And after some sort of hiatus, episode 5 is here. This is not a particularly fitting episode name as you'll have to wait until the preview to see what it's on about, but there you have it. Episode six should be cranked out over the weekend to round out the current monster battle.
Shouichi and Taiichi have good taste, it cannot be argued.
Episode 4 already out? Yeah really, grab it here.
There are people in the world who accept the word "henshin" in their subtitles due to its exposure in US media (primarily Viewtiful Joe, a relatively niche game) and some of the other Rider things before they were 90% kisama yatsu tachi. This episode gives a good reason not to accept it though: Mana asks Shouichi about how he transformed. If the subs were using Henshin, the options at this point would be for her to ask about how he "henshined" or to be inconsistent, neither of which is a good idea.
This episode also has much more of Shouichi's stupid sense of humor, and it sadly doesn't translate very well. They're pretty much invented from whole cloth here to get the basic idea of what was happening without relying on spelling out the Japanese language gags he was using. Because, after all, the only Japanese you should see is in the release is the group name, and we're sorry about that.
This took longer than we were hoping due to some personal issues. You'd think ripping and editing subs for a long done series would be faster than a release per week right? Okay, so this isn't a full seven days later but still. The timing team is getting a whip put to them to speed up the more tedious bits for the editors.
Masked Rider Agito - Episode 3 - My Transformation
Wherein the other word the brainwashed masses have acquiesced to appears. Remember, the only Japanese you'll see is the group name, and we're sorry for that.
