Kamen Rider W Forever – A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate 3D

Kamen Rider W Forever – A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate 3D

So, here’s a fun bonus release for you if you have a 3D display! Thanks to evanmisha, who provided me with the 3D double feature BD (which also included the 3D Goseiger movie, which I may encode as well), we’ve now got the 3D version of A to Z.

 

Some things to note for this release: Because there are a ton of different 3D encoding options out there, I’ve tried to stick to what seemed to be the most common standards. As such, this is a half-resolution side-by-side encode, and in order to try and retain a little extra detail, I’ve kept it at 1080p rather than 720p like the rest of W. This caused the file size to get somewhat large, but I think it was worth it.

 

I’ve included two subtitle tracks, one “dual stream” that doubles the subs so that they are merged together when displayed, and a “single stream” standard track in case your player renders the subs differently. In most cases, the dual stream subs will be what you want to use. Playback has been tested with MPC-HC’s latest release, so I can’t speak of how it will play back in other players.

 

Anyway, enjoy this extra release of A to Z, and thanks again to evanmisha for the BD ISO!

Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Episode 1

Episode 1: Pain is Power

As Super Sentai fanboy Akagi Nobuo, age 29, is hard at work in Akihabara, a woman named Hiroyo Hakase appears before him and asks him to “become Akiba Red!”

So, we’re adding another show to the “upgrade to BD” list, and this time, it’s a Sentai! …sort of. These releases will be sporadic, maybe one a week or so. Right now, I only have the BD ISOs for Season 1, but I’d like to do Season 2 as well if I can get the BDs.

 

We are, as usual, using the Over-Time subs, though we’ve made a few tweaks and additions. Unlike most of their shows, Toei offered up Akibaranger with subtitles on YouTube to East Asian countries, so using some of the translation notes left over in the O-T sub files, I’ve made a few translation revisions, as well as adding sign translations where possible. I’ve also added romanji lines for the OP and ED songs. Lastly,  I’m also republishing the Episode Notes originally posted by O-T, with any new stuff added in. Those will be linked below.

Kamen Rider OOO Episode 3

Episode 3: Cats, Evolution, and Gluttons

Ankh becomes troubled when Eiji prevents him from eliminating his possessed body’s sister while another Greed uses a man’s gluttony to create more Medals.

Quick note here: I’ve revised the names of two of the Greeds (Mezool and Kazari) to match the official spelling as seen on various pieces of merchandise like the Figuarts.

Kamen Rider W Wrap Up

It’s done! Sort of!

 

Now that we’ve finished the last of the W episodes, it’s time to talk about what is next. Obviously, W isn’t quite complete, so there are still three more movies immediately considered to be part of W’s run. Those are, in rough timeline order, Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie War Core, Kamen Rider W Returns: Accel, and Kamen Rider W Returns: Eternal.

 

As far as I can recall, and I’ll have to double check this, W Returns: Eternal doesn’t directly tie into the other two in any way, meaning we can release that whenever, so that will probably be the next W release we do unless I’m wrong on the timeline. However, W Returns: Accel follows up from the events of Movie War Core, so before we release Accel, we’ll want to release Movie War Core.

 

Unlike Movie War 2010, where we released it despite not having released anything related to Decade, which partly had to do with there not being BD sources for Decade, we have BDs for Kamen Rider OOO. So, it’s time to officially announce (and it was hinted at a bit by the 2nd picture in the W Episode 47 post) that we will be continuing forward with our Kamen Rider Blu-ray encodes with OOO!

 

As you can probably guess, we’ll be using the Over-Time subs for OOO, and you can expect those releases to be similar to how we’ve handled W, with two episodes at a time, covering each two-part arc.

 

Now, I know some people have asked me on IRC about a batch release for W. We will be compiling the whole thing into a batch soon. While there are a few tweaks that I thought about making that I had missed in my check of later episodes (such as early episodes using the spelling “Nazca” rather than the correct one “Nasca”), I don’t think anything is serious enough to warrant v2s. In the future, if and when Over-Time revisits the W translations, we’ll swap the subs out then.

 

We’ll probably batch the movies together as a separate batch once all of them are done as well.

 

We also have a few more things planned to be released soon, but for now, we’ll leave it with the OOO announcement, so be sure to look for that coming very soon!

 

I want to end with a quick note thanking everyone who has supported us with these releases. I’m very much aware that our anime releases are very contentious due to my choices in filtering, so I’m grateful that people have given these releases a chance and hopefully come away satisfied. I’d also like to thank all of the crew at Over-Time (and of course, any former staff that were involved during the W-Time days) for their work on W in the first place, which enabled us to even have subs to put on these. Last, I’d like to thank the various uploaders that generously provided the BD sources, which made the whole thing possible in the first place.
