  Stronger's Super-Electronic upgrade marks the franchise's first use of a power up form (yes, Kamen Rider gets an upgrade, but that's not the same.)  You could also say that Kabuto's Clock Up was a reference to Stronger's Charge Up call-out.  And if you want to draw even more vague connections, the part of the Kabuto Riders' belts that they hit to activate Clock Up is the same part of Rider 1's belt that activated his power up.  WELL NOW.

In other news, we're officially back.  Our side project with our friends is over, and we're ready to get back into the full swing of things.  Part of that is going to be v2s for our older releases, to get them up to the same level of quality as our newer stuff.  And to fix some annoying mistakes.
I don't know if you guys saw over on Facebook or Twitter, but we're going to focus on MKV releases only for the v2s.  It's going to make releases much faster, and the changes won't be drastically different from the currently available AVIs.  Don't worry, when we get around to releasing them I'll be sure to post a quick guide on the best way to play MKVs on your computer (it's super simple, I promise.)  AVI releases of some sort should follow in the future.

Well, that's it for now.  We'll be releasing some Stronger v2s soon, and we've got quite a few other surprises in store.  Not to mention a resurrected project...

Updates!

This is a cross-post from our facebook page, where we've been very active with updates and information recently.  If you want to stay connected, get news on upcoming releases, or offer feedback, stay connected on Twitter and Facebook!

I've been thinking about this for a while, but I think we might go MKV only for our V2 releases. That means that we won't be reencoding any AVIs for older episodes.  New releases will still have a dual release, though.
This is going to save a lot of time as we work on getting our older releases (which are quite a few!) on par with our newer stuff.

Expect to start seeing those soon, as we start to wind down on our work with Over-Time and Midnight crew on Jojo (yes, it was us, big surprise) and we start thinking about the future. And expect those Stronger V2s to be in full swing in the coming months.

Speaking of Stronger, guess what our next release is?
See you soon!!

Kamen Rider episode 36!

Kamen Rider episode 36:
[MKV] [Script] [AVI] [MKV Torrent] [AVI Torrent]

(Note: For DDLs, you must now be logged in at KRDL.  See this link for more info.)
 
First of all: Sorry for the delay, guys.  If you want to read more about that (and how we've got a ton of new stuff on the way, and more time to work on them) you can see our Twitter and Facebook updates!

Now, on to the episode:  Shocker has unearthed an ancient evil.  And he's here to A Borro Borro and Ee Borro Borro, and he's all out of Borros.
And as much fun as an ancient babbling fire-breathing Mummy is, this episode  is really about Zol.  He's got some great scenes, some great reactions, and some all around awesome villainy to be had.

Also, check the script notes to see some wacky last minute writing and dialogue changes that must have went on with this episode.  There is a very hasty feel to the editing halfway through the episode, and you'll notice it.  It doesn't take away from the fun of the Rider's battle with Egyptus, but it certainly is curious.

We'll be back with some more Showa Rider action.  We're going to work on a few episodes of Stronger, as we pull into the home stretch and get ready to finish the series!  We hope to see you soon!!
