Kyojin no Hoshi Videos

[Tony Junior]

Here are four videos of Kyojin no Hoshi or Baseball. There is a little overlap in one of the videos, sorry for that. Maybe someday I'll learn just how to edit these things.
As I usually do, I give a short description in the link with total time at the end of each.
I like to show as much of a machine as I can, in the hope it will show enough for you to make a decision if you might want to get one someday, which is why my videos are so long.
Again, I ask for your input if I am wrong in my thinking, or if my videos are too long!
1. Intro to Kyojin no Hoshi 1:06
2. All 5 reels spin for the first time 7:11
3. Just play until Mystery Music 5:37
4. Bonus Round and end 6:58

I just watched them all and I really enjoyed them! That's quite the teaser with those two end reels going backwards etc.

Nice stuff Tony and your quality is real good. Especially the color!!

You're making me look bad. I still haven't made a single movie of any of my machines. *sigh*

Anybody have an extra few hours in the day they can donate? I need more than 24.

I loved the mystery music! That's a pretty sweet machine. Now the guy who is on the left in the first few vids, is he an umpire?

That guy is a big question mark. He is not dressed as an umpire, more just an irate fan! When you do see the umpire, there is no mistaking it.
I also don't understand the girl under the tree!

JapNoodle? Gaku? Anybody?

[Tony Junior]

cmk, not trying to make you look bad at all! (And I know you're really kidding.)

These videos have been taking me about a week from shoot to post! Remember, I don't know what I'm doing either!

[MrGneiss]

Those 5 reals are pretty cool.

I really appreciate all your videos.

Every time I watch your videos I seem to find another pachi I want that I probably wouldn't have even considered before. Thanks

[Tony Junior]

Thanks, MrG! Uh oh, I'm found out! I'm really a secret salesman for pachis!

Really, to me the videos are a great way to decide if I want a machine. I mentioned before that Milt and Eric's videos have sold me on several machines!

[Tulsa]

So you're secretly working for the Japanese Union and Doo is working for Apple? Is there subliminal messages in the vids TJ?

[Tony Junior]

Subliminal messages? I can't even edit good.

Giants'-Star.jpg
Kyojin no Hoshi is popular comic (and TV) at around 1970 in japan.
'Kyojin' is team name (also called Giants).
'Hoshi' has two meanings in this animation. one is hero's last name and another is star.
Father Ittetsu coaches his son very strictly.
Akiko keeps an eye on father and brother under tree.
i don't read that book, but many japanese have these image.
Ittetsu on left reel is shouting 'Hyuma' (son's first name)

[Tulsa]

Well the father seems like a real timid fellow.

[Tony Junior]

Many thanks, JapNoodle!

Father Ittetsu coaches his son very strictly.

Sounds like some Babe Ruth League dads in this country.

Tulsa, I had sent a PM to JapNoodle and asked him if he could translate some of the speech in Baseball. I wondered about that guy you had asked about.

does any one know where i can get a manual for one of these no hoshi machines?

[JamesM]

I'm not able to see them I'll try it without peerblock on.

well this thread is originally from 2005, it's possible the links are now dead??
