I have no words to describe this anime ... There are no words that exist to describe it that I can think of.

Eternally great ?
More than that. Did you see EF ~ Memories and Melodies?

downloading it atm, but it's on my to do list since some time.
l'm currently finishing To Love Ru, and then doing Myself;Yourself, l should have EF ~ Memories by then, l can't find a batch of Melodies anywhere and l don't want to use up my bandwidth on single files (uses up tasks for other things) so if you know a batch torrent PM me with it, l simply didn't find any even on TT, tough l didn't look throughly since l have some stuff to do atm T_T

for Melodies, there are no batches for blu-ray with subbed English yet. If someone can actually put it up on TT, would love it.

Do you want me to upload the last episodes I made or the whole batch? (1-8 from Thora and 9-12 from me

)

Yes! And can you upload 9-12 the subbed versions (just the .ssc files or whatever to mux with other blu-ray formats). Would die and love you so much. Is it the 1080p or 720p version that you have?

The blu-ray version should be done at my house by now. I'll check it when I get home.

I have 1080p. But there shouldn't be a problem in using the .ass files for other rips (1080p or 720p). As long as they are from the same source (BluRay) the timing should be the same. I'm going to put everything together and make the torrent now. Note that I have a poor upload (around 64 KB/s) so don't expect much speed. I'll also upload a .rar with the subs and fonts to Megaupload or something like that. There are 4 folders. Inside you'll find the .ass and fonts for each of the 4 episodes. Just mux the .ass with the video and audio and add the fonts as attachments

I've literally been "saving" Ef - Memories/Melodies for the appropriate day/time in my life.
Still hasn't happened. Still waiting to watch it....
because I know it's going to be a hard hitter...
That, and I think it's the last 'hardhitter" left on my harddrive that I haven't seen yet.

Needless to say, I'm quite excited for when the time comes.

Cubes ... you have to tell me what you think of it after you finish both. I so want to know. Is there anyone else who haven't seen EF ~ Memories/Melodies?

There you have. Try them and tell me what you think. I know they aren't that great but at least you can understand what's going on

I think I found better raws than the ones I have. I'll compare them both and tomorrow I'll upload the batch.

Thank you very much! Really appreciate all the effort you're putting in. I'm gonna mux this stuff and get ready for this weekend to hit Memories and Melodies hard. Great series, lots of strong flashy artwork, characters, music (definitely) and the story is deep. <3333333333333

Maaannnn...
After reading through this thread, I wanna watch this series now more than ever...
Might buckle under and just do it tonight and tomorrow...both seasons, all in one fell swoop...

Dunno...I've just waited for so long... $:-\$

Memories and Melodies are my favorite animes, together with Air, Kanon, Clannad and, of course in 1st place, School Days. I highly doubt that there would ever be an anime which can bring School Days down from it's first place. But I loved the drama/tragedy in Ef and all the characters are so... cute. All of them, males and females alike. That and the beautiful artwork the series have... if it weren't for the epicness of School Days they would be my top favorites.

I remuxed Memories with the raws from Sumisora. Now I have both Memories and Melodies in 1080p and soft subs with excellent quality. I'm really happy

(18GB in total)

Kannon 2006:
when Makoto started to wither, and when she dissapeared completely, it was so damn fucking sad, ever time they mentioned her name later in the series l was fucking crying, l think her end was one of the most touching and beautiful ones l ever seen, and l saw many !

I have not yet watched Kannon 2006, so personally the most tear breaking moment is pretty much the whole Yuko and Yu story arc in melodies.

I'll have to watch Kannon 2006 soon. I hear a lot good of it. I have been looking for an anime that could be as powerful as ef for quite a while now. (Please, don't say School Days.) Still searching for one. The only anime that have captivated me as much Are eden of the east and Bakamonogatari but neither are tearjerkers.

By the way, since it's on topic:

mostly those are just cute ways of naming ppl, but there might be some meaning behind them as well, alongside of intimacy and feelings of ppl using those short names for others, Japanese ppl take it very seriously who is calling them how, for example, a person that doesn't like someone wil lnever allow that person to call him/her by first name, and most probably will force to use -san/-senpai etc as honorific.

as for Kanon, you might first go watch classic Kanon and then 2006, but halfway go grab tissues ;]

Oh, I understood the honorifics very well. That's not a problem to me. ef is one of the shows that confuses you totally if you don't have a decent understanding the Japanese honorifics. Miyamura being the biggest source of that confusion, hehe

I was talking of their specific names.

One way that I remember using that dimension was Ichigo 100% in which all female characters were named according to the four cardinal directions (Tō in Aya Tojo refers to the East; Nishi in Tsukasa Nishino refers to the West; Kita in Satsuki Kitaoji means North; and Minami in Yui Minamito means South) and the main character's name (Junpei Manaka) contain Naka which means center. That dimension was used more deeply in the manga but it's still a nice thing to know as it adds more to the show.

I was wondering if there was meaning to the names in ef.

Up through ep6 of Memories.

I'm a believer. Ef for the epic win!
Haven't bawed yet....still waiting...

Which one is more hard-hitting. Memories, or Melodies?

Memories is more heart-warming while Melodies is sadder.

That's all I can say. Other than that, I find any comparison to be meaningless. It's just two amazing pieces of art.
