Eto Rangers

[adam808]

I added a character guide to my site, but have still been lazy about adding more pictures. 
Update: added pictures to the Character Guide, and replaced the Gallery pics with 640x480 full screenshots.
Here's a good screenshot of Neko no Seirei Shokora (Spirit of Cats, Chocolat):



By the way, I have both Eto Rangers soundtrack CDs for real now. Anyone for CD images? (*.nrg)
Update: APE+CUE is better, lossless compression that makes it smaller. I'll have to give them to someone soon.
I still need to get the singles of the OP and both EDs, as the 2nd ED is only on its single. Also there are c/w songs not seen elsewhere.

[adam808]

Sorry to have to reply to myself, but here's an update.
I added a Music section to the site with pictures of the CDs, mini-CDs, and tapes. I'm seriously thinking of uploading a torrent of the soundtracks in some form to Deadfrog, but I'll have to decide the format and prepare them. I still need to add Gallery pics and make a special Nyanma section.
If anyone has an Eto Rangers fan art they'd like on the site, I'd be happy to create a page for it. Or, fan fiction. And yes, this will be a paid-for site later. I'll have to start paying a few bucks a month for some more features and a real domain.
If anyone wants the disc images and scans of the Eto Ranger CDs, you'll probably have to contact me and get me to send them personally. I can't think of a place to host them right now.

I.ve just noticed tihis anime last week and frankly, I did not know such an anime even existed!!
I find this a big find on Youtube and, there really is very little web pages about it.
I am always interested in the Chinese Zodiac and it's out of the blue that ironicly the leader of this anime animal group is also my zodiac animal- The Rat.

There are similarities between this & SPC/KNT & other anime:

The rodent leader acts like and looks similiar to Speedy/Yattaro.
Cream the rabbit looks like Princess Vi, but more nicer. Bizarrely Cream is the name of another rabbit, but in the universe of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Draco the dragon shares looks, attitude & clothes with Piccolo of "Dragonball" fame. Even has his own "nimbus cloud".

Journeying to restore the balance of storybook worlds is strikingly similiar to the time-travelling cases of "Flint the Time Detective".

The sheep girl looks almost human.
The snake has invisible arms & legs.

So far, I've episodes 1 & 2. I seen bits of episodes 3 & 4.

One question though. What is the use of that box the rat leader always carry and how does it anyone he casts it upon?
Is it a evil spirit trap or revealer?

Someone please tell me. The episodes I've seen had no dubs.

Eto Rangers? How come I've never heard of this series before? And you say it's made by the same guys who did Pizza Cats? Wow. That's so cool! This is like discovering Hattori Hanzō had made another sword!

[adam808]

It is the Genmakyo mirror that flips open. He cries out "Jyarei Shouran!" which means evil-spirit reveal. Or he gets help by saying "Seirei Shoukan" followed by the name of the person, which means roughly spirit summon. It can also call Kirinda ("Daikourin Kirinda!") to get rid of the monsters ("Jyou-ka!" purification).

Yes, I laughed at how Drago is like Piccolo. He just needs to get that scowl and "hmmph" down.
Guess what Vi's favorite character is...
My astrological sign is also Rat. (Wood Rat, can't remember the yin or yang)
The show has no English dub, sorry. There were rumors that the fans overseas heard of one, but no proof. It was redubbed for several other countries, however. Korea was one, and the Phillipines.
Kirinda's talking eye speaks in ESE Kansai-ben.
My avatar is of Jyarei-O Nyanma "Queen of Evil Spirits, Nyanma" (aka Nyanma-sama)


^ My favorite character... (when will someone cosplay her?) ^

[cartoonking10749]

You're a wood rat? Same as me.

Anyway the more episodes I've seen, the better Ican now understand the plot.
I've now seen episodes 1-8, thanks to that miracle find, Youtube.

It would be good if someone attempted to fan dub it into english. That's getting in anime displayed on Youtube.

I'm going to have to fansub it I guess. Wish me luck. I need translators and an encoder, but I'll probably do the timing gruntwork hehe. I hope I don't regret getting into this. I think it is worth it, though.

It grew on me...rivals my SPC/KNT interest.

I admire your work ethic. The show is interesting enough that you're willing to fansub it??
Maybe I should watch it...

[Daisensei]

I wished to help if I could, but all my efforts are directed towards SPC/KNT. Good luck to you anyway.

