what do you mean shoddy camera work that was some of the best racing shots ever.

Freeze-framing, speeding up shots and to top it off, bad CG (N) I'll stick with the anime.

are there any sequels or any other content from Vexille or the universe it takes place in.

we must have been watching different movies because it was pretty much top notch an awesome follow on from freeway speedway.

Freeway Speedway is in a different class for me compared to the Initial D film, the action is raw and keeps you on the edge of your seat with the stunts. The Initial D film feels very watered-down in terms of character development and action compared to the anime, granted it's condensed into a film but still.

Was watching Kuchu Buranko and I saw this small advert that I'm thinking [gg] left in for the lulz :laugh:

THINGS WE LIKE DOING IN FANSUBBING

- Leaving in advertisements (To promote buying merchandise to support the anime industry? or something)

They always do it.

That's the least that they can do since fansub groups essentially take raw copyrighted videos from Japan and add subs to them. ;)

Hurray for unlicensed anime! (and the dark sides of the interwebs :devil:)

Watching Grave of the Fireflies for the first time and I'm realizing that I won't be feeling good for the next few days... **** war.

Would that do anything for them since 90% of people who download them can't buy anything in Japan anyways really?

All I can say about the matter is that I'm amazed at what lengths fansub groups go to for providing subtitles to a Japanese animated tv series. The time and effort required makes me wonder what these guys do in the offline world and how they feel about it personally.

However, as a consumer, I definitely am not complaining at the availability and convenience of the fansub groups' works.

I found a interesting link to a website dedicated to the history of fansubbing.

well most of them still go to school/college most of the time and rest is spent bitching in IRC.

Indeed, one of those masterpieces that can only be watched once to be burned into your memory.

From something I remember, it technically isn't illegal so long as you plan on purchasing them IF they come to the united states (and the fact that anime is a rip of the broadcast usually, so it is really no different than distributing a home recording). Downloading anime only becomes illegal when it becomes licensed in your country for production.

yeah back in the old days most if not all subbing groups would drop shows when they got licensed im not too sure of the ethical code of groups these days but there is a messy clause which makes it ok to sub unlicensed shows up till they are at least there was.

also you can support the show without buying the original DVD/blu-ray even if the show isn't out in your country and that's via the second market.

K-ON! Second Season Confirmed

Hope it's an ounce more meatier than the first season i liked/enjoyed the first but just didn't stick in my head like i wanted it to.

[RadishTM Veteran]

[Azusa]

Ladies Vs Butlers I can#'t wait for this one to start airing!

[deletedxyz]

Boogiepop Phantom is one messed up anime. It's quite good being a psychological horror show but its narration for each story is getting quite annoying and boring. Hopefully the next few episodes will make everything better.

[Azusa]

^seeing as it's only 12 eps ill get it watched by monday i have been meaning to watch it for a while now and i must also get betterman watched

And it seems im still waiting for ?115 worth of figures to arrive...

[deletedxyz]

I just tried watching K-ON! due to its popularity and ratings it received then proceeded to permanently delete it from my hard drive. Fan service ("cutesy voices and clumsiness) and lolicon (female middle school students with plenty of "interest shots" of body parts when they fall over accidentally) galoooooore. No, I do not want to know what female middle school students do and act like. One of the most annoying things about anime in general is when a tv series gets a mature vocie actor to act out animals and small children. It's quite creepy.
