I'll never understand why people do this. Are you telling me that after watching 20 minutes of a movie, you literally pause it, just to go tell people that you're 20 minutes into a movie and it SUPER R0XX0RZ? Would you also take out your phone in the cinema during a movie just to tweet about how AMAZING an action scene is while watching it? :/

I'm out getting food right now, because I got hungry all of a sudden

 

[Risette]

The two aren't the same thing though. I don't take out my phone while I'm in a theater because I'm trying to be polite to everybody around me. I don't have to worry about that while watching at home, thankfully.

You should be polite to the artists who made the objects of your viewing too.

Manga > Anime??

In this case, yes. I feel

Girghe

was the best part about BB and all that he entailed. So when they botch all his battles and even his character a bit, it's like where's the climax to all the action in a sense.

How do you be impolite to people you never meet?

 

[Risette]

Death of the author etc.

Even if the author is dead you can show the editor some respect too!

Believe it or not, the passage of time and time used in movies is part of how stories are told there. Pausing is the devil.

By disrespecting their work.

I watch movies on a 4 inch screen.

So it really bothers you if I watch a movie on my phone and then post about it on GAF.

And it's not an iphone either.

Sorry

the kids from the other side of the station, it was nice to see that plot point picked up again.

I hate cliffhangers.

While watching the movie? Yes.

right now david lynch is having a conniption somewhere

 

[Cameron122]

Man I'm just a rebel. Look at me, posting like I own the joint.

 

[Steroyd]

Ano Natsu - 07

The quiet shy ones are usually the ones you keep a close eye on.

This show seems to be charging through where most other anime would have created a convoluted web of misunderstandings, me likes.

 

[Geneijin]

But I watch them on a PSP.

Dude. No.

Get a Vita. Anime looks great on it.

Nichibros 6

I'd totally watch their version of Harry Potter.

I do the same but on my Galaxy Tab. Not to mention that CR ads for some reason never play on Android app so that's a plus for me.

 

[Haly]

Kou is... not that bad compared to Monsha.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

I feel vindicated for forcing 16:9 now. Thanks guys.

Next you'll be zooming like a geezer...

You should be beaten with a club.

You don't do this for every series do you? Only the ugly and dumb ones right? Please say yes

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

It's not exactly a spoiler to let you know Monsha will be the most annoying character for the better part of the series.

 

[Haly]

Lol, I'm guessing he'll die eventually and then Kou will be all sad and stuff.

Gato is such a fabulous bastard.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Actually, I set it to do that ages ago and kinda forgot about it.

Everything is widescreen to me.

Where's the spare club when you need one??? swings

original aspect ratio crew represent

 

[Lafiel]

The worst part is when TV channels actively stretch content because of people like Hix.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Those visual representations of your disgust would look classier in 16:9.

But at least I don't watch anime on a 4 inch screen, that's good, right? Right?

 

[survivor]

What's the reason behind forcing 16:9? Just to get rid of the black bars?

 

[chickdigger802]

Gintama 247

A grand episode.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

What's the reason behind forcing 16:9? To get rid of the black bars?

Yeah.

It's all for the sake of picture quality. When you think about it.

Bodacious Space Pirates 6

More than pirates, they seem like a performing company XD
I loved listening to Marika read the script and make the fake laugh (which she started to choke on lol).
This show is good indeed.
So today I added two shows to my watching list, this and Black Rock Shooter (which is good in its own, bad, way). Not bad.
Next I'll have to get up to date on Guilty Crown.

 

[dakkumauji]

Oh hey working on my backlog, instead of studying.

Summer Wars

Oh man, that was a visual splendor. I can see how people would say it is like Digimon: Our War Games, and man does it show. But, seriously, I was surprised at how nice it just looked, all the animation going on, but then again I been watching nothing but SZS for the past month, so maybe my standards are pretty low.

But, great story and I was surprised how I liked both the real world and the cyber world segments. If anything, I question why I didn't watch this any earlier.

yet another reason to not watch tv

nah, watching stuff on a 4" screen is infinitely better than literally screwing with the composition of a primarily visual medium.

 

[Haly]

I watched "Our War Game" recently and I can't understand people who think it's better than Summer Wars.

Summer Wars does everything "Our War Game" did but without requiring you to watch Digimon S1 to really get everything that's going on.

Also Koikoi -> global DDoS. It doesn't even work anyway. Forwarding all those emails would only burden the connection even more :\

 

[iavi]

Why would I watch my anime on an archaic tech like lcd/plasma when I can watch it on my phone and use a 720p oled?

It could easily be the Digimon nostalgia. I mean, while I did really liked the characters in Summer Wars, in Digimon, you had 50something episodes to grow to like them, not just the length of the movie.

Will you go back to TV watching when this beast gets released? Assuming your wallet is big enough

On another note, I started watching Natsume season 2 today and I don't like the OP at all. Go back to the first one, it was so much better.

 

[Lain]

Yeah.

It's all for the sake of picture quality. When you think about it.

If it's for picture quality, wouldn't keeping the AR intact offer a better picture quality, since the picture ends looking pretty bad stretched, with fat midgets on the screen?

 

[Hellsing321]

I pay a troupe of classically trained thespians to act out my anime. Its the only way to watch.

 

[iavi]

Haha, if only. My wallet is definitely not big enough.

 

[Risette]

Why would I watch my anime on an archaic tech like lcd/plasma when I can watch it on my phone and use a 720p oled?

Probably because most [good] anime creators have something a little larger in mind than a phone when creating shots.

Yeah.

No.

Nonoha sweets of death! And Gammon's imouto invades! She's all worried about her brother (awwwww), and Nonoha's also worried. Kaito touches a weird puzzle thing and has a weird trippy reaction to it due to Orpheus being all weird again. Gammon owns Rook's lackeys, and Kaito and Nonoha encounter Elena

Spoiler

who ends up totally admitting she likes Gammon! XD

That bike puzzle was totally cool though. ^^
