Kuuga 12 released

And what a way to end the first 'arc' of Kuuga!
Hope everyone enjoys the ending to this story as much as I did.
We're also 1/4 of the way through Kuuga now.

Kuuga 11 released

We're still alive! Long story short, life got in the way.
Now watch us play catch up to where we should be.

Kuuga 10 released

ZERO_ninja's PC has died again due to a rerun of the Kuuga curse fallen into technical issues so here's another delayed release from Syochan. Enjoy!

Kuuga 09 released

We stumbled across a fatal error just pre-release so we had to redo encoding/uploading/etc for this episode. Here's Kuuga episode 9, enjoy.

Kuuga 08 released

Due to a persistent curse/fever; encoder shenanigians; hibernation periods of QC; technical difficulties, we give you Kuuga episode 8, about 1 day later than usual.

Kuuga 07 released

Another week, another visit from the Kuuga curse. This time, my boiler gave up i.e. I have no central heating and/or hot water right now.

Because my lack of comfort is bloody annoying there is no release. Thankfully, that has bugger all to do with fansubbing so here's episode 7.

Kuuga 06 released

Since the Kuuga curse is apparently broken for now, we're gonna go a bit further and give you guys a second episode release this week to celebrate that and the blog's 1,000 visitors so enjoy.

Kuuga 05 released

Okay, seems the Kuuga curse has some truth behind it after all.  During uploading, ZERO_ninja lost all electrical power in his home.

Luckily enough, episode 5 of Kuuga was completed although the other surprises we had in store for you guys will have to wait.

Kuuga 04 released

After that little bout of drama with our missing encoder, he's resurfaced and got the goods ready.

Here's Kuuga episode 4, enjoy.

Kuuga 03 released

After a bit of a tight rush and almost missing Sunday, we've managed to squeeze out episode 3.

Kuuga 02 released

Right, after that quick week since episode 1, we're back with episode 2.

Kuuga 01 released

Episode 1 of our first project finally rolls out of the gate.

Sorry about the split DDL but the filesize was too big for SendSpace's limits.
You shouldn't have problems if you use JDownloader, though.

As always, it'd be preferred if you can leech the DDL then help seed the torrent.

Kuuga Preview v2 released

While ZERO_ninja's encoding the first episode of Kuuga, we thought we'd go over the trailer again and re-release it in preparation for the actual series.

DDL : SendSpace / MegaUpload
Torrent : NyaaTorrents / TokyoToshokan

A little background for the people who can be bothered reading: The Grongi (the 'monsters' appearing in Kuuga have their own language and as such need much time wasted in deciphering their words into Japanese, and then into English). At the time of translating the trailer, it sounded like the Grongi in it was imitation Grongi i.e. Japanese phrased/worded to sound Grongi-esque. Seeing as that wasn't the case, I went back over it using the handy but confusing Grongi/Japanese chart.

Yes, it's only two spoken lines and doesn't add anything of value new so it's not necessary to get this.

As we speak, ZERO_ninja will encode and watch #1 today before distributing it via DDL to the other QCs. If all things go smoothly, a public release should be in the next few days.

Thanks again for being patient with us.

Kuuga Preview Released

Yep, here's the trailer/preview for our first announced project, Kamen Rider Kuuga.
