Kaiji S2 8

Kaiji, you mother fucker. What a move. Wow. Almost started to feel sorry for Ohtsuki at the end. Totally merciless.

"Sit the fuck down". Ice cold.

Is this the card game about the King, Pauper and Soldier(?) because that was in the movie and it was really lame.

That was in the first season and it was AWESOME. Also it's King, Citizen, and Slave.

Ah yes. I really need to stop judging this show based on that stupid movie :lol:

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I didn't get the set so probably I'm not being overly harsh!

Thought you said you did...well, okay then.

It's also worth noting that Sentai uses VC1 which is inferior to H.264/AVC. Their Xamdou BDs had some artifacting in dark scenes which really shouldn't happen on Blu-ray anime.

Now this is saddening. Why the hell would they use VC-1? The only major Hollywood studio which still uses VC-1 for Blu-rays is Universal, and even they are feeling the pressure to start using H.264 after the other holdout, Warner, switched to H.264. This is the one lasting, terrible legacy of the Blu-ray/HD DVD format war during the previous decade, that VC-1 is still a mandatory codec in the Blu-ray format and so people can still use it even though they shouldn't.

Thought you said you did...well, okay then.

Nope, I said I was going to! If I got it I would have posted pictures of the artbook which is what I wanted most out of the set.

I tried watching an episode of K-On.

It put me to sleep.

20k or bust!

Fuck that, Jexhius said that it's good, so it is.

Anyways, "it put Hitokage to sleep" doesn't mean it sucks, just that it made Hitokage bored.

I will! Bring Cuilan here and we'll have our first molestation session!

Keep posting, guys.

Damn if summer turns out to be a bust like last year then we might even go through three threads to contain the insanity.

 

[Articalys]

Well we've still got another 30 (15 if you're an elitist) pages to go, and the last 1500 posts took about two weeks, so it's still a ways off. But we will definitely need an OT2 before even the 12-episode series are finished.

Also I put my order in and now definitely need a BD player by August 2.

Whoa whoa, we are trying to get to 20k not 50k....K-On is totally cool though buddy.

I'm doing my part man.

50k would be even better.

Also no.

Yes, when this deal was alive, you could have gotten $100 off a PS3 160GB model and a $60 gift card for buying the PS3, which is being discontinued. Well, the good news is that the rumor goes that Sony will announce a PS3 price drop during E3 (hence the coupon offer), so you should be able to get a Blu-ray player by August 2nd.

K-ON is the universal anime name for greatness.

I'm pretty sure they invented the word 'greatness' specifically to describe K-ON!, since other existing superlatives were not adequate for it.

Your knowledge of animese is limited, cause K-ON obviously means "boring" in english.

Yup.

Thanks to jman's brilliant plan to rouse the dormant members of K-ON GAF, our noble of goal of 20k posts before the weekend will be achieved!

Its a Gold member feature, you too can investigate who has been wasting too much time in the anime thread for the low price of $5.99 a month.

This thread has slowed down considerably the last few weeks. Today is the first legitimately crazy posting day. We should say more controversial stuff to spur conversation on.

Index is the best anime in the last 12 years.

Controversial, I said. Not something everyone agrees on

Hayao Miyazaki is overrated!

Ponyo actually supports this theory. >_>

 

[wsippel]

Tiger & Bunny is awesome and almost certainly the best show airing right now. Deadman Wonderland isn't bad, but a little more cynicism and pragmatism would have been nice (it's also too predictable). Oh, and [C] is actually surprisingly enjoyable thanks to it's weirdness. That is all.

Nobody associates Ghibli with Grave or Only Yesterday. Its Totoro or Kiki.

Tiger & Bunny is awesome and almost certainly the best show airing right now.

I love the concept and feel of the show, but I tend to find the execution falling short. Each episode just falls kind of flat in terms of action and pacing, and the characters rarely escape from being their alter egos. Given the overall quality of this season I would have a hard time placing it above the other shows as the "best" of this season.
