An otaku gal of media!

@otakumediagal / otakumediagal.tumblr.com

Forget the long, here's the short of it...

I am going through A LOT of personal stuff. Not just emotional processing alone, but also actual things that need to be done. Family member's health in jeperody (Florida health care system is run and employed by a ruling majority of bricks), home repairs which results in a lot of packing needed, emotional drains and strains, lots of crying, not to mention lost sleep, copyright takedown notices, and way too much falling a part right now.

My frustration is not meant or directed towards anybody who comes here as fellow seiyuu media fans. On the contrary. Everybody I've interacted here has been amazing. I feel guilty for abandoning everybody here and leaving nothing, but a silent void of dead links and no explanation in return.

So now I'll attempt to take responsibility.

I'm going through a lot. I've received takedown notices for just about everything I've posted here. I don't have the time nor the mental capacity to figure out how to move forward in regards to files. For now everything will remain as is (though I may disable Asks).

I will return in time. I really need to focus on my life and getting not just my external problems in order, but also my emotional problems. Everything has taken its toll on me and I'm trying.

I won't be looking at tumblr for a while. I can't. Not right now. I need to focus. I hope everybody can understand.

For now, as mentioned, links and pages will stay as they are. I'll come back when I am able to. I'm sorry. Please forgive my selfishness and I promise to come back and bring life back to my page.

For now, until we meet again and please forgive me.

Hello!! Thank you so much for sharing your videos!!! I'm just curious though... where or how are you able to watch these live stream?? And do you know how to download videos from nico nico? Thank you!

I'm happy I was able to share them and especially happy that others can enjoy them!! The site I watched OreIya from was http://mcas.jp which lets me watch select Tokyo MX shows. Since the stream is region locked to Japan you’ll probably need a VPN connection. Most of the really good VPN services/applications are paid, but http://www.vpngate.net/en/ is free and works for exactly what it needs to do. How it works is you start up the VPN and establish your connection then the site "thinks" you’re accessing from whatever country you selected. It works on most sites. ;3 That’s how I got the streams to play on the site.

Downloading nico nico can either be the easiest thing ever or the most tricky! If you're just downloading a basic uploaded video (i.e. not a live stream a.k.a. "niconama") then the easiest way would be to use applications like JDownloader 2 which parses and downloads the video after copying the video's url and pasting into the the application. I use JDownloader 2 a lot for all kinds of files and links. Another more direct way is to, on the video's page, open the Developer Tools in whatever browser you use, click the Network tab, and search/filter for "smile". You may need to refresh the page with the Network pane open for it to show up. The url you want to download is the one that looks something like "smile?m=" followed by a series of numbers. Just open the link in a new tab and save it like any other direct media file. ;)

If you're talking about niconama or live stream events that's a bit harder and requires a lot of steps and explanation to set up. Also, it's Windows-only and requires a vpn. I don't mind sharing how to download them, but it'd take a while to type up. ^^

Hope that helps and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask! I'm slow replying coz of RL, but I'm happy to help if I'm able to! XD

I'm the same anon before about the episode 01 link doesn't work. I want to say thank you but it seems episode 09 link doesn't work either O_O

Yeah, when I updated the links tumblr broke my html formating somehow (so weird) and I can’t figure out why. My html was solid. Anyway, the links for episode 1 and 9 should be fixed. If they’re still broken (i.e. tumblr messed up again coz I tried to make sure I added them properly this time) please let me know. :) I’m happy to fix them as many times as needed. ^^

Anonymous asked:

thank you for uploading sukoboku!! and im wondering why is the link to episode 9 isnt working?

Sorry about that. I can’t explain how, but initially when I added the link tumblr broke the format and thus the link didn’t work. It should be fixed now. If you still have problems please let me know. ^^

I live...!!! ヾ(꒪□ ꒪」∠)_

Ah ha ha ha... Okay. As usual my real life gets in the way of my fun online life and hobbies. I’ll be replying to asks and messages slowly, but surely. If you don’t hear from me after a while (you can decide when it’s been too long after I post this) then please feel free to send your ask/message again. I promise I don’t bite and I’m unusually positive so no need to be cautious around me! X3

Aside from all my “Blah blah blah...” Let's get on to some fun info!! XD

All episodes of OreIya and SukoBoku have been added and broken links (should be) fixed!

