Natsu no Arashi 10

Spoiler

Flashback mode for Yayoi and Kanako, which actually makes me feel sorry for Yayoi moreso because of the condition she’s in. Also, was kinda expected that the detective guy was indeed Hideo whom Hajime and Arashi met in the past.

Still though, major respect for Hajime. Kid is manning up and knows what he’s gotta do to protect Arashi. He’s come a long way since the 1st episode, definitely.

Can’t wait for next week’s episode.

I should probably finish watching the last 3 eps of Hyakko someday.

Need to catch up on Ristorante Paradiso, Cross Game and Natsu no Arashi. Don’t know if I want to keep watching Saki.

…400-500mb size downloads for single episodes = fail.

Yeah, I don’t get these massive file sizes. It’s either that, looking for an AVI version of the file itself (because some MKV files are usually the largest) or one of two alternatives:

  • Streaming
  • LQ versions, like what some sites offer in MP4 format. It’s not like it was in the past, though, quality of both image and sound is still good enough.

Yeah. I mean, I could be using that extra space for more porn. :frowning:

I really don’t care for high quality so I tend to download the smaller xvid versions whenever available.

For a 22 minute episode? that’s terrible.

I mean, the quality is undeniable - but for me, it takes way longer to download and it’s pretty much all for naught cause playing it destroys my laptop anyway.

RAWs are getting ridiculous nowadays too. I just want to see the damn episode asap. I often have to dl these korean or chinese subbed rmvb torrents just to get my fix.

The tits take up 100 MB at least.

Since I read all of Nana to Kaoru so far, what’s the word on the authors other work, namely this:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=690

Worth reading? He seemed to be capable of good erotic romance, but will it be the same without the bondage…

400 seems like a bit much, usually good quality is 350 or so. I don’t know why something would be 500 unless it was recockulous quality and or extra long. I generally won’t download anything less than 200, might as well stream it at that point.
I downloaded rideback in 720p and all the files were 349 mb…I have a bad habit of downloading stuff and not watching. I’ve had both seasons of shikaban hime sitting on my computer since april. Plus half a dozen episodes from various shows I’ve been watching this season.

Toshiue No Hito is very good. The ironic thing is that Nana looks like an adult but never gets nekkid, agatha looks like a kid and spends most of her time topless (not really). Nana has a pervy guy who can’t get any and has very adult tastes. Agatha has a closet lolicon with an erectile dysfunction. (although she fixes his wagon pretty quickly)

Edit: What the Hell is touhou!?!
My knowledge so far is its a loose collection of doujin games and flash memes.
My new favorite song.
I think I really like Iosys who or whatever is making this stuff. Mad beats.

ah, finally finished haruhi it was nice for some reason nagato was my fave of them all. im confused as fuck as to how to watch it next. do you have to watch the youtube ones or can i just go and watch the first ep of S2?

another question guys, do you put anime songs on your ipod? i only have flcl end theme.

Tohou is a bunch of doujin bullet-hell shooters made by one guy, with a new game like every year. It has a bunch of characters that get added into the story, so instead of a plot it is more of a collection of character profiles/interactions.
Kinda like how street fighter works.
Officially there aren’t any games beside the shooters, and I think a fighting game, but unofficially there is a ton of stuff for it.

Main characters are Marisa and… Reimu?

Hey Chibi, do you like Bonnie Pink.

Bonnie Pink is my baby.

Sora- Hearts grow (birdy the mighty OP)
Blaze-Kotoko (Shakugan no Shana 2 OP)
Kimi ni Mune Kyun -Maria Holic Ending
Evangelion Theme Remix-Dj S3RL
some IIDX songs, Carmelldansen (dj ryu remix)…some Touhou Songs. Not actually anime songs, but close in my mind.

Songs I recently had on but deleted so I’d have room for classic rock and hour long DNB tracks
Hana Maru Sensation-Little non (Kodomo no Jikan Ending)
You-Yuria (?) (shuffle OP)
Lost my music/God knows -Haruhi
Akikan OP (Miracle Plan da dekichatta!)
Metalis’s song from Macademi Wasshoi
Maximum the hormone-Zetsubou Billy (death note ending…2?)

Did you catch her new album that hit in March? I completely forgot about her since I stopped playing Vesperia, then I was like “I wonder if she did anything lately” and then I noticed the album came out a little while ago.

Who is Bonnie Pink?

Also, damn:

Man Chibi, I give you a chance and you just shit all over it.

Cage of Eden is interesting, and it is a weekly (runs in Sunday like Ippo), so I’m going to keep my eye on it.

Hey, when I care for your opinion I’ll send you a postcard, ok?

It’ll have something nice on the front , like children playing hopskotch in the park, a couple walking in the light of the moon. Perhaps a serene shot of the ocean at sunset?

Maybe adorable animal babies is more your thing.

Hmm, I’ve got to think this one through.

:bgrin:

Shame on you.

Seriously, I’m not asking in a demeaning tone, I honestly don’t know who she is.

I gave him the best blog name ever and he told me to shut up. I was so sad I ate a box of popsicles, and I was made even more sad when my tears started to melt the popsicles, then I had to eat them faster and got brainfreeze, which also makes me sad. Then I accidently glued my eyes shut with Popsicle juice while trying to rub away the tears. It was a pretty busy day for me.

So where are the catchy songs coming from?

The songs are done by the guy that did the games, as well as remixes by fans/other doujin creators. Just read up on the wiki if you want that, and if you want to try the games, I can probably find you a link. But they are super-rough bullet hell shooters, so they might not be for you.

Everyone in this thread should watch anime together, like we get one night a week and find a stream chat channel, and just chill.

Except Chibi, because that mean fucker makes people cry. And if he really wanted to know who Bonnie Pink was, he’d follow the link that was in my post.
