Having been to Silicon Valley (never worked there, just attended events), there was quite the focus by companies to appear "progressive" and "inclusive". I could see how one would get the idea that there is some preferential treatment. Whether that actually is the case or not, I don't know, but...

I've only watched one show from this season, so by default it's my best and worst. That one being no other than Symphogear XV. I absolutely loved it and it managed to bring the story to a satisfying close. After watching AXZ I was a bit disappointed that the story wasn't split between the final...

While the description is pretty generic/common for anime, something about the wording made me think of Amagi Brilliant Park.

It always strikes me as odd that they market it as season 1 and 2, which other "split cour" shows often don't. I just consider it one season myself, as that just makes more sense.

Region coding is completely different between Blu-ray (A, B and C) and DVD (0 trough 8). As @Relaxo indicated VLC generally ignores the region coding for DVDs. So being able to play it back it in VLC tells you very little. Ultimately it will depend on the actual region(s) of the DVD and if...

No one's contribution has been swallowed up whole. If you look at it that way, it almost feels like those contributions didn't help. The ~3.7% goes off each individual contribution. It's still a lot in fees, but if those contributions were made to the dedicated bank account directly, comparable...

I've bought some BDs during their recent summer sale. The results are as following: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Complete Collection - Region locked (A) Dusk Maiden of Amnesia Complete Collection - Region locked (AB, region B users will see Hanabee splash and region A the FBI warning and the obnoxious...

Over the past two days read some manga I picked up dirt cheap at amazon.it: Flower in a storm Vol 1 & 2 Quite interesting and funny, but the execution was very flawed. The overarching story was non-existent in the first volume (for the most part) and the second volume ramped up in speed to fit...

Some really good advice has already been given and I'd like to stress Adam-M's point regarding a degree compared to certification. If you want to do a post-graduate degree, just do it, but if your (sole) goal is to increase your chances at landing a job, it won't have the desired effect. The...

Actually the Blu-ray specification has support for what you want. A BD player can set the preferred audio language and in turn the program on the disc can use these values to pick the right audio stream. In practice, though, most discs ignore these and (forcefully) set the video and audio...

The movie is brilliant, possibly my favorite movie of all time. Despite its long length, I must've watched it 5 or 6 times already.

Nanoha Reflection (rewatch) Nanoha Detonation While nowhere near as good as the first two seasons (or their movie counterparts), I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is great news, I really love Symphogear. I'll probably rewatch it all in time for XV. The only way I could watch AXZ legally was through a Chinese streaming service and I had to add subs myself and overlay them over the Chinese sub 😅. Despite how horrible it sounds, it was actually quite...

I would also think that's an appealing reason for a developer (or realistically, a publisher) to choose for the Epic store. But for whatever reason that doesn't seem to be the main drive behind most Epic store exclusives. Just as in the book publishing example, there's a lot more to consider...

Personally I think having to create an account and installing a launcher/client is a quite a big deal. Steam is no exception to that. In an ideal world, one would be able to simply buy games, and any launcher/client would only serve as an optional convenience. Letting people choose which one...

Made in Abyss and Princess Principal from the MVM easter sale. Also two movies from Amazon.co.jp, KanColle the movie and Mary and the Witch's Flower UHD. Apart from Princess Principal, all stuff I haven't seen yet, so looking forward to watching them :)

Yeah, it does indeed look as if grain has been added afterwards, meaning it was degrained in the process. Artifacts are also visible near the edges. All in all, doesn't really look like an improvement, which is a pity.

Wait... are you guys telling me I've been setting my TV and AVR volume wrong all this time? o_O For me it has to be a multiple of five. So no 44 or 46, but a nice 45.

As IncendiaryLemon says, it isn't needed in order to understand the film and I think it holds up pretty good on its own. That being said, if you pay close attention you can deduce certain things regarding the events in the two seasons of Sound! Euphonium (so in that sense it "spoils" certain...

While I don't use the PS4 app, the Prime Video app on my LG tv also shows a panel ("play next episode") at the start of the credits. Likewise it won't display any subtitles when that panel is visible, making any post credit scene (or next times/previews for that matter) quite hard to follow...
