Silent Reading List #10
Entertainer Rating Check - 2021 Autumn SpecialI think this is another show that most people might not be aware we have. There are only three that have been translated. I won't go over too many spoilers because the whole thing is kind of an elimination journey, but I'll see if I can intrigue you by describing th...
TSL Wrapped
That's another year down. These numbers are a bit loose, but the main New Episodes count should be pretty close. 111 compared against last year's 134 (and 2021's ~74), very pleasing. That's like two new episodes a week.Back in September we lost MEGA. The tsl.chikichiki.tube solution seems to be working ...
Silent Reading List #9
WDT (2021-09-08) - Music Theory SpecialNothing to do with anything, except that it's one of my favorite episodes. This is a compilation of a bunch of musical theories, apparently inspired by a thing TBS does.The first theory is It's possible to create feel-good lyrics just by using the names of comedians. Names...
Silent Reading list #8
WDT (2016-07-06)I said I was going to try for a holiday-themed recommendation, and I think you'll agree that by a certain twisted logic, I certainly almost might have managed.I got to thinking about a Wednesday Downtown episode to suggest, because I haven't done one yet and it's certainly the show I've ...
We're Back
OK, I have like three HEYx3 clips and that Matsumoto/sasuke thing to put in, but then as far as I know I'm caught up (even on raws, nearly)!October was crazy but it took a lot of November to catch my breath. I'll dig around and get a holiday-themed recommendation post together this weekend and then we can all p...
Apologies/Delays
I don't know if there's anything more annoying than an "I'm just really busy irl guys" message, but I'm just really busy irl, guys.I know I'm behind on current releases, but those are actually all queued up and ready to go. I've been crunching and crunching with work, but I'll be don...
Silent Reading List #7
GnT (2011-08-14) #1067 - Heipo's Sleepover & GnT (2011-09-11) #1071 - Heipo's Camping TripSo, historically, I couldn't stand Heipo. I didn't care for his character—which to me felt very one-dimensional. "Oh gee I sure like women and oh gosh I sure am afraidof things!" was pretty much his range...
The Silent Reading List #5
OUGON DENSETSU - Michishige Sayumi & Akiyama of RobertThis is another long multi-parter (five), so I think I'll switch back to individual episodes for a while after this. This is nearly four hours of entertainment, so it is great value for money. It's also the only Ougon Densetsu we have in the library. All I k...
New File Hosting Solution (Test)
OK everyone, here we go! chikichiki.tube has been hard at work overhauling their own behind-the-scenes stuff, and also found the time to set up what we think could be a working file hosting solution. This is possible in no small part due to the people who donated to their SSD fund! Thanks folks, you're making a dif...
The State of The (Publicly Accessible) Library
Thanks everyone for your patience while the public files are inaccessible! We're still working on a setup (basically we have to do some amount of rolling it ourselves, there's not really anything turnkey), and I don't have a date for you yet, but it is happening. ヽ(´ー｀)ノFor the moment I'm holdi...
The Silent Reading List #4
DENPA SHOUNEN (1998) - Nasubi Prize Life Contest - Part 1DENPA SHOUNEN (1999) - Nasubi Prize Life Contest - Part 2Sorry, I stopped paying attention and missed Sunday. This is an extremely interesting example not just of Japanese television, but of Japanese television of this era (late '90s - early '00s).I'm...
The Silent Reading List #3
HAJIMETE NO OTSUKAI - 2018 Cute Overload SpecialThis is a long one, but I have so much time for Hajimete no Otsukai. I'll say it now: this is a fantastic choice if you're looking for something to show a person who doesn't usually watch Japanese TV.This show has been going since 1991, and even if you haven&#...

Knight Scoop (1998-07-31) - #1 A Beast in the AtticRight—anyone who knows me could've seen a Knight Scoop recommendation coming from a mile away. Here it is: the Knight Scoop recommendation.Knight Scoop (full title Tantei Knight Scoop 探偵!ナイトスクープ) is an Asahi Broadcasting Corp show that's bee...
Funding Goal Reached After... 14 Hours! ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
Welp, there we go! Someone dropped the full €600 on me, so we've already got enough to get both drives, still have the €300 banked for a rainy day/spare, and after one day the Patreon is pulling in €15/mo.I don't really know what to say! It's really incredible to be supported like this; it really make...
The Silent Reading List #1
Soko ga Shiritai - Heavenly Bath Houses of TokyoWith this first recommendation, I want to try and show you something you won't have seen before. Soko ga Shiritai (which I guess translates to something like "I want to know") was aired on TBS from '82 to '97; it's billed as "docu-tainment/info...
Initial Funding Goals
As of now, we have €306.00 in the pot! Since a donor is taking care of the €20.00 MEGA subscription fee every month, that means any money earned can get saved and put towards other things, which I am incredibly thankful for.The master copy of the library lives on a TrueNAS machine in my living room. The storage poo...
