OOOOO the new anime is out???? going to download this right now and watch it during my lunch :)

Yep it is and you should definitely watch it! Oh and check your PM too ;)

I wonder if they'll do a double episode for the Naruto Vs Pain fight?

As the manga readers will know that the fight is pretty epic, almost rivals the Naruto Vs Sasuke battle in the original Naruto.

Sadly they won't. According to AnimeCalendar they don't have any double episodes lined up for the coming month :cry: It sure would've been awesome if they had though :yes:

OMFG! That episode of Naruto had to be one of the best rushes I've felt since the gara vs rock lee fight. Just amazing! I'm going to be in a total craze until i see the next one. Loved Naruto's entrance and the buildup to the Final Push.

Thanks for that link rustix. They seem to release theirs the same time as Horriblesubs as well, but always good to have other options when one is running late. Just like with Onemanga and BleachExile.

Sadly they won't. According to AnimeCalendar they don't have any double episodes lined up for the coming month :cry: It sure would've been awesome if they had though :yes:

That's too sad. They wasted all their doubles for before the Pain fight lol. This fight really should be a double at least. Hell, this could be a movie and rule. Might just try holding off for a month and watching the whole fight back to back, but I doubt I'll have the will power to abstain from it that long lol.

I know I certain won't be able stay for that long.. I'm already too eager to watch the next episode :pinch:

No kidding. This was an epic part of the manga, and seeing it already animated this much lets me know it will be just as epic in animation. Sage Naruto looks so awesome, I wish he would stick with that outfit for the rest of the series. Show some mad respect for Jeriah.

Well it is a shounen animé so it's meant to generally appeal to 10 to 18 year olds not 20+.

I have to agree.

Generally there is only a few shows that both appeal to the teenager as well as the adult. Recently re-watched Ergo Proxy, it was Kingdom of Heaven Tier, not God Tier, and not Tier of the Tao.

Re-watched 1.11 today, (3rd or 4th time I think)

The bad,

1. For some reason Shinji's music player has not been updated

2. Product Advertisement, for a few scenes.

3. I think the bathing sounds (Misato) were a bit loud.

4. Lines sometimes are bit thick for 1080p. It wouldn't stand out as much if it was consistent.

The good,

1. It truly was made for High Definition. It looks amazing in 1080p. The detail level is unbelievable.

2. Everything else?

Now, unto 2.22...

Unless I feel overpowered by how much I hate/like NGE after a rewatch, I'm holding out on the entire Rebuild of Evangelion series until 4.0 comes out on Blu Ray, which would be around late 2011 or early 2012.

I have to agree.

Well, I still can appreciate One Piece ... Nevermind, I just realized that the only thing that made appreciate One Piece was that it was very close to Fullmetal Alchemist in terms of restricting the child heroes to their roles and ensure that the 20+ year old characters are the ones in charge. When I think about it, almost all of the anime series I rated a 10+ have an older figure being more powerful than the child hero. XD

I am guessing that would be 8 hours of ROE. Then the special features.

Hopefully there will be a 1080p remaster of the directors cut of the original, death^2 true, and EOE before 2012 - you know, to fill the time.

Anyway I watched ROE 2.22 and have to say this is where it diverges, first impressions follow,

1. As expected, ROE pushes animation to its maximum, insane detail, lots of background movement, well done scenery.

2. Again product placement.

3. It has new and old elements intertwined. There is totally old, old with new, and totally new.

4. Old elements are better, it feels because of no budget constrains there is a lot more visual explanation to some things you may recall from the old series. Although no S^2 engine I think.

5. The new character is not that well introduced as others, most likely this will change with 3.0 and 4.0

6. As I see it ROE is the original vision that is unbounded by technical or budged concerns.

Just watched "Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance" and it was epic! The ending made me wish I was able to watch "Evangelion: 3.0 Quickening" right after it. They certainly found a way to top the series off with the "Rebuild of Evangelion" (Y) :D

I'm gonna write a review about it later today which I'll be posting on my blog tomorrow :)

Yeah man same for me! When Naruto was standing there in the gear like Jiraiya's I got goosebumps hehe

I also finished Eureka Seven and I liked it a lot, I had some trouble understanding how all the pieces fit in, but I'm reading about it a little bit and it's making more sense, but I thought it was a really well done show with good character development. 8.0/10

This weekend I rewatched Samurai X - Trust and Betrayal. Had a friend that never saw anything Kenshin related, so after showing him some AMV's, he was interested in how he got his X scar. Such a great story and animation. Though, I couldn't help but laugh every time they did a real world image overlaid on a cartoon drawing, like it was some new high tech way of animation.

New FMA:B was just amazing as always. Mustang lost his vision finally, but I loved how they showed the relation of what was lost to what was in their hearts and all.

New Bleach should be out today, haven't checked yet, but it is the day. Should be pretty slow on action and all for a couple of episodes, until they beat Yammi and move to the Battle Royal.

I don't see how Bleach could get much better than the last couple episodes. I was stoked! :D

Does Ichigo ever go into that hollow form again? I sure hope so loll

I hope it's not the same thing as Naruto not wanting to go all out with the Kyuubi..

    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.2 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
