they’re basically the same game but white 2 and blue 2 have slightly different Pokemon so you need both if you wanna catch em all

For real! I had some kids offer to mow my lawn (that was desperate for a mowing) last summer and I had to turn them down because I didn’t have $5 in cash

kids these days gotta start carrying around contactless payment terminals if they want anyone under 40 to pay for something at their front door tbh

As for the video quality’s affect on you: I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you’re able to find a solution that helps you enjoy media, regardless of medium. Maybe finding composite cables (which max out at 480i) for your Blu-Ray player would help?

I haven’t heard of that show in particular, so I’m not sure about its target demographic.

My argument against “no reason not to do both” is that they’d be doubling costs on the actual disc authoring and manufacturing. Toku’s western target demo is tiny, so I don’t think the cost would be worth it.

Can I ask why? Blu-Rays have a higher quality ceiling, more space for lower quality video, and fewer region restrictions.

Fam it was a good day for Rider and a baaaad day for the Blue Jays 😭

Rootin’ for you, man. You got this

Oh my god please don’t tell me Kirk is going on the injured list #baseball

They could do this with any -masu form verb tbh

Could be a (incredibly hard to translate) running joke in the show

Gonna need an S.H. Figuarts Shinkocchou Seihou figure of Deneb asap tbh

I’m ready to get along with Yuuto

KAMEN RIDER AGITO | #1 YouTube video by TOEI TOKUSATSU WORLD OFFICIAL

I think 1 and 2 of both are already on YouTube? Here’s Agito 1, for example youtu.be/dFVZuTp70XI?...

Like ideally they’d be all on YouTube in perpetuity for free. But they clearly don’t like that idea, which, fair enough. But let me pay for it? Let me buy access? I want the thing. Let me buy the thing. Toei let me pay you for the good thing you make.

tbh Toei should just offer a paid subscription service with all their toku on it, subbed. I’d pay $10 a month to access Toei’s toku library.

Or sell me blu-rays. That would also be nice

Or both!!

There was a podcast about 4Kids history a while back. They asked the guy who wrote the dub for this episode why he called them jelly donuts. If I remember correctly, he mainly had to match lip flap. “Jelly donut” and “onigiri” had the same number of syllables, and the deadline was coming up fast.

Are you freaking kidding me

why are they making it difficult???

Anyway I’m sorry to the non-toku people for the Rider spam this morning. Rider means a lot to me, and there was a lot of (good) news to wake up to today!

wouldn’t be the first time an official toku release just bought the legal rights to fansubs! It would save them a lot of time tbh

Yeah, I really hope the subs are good! I mean they can’t be much worse than the last time Agito was “officially” subbed and they had such classics as “honshin” and “transfrom”

Well

This sounds like they’re gonna be putting full seasons up! I think the “two subbed episodes” thing was to try to entice licensors? Like “here’s a show you can license if you like”

But this is just the full shows

They literally posted this on Twitter 5 minutes after I posted this lmao

Oh right, Agito and 555 were on a different streaming service with terrible subs. I can’t believe I forgot all about “honshin.”

Just thinking English, what’s available?

Rider 71 is just streaming

V3, X, and Amazon are just on disc, and Stronger is coming

Black/RX are on disc

Kuuga, Ryuki, Zero-One and Geats are streaming and on disc

Zeztz is just streaming

I think that’s it?

I keep thinking about Kamen Rider stuff being announced “with overseas markets in mind.” It’s great in theory! But also, there’s 55 years of the franchise’s history, but only like 20% of it is legally available in English (I dunno about other non-Asian languages but I assume it’s not better)

It rules that this was episode 69

Happy Good Friday!