All remaining episodes of OreIya and SukoBoku are uploaded and added to their respective master list pages! (OreIya Master List & SukoBoku Master List) I’ll also make a separate post stating this shortly in case it gets lost in all my words. I write too much. ^^;; To the kind Anons who let me know about broken links those links should be fixed. Just to be safe I’ll be refreshing all the links gradually and triple-checking every last link. I cannot stand there being broken links and I’m sorry for that. ^^;;

1080p videos for past shows in the future!

If anybody is like me then seiyuu in HD are a must! I'll be focusing on OreIya Season 1 first, then OreIya Season 2, followed by SukoBoku, and lastly Tokyo Otome Restaurant. Don't expect them in the next few weeks...or months... I've still got to download all the 1080p episodes, clip commercials, and do all kinds of encoding that my poor little hand-me-down laptop (which is all I got right now) can barely handle. That's 65 files with a total of 65.27Gb not including the clipped segments in separate video files and the fully merged episodes. Whew! I hope that by the end of the year to borrow some more computer muscle, but for now my little laptop-kun is all I got. (Pats and gently says, "Hang in there, little guy." as the fan whirs like crazy.) I'm also eying a blu-ray drive and saving up. Gotta make some hard copy backups of all this. ;3

Updating existing information, links, etc.

I'm doing an overhaul of the Master List pages for all shows. As I hinted earlier I’m going to refresh all the links to make sure they're all working properly while adding 1080p versions of all the episodes. I'll also update with any new/missing/additional information. This depends greatly on how much free time I get. Hopefully this'll help make things cleaner and provide just a touch of more info! X3

That's all I'll be working on in the next few (several?) months (maybe 'til the end of the year?). Lots going on in RL so it'll probably be very, very slow goings. Really, my life is so crazy I'm barely getting sleep. That won't stop me though. I may slow down and vanish for a while, but I'll keep going and never give up! Keep an eye out for those updates!

Anonymous asked:

Hello! Thank you for uploading the Oretachidatte Iyasaretai episodes! I wonder though do you have the DVD tokutens (I think they are) that has Saito Soma in it? I think the last episode of season 1 mentioned there'll be 4 parts of that?

Ahhh, the rare Soma extras! ^^ I was asked before by another Anon so I hope they see this too… Okay, here goes. Short version is that I don’t have the Soma extras right now, but if I did I would be more than happy to upload them. Sadly though, I can’t really plan on uploading them any time soon… I really wish I could… I’ve been looking for them on and off since season 1 was fully released on DVD. ==;;

The only way I can upload and share any of those extras would be if somebody else uploaded them online and I linked/mirrored them (with permission or from a public source) or if I were to purchase the special editions of the DVDs and rip the extras myself. I have the know-how and means to rip them if I had the actual discs, but just I can’t afford the DVDs… My income is extremely (read as: “painfully”) limited. I have to choose my fun items carefully… I’m only able to share OreIya because I can capture the broadcast’s stream online. ==;; Basically, I can download/record most media online as long as it’s streaming online, don’t require a paid account, and isn’t protected by some kind of encryption (unless I screen record). Really, most free media online is not safe from me. XP

But I’m super stubborn and will keep searching for them! If I do find them I will provide any links and info for people to watch and/or download the extras! I may not be able to provide them myself, but I will do my best to find them! There are things I’ve been looking for for years and haven’t given up yet so you can bet I’ll keep looking for these too. XP

I’m really sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer. Just keep checking the master list page and the tag coz if I find them any links and info will certainly be added there! ^^;;

Mega Release!! All current episodes added!!

OreIya Master List SukoBoku Master List

Finally everything is done uploading! Took my computer long enough to encode everything, my internet long enough to upload everything, and my life to give me enough time to work on everything! XP All episodes of Oreiya and Sukoboku are caught up and ready for downloading!! Since there are soooo many I suggest going to the Master List page for each series. Oreiya HERE and Sukoboku HERE. That’s much easier than creating individual posts for each episode imho. ^^;;

Something to note: Hahaha... (wry laugher) I made a mistake in my previous post as I got my numbers and dates messed up. ~~(I’m so absent minded and scatterbrained.)~~ I failed to record/download 720p versions of Sukoboku episodes 3 and 6; not 3, 6, and 7. I found low quality versions elsewhere online for 3 and 6. I’ve included those to keep the master list complete, but they are not my files. I don’t know who to credit for them coz they’ve been re-uploaded so many times I don’t know who the original uploader is. If I find better quality versions I’ll replace my files and credit the proper person.

