Digitizing the Ronin Warriors dub

August 14, 2021 by Christine Cooney

A Twitter thread about digitizing the Ronin Warriors dub from the master D2 tape decks.

Many thanks to Talisman for posting this to the fandom discord.

OK, I'm back from #TheSuicideSquad (great movie, by the way). Let's talk about this Ronin Warriors. Big shout out to our friends at Williams Street for this one. As far as anyone could tell, Cartoon Network were the only ones with the masters in their vault. https://t.co/TvmGXvE1EF pic.twitter.com/nZPdNC43h7

And trying to sync the tracks to the footage:

Still amazed that my Ronin Warriors spreadsheet with my slow descent into insanity and dumb jokes (I was dealing with a cold at the time I was working on RW and not exactly the most cognisant) made it to freakin' Otakon (i feel seen)

And this part of the thread I found quite interesting:

Episode 2 was the pilot. Episodes were slowed down for the dub due to cutting down the opening, next episode, and recaps.

Ryo’s character in Langrisser

August 5, 2021July 29, 2021 by Christine Cooney

Got Ryo TWICE after SEVERAL “pulls” of 10 summons. (Yes you can ‘win’ a character in the game that you already have. I think the additional character is exchanged for points you can use for leveling up??? But don’t quote me on that.)

More screenshots below.

Hi everyone!
June is around the corner and we’re doing the Boys of Summer Challenge again.
Originally, the challenge was to draw one piece of fanart every day for the month of June. And you can still do that, if that’s the challenge you want, but it has now evolved in hopes that more fans feel included and will participate.
The goal of the challenge is just to generate more YST/RW fanworks in June for all of us to enjoy, be it 1 or 30. Here are the guidelines:
1. ANY type of fan work is welcome: art, fics, drabbles, memes, screen cap edits, whatever you want.
2. You choose your challenge. If you want to try for one a day, go for it. If you don’t think you can do more than two a week, then make that your goal. We are all busy, so you set a goal that is something you can accomplish with your schedule.
3. Have fun! And please join us in the Samurai Reflections discord to see what everyone else has cooked up: https://discord.gg/PqQfdqV
You can also post on Tumblr with the #BOS hashtag.
Looking forward to seeing everyone participating!
