Interesting, will see if I can join in a bit. Though, I'll skip Tokyo Godfathers as that's quite a Christmas movie, isn't it? Paprika I've actually watched for the first time only a couple of weeks ago, so I can definitely chime in even without rewatching. As an aside, I actually found Satoshi...

Higurashi: When They Cry Gou episode 24 Glad to see some of you guys enjoyed it. It's a pity that it took such a nosedive. One of the many examples where the involvement of the original author doesn't guarantee that it will be good. While I'm not necessarily looking forward to the sequel, I do...

A while back I wrote an (online) utility to distinguish the two. In theory it should work for any BD that doesn't use BD-J, but in practice it only works reliably for Sentai BDs. So if you have a BD drive attached to a PC, you can use it: BD Region/Country code checker (More details about the...

Episode 12 That was the final episode, and while it doesn't really conclude stuff, it works as a "wrap up" of sorts. From the episode title "New work" it was quite clear that we would get to see Cinnabar again. I was prepared for an open end, and I honestly think they did a pretty good job. It...

Episode 11 Really great episode, the monster seems to be little more than a pet named Shiro. Recalling how he appeared last episode, I get the feeling that he wasn't send by the Lunarians at all. He probably managed to escape and simply ended up "playing" with Bort, Phos and Diamond. Quite...

Episode 10 An action packed episode. While I thought the camera work was nicely done, I did dislike the CGI of the Lunarian. It stood out a bit too much IMHO. I don't have this issue with the majority of the other Lunarians as they are pretty low contrast and seem to almost emit light...

This is a very tricky question. Not only is it very subjective, just knowing which of the two is more popular doesn't necessarily translate into a better fit for a colouring book. Looking at the examples, the ones featuring feet seem harder to colour due to large areas that only differ in...

Just watched episode 8 & 9, but also haven't posted anything about episode 7. So here goes, I'll try to keep it short. Episode 7 We learn that the gems hibernate, which makes sense since they do seem to need daylight. On top of that the Lunarians only attack on sunny days, so the handful of...

Episode 6 Really nice episode, but quite brutal on Phos. Gaining a new and unexplained power didn't result in Phos suddenly becoming the strongest fighter of them all. Instead, it painfully painted how weak she still is. Not being able to wield even the lightest blade and lacking in fighting...

Episode 5 Great episode. As already mentioned, we get to see a slightly softer side of the master. Was also really nice to see the gems in their rescue effort for Phos. While that might just be because the master ordered them, they did put in real effort, which does make up for the somewhat...

Didn't had time yesterday, so just watched two episodes and read through all the posts 😵. Will definitely try to keep up from now on. Episode 3 Snail is taken down and Phos is nowhere to be found. Seeing them just stand underwater as if they were on land was quite an interesting sight. Although...

Physical My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes lead to Doom [Manga] vol 2 My Ignorance of a World Yet Unknown vol 1-2 (complete) Digital (MANGA Plus) Hell's Paradise chapters 101-127 (complete) Phantom Seer chapters 1-5

Episode 2 Quite the nautical theme to this episode. We also get a glimpse at the world's history as well as the origin of the stones. Life forms that went into the ocean ended up being consumed by microorganisms and turned into inorganic material. From the last episode we've learned that there...

Just watched the first episode and overall a pretty solid one (dare I say, rock solid 😉). One thing that had me worried at the start was the CGI and.... it's pretty okay. I'm not as sold on the artistic merits of it over 2D animation in this case, but it definitely didn't harm the show. There...

Not sure, it feels like it just happens, so even if a disc is still good today, give it another 5 or 10 years and it might've died as well. But from what I understood Blu-rays are less effected due to additional coating, though most likely not immune. There's something creepy about not knowing...

I did take a look and honestly it doesn't really change my opinion. I only looked at the OPM fight and the start of episode one of Hajime no Ippo. The OPM fight is mostly animated on 2s and thus fares pretty well, and as expected the panning shots are buttery smooth. But there are still too many...

Interpolation never really looks good to me and I'm not just referring to the "soap opera effect", but mainly the artefacts it introduces, especially in animation. There are just some inherit problems that simply can't be overcome. Especially when the animation is on 3s (or even on 4s) the...

While it was to be expected, I would've preferred it in one of the following ways: Small ties and some elements confirmed: like Hanyuu being Featherine Full on bait-and-switch where the first bunch of episodes appeared to be Higurashi with some changes and then switching to some tea party with...

Physical You Shine in the Moonlight [Novel] (complete) You Shine in the Moonlight [Manga] vol 2 (complete) A tropical fish yearn for snow vol 6 Got the feeling it was effectively going to repeat the character conflicts/standings of vol 2-3, but luckily this wasn't the case and the story really...

Nice thread. One thing I've started noticing, though I'm honestly not sure if it's just my imagination 😅, is that whenever a character awakens after being unconscious for some time and the conversation goes like: - "You're finally awake" - "How long has it been?" Then it's practically always...
