I watched the 2nd rebuild of Evangelion movie today and it is AMAZING!

After watching it though, I think that to truly enjoy the rebuild movies (at least so far), the original series should be watched first. Noticing the changes to certain parts of the story compared to the original show have made me appreciate the films so much more.

^I agree with you on that one. To see them making NGE into a better story is great to watch :D Specially if one can see the changes. Plus the visuals are of a whole different level as well :)

I could be wrong, but I thought these fights are what show us their bankais. Hard to say, but wiki says it is still unknown as well... bleach needs to clear this up for me or us :p

I figure they would make it a little more clear that it was their bankai and have a different form too since those were the same as their shikai forms.

In One Piece when they say english words it's hilariously cool.

Haha, I get that when they talk Dutch in Samurai Champloo :p There are no accents but the way they talk Dutch is just odd/funny.

I've been wanting to re-watch school rumble... But the quality isn't so good. It was nice when I had a 1024x768 display, but it just can't look good at 1080p...

I'm thinking of finding the highest quality releases I can find and try to "remaster" them. I have the funimation DVDs but they look worse than the ones that can be found online. Stretching to widescreen doesn't look too bad. It's just all the pixels...

If I could work some photoshop magic on them, it would be much more tolerable. Unfortunately Sony Vegas is an idiot and has trouble opening 80% of all known videos formats / codecs known to man, lol.

Also, even if I convert an MKV into something else and "remaster" it, I don't know how to choose which audio stays or how to re-attach the subtitles to my remastered versions, etc.

Complicated...

I want HD School Rumble...

Or even easier, is there something which applies video effects / filters in real-time besides the mostly useless ones that come with media player classic?

the best you're going to get atm is the R2 DVD rips.

Thanks... I've read that before and tried it, but the FFDshow really screwed up my windows install somehow. I had to reformat. I couldn't watch anything in Media Player, I couldn't use my webcam, I couldn't capture video from my camera, etc... lol.

Didn't FFDshow stop production in 2004?

If someone can point me in the direction of a stable x64 FFDshow, I wouldn't mind trying it again.

Never heard of FFDShow screwing up a Windows install, a case of PEBKAC? :laugh:

Not on x64 myself but there are builds here - http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/

Do a system restore point before installing :p

I installed that along with the CCCP. It helped with some problems I was having with MPC and it gave me better audio, but now my subtitles are jacked up and the quality doesn't look as good as it used to, even after enabling desktop/1920x1080 in subtitle resolution. It won't change...

Just finished watching "Eve no Jikan" or "Time of Eve".

if you havn't watched it go do so.

its only 6 episodes long and each episode is 15 minutes long, so its pretty short, but its really good.

Its a story in the 'near-ish' future where androids are very common and deals with the three laws of robotics and such.

And there's a couple hilarious scenes.

One of my favorite anime!

Yesterday I rewatched Vexille but this time at 1080p. Each time I rewatch an anime and go from low res to 1080p, it feels as if I'm watching it for the first time. Vexille definitely is a recommendation if you like stories about robotics, cyberation, androids etc.

Also, @Kondrath: Can't believe that RadishTM didn't reply to you with his own blog post: Upconverting DVD?s. As you've said you got the DVD's, you might want to give this a try while you're at it :)

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
