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 :)

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
