    Sentai's on-screen notes really annoy me. What do you guys think?

    I think the poll is missing an option. While I don't "don't like them", I wouldn't really say I like them. To be honest, I can't say on-screen notes have bother me too much. Sure, sometimes they are trivial or cause too much text being on the screen at once, forcing me to pause/rewind, but...

    The General Conversation Area

    Yeah, it also surprised me when I found that out. I wanted to add a book to my Amazon.co.uk order and noticed it jumped up in price remarkably. Normally it's only a small amount when adjusting the VAT rate, but in the case of books it goes form 0% to 6% :(. Just the idea that something is exempt...

    The General Conversation Area

    From where I'm from the 0% tax rate is practically non-existent, so I would say one would always have to pay tax for any product or service. The only distinction is whether it falls under the standard or reduced rate. In which case I would expect it to fall under the reduced rate as it's sort of...

    Studio Khara’s Japan Animator Expo & The Dragon Dentist heads to Blu-ray in Japan

    Nice, really hope these will contain English subs. I remember watching them when they aired and, while a bit hit or miss in terms of enjoyment, I did look forward to them every week. Though I must say, it feels a bit weird that they are "bundled" with The Dragon Dentist. A standalone release of...

    I'd say you shouldn't be too focussed on Junior/Graduate positions, but also consider applying for, say, Medior roles. It might seem like a wasted effort as you won't meet the criteria, but there's more to hiring a software developer then simply using a checklist. Quite often companies have...

    The General Conversation Area

    Have you considered running one of the two in a virtual machine or is that not an option? As for actually dual booting two instance of Windows, I have only done that once years ago with an older Windows version. Back then it was quite a hassle, and eventually I had one instance on a separate...

    Warning: Crunchyroll Infected By Malware

    As long as we use password for authentication, it will always be a thing. Even if the passwords are stored hashed with a salt, it's advisable to change your password after any form of hack/attack. Also, I would really advise not visiting Crunchyroll (or using any of their apps) until its fixed...

    Your Name. (rewatch) Went to see Your name. for a second time. Last time I saw it was a year ago at SLA. Enjoyed it as much, if not more, as the first time around. Visually stunning and just fun to watch, though I still feel that there are a few parts where it drags on a bit and IMO the story is...

    Black Clover - Episode 3 Inuyashiki - Episode 1-2 :eek: Juni Taisen: Zodiac War - Episode 3 Real pity that it seems to follow the same formula each episode, but still enjoyable King's Game - Episode 3 Just when you think it couldn't get any worse...:p Is there anyone who genuinely...

    UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Bargains

    Exact same for me, also ordered Part One of Arslan (already have part two :confused:) and got an e-mail apologising that it hadn't been dispatched yet. I now fully expect it to get cancelled soon, but I guess only time will tell.

    Depends, in theory HDCP connections can be established from one source to multiple sinks. However for the playback of Blu-rays I believe the specification dictates that it may only be outputted to one display at the same time. Does it work correctly for the TV and PC monitor when they are...

    Black Clover - Episode 2 This was basically a recap of the first episode :p King's Game - Episode 2 Oh my, this was just plain terrible. A serious contestant for worst anime episode ever. After the less than stellar first episode I was prepared for some unlogical decisions and plot...

    Juni Taisen: Zodiac War - Episode 1 King's Game - Episode 1 The first two shows of the new season I decided to watch, and while the premises sounded interesting, the first episodes failed to impress. Especially King's Game had a very weak first episode IMO. Will continue to watch them, but it...

    I totally agree on the "The Movie" part, doesn't really add anything. Other than that I think it looks really nice.:)

    What makes you decide to continue watching a show? And how long do you give a show?

    I don't really drop shows. Once I start watching something I will generally watch it through till the end. That being said, I do put shows on hold indefinitely, which is essentially the same as dropping them :p. Though, sometimes I pick one up again and quite enjoy it, probably because at that...

    Totally agree with you. I didn't have high expectations when watching it, but was still quite disappointed as it got progressively worse. It's a pity as the setting could have been quite interesting. Also, while I watched it subbed, I switched to the dub for a scene or two and was actually...

    US Region & Geolocking Compatible Blu-ray/DVD Imports

    Thanks, I came to the same conclusion as the tool; there is simply no access to the region register. What I did find was an interesting set of instructions that look like branching logic, but always result in the same title. Do you by any chance have one of those tools running that removes...

    US Region & Geolocking Compatible Blu-ray/DVD Imports

    Ehm.. that should not be possible. While it is somewhat tailored for Sentai discs (especially the country code stuff), it should at the very least detect any access to the region or country code registers. Without such an instruction the disc can not be locked to any region or country code. If...

    In a similar situation as Rosencrantz. My order contained an item that was on backorder. Only ever received the 'order placed' email and decided to contact them. Their response was also along the line of '(...) regret to inform you that the order has been denied/cancelled by our lost prevention...
