Well, originally we were part of /m/toku subs, and I worked with UK Windom on Kuuga (before our translator disappeared)

After the group disbanded, he came to me with some scripts for X, Super-1, and Skyrider. The idea was to get some episodes out for each series that hadn't had any groups working on it. X was actually the first we did, then we wanted to do 4 episodes of each series. We ended up deciding on Skyrider and Super-1, I think because they were popular in the country that UK Windom is from. I can't remember exactly why right now, but I remember Super-1 being a pain because of all of the sci-fi terms causing problems.

Anyway, sorry for the long story... EVENTUALLY we decided on Skyrider because it was relatively short, and there were so many cameos from past Riders. And maybe because deep down, we knew that it was a show that was least likely to get any attention from any other groups.

tl;dr - The head translator wanted to do it!

I'd hump his leg :lol

Oh MY!

Huh. Alrighty then.

All this is reminding me that I haven't finished Amazon yet. :P
But I'll pick up Kamen Rider after I look for Amazon subbed (It always was kind of odd to have watched so many series and never even seen an episode of the original series)

It might be rough finding Amazon right now, because of the whole Megaupload thing. But these are the guys you want for Amazon. Keep an eye on their site, they should be reuploading everything over the next few days.

The original series is great for fans that started on the newer series. You really get to see where a lot of the traditions and references in the newer shows come from.

Hey guys, we just reuploaded the links for episode 19 of Kamen Rider. They weren't on Megaupload, but they weren't working for some people. You can always check our release page for the latest download links for older releases:

If any of you find any dead links, let us know! We're in the process of reuploading our scripts (those were all hosted on megaupload) but we want to make sure that everything is in working order.

I'm REALLY glad to see that you guys weren't hit by the shutdown of Megaupload. I'm happy to finally be getting my Skyrider on :) I'll let you know if any of the links don't work. I'm hoping to burn my way through this and the classic series while I'm finishing up Black from Century Kings

Ok, so we weren't affected by the Megaupload shutdown... but we WERE affected by the "almost everything else" shutdown. But we've been rebuilding since then.

For now, we've got all of our Skyrider episodes backed up on Rapidshare (available on the blog)
All of our scripts are up, too.

We've also got two big batch torrents of all of our Kamen Rider episodes, each batch in BOTH formats. Those are on the blog too.

For tonight, we've got Kamen Rider episode 25!
Have some links:

Episode 25:

[MKV DDL] [AVI DDL]
ps: I got the ok to post links, I swear!

I definitely need to start getting the original Kamen Rider subs. I think they would go great the classic Ultraman stuff I have! :) Plus I have my plushie Kamen Rider I could bust out when I watch them.

I have to see a picture of that plush!
