Episode 4 Out Now

Suicide. You know, for kids!

Another episode is out, I think it's a good one.  The villains plan seems a little better defined then "Just send down a monster to Japan and hope that a Super Sentai team doesn't find it."

Next episode should be out a little quicker than this one.  In addition we've started work on the movie and are planning to have it released on the anniversary of its premiere date.  If you're American just remember to file your taxes beforehand.

Promo 4 Out Now

They look more like children to me...

This of course means that episode 4 has been timed and should be out in the next couple of days.  I went with Media Fire for the upload this week.  The promos have been less than 3MB each week and it seems kind of silly to have people spend more time waiting in line than downloading the file.  I'll probably upload the scripts to Media Fire as well.

Episode 03 Finally Released

Someone call the FBI.

Longer than I would have liked, but real life comes first. Episode 3 is now out and it features one of the most original plots in any Sentai. Of course by original I mean common.

3 episodes in, and not a hint of mecha.  We must be patient. I've seen Power Rangers Zeo, I know they have them.

Quick Public Service Announcement

I think it's safe to say at this time that everyone reading this has heard about the massive earthquake that hit Japan.  In the face of this tragedy CStoys International and the Friends of Justice have gathered together to raise money for the relief fund.  We've placed a widget on the site that you can use to donate to their efforts. While we all keep the people of Japan in our hearts, minds, and prayers please try to help if you can. Show that we in the Toku community care about the innocent as much as the heroes we cheer for each week.

Thank you.

Promo 3 out now

Wonder were Doc gets it from...

Here's another promo to get you ready for the next great installment of Ohranger.  In the time it takes you to read this you could have watched the promo and become all psyched up for episode 3.  Thursday is St. Patrick's day so don't expect the episode then.  It should be out Friday or Saturday though.

Good News Everyone! Episode 2 V1.1 available

Good news everyone!

I've been able to fix the repeater issue by using YAMB and mp4box to mux the mp4.  While I was at it I also switched from faac to nero to encode the audio, and have had a friend test the file on the iPhone 4.

Enough inside baseball. Here is episode 2 how it was supposed to be, properly encoded, and compatible with iOS (and by virtual pretty much every other device).  File size is 10MB larger, but eh.

There is no change to the script, but I did fix the timing issue with the naration after the credits.  That's the only change that doesn't deal with the encoding.

Episode 2 is repeating itself, repeating itself

It was brought to our attention (both in the comments here and on our thread at Henshin Justice that the video for episode 2 repeats itself at the end, but without sound. I've gone and confirmed this and want to apologize. We didn't catch this because the encoded video plays just fine on my windows7 box using Windows Media Player Classic and CCCP.  However on my Mac it would repeat on both Quicktime and VLC.  To see how widespread this is I ran the video on my PS3 and HTPC running Linux and XBMC. Here's what I've found

• On windows using CCCP and Windows Media Player Classic the video plays fine. Video is shown to be the correct length.
• On Windows Media Player 12 the video plays once, but thinks it is 39 minutes long, the progress bar is broken as well.  It will not play the second half
• On OSX the video will play twice on Quicktime, second time without sound.  Same with VLC on OSX
• On the PS3 the video is believed to be 39 minutes long, but will only play the episode once, with sound.
• On Ubuntu Linux running XBMC the video length is the correct size and plays only once, with sound.

 I'll try and fix this for the next promo and episode 3, but since this does not affect the ability to watch and hear the entire episode there probably won't be a version 2 any time soon.

Episode 2 Out Now

Be afraid Baranoia. Be very afraid.

In this episode the other four members of Ohranger join Ohred in the fight. This episode is also the first in Ohranger to have a giant monster. Still no mecha though.  I'd say more but that would be spoilers.

You might have noticed this release is in mp4 instead of avi.  Making this switch is something I've wanted to do from the start, but lacked the technical knowledge to do so. Switching from Xvid in an avi container to h.264 in an mp4 container allows for a (arguably) better picture in a smaller file size. How small? About 50mb on average. We're also looking to have our releases play on as many devices as possible.  If my audio encoding was correct this should play on iOS devices as well as the PS3, Xbox360, and any computer with a decent codec pack.  That said I don't have an iOS device to test on (iPad2 coming my way soon, but not yet) and the person I had test on the 360 is off on spring break.  If we broke the 360 support we promise to release an Xvid version.

Promo 2 out now

One of the many dynamic camera angles found in Toku.

While we work on the Second episode enjoy a tasty promo.  If this was TV we would show this five times a day every day until the episode aired.  Aren't you glad we aren't TV?

Episode 1 Out Now

We are pleased to announce that our first full episode is now available.  On this day, 16 years ago (holy cow, was it really that long ago?!) Choriki Sentai Ohranger premiered on Japanese television.

Lots of destruction in this episode, the darker tone they wanted to have really shows through in these first few episodes. Also if you though modern reds hogged the spotlight...well don't worry you'll see a complete roll call next episode.

If you are looking for Raws for the script you can check on over at Toku Raw Revolution. While they are not our Raw source (we bought our own copies of the DVD) I checked the first episode against our script and it appears to work fine without any adjustments.

Choriki Sentai Ohranger Promo 1

So it's a little later than I originally said, but here is our first release,  The promo for episode one. Since we have all the DVDs we'll be subbing all the promos, hardsubs only.

Episode 1 is being cleaned up, expect a release tomorrow.

俺に質問するな～！

I'm looking forward to translating some more episodes for OMFG, I hope to grow and become more efficient in the translation and localization of the dialog.

hello, world

Hey look! I'm the first post!

Wait a second, this is a blog entry not a forum post or comments page. Oh well, guess we should just push through and carry on with the introductions.  So if you "found" your way here (most likely from a link I posted on Henshin Justice) then you probably have some idea what this is.

We are a new fansub "group" (can 2 people make a group?) working on subbing a complete season of Super Sentai.  There are only two of us, myself doing the timing/encoding/QC and my roommate who will be handling the translating (he's fluent!).  What show are we translating? well that would be (drumroll please ...) Choriki Sentai Ohranger (Super Powered Squadron Ohranger if that's more your liking).

Not Pictured: Power Rangers Zeo

The plan is to release a hardsub and script file. We are using the R2 DVDs as a source so if the script doesn't play nice with other raws out there we may help oblige. We tested the hardsub on the PS3 and Xbox360, so those who like to watch their toku on the TV have little to fear.

First release will be later today. Ohre!
