Update, and Thank You

Just wanted to give a quick little update to everyone who’s supported us over the years. I noticed recently that three of the DDL episodes had expired/incorrect links (eps 19, 46, and 47 specifically) and that error has been corrected.

As of right now, I’ll be honest, V2s are probably not gonna happen. You’ve probably all figured that out anyway, seeing as how it’s been the better part of a decade (holy shit!!) since I originally did these subs. Being able to focus on this project in my senior year of college was one of the ways that I managed to stay sane and relatively happy, because Magiranger is one of my favorite Super Sentai of all time and this was 100% a passion project. Some of you didn’t like some of my TL choices (tbf some of them were dumb), most of you didn’t like my OP typesetting (and you were right to do so), but I was young and self-taught and by god, I was gonna churn the whole thing out because I was having a lot of fun. I taught myself how to time, how to typeset, and how to do softsub .mkv encodes in order to churn all this out, and it was basically a one-person show for most of the ride.

Something I also want to touch on is the fact that a LOT more Super Sentai is starting to be distributed with English subtitles outside of Japan in an official capacity. Eventually, I have a feeling that Magiranger will be one of them. When that happens, I fully intend to support the official release in every capacity possible- which will include nuking the DDLs. The torrents will remain up because I don’t really have a choice in the matter, seeing as how an old friend with a very large server tower has been seeding them all this time and I don’t have a way to get in contact with him anymore to ask him to stop. This is NOT something that will be happening immediately. It will only happen if/when the show becomes available in English via official distribution channels.

Thank you all so very, very much. From the bottom of my heart. Every time I see someone say “I want to watch Magiranger” and someone responds with “check out tinyhenshin’s subs”, it makes me feel like I’m a part of something bigger than myself. Helping people discover one of my favorite shows is what I set out to do, and I’m glad that this site still gets hits every week even eight years down the line from when I started. This isn’t goodbye per-se, it’s just me saying “hey, y’all mean a lot to me” because I don’t think I ever actually expressed that. Keep watching Magiranger, and support official tokusatsu releases stateside.

We’re Not Dead, We Swear

It’s come to my attention that despite there being a batch torrent with all of the episodes present and accounted for, there are people who still prefer DDL links in this the year of our lord 2018. I can’t blame them, since reliable seeders can be hard to come by these days. So, that being said, I’ve reuploaded the episodes and scripts that somehow got nuked by random DMCA complaints, and they can now be accessed via Mega DDL.

[Episode Batch]

[Script Batch]

Still no exact ETA on V2s, but now that a personal friend of mine has told me that they’ve never watched the show, I’m filled with new resolve to finally get around to finishing them. “idk summer maybe” is about as close as I’m willing to get to a promise.

As always, thank you all for watching and putting up with us.

EDIT: as someone on twitter helpfully pointed out, I’m a dumbass and I accidentally uploaded the raws instead of the final muxed files to the episode batch folder. So it’s gonna be a hot minute before you can download those replacement episodes. I am gomen.

EDIT X2: The correct files have been uploaded to the batch, one of which I actually had to re-mux a fresh copy of because it was lost in The Great HD Crash. Download and enjoy!

Nyaa is dead, long live Nyaa

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the passing of our longtime comrade-in-arms, Nyaa. With him he took all our torrents, and the torrents of many others. As such, please consider all torrent links on this blog dated before today, 5/6/2017, to be dead. Goodnight sweet prince, may a flight of angels sing you to your sleep.

The new torrent batch of all of Magical Family Magiranger (including the movie and the Kodansha special) (no V2s yet, sorry fam) can be accessed from [here]. Please do us a solid and seed it, so that others may be subjected to our subs.

V2s are a long work in progress. They’ll get done someday. No, we haven’t been working on anything else. No, we are not magically alive again.

RE: the missing DDL links for various (completely random) episodes, someone went through and DMCA’d a bunch of the files and scripts completely at random. Unfortunately, a few of them are files and scripts that were lost without backups (we know, it was dumb) during a hard OS reinstall shortly after being uploaded. The loss went unnoticed until the DMCA takedowns. Those episodes are available in the new batch torrent, so if you’re able to, please seed!

RIP in Pizza.

Magical Family Magiranger The Movie: Infershia’s Bride

In this very special summer movie an angry zombie made of knives and ghosts kidnaps Kai’s girlfriend, some unfortunate fashion choices are made, Wolzard shows up just to say his catchphrase and introduce himself to someone who already knows who he is, and you get introduced to The Great Holy Saint Magiel, who is absolutely not the Witch Bandora or Queen Hedrian.

The movie is supposed to fit into the show at about Stage 26, so we recommend giving it a watch before you move on to the final batch of episodes. But you’re a free spirit, you don’t have to listen to us.

Script is timed to Bunny Hat’s raw, just like everything else we’ve done.

That’s it. That’s all of it. We’re done here folks. Delays brought to you by all ten seasons of Criminal Minds and an unfortunate downward spiral into FF7 nostalgia-induced insanity. When this post was first written E3 hadn’t even happened yet, and now that the nostalgia is justified it’s managed to get even worse.

A few notes under the cut.

Magiranger Kodansha Special

In this very special half-episode, a goddess that looks like Miyuki Ozu offers Kai and Hikaru two super-powered magical items to choose between, there’s a small clip show, and Kai uses the power of imagination to turn himself into his Original Character Do Not Steal.

Definitely a cute little short, if you’ve never seen it before. Give it a watch if you have a mind to.

Timed to Bunny Hat’s raw, which can be found [HERE]. The folder also includes the Go-On, Gokai, and Shinken specials.

Torrent for all six episodes: [TORRENT]

For those of you who can’t wait until this summer to see the Ninnin vs. ToQ movie, you can probably just watch Stage 22 and call it good.

No ETA on 27-35 yet, but the current approximation is “Before Easter Weekend” because I’m staffing a convention booth that weekend. A long and probably incomprehensible (because I did not major in linguistics) bunch of words about the magic in the show is behind the cut, if anyone is interested. Started because of the UuzaPhones, got into some romanization stuff, and includes other shit like that.

Also, on the subject of Mirror Worlds: I spent the longest time going “What the hell is “Marudeyouna” a pun on, it has to be something, what am I missing” until someone pointed out that it’s a combination of “maru de” (“just like ____”) and “youna” (“similar to ____”). It was very much a case of not being able to see the forest for the trees because of how involved all the other shitty puns in the show are. I toyed with “Parallel Worlds” but it seemed a little too close a term to the Parallel Braneworlds in Go-On, despite being a different concept. Mirror Worlds encompasses the concept fairly well- weird non-parallel worlds full of crazy shit that can only be accessed by magic.

Batch for all 8 episodes [TORRENT]

Stages 21-26 should hit the ground running compared to these, they just need some final checks etc before they’re ready for human consumption. Unfortunately when we started this project we didn’t realize that the channel where we get our scripts doesn’t broadcast the series movies until after the show has finished running. So we’ll be getting Infershia’s Bride to you guys a little later than originally planned, sorry about the mix-up.

Some very uninteresting notes about rage-inducing puns under the cut:

Delayed because real life and Downton Abbey, among other things. If you’re Trypophobic at all, you may want to be careful with Stage 7 since the MOTW involves a honeycomb-ish pattern. There’s a dumb secondary joke sub track in Stage 11 that might get a giggle out of you if you’re so inclined. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday!

By the way, con season starts next week (with two conventions in two weeks for one of us) so the next update will probably be a batch of 13-20 at the end of the month or a little after, with a batch torrent of 1-20 immediately following.
