Yes, we are translating and releasing all the side segments from the licensed challenge episodes. This includes the industry interview portions not included in TV-Nihon's early ep releases.

I don't check the thread for a few days and I miss a TGS middle-man merch exchange! Drat! Oh well, maybe next TGS. Unless we get some shirts in the West...Whilst farting I posted:Here's a "what's that song" question: during Zombie Nation, when the title with Arino's face flying around as the head of the game appears after other segments, what is that? It sounds like Somewhere Over The Rainbow with horns, but I can't find that specific version of it. Better late than never? Mister Chief posted:What's the deal with that kid getting his head shaved as punishment in Satoshi Tajiri's anecdote? I've actually seen this somewhere before...

So this popped up on my Tumblr tag searches, and I figured some of you might get a kick out of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOcatbrQ5iw Paris-Dekar made into a shooter game in the old SNES shooter maker Dezaemon.

Can anyone tell if that white kid is actually speaking Japanese? I wonder how many army brats actually had Japanese as a dual first language.

It's been a while since I've seen the Japanese dub, but I think he is. Gamera movies have a tradition where one of the kids is American(-ish). See, Gamera is friend to ALL the children. All Asian and white kids are enough for Gamera.

Cambodia is one of those places where I know what it is when someone mentions it, but if you asked me to make a list of Asian countries from memory, I would never come up with it.

Well, Cambodia just isn't on many Westerner's radars. Like, I'm aware of Pol Pot and the killing fields, and Nixon's illegal firebombings, but aside from that, it's just sort of a country that's in the southern area, I believe next to Vietnam.

I know of it mostly because Anthony Bourdain visited Cambodia in No Reservations, it was a very good episode though obviously not very cheerful. Looking forward to the special though.

Is that outfit he wears something that Japanese employees actually have to wear at any job? Or just something suitably crappy and horrible because that's just how they roll? I was reflecting that he manages to make even an Asian temple background look completely terrible because that outfit is so drat ugly

Is there any other place we can grab the torrents while Alluvion is down? I'm trying to download the episodes I've missed, and depositfiles.com is just awful.

Until whatever tchotchke I'd ordered arrived, the act of checking the mail inspired that same kind of anticipatory joy that any and all childhood holidays brought. All of this to say: thanks, Chococat, for letting me recapture that magic. Is it too early to start checking the mailbox?

You can just do it the modern way and F5 your tracking page repeatedly. Caitlin, I got your payment and yours went out with today's shipment. So did Vincolo and DiscoJ's orders.

Also, it's good to know that goons found another way to support the show directly. I wouldn't have even known to check in the thread if I hadn't seen all the new posts and made the assumption that an episode had just dropped, so I feel pretty lucky.
