[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

Radish?

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.

Radish?

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

Radish?

From gg:

THINGS WE LIKE DOING IN FANSUBBING

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

They always do it.

First time I've noticed 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:)

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
