@Radish

Cheers.

anyone excited like me that Astro Boy finally hit theaters. It looks decent. Like an actual good remake. Id like to take a look at the remake of The Three Musketeers also.

It's been Hollywood-ized! It looks fun but the ad highlights the significant cultural changes Astro Boy went through to appeal to the Western market. It looks like it will follow the same line as "The Incredibles".

To sum it all up:

"I got machine guns in my butt!?"

Just saw CENCOROLL an hour ago. I really enjoyed it! It kinda hat that BONES feeling throughout the anime, though BONES didn't make it. Atsuya Uki did an amazing job on it. I really hope the ending was a prelude to another CENCOROLL anime :D

Absolutely horrific:

I'm happy that Hollywood is taking these masterpieces so it can appeal to the Western audience. However, it always seems that they dumb down the characters significantly by turning them into two dimensional personalities. An example is Astro Boy that was mentioned a few posts above. Can you imagine what Motoko and Batou will be reduced to in the Hollywood live action remake?

To be fair, it's only disturbing because we know the intelligence gone into making these influential artworks. To people who have never seen or have a negative reaction to comics since they think it's only for children, the live action remakes can potentially serve as gateways to Masamune Shirow's and other anime/manga authors' works.

Hasn't the anime series ended?

Nope, SHAFT animated up to 15 episodes but the TV scheduling block only allowed 12 episodes to be aired. The remaining three episodes will be streamed online but it seems they are getting postponed because of production issues.

yeah, unless everybody gains superpowers or something i don't see how they can defeat theyre current enemy

I'm more interested in finding what happens to Caska.

It looks like that anime is headed to become a cult classic like Suzumiya. I'll wait 'till all the episodes are aired before I jump on it.

Bleach 244 is out. Kenpachi time!

after watching it, pretty good. The fight was not as epic as I was hoping, but hopefully it just started. I loved the ending, where they mention if kenpachi's sword materialized, it would instantly destroy all of soul society lol.

Maybe this is a hint that they'll never show Kenpachi release his Zanpuktou :rolleyes:

Na, its something that makes Kenpachi who he is. If he found his bankia, he would be invincible most likely. He's a unique character, and I would hate for them to ruin him by showing some Bankai that doesn't live up to our expectations.

These are the best filler episodes to date, for any anime I have seen. Side stories about characters we wont see again are horrible, but stories that involve main elements of the story and characters, thats the way to go it looks like.

Bakemonogatari is still on top form with the online episodes (Y) Senjougahara made me laugh when she imitated Araragi's voice with her seiyu which sounded nothing like him, poor Hachikuji getting manhandled by Araragi and tense moments between Hanekawa and Araragi as she becomes a cat :laugh:

Preview of Katanagatari at the end of the episode as well.

    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only.

      Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.