[adam808]

Hey, I finally scanned the continuity w/drawings of Eto Rangers episode 37. (Won it on Yahoo! Japan Auctions)
Here's a MediaFire link for anyone who's interested in seeing production material from the show:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dn4okwnexd5
(14.6 MB compressed, 120 MB TIFs uncompressed) (black and white photocopy source, 116 pages of A4 size paper)
Told you I'd get around to it.

If you know someone that can translate, I can do most of the encoding/timing work (including fancy karaoke effects ). Although you might be able to convince Tsuneko to do the encoding (he's far better).

edit: I can also talk to my Shin-Getter friends, although they're quite stingy with their translating staff, they'll usually more than willing to do an easy joint for some added street cred.

Just recently, I've had a peek of the later episodes and there's a few things I don't get:

At the big race origin episode, why was Chocolat denied of any entry at the gates of the pole, long before any of the Eto Rangers even showed up? Is the zodiac choice of choosen warriors already been selected before this race began, because there's no cat in the zodiac (except in Korea)?

One of the four cat warriors, the red one, does she have some of the soul of Chocolat? If so, how's that possible if Nyanma had always been Chocolat?
This is getting confusing.

Is there any fanfiction of the series? I looked everywhere and although some site said they do exist, I still can't find any.

There are fanarts, but that's just about it.

It'll also be cool if a project went underway. Target: Translate Eto Rangers into english.

P.S. Is there any torrents or downloads of Eto Rangers music, especially the character singing ones availiable?

Spoiler Alert! - The vision of Aurahime was perpetrated by Jyarei Shin Bagi to cause her to cheat and start the race a few minutes early, therefore she was disqualified. She felt betrayed, thinking Aura did it to her cruelly. The Big Four cats were created from her energy so are part of her and have her memories. Jyuken is like a reflection of her as Chocolat, which is why she has Chocolat memories.

I hope people come to me with fanfics/fanart for my site.

Yeah, I want to fansub it but have no translator.

If you want I can work on putting a torrent of the soundtracks and liner scans up. You'd prefer romaji track titles and ID3 right? What bitrate? I was going to do 320 kbps.

Ah, thanks. Sorry about spilling the beans though
I was thinking os some Eto Rangers fanfics. WHEN MY COMPUTER BECOMES OPERTIONAL AGAIN, i MIGHT COME AROUND TO THESE..
Like I said, when computer is A-OK yet again (it's not at the moment), I'll also think about the torrents.
Computer's iffy until hopefully Wednesday.
Anyway, thanks for the clear-up mate.

[adam808]

I uploaded a torrent to Deadfrog, at http://www.deadfrog.us/index.php?act=entry&id=6871
320 Kbps mp3, with liner notes scans and an mp3 of ED2.
Enjoy

I know its a bit off-topic, but did someone mention 'flint the time detective'? Has anyone ever found somewhere I can download episodes of it by torrent or rapidshare? I have been looking for a long time.

[kiwisrgreen]

actually I'm trying to fan-sub this series so far I have 1 timer,  an encoder (me), editor  but I can't find a translator yet...

so far I've encoded the video and it looks much better.

look.

put mouse-over to see after encoding and take mouse off to see before.

[adam808]

Nice. I would help in any way I can. Let me know, because no one joined me. Whoever is good at rounding up people for an Eto Rangers fansub effort, that's great. I am not good at recruiting. I just posted an ad on animesuki in absence of anyone else trying to fansub it.

[lei-lei]

hello, i'm new here  sorry to say, but I haven't really watched SPC...though I want to  =(

Anyway, about Eto Rangers...I believe adam808 posted about the series being redubbed in the Philippines. It was, and I was one of the lucky little fools to still remember it. It was my childhood favorite! I love this anime. If anybody needs my help about this, I'll be glad to! Just e-mail me though!  XP

You might've noticed that Cream's name in my avatar is "Kelly". Wel...that's because it's her dubbed name here in the Philippines. I can give more info of the Filipino version of it if you want, even though it isn't really important XP AND There used to be an English site of this anime a few years ago, but it was now gone. =(

I know MOSTLY everything about Eto Rangers too, I'm proud to say...I just wished I knew how to understand Japanese so I can translate (I only know a few words)...

Well I can't really think of anything to say anymore!! ^^; hahhaha.....so just e-mail me, it's in my profile

Thank y'all!


P.S. I have fanarts of ER too. XD