Anyway, all the episodes are all caught up to the most recent!! Enjoy, minasan!!!

Anonymous asked:

Do you record the Oreiya episodes yourself? I wanted to try asking if you have any Kiramune Company download links since the Chinese websites that have them sometimes put passwords that are impossible to figure out so...

Ahhh... The hard to find Kiramune Company... I've been looking for that forever... Basically, since it's not streaming online without a subscription I can't really get it for download/upload/record. From what I can gather it does stream online, but requires a paid subscription of some kind. Likely the Chinese users/sites are able to record the actual tv channel or have access to the online content. A totally different situation from OreIya where I was lucky enough to be able to capture the stream from http://mcas.jp without the need to pay for a subscription of some sort. The video I upload for OreIya is lesser than if I recorded off the tv or had a different streaming source, but it’s the best I can get right now. ^^;;

I can totally relate to the pain of Chinese passwords. I understand that they are protecting their files, but sometimes the passwords are impossible or worse you can't get the password without paying for access to the password. I've been known to spend hours staring at them trying to figure them out.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you. If I find a good source or if somebody knows when and where Kiramune Company is streaming online for free (even if they're like live streams at specific times and/or region-blocked) feel free to send me the info and I'll see what I can do. If I can't capture the raw video like I do with OreIya I can at least screen record it. ^^ Then I can share it for everybody to enjoy!!

oneflowerstory asked:

Hello! Thank you SO MUCH for uploading OreIya! This show is so good even my mum enjoyed watching it with me ^^ I wanted to ask about next episodes, do you plan on uploading them or they're impossible to find? Thanks again!!

Ah! What timing! Within the next few hours I’ll have so much OreIya and SukoBoku available! You’ll have plenty to enjoy watching with your mum! I’ve been uber-busy (you’ve no idea), but I have the next few hours free for updating so-- Soon! I promise!

(๑•̀ㅂ•́)b✧

And once again I’ve dropped off the map only to return again after…how long this time…?

I’m soooooo sorry, everybody. Things are absolutely bonkers around here in RL and I’m exhausted. BUT-- That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel like you can’t send asks or messages. In fact I have some asks and messages I’m going to reply to! I promise I will reply…! It just might take me a super long time to respond. I have no way to predict my schedule and sometimes don’t have time to check my emails… Like even on my phone which recently has been having battery trouble… I’m due for a new phone anyways. I mean, I’m still using an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.x! I’m due for a new phone…

Here’s a quick update on media type stuff:

I have been recording/downloading/editing Sukoboku and Oreiya right along in 720p, but sadly I did miss a few episodes of Sukoboku with all the crazy going on. Episodes 3, 6, and 7 to be precise. I’m on the hunt for them and managed to find them in watchable quality (slightly upscaled 480p), but they’re not 720p. I’ll include all those links when I get around to updating all the links and posting the files. I’ll also keep looking for HD versions, but I’m not having much luck so far…

I’m working on some other nerd stuff outside of what I post on tumblr, but those projects aren’t seiyuu related. Some are anime/seiyuu related and most are just old cartoons. XP Those are taking up a lot of my time too...

Right then! I shall get cracking and hopefully have some media for everybody to enjoy!

Hi Is there any way to access and watch fuji tv's free online content Manga wa sekai wo sukuu if I don't live in Japan? It's a new show, and the first episode features shimazaki nobunaga....

Zakki-san!! ♡

The player on the site is indeed region-locked, but there’s a way! ;3 I suggest using SoftEther to create a VPN connection on your computer. This will allow you to change your IP address into a Japanese one fooling the site into thinking you’re accessing from a Japanese computer/device. It’s easy to install and pretty easy to figure out (if you do run into issues try looking here first). That way you can watch the video without any errors or worries.

For those who are just reading this not sure what Anon-san is asking about you can check it out here.

Nishiyama Koutarou no Sukoyakana Bokura

Episode 1

"I want to let you be the main personality.” “Ehh! Ehh! Ehh!”

This time Kou-chan is the main personality of his own spin-off show!! His first guest is Eguchi and they enjoy some delicious looking food at an organic café. Wheatgrass shot, vege keemacurry (looks super yummy!), and a talk section where I really wish I knew what they were saying in full! So much laughing! Uwahh, the pains of not knowing enough Japanese. ><;;

Whether or not you understand Japanese please enjoy these two fellows eating, chatting, laughing and having fun!!
