For the peeps who are interested in "Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo", UTW just released it!

I watched it. I don't know if it was just me but I felt it was highly disappointing in that it didn't really have an ending. Maybe everyone knew different but I went into it expecting there to be a conclusion. I didn't know there was going to be a 4th movie, which at the pace they're making these movies won't be out for another 5 or so years.

Expecting that this was the last film was your own fault to be honest :p At the announcement of "Rebuild of Evangelion" they said it's going to be 4 films. I believe it's going to take them 3 years again much like Evangelion 3.33. It's a feature film with a high quality of animation and whatnot so it's not that odd that it's taking them 3 years.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Evangelion 3.33: You Can (Not) Redo" and loved the animation. Though a few things are still unclear so I hope that they'll address those things in the last film. Like, there's a 15 year gap between Evangelion 2.22 and 3.33, lots of things happened in those years of course, like the formation of WILLE and their shipWunder. Those things just felt rushed to me and I would've loved it if they'd explained it a bit more. They only had screentime and whatnot at the start of the film and at the end without any explanation.

I don't know where it was or when but I somehow got the idea in my head that there was only going to be 3 so I was expecting more of a conclusion than what was presented. I'm not saying it was bad or anything, though. The time gap does leave a lot of questions to be answered though.

Guys, I need some help in tracking down certain Anime show if possible. Friend heard that it is probably the only Anime better than the awesome Monster.

It is about brother and sister that were raised up to be some sort of agents. He thinks the name of Anime has Zero and/or X in the title.

Does anyone have any idea what is the true name of this show?

The latest Naruto chapter :o

Is this a sign that we won't see a second Naruto Vs Sasuke battle? I hope not. Unless they plan to do a storyline similar to Madara and Hashirama story.

Who knows. All I do know is that this chapter was GREAT! Really waiting to see what is in store for the rest of this story arc, and what else could happen beyond. What a twist! :p

They have to have a rematch. The entire series since their first fight has been leading up to it.

Yes. I hope Naruto doesn't end after the current arc which a lot of people seem to think will happen. I've been reading/watching it for so long it would feel really strange not to be able to look forward to it every week.

That Bleach chapter. ######'s about to hit the fan. I've missed it for the pas week and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it was out this week when I thought it wasn't gonna be out until the 9th.

 

The last 2 or 3 Naruto chapters have been good as well.

How's it going guys? Anyone watching current anime/reading manga? Been going through the "Hajime no Ippo" series myself and it's a blast :)

I think that's because there aren't as many interesting anime series this season, at least that's my opinion about it. I'm kinda watching older series that I didn't get to yet every now and then.

Watching Kill la Kill, Log Horizon and some others.

 

Kill la Kill is awesome. :D

 

So agree on "Kill la Kill", it's the spiritual successor to "FLCL" :laugh: "Coppelion" and "Golden Time" are also on my list (Y)

 

Also caught up with the Bleach manga last night, went through about 7-8 chapters. Where's Kenpachi when you need him to get rid of Juha Bach/the Vandenreich :shifty: Still, at least Ichigo has leveled up :p

    • BATorrent 3.0.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

      How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.

      This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
