I thought this might be a good time to do one of these. I tend to assume that everyone reads twitter, or /m/, so I just don’t do regular blog posts. I’m just gonna list out some of the bigger questions/comments we’ve been getting.
1. Now that Kakuranger’s done you’re totally starting Gingaman now, right?
Kakuranger in no way delayed, inconvenienced, or had anything to do with preventing us from us from working on Gingaman. Kou’s been done with translating Kaku for months, and Gingaman was started the week after we finished Megaranger. The two projects never clashed in any way whatsoever.
2. WHERE’S GINGA?!
As of writing this, Episode 23 is translated. We’re going to release 1-25 in a batch (With this you get a good amount of plot and it ends at a nice place for batching) and then the rest is weekly releases of one to two episodes at a time. I won’t give an exact ETA because if I do subninjas will murder me. So far, our weekly groove is two episodes a week, but again, no definite ETA other than Soon-ish.
2.A NO! THE OTHER GINGA!
It’ll be finished eventually, and then OT will do S.
3. OLE?
Eventually. The plan is to release 1-8 and then weeklies. The first 8 Ohranger episodes is everything up until the massive retool. We’ll have a whole post about that when the time comes.
4. Megaranger VS Carranger when?!
Once Haroranger releases all of Carranger then you’ll get this because it spoils the ending to Car a bit. And before you ask, Ginga vs Mega takes place after Gingaman ends.
5. Decade?
Magenta has finished his HeartCatch Precure duties, and will be working on Decade soon, hopefully.
I think that’s just about everything!
Ultraman Cosmos when? You know that’s what you were actually hinting at with your hints, not either of the things you mentioned here.
Don’t even front.
Too, good luck on the project.
After Gingaman can I suggest GoGoV as the next project.
No.
Well, someone’s got to take over that project now that Hikari Senshi is pretty much dead…
What about Magiranger or Boukenger (the former being one that doesn’t have a good sub yet, and Boukenger was another Hikari-Senshi project that was already pretty much dead anyway)?
We don’t take requests. We sub what we want to.
What about “let’s finish those two show before thinking about what they will do next”? –‘
It would be best if MFC can finish Ohranger and Gingaman first. Who knows if there will be other official Shout Factory releases after Zyuranger?
In b4 “BUT DIS TAKES 2 LONG Y KANT HE GIVE US A REAL DATE UR DA WORS SUB GROOP.”
So glad to hear Gingaman’s initial batch is nearly ready! I was starting to get a little concerned. That said, good luck with everything.
The only other questions I can think of are:
1. Will Megaranger vs Carranger actually be a joint between you and Harorangers?
2. Any plans for Ohranger vs. Kakuranger esp since Kakuranger is now done?
1. Kou translated Carranger. There’s no need for a joint.
2. Probably.
really looking forward to the possibility somebody finally doing Ohranger vs. Kakuranger. The Vs movies are my favorites.
thoughts?
I’m excited, but I think the fandom just got thrown for a loop and they don’t know how to react to it all yet.
How much do you wanna bet that the official subs will end up being lower-quality than the fansubs? Because that happens disturbingly often (look at the Digimon Adventure subs available on Netflix Instant).
I don’t want to think about that because Zyuranger was a labor of love for me. There’s nothing I can do about it, and what happens happens.
Hold that thought, there:
Although I’m not sure what “fan involvement entails…
So Mega, how’s Gingaman for ya so far?
I like it.
