hey Radish, love your new sig :)

Thanks :)

Finished watching the two Nasu OVA's and I loved the second OVA much more than the first. Great relationships within the cycling team, nice dose of humour and awesome drive/teamwork with loads of tension! (Y)

Character design/scenery reminded me of Ghibli's work but it was actually produced by Madhouse :p

Radish?

FAKKU YEAH!!1!eleven!

I can't wait for cycling/running season to start!

(note from excitement: nasu is probably the best sports anime movie. Beautiful women, depiction of cycling techniques such as quick breathing and drafting, and AMAZING sprinting finish. What is there not to like?!)

^ would you happen to know an anim? that is based on Football? (IE the game you play with your foot)

Captain Tsubasa. (The first anime I ever saw when I was a kid.)

Moero! Top striker

Wild Striker

However, there's nothing that can touch cycling when it comes to sports anime apart from martial arts. Soccer is getting more popular since Japan have consistently qualified for the World Cup. They're a decent team too but they're in a very tough group. Netherlands certainly is going to claim first while the second wild card going to Cameroon. It could be a surprise win for Japan though depending on how they do.

I agress (although I've only watched one cycling anime). I watched Over Drive and simply loved it. Any recommendations for other anime like over drive? :D

Nasu. The huge screenshot is of that. Just click on the image to get more information. You might want to check out Prince of Tennis to check if its your cup of tea. To me, it was like a group of models posing for girls and exaggerating each shot. Think Captain Tsubasa (exaggerated 1 minute windups before taking a shot at goal or even pass) but in tennis.

There are only two anime that match Over Drive and that's Nasu and Slam Dunk (I read the manga instead of watching the cheap animation).

Slam Dunk is a must read/watch if you love GTO and/or its prequels.

Nice sig, Radish. Is Yumi-chan rubbing off on you? :p

And just what's wrong with J-Trance?

I like J-Trance (well, some) but I can't stand these J-pop songs that open for some anime shows that feature squirrel voices and fast beats. It's as if Crazy Frog or chipmunks were back in style. >_<

I raise your Black Heaven song with real Japanese death metal.

:| They ruined the song! It's one of the most beautiful singing voices I've heard in years and now it's reduced to a bunch of trash cans being bashed together. >_< Chikusho, my ears are bleeding! HIGH FREQUENCY IS HIGH!

What that mix is pure class.

also the best thing to come from the sharpnel team

Hell no but those light brown eyes are totally mesmerising :wub: :p

Never get bored of DJ Jinnai's remixes.

Radish?

On the topic of OP/EDs, I always found Elfen Lied's ED to be an interesting choice. It was a bit out of place with the series. You'd have a whole slew of people murdered in an episode and have a really depressing episode and then suddenly it would break out into this really upbeat song...

Also it sounded a hell of alot like:

I raise your Black Heaven song with real Japanese death metal.

You did not just call Maximum The Hormone "real Japanese death metal" because their music is far away from death metal :p

On a side note: has anyone started watching Durarara yet? I'm gonna watch the first episode today :)

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • 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.

    • 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.
