Anyone watched Mnemosyne? Just started with it, and I'm surprised. Thought it was going to be another ecchi show from the pictures etc, but its far deeper than that.

Disturbing in what way?

It looks good and sounds interesting.

I decided to stick to new shows only from now on. If there's something I've not seen yet then just too bad. Time constraints and there's simply too much to follow as is. The fact that everything's approaching 400Mb per episode lately aint helping either.

That said this is a good month with plenty of decent shows airing. Waiting a week or two to see who subs what though.

Yeah but the subs are bad. I don't know. This had better not become the cool thing to do anytime soon.

Im lost...

Black God are subbing Kurokami, you said their releases were 460MB per episode.
Which isnt true, its 228/267 depending on which one you get.

Their subs are bad (translation im assuming, perhaps style too?).

Now, what dont you want to become a cool thing? Bad subs or bad subs as well as high "big" releases or big releases? :?


Im getting Kurokami from Nuke, I just hope they do this within reasonable speed and not like they did some other series :-/

Well your obviously not (or didn't yet) because if you did then you would have known that the Nuke-BandaiaTV subs are the one's 461.25Mb (#1) and 461.02Mb (#2) in size.

Kurokami means Black God. I did not say I got Black†God_Project subs.

Yeah well that's what I meant. Just imagine we'll need to backup to Blue Ray soon if this becomes trend as fast as the 350Mb 720p releases did last year. See the problem is a lot of noob subbers are upscaling to 720p (like Shikabane Hime) so it still looks like crap and every now and then sizes like these comes along to try and boost the quality but **** man just imagine a few months from now -

Fool #1 : Hey guys anyone got FMA 2 for me please?
Fool #2 : Yeah sure man send me the DVD's and I'll burn it for you.
Fool #1 : Sweet thanks a lot man how many you need?
Fool #2 : 7
Fool #1 : WTF?!

**** ridiculous.

Ooh, ok. Whoops, misunderstood.

Didnt know kuro was black. Also I was slightly confused as there wasnt a fansubbing group called Black God, thought you refering to them though xD (Blame school! I just went back, school rots your brain...)

Also nope, I have the it sitting in uTorrent...
Waiting for me to switch over to some int bandwidth ;)

Using a Proxy with IP cop for browsing with int and so on, thats my browsing cap. Not downloading :?
Although to be honest, I dont pay too much attention to the size. I may notice it every now and then.

Why is it soo big? Its 720p, shouldnt require such a high bitrate. What audio does it have?
Possibly the audio making it a larger release?

Also the translation/subs for Nuke's release isnt that great you say?


lol @ nuke :P
Liar!! I am getting it from you! 8) :P

ROFL. Yeh, that is a bit of overkill.
350MB is still rather acceptable. Perhaps closer to 500MB for a 1080p release. I dont think 720p would need to go over 350MB for 20-25min.

Also upscaling it by resizing and not having your media player upscale on the fly should produce slightly better quality.
I guess you could try apply a few filters that may help a bit as well, although is it really needed?

It may be nice, for us not that great mainly due to our internet setup.

Collect figurines? Well even that caught up to the digital age -

Robotic figures may be some way off, but virtual figures, here in the form of a “Virtual Idol System”, are much closer.

Cyber Figure ARis, as she is known, possesses a 3D polygonal maid avatar of modest fidelity, along with charming voicing provided by the same seiyuu as C.C. of Code Geass (and Tear Grants), Yukana.

In addition, she responds interestingly to the full gamut of perverted experimentation her master will inevitably throw at her; you can see this rather amusing molestation in action in the below videos :

Fortunately, she forgets cruel treatment with the provision of presents, in what some would say is a not unrealistic fashion…

She seems to have received some wardrobe upgrades as well.

Essentially, this is a figure rendered by the ARis software on the PC, overlaid onto the video provided by the PC’s camera. The cube provides positional data for the figure, and the stick and other tools also incorporate tracking sensors to allow virtual interaction with the “figure”, which has a variety of interesting behaviours.

A very novel and interesting use of the technology (known as Augmented Reality, hence ARis, as opposed to Virtual Reality), I’m sure you’ll agree, and one it would be very interesting to see iterated over several generations, and given some established IP.

You can acquire your own ARis for $160; you’ll need a Windows PC and a web camera to go with it.
Link's NSFW.

A little too much perhaps?

i have to disagree with you there. Gundam is pretty awesome.
Kurokami was pretty interesting, and the fact that it was a manhwa just made me even more curious.
other than that im watching the new kara no kyoukai, hyakko and im planng to start To Aru Majutsu no Index soon

personally im waiting for hayate no gotoku
