**Himitsu Sentai Gorenger - Episode 1: The Crimson Sun! The Invincible Gorengers** **Source:** Blu-Ray **Resolution:** 1080p **Subtitles:** Rampage (Re-sampled to 1440x1080, removed karaoke and re-timed some signs) ### Notes The goal of this release is to have a good-looking, transparent encode of the Blu-Ray, with a few extras. The video was color-corrected, as the source had a yellow/greenish tint to it (Probably due to aging of the original material, which wasn't corrected by the studio prior to release). Color correction was made by cropping a white/grey part of the opening logo (Confirmed as being white in official material) and adjusting the U and V components of the frame manually to align the various colors on an RGB Parade. The Y component was then adjusted by looking at a blank frame between episodes on the Blu-ray. Further restoration was applied to the left and right edges of every frame, to fix dirty lines. This should be the cleanest and best-looking version of Gorenger around right now. The image quality on the Blu-Ray is quite variable and mediocre, but given the low budget and age, it's understandable. The audio was simply encoded from PCM to Flac and is otherwise untouched. Note that the quality is mediocre, but that's 70s Japanese television for you... ### Previews https://ptpimg.me/25a965.jpg https://ptpimg.me/g7h982.jpg https://ptpimg.me/r8h0hn.jpg https://ptpimg.me/28vgab.jpg https://ptpimg.me/mwptb2.jpg https://ptpimg.me/jx9980.jpg https://ptpimg.me/18il81.jpg https://ptpimg.me/ksmvfm.jpg https://ptpimg.me/ei27sn.jpg https://ptpimg.me/4v2781.jpg ### Misc I currently have a proper source for episodes 1 through 16. These will be posted sporadically as I get to them. If/when I get access to volumes 4-15 of the Blu-ray, the other episodes will follow. This release is quite a bit bigger than what you typically find for tokusatsu. I didn't want to sacrifice grain and resolution for a little bit of space, and a good quality encode is more future-proof anyway. If you're looking for a smaller file or a 720p version, I am sorry to say that you will have to look elsewhere.
