Is this true? I was under the impression the show had done okay in terms of ratings - it didn't hit the heights of, say, Major, which aired at a similar time, and I don't know what the demographic breakdown of the show was, but it was regularly pulling in around 3.0 ratings which was better than Terra e... in the old doroku slot on TBS. See these links for ratings at the time - Dennou Coil aired on Saturdays at 18:30 (it's the last chart on each page, in the row labelled 電脳コイ&#12523.

It also got repeated on NHK at least once - I remember seeing the listing for it a year or two ago.

Perhaps I was mistaken. I wasn't following the anime scene at the time it aired, but I always got the impression from hearing people talk about it that Dennou Coil didn't achieve the kind of success that Mitsuo Iso, Madhouse, and NHK were hoping for.

It didn't. That's because you can't profit from one of the most expensive TV anime productions by just having okay ratings and totally shit DVD sales. I'm not sure what NHK expected, but the show was intended to be a pretty big deal for the children market (and maybe animation fans as well) but it never took off the way it was intended to be.

I don't care who anyone says is the best as long as they say that Shirley is the worst.

Amen to that. I really HATED Shirley.

Shirley sucks.

I was crying tears of joy. Favorite scene in the entire show.

You people have no souls.

We need to do a kickstarter so Mitsuo Iso can get work again.

I'm in love with Nyaruko or Tasogare Otome x Amnesia OP. Listened to it about a dozen times today!

Fuck off Waluigi, you got fired out of Mario Kart 7. Nobody gives two shits about you.

Truth.

Yeah they are both good OPs.

People who like Kallen disgust me.

All we need for that is a big heavy set of boots. Someone put those on, and we can literally KICK him into STARTING work again. I don't think it's a financial issue here!

Bwahahaha. Oh my God, the silliness. They caught me completely off-guard with this one.

"If only I had terrorists with me, that cat would be easy prey!"

Just as predicted, Suzaku

... And I'm starting to see what you guys were trying to tell me after I stated my fear of the school setting, haha.

Anyone know what is the best program to create gifs from, on Windows?

Code Geass R1 6

Catch that cat!

I laughed my butt off with this episode more than I should have.

-Ridiculous helmet physics

-Stalkers approach for cat hunt reward

-Wishing that a group of terrorists will aid in catching a single cat

-Pizza Hut delivery man and direct lines describing the pizza! I couldn't stop the laughter.


Just glorious, stupid school antics.

Brazil: Yeah, I was wondering in IRC, what it would take for Ledouche to

use his Geass on Suzaku, I'm sure it'll happen at some point or at least a situation where he feels it's the only option.

Thanks, going through the thread right now.

From a video? I use GIMP.

You can use instructions such as these: http://www.slideshare.net/Keef21Moon/how-to-make-a-gif-from-a-video-file-using-gimp

I use VirtualDubMod, though it doesn't work correctly 100% of the time.

Thank you both. I'll try the avidemux first then I'll compare it to GIMP.

I'd say Photoshop is pretty great at it. But expensive. GIMP is a free alternative. These are assuming you want to add text and other effects to the GIFs too.

Why do people hate Kallen anyway, there's far more annoying characters in Geass.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I'm shocked that you haven't.

So am I.

She's a moron and one of the most blatant fanservice characters of all time.

I think it's hilarious. He's the Poochie of the Mario universe if you replaced radicalness with lameness.

Fanservice characters never really bothered me that much so that explains it. Besides, she's probably the only pilot in Zero's side that doesn't suck.

Spoiler

until the end of R2 that is, if memory serves me well, and apart from lelouch and Sneizel they are all morons too so it's hardly a defining trait.

That sure has to count for something.

 

[Joule]

I use avidemux with avsproxy (this will allow you to work with 10bit encoded files) to capture the frames and gimp to edit after.

It's kind of hard to criticise a character's name considering you're in the anime thread, home of ridiculous names.

Everyone just needs to face facts and realize that all of the characters in the Mario universe outside of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Wario are as bad as Sonic's shitty friends.

You just removed Wario's name. That's very disappointing Ultima.

He's the star of one of the best 2D platformers ever made, your point is invalid. It's not his fault Nintendo retconned him to have that dumb baby voice.
