10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Orphan presents episodes the final three of Tezuka Osamu’s 1993 sci-fi OVA series *Magma Taishi* (*Ambassador Magma*). Drawing for inspiration on the master’s 1960’s manga and tokustatsu (live-action special effects) TV series, the show postulates an ageless conflict between Goa, evil Emperor of the Cosmos, and the spirit of the Earth (confusingly called Earth) for control of our planet. In these three episodes, after a side journey to a "pocket dimension" from a past era, complete with dinos:

Magma continues to battle it out with Udo:
But the decisive intervention comes out of left field, providing a total jump-the-shark denoument. For more details, see [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2025/07/magma-taishi-ep-11-13.html).
Encoded from R2J DVDs. FLAC audio. There’s an English dub and a signs-only track to go with it. This set of episodes includes the non-credit OP and ED.
This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
There will be a batch torrent in a few days, and there are some changes, so please don't upload an "informal batch" elsewhere quite yet.
