So what’s your MyAnimeList statistics?

[Jaysgba]

I'm only a filthy casual, but here's my stats. I often forget to log rewatches though. I'm jaysgba on MAL if anyone wants to add me.

 

[Neil.T]

least was @Neil.T at 25.1% (103).

Aw, no. Really? I get the sense that I'm just not compatible with people.

I don't give 10s, because that (in my mind) suggests perfection and nothing is ever perfect. If I ignored the numbering and went with the words as ratings I probably could go with Masterpiece as a rating as even things called Masterpieces have their flaws

I have no problems with giving 10s if I really enjoyed something. If I think "Would I change anything about it? No", then it's a candidate. Also, yeah, I rate by the descriptions rather than numbers.

I'm hard pressed to give tens unless they're particularly special, particularly Dandy series'. In fact I think I've only given them to these:
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Interstella 5555
Space Dandy
Spirited Away
Steins;Gate

 

[Neil.T]

Interstella 5555

Wow, really? I didn't get to see that at Scotland Loves Anime 2011. Is it that good?

It gets a 10 because it's basically an anime accompaniment to my second favourite album Daft Punk's Discovery. That and it's a great watch.

What's your first?

If you like Daft Punk it definitely an excellent film(?) and dispite being, basically, a collection of music videos when put together the story is pretty good.

What's your first?

And I always thought speeding up anime was a memetic joke that people just said to troll and noone actually did?

It's not (anymore?). There is even a plugin for it!
Video Speed Controller
And for DVDs VLC Player has had it for at least a decade or something.
To be sure seven years ago I would get the weirdest looks for it. Now I still get it, but with this overblow amount of media I'm not the only one to whom this idea occured. Originally I used accelaration for lectures I taped myself, because I really really couldn't bear a certain professors seriously slowpoke way of speaking. At 1.4x the man actually sounded normal for a change. After that I just tried it out on anything else.

If you watch something at any speed other than 1x you haven't actually watched it at all tbh.

You may think so... The truth is however, a lot of people don't even realize it all that much when it's just about 10% speed up and they don't get specifically told.

And those seem to use not too great accelerations algorithms. (Like speeding up in Windows Media Player Classic will give you high pitch but in VLC not.)

Of course, anyone in a PAL country will be used to speedup from watching american television shows.

 

[Blaize]

@Neil.T is at only 14% with me, I mean some people just have zero taste/sarcasm. *Prepares himself for a right back at ya*

 

[Rui]

The PAL speed issue is precisely why I could never watch anime at higher speeds. My anger at finding the theme songs/voices sounded incorrect was the reason I started actively avoiding anything converted to PAL thereafter.

[HWR]

My highest affinity was with @Peachy with 50.3%, followed by @D1tchd1gger with 42.8%

 

[Neil.T]

I'm just having compatibility issues left, right and centre, aren't I?

This is about the Texhnolyze thing, isn't it?

I've probably just made ours a little worse by putting my score for Highlander up a point after my rewatch

 

[HWR]

If it makes you feel better @Neil.T we both gave K-On's two seasons 9s which is an indication of fine taste.

 

[Neil.T]

Highlander?!? Dude, what were you thinking?

It is, and it does! Thanks, HWR.

 

[D1tchd1gger]

Highlander?!? Dude, what were you thinking?

It's pretty damn good, of all the films it's second only to the original! If the reboot followed this story with a few tweaks I wouldn't be upset.

 

[Neil.T]

It's pretty damn good

I'll give it its dues for what director Yoshiaki Kawajiri brought to it. That Scottish accent, though...

(I am Scottish.)

Got to be better than Christopher Lamberts! He could hardly speak English when cast!
I thought Moya's and the bloke in the 11th century part that helped Colin was pretty good.
