I agree completely. Its an outdated system that is kept in place because its what people are use to, but its not going to change anytime soon.Jexhius said:

Damn, this is one fine looking anime. It's not a case that the animation is smooth and interesting to look at, although it's certainly no slouch, but it's more a case that the designs and the world are packed with such an impressive amount of detail. It implies a number of things without spelling anything out, which is nice.
So far there's nothing particularly memorable outside the designs. The story is eh but at least Iria is a fairly neat character. It's rarely the case that I'm watching a 90's OVA for plot anyway, I'm watching to see crazy looking stuff happen. This does not disappoint.

Didn't somebody say a while back that Squid Girl was an infinitely .gif-able series? Well, good news for them, since Media Blasters has licensed Shinryaku! Ika Musume for DVD release, complete with sub and dub. Looks like it'll come in two 6-episode sets.

"I've found a sucker". Really? The women with all the guns and weapons and traps who's also clearly a registered hunter (apprentice grade) looks like a sucker? Kid needs to get his eyes checked!
The immortal killing machine is a little bit more bamboozled this episode. Perhaps it's because it's

Hey, how do you guy's feel on the idea of a projects budget affecting the team's ability to further tell a story? I brought it up as a passing point yesterday, but then watched the bonus disc with Ponyo, that includes the interview with Miyazaki & Lasseter, and got to thinking a bit deeper on it.
Miyazaki said that in working on Ponyo he told his animators not to worry about technical merit, and instead work on portraying the simplicity, and fun in the scenes. That sounds creatively brilliant and all, but was that request not for the vision of his piece, but the maximization of output?
Anyways, I eventually likened it to being obvious and, like programming on an aging console, you have to learn to maximize returns within the constraints you're given.
Does it really boil down to efficiency though?
And what kind of budget does Ghibli work with anyway?
E: I should also clarify that I mean the animation budget.

Interesting article about Takami Akai, and GAiNAX as a whole, intention to promote amateur animators as well as other kind of film-makers giving them the same opportunities they had back in the 80's, with the creation of the Yonago Eiga Jihen (米子映画事変

Interesting development happening in here....
will need to update myself soon.
will need to update myself soon.
I'd like to think the focus on rough and simple work was a stylistic decision, but without more information from them I can't be sure. For several Studio Ghibli projects, even with dangerously close production milestones to meet, they did not modify their technical approach, and simply committed to the same methods working harder enough to reach them in time. Also, I suppose Mr. Miyazaki's Nibariki should not have problems obtaining necessary fundings nowadays.Miri said:

Haha, I almost feel as if you're bolding of "Mr. Miyazki" is meant to say that I was being disrespectful by not including the "Mr." None intended.
Yeah, I'm actually looking for information as to that, not finding it atm. I don't think Ghibli themselves would have any problems with funding nowadays either, to be honest.
Pretty much! We only have to see what they are trying to achieve for the production of From Kokuriko Hill (コクリコ坂からJexhius said:

I was going to say that this seems like a scifi Robinson Crusoe. I'm curious about how it holds up for 52 episodes if the ending is rushed though.

For a while now it's felt to me like this show's just been going through the motions kinda lazily. My hope is that with the school thing seemingly done with things will start getting more interesting from now on but I'm not really holding my breath.
Truth is I watch mostly for the Shiemi moé.

Here's what I posted yesterday before I watched the final episode.
Dali said:
It holds up really well and never seems rushed except for the wrap-up. The pacing was fine. All of the important action had ended and nothing major felt rushed, it's just the few events after the main action was over
specifically the arrival of the aliens right after Luna saved the planet, the kid's trip home, and the epilogue

Sounds interesting and Gainaxy; I hope everything works well for them.

So I think it was in the old thread that I said I was going to try to finish watching Aria after trying and failing twice. I'm almost done with the second season, and I'm enjoying it as much as I thought if not more than I thought I would. My favorite episode so far was the alternate world one and the ones with Lil' Akatsuki. Both are just too hilarious, I was wondering what the uniform for a male gondolier would be, I'm glad the show eventually answered that question thought I wasn't expecting the form it'd use to answer it. Woody and Akatsuki were my favorite swaps hahaha.
Anyways, I see the thing about getting paired up happening, does Alice get paired up too? It doesn't seem like it'll happen.

its mostly just you
the fact that you continue to harass me even after I asked you not to is the reason I think you hate me. But apparently you dont, which just makes you immature as fuck
Dude, you started talking ABOUT ME several posts up. Did you expect me to not respond? Im just telling you like it is. I'm not harrassing you. First it was duckroll is so mean bawww then its enron is so mean baawwww. We've got logs. Do we need to post them?
After this post, I think I'm done with this. You can't even take just a little bit of teasing, nor did you want to take any advice when it was offered up. Stop with the victim complex. Life will be a lot more enjoyable once you do.
I would if I could. ;_;firehawk12 said:
I was using MPC up until just a few hours ago, when my SSD shit out on me completely.
RMA'ing it and have only storage drives right now, so I'm using a Live Ubuntu USB installation so I can still use my computer while I wait for the drive to get back.

It's like any pseudo-celebrity culture, I suppose. Lots of kids can only watched animu dubbed, for whatever reason.EmmanuelMunoz said:
No, my SSD is shot and I've only got storage drives right now. I don't have room to shuffle files around and format a disk to use as a boot disk, so that means that until my SSD gets back from RMA I'm stuck with a Live USB installation of Linux. It doesn't have to be Ubuntu, but I was told that it was the easiest to work with.Gvaz said:
If this is "easy", I want nothing to do with the other distros.
I see.Izayoi said:
Well Linux is a tad harder in the sense you have to configure a few things at first that windows would otherwise automate, but it does give you more control over your system.
But yes, I would say Ubuntu is the easiest distro to get into.
VLC really isn't that bad.
I mostly only use it on my windows machine when I have improperly encoded wmv or avi files which makes MPC shit the bed, but VLC will just ignore half the bad data (i suppose that's what's going on) and play it anyways.
