Series Subtitle Updates 1: Kamen Rider X Hardsubs

Okay, here's how this works;

When I find an updated copy of a Series I've reviewed before with partial and or nonexistant Subtitles that has now obtained them, I'll update with this minor entry.
In this Case, Kamen Rider X is the one that has had the update, with the full series now featuring subbing.
The Sub Team is Bunny Hat.  And before now I had not heard of them.  for the most part they appear to be a host for Raws and Hardsubs for other factions of the fansubbing community.
And BOY, are the X subs Hardsubs.

Hardsubs, for those not in the know are the most basic Level of subtitling, where they take the words spoken and run them through a translator, then make sense of the dialogue that comes.  this is the kind of dialogue that would go on to create such Meme's as "All your base".
Softsubs are the next level up, providing translation that is less rough, and the dialogue appears more like something one would say in real life.

Shinta Reviews: Onimusha 2

The Samurai's Destiny opens the door as Shinta Celebrates 1 year of sporadic reviews by revisiting his first.

E3 ZOE news.

Have I mentioned How Much I love Zone of the Enders?  We got some new news on The Zone of the Enders HD Collection from the Producers, courtesy of E3.

If you have no Idea what I'm Talking about, please revisit my Let's Plays on the two games from last year.

And on Top of this, we got a look at the opening animation to the collection.




My God, this opening is Not only Squee-Worthy, but this near-6-minute clip set to "Beyond the Bounds" is by Far the Most Orgasmic game-related thing I have seen in quite some time.
Also:  Gratuitous fanservice.  Dammit, Japan, Why?
Regardless, I have no Doubt that ZOE HD  will Dethrone Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3 as the best Robot-Fighting-Action game on the Current Generation Consoles.  And that's saying a lot, as DWG3 is a good game, and this is essentially a graphically-updated re-release of a last Gen Game.

I really need to find a Jehuty Figure...

Webcomic Recap: El Goonish Shive

I've been reading Webcomics for a Loooong time.  I first discovered the medium around 2003, during a time when Television access was limited.  While many have died out or gone on extended hiatus's...Or happen to be created by sprites, the longest lasting I've followed just turned Ten Today.  Yeah, It's the Tenth anniversary of the creation of El Goonish Shive.
