Anime & Manga Thread v.4 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Thread over. Move onto v.5

“I haven’t grown a big enough interest to start watching nor reading it. I shall not be swayed that easily.” Says AOS hastily.

You can watch the live action movie (and of course, the original manga), too.

Daily Lives of Highschool Boys #4

Spoiler

Probably the best episode yet. Ringo was more of a man than any of the male characters in the entire show (aside from the Vice President, who’s just scary). :rofl: Plus the post credits high school girls sketch was great this week.

RIP Student Council President. We hardly knew ye.

You’re right. I’ll go do that.

Mushi-shi is really, really good. I was surprised how much I ended up liking it.

However, I don’t think I could watch it again.

GANTZ was amazing, was my favorite series for a long time back in like, 2003 to 2005. Around 2007 HUUUUGE drop off. Now it is unreadable nonsense that never went anywhere with what it could have been.

Another 04

[details=Spoiler]RIP Mizuno. Why they gotta keep killing off cute girls? Well it’s only two so far, but it might be a growing trend. :lol: I honestly didn’t expect her to die or die any time soon, so it was pretty unfortunate that she had to go and in such a horrible way. :frowning: If Akazawa, the GRADE S zettai ryouiki, dies any time soon, I may have to flip a table or two.

With that out of the way, I agree that the show is doing a pretty good job of being unnerving. There’s a constant weight to each scene that makes you feel as if something is wrong. The direction and writing of the show is pretty good. I hope it keeps it up.[/details]

To remain on the safe side, I may just read it. The anime left me wanting for more.

[details=Spoiler]They just keep killing off the good characters…

The way Mei showed her eye under her patch in episode 2 was hot for some reason.[/details]

Another ep 4

SPOILEEEEERS

Spoiler

What the fuck man, what the fuck. Fucking “countermeasures” aren’t gonna do jack shit. SOMEONE needs to tell this kid something. Stop killing off the nice characters, that just ain’t cool man.

What sub group is the best for Nisemonogatari? I’m watching anime again.

I use HorribleSubs for Nise.

Thanks. Ahhh, I’ve missed this dialogue.

SWEET STATUTORY DAT IMOUTO.

I only got into learning more about subgroups recently… Turns out my computer has a shitty time with Commie, and is iffy with CoalGirls… HorribleSubs and Doki I have little problems with, AnimeUltima and Hatsuyuki-CTSS I’m trying out since Doki takes forever to update.

Everything else that happens is because my VLC apparently sucks.

CCCP sir.

I tend to avoid codec packs in general. I just manually did everything to get Hi10P shit running on MPC-HC and called it a day.

Mac user here.

Fail XP

Hmmm, quick look said that Mplayer OSX Extended is good for this.
This build in particular was supposed to be excellent for anime in general https://sites.google.com/site/hermihg/ .
Unfortunately I have no way to test if this is true or not so if you’re up for some experimentation, you can test it I guess.

Although I didn’t get hold of that particular build, I got hold of MPlayer and I can skip forward and not have the video stop playing on its own unlike VLC sometimes. Thanks yo.

omfg Another 4

[details=Spoiler]JESUS. insert a handful of profanities. This show is just getting started! The curse running amok is going to drive the show forward for me, and the art is becoming more attractive for me. Seriously considering making avatars in the future.

But to calm down and point out some silly Final Destination flaws:
-They are so blatantly obvious when it happens…
-The falling glass panel won’t kill you if you were standing like they were. It might strike you really hard and break on your head, but it was tipped over easily by the wind so that says the glass was probably lightweight and thus not very thick.
-When Sanae was plummeting to her death, all that happened in the elevator was that she lost her balance… WTF? She should have shot straight up and smacked into the ceiling, stayed there until the bottom of the shaft was hit.

Great, now I’m picturing the elevator falling with Bugs Bunny “NEEEEAAAAUUUURRRR” sound effects with eye sockets being stretched and saliva spewing out of her face while traveling at high-speed.[/details]

[details=Spoiler]Akazawa’s not going to die for another 9 episodes imo. She’s going to be the one character who can fight shit off and sacrifice herself to save Kouichi. Or she could get killed off just to make you mad lol

but yeah, cute girls dying is a growing trend. Reiko’s days might be numbered. She looked like she was going to pass out in the episode, and if I was Kouichi and it happened, I’d tear that ass up.[/details]

Just read chapter 1 of Eureka 7 Astral Ocean!!! :slight_smile: OMFG!!!
