Hot on the heels of the widely publicized Megaupload shut down last week by the United States Government, FileSonic has recently put on their website the following message:

All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled. Our service can only be used to upload and retrieve files that you have uploaded personally.

As we are all aware, those of us who do not use Torrents rely on such services like Megaupload and FileSonic for our Fan Subs. The conspiracy theories are running rampant – literally a DAY after major websites like Wikipedia and Google displayed their public protest of the contraversial SOPA and PIPA] bills in the Congress and Senate of the United States, Megaupload was shut down, and now days later, FileSonic basically makes their website worthless.

This makes the future of Fan Subs a little darker. What do you think of what’s going on? Discuss it all here (yes it’s political but we’re looking past that rule on our forums because this discussion effects everyone).

There are only a few episodes left in the fan-adored series Pirate Sentai Gokaiger and the show looks to be going out with a bang! Confirmed via his own blog, Kazuoki Takahashi (Shou/ChangeGryphon) will be appearing in an upcoming episode of Gokaiger. Also, Kihachiro Uemura (Dai/Green Flash, pictured) supposedly confirmed at Teruaki Ogawa’s charity event that he will also be showing up in Gokaiger.

Also rumored to appear is Ryou Narushima (Remi/Five Yellow), all in Episode 49.

In the words of the Gokaiger … let’s make a show of it!
