It must be something if I forget that there's a Yuri in Tales of Vesperia.

 

[Articalys]

We're seriously not on the next OT yet?

Also, far too soon for me to be making a Spring list.

See, much better.

I was wondering why it felt like I had grease in my eyes every time I read an SDBurton post.

 

[R_thanatos]

It's a pretty poor season.

NO it's a great season .you'll see next OT that i trully have too many show to watch.

Woah I just noticed something:

Crazy.

How the heck do you notice that , now ? i thought this was #ANIMEGAF common sense.

1 pixel avatar borders are the worst

No-one wants to post in fear of being buried by the oncoming gifspam.

You're too busy paying attention to his upstanding companion.

This is a good end, a clean end.

Everyone's being so demanding these days!

 

[Articalys]

Anyway, here's the second animated CM for the Denpa Kyoushi manga. Any bets on how long it'll take before it gets a full series?

Clever image mask borders are the future.

I won't deny that.

No, the worst is when you have a character's head or other body part just barely cut off at the side of the avatar. That really bugs me sometimes.

Is it gif spamming time?

I'm sorry I sliced Cure Sunshine's twin tails.

The challenge is to complete this thread without spamming gifs.

not yet

( oh wait )
is the next OT ready ?

Some avatars need the borders. Avatars without borders and a non-transparent/matching background color are the worst.

 

[Beats]

So, um what are the chances that some other company licenses Penguin Drum later on and releases a blu ray with better image quality? I just saw the screencaps and I'm not sure if I should get it anymore.

 

[Regulus Tera]

One hundred posts til lift-off!

Regulus trying to summon Space Brothers gifs to get the party rolling. I can see right through you!

I personally prefer the closed look on some avatars. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with them if it fits your composition.

Lol, I do that all the time.

I'm just glad anybody even licenced it in the first place.

If it was Space Brothers it would take 3 threads before we finally reach the party.

 

[RurouniZel]

So I just looked at the Spring Anime chart. Looks suck-tastic.

The gorgeous music would soothe our souls in our quest for the stars.

Beta versions are in better working order than alphas. I of course consider myself along the lines of a Version 1.something+ male.

Something from the Fat Duck.

I love when Mahoro did all her anti-ecchi messages. so cute.

Perhaps IS was fueled by the power of Charles . Seriously, I don't follow sales and such as closely as some people do but some of these things are just head-scratchers from my perspective as well.

It kind of was, but there was probably more to it selling than just Charles. It was haremshit with mecha parts. Sort of.

Been listening to a bunch of the 2nd cour Nichijou EDs, and man, Green Green is so good.

Yes the nichijou music is fine, but stay away from the show called Green Green.

Economy of scale - BD is a lot more expensive to master and manufacture than DVDs are, and they still have a comparatively smaller market share here. The UK is so much smaller than the US merely in terms of population that it makes it really difficult to make the numbers work for BD here compared to the US.

It'd be less of an issue if they could just ship some disks over from the US or Australia for resale, paying the US/AUS distributor for the stock, but UK law requires the actual media that the content is stored on (as in, the disk) to feature the BBFC rating for the title to be printed on it. Kaze (who are actually producing PenguinDrum for the UK) can often get away with it because they produce disks for great chunks of Europe at the same time, but most non-UK distributors aren't keen on putting the BBFC logo on their disks (particularly when the rating may not be determined at the point they release).

Basically, it's easier to get even marginal titles to financially work in the US because the consumer base is simply larger. This isn't true for the UK, and even with the recent cuts in minimum quantity orders Manga recently got, it's a very sketchy proposition to release a BD for a show where you aren't pretty sure of selling a lot of copies.

(The likely collapse of HMV over here really isn't helping with this, either...)

You know whats funny? Fractale has blurays in the Us.
A bunch of shows that sold better have only DVD or notl icensed at all but we can get a nice bluray set of Fractale. so this whole theory kind of goes to shit then.

How, oh how, did I miss that PingDrum is DVD only in the UK?

-_- -_-

Every time I want to actually buy anime on disc these days, it's DVD only. Why can't I like popular mainstream shows I guess it wasn't so bad in the old DVD days because nothing worth buying came out in the UK (or if it did it was millennia after the States) so I could just import and be done with it, but now...

-_-

Ah well, guess I'll just have to pick up the US sets and only watch them on my PC for now. Still, so depressing.

The whole global disc market is in shambles. Its a terrible way to distribute anything.

 

[Taruranto]

Ahah.

 

[R_thanatos]

So I just looked at the Spring Anime chart. Looks suck-tastic.

Don't like mecha or comedy ? i also counted at least 1 romance anime and several anomalies.

any chance one of them is going to be good

I like mecha, but not usually TV mecha. TV mecha is too long, I liked mecha when they were short OVAs like Dangaioh.

I've used that image for years but I never knew what the lass' name was. Learnt something before I called it a night. See you in the next thread.

 

[Pooya]

all of them look poo

Make sense , TV mecha is the king of stock footage after all.

I think MJP > Valvrave > Gargantia. Gargantia has the least good cast of the bunch, while MJP seems the funniest and Valvrave has the best music and most likely rivalry of the two leads.

I mean, it kind of has to be considering the complexity of the designs. :/

Magical girls shows are the queen?

I'm sure my avatar is more offensive to him.

the 1 cour Valvrave is too long?!

Only one of those mechs is voiced by Sugita.

I think we have a clear winner.
