I meant the corrupt execs probably still think that anime is "a magical place that churns out animation in a indiscernible language". The longer they think that the longer our website remains safe.
Oh, okay, thanks for telling. What do you feel about Funimation and NISA licensing stuff?...

After the crap licensing companies like 4kids pulled on one piece and naruto (censoring stuff, rewriting scripts, chopping or deleting extra scenes) i don't really trust licensing studios that are obviously in it for the money and would sell the anime like they are the ones that made it if they had the same leniency like they did with music.

I guess that's where my extreme hate for dubs stemmed from.

Thank you for replying, Meomix.

Hoho, I remembered seeing such changes, where they replaced onigiri with cookie and some other Japanese food with western food. It's a really peculiar change indeed. I don't know whether Funimation or NISA does such same thing though..

Concerning of dub, I'd never listened to them but if there's only a dual audio for choice, I took such one but never listened to the English track. I don't hate them for any reason but, it is simply more comfortable for me to listen to the Japanese track.

I need to go away in the mean time. I would returned whenever possible. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Hmmmmm.... I'm.... stuck for ideas. Anyone wanna suggest some ideas?

Project:
I'm making myself a DVD (3 actually) containing the Puella Magi Madoka Magica TV series from blu-ray rips (I'd use the actual blu-ray if I had them, but then that's pointless as I have the blu-ray, why do I need DVD)
Anyway, long story short, I want This on DVD, and I'm currently styling myself a menu and feel it's lacking something...



Here's the two menu's I currently have. VGMM is loop (pause: 0;), T1 Root is static (pause: -1;)
(click to show/hide)

Menu 1 (VGMM) includes the Claris "Connect" OPening theme song TV size and works pretty well as a soft accompaniment.
Menu 2 (T1 root) includes no audio. I was thinking of using a soft OST track (someone recommend one? I don't have the OST -here- and don't wanna download every track just to find the right one)

All "buttons" light up in red when highlighted, and return to pink when selected. On VGMM, the "buttons" are above the episode names.

It's a pretty basic menu, but I still feel it's lacking something.

Edit: I just had an idea, I think I should add the episode numbers (with numbers) above each episode jumppad button (the names of the episodes)
(click to show/hide)

Let me be the first to say, that's a fucking pointless project ;D

Not that you shouldn't do it anyway. I'm just sayin.

I think you should be promotting transparent subtitles, it's like the subbing groups aren't even trying anymore, i took effort to choose a particular sub group because they actually put effort in making the subs look pretty, color cordinated, genre savvy, etc etc.

I think you misunderstood me, but in answer to your question, are you referring to this style of styling?:

Haunted house is the most tired and cliche-based horror genre and it's really hard to find anything good in it these days. But if you're fine with 'okay' films instead of 'good' ones:
The Others
The Woman in Black
The Conjuring

And there's one more:
You're Next, which I really liked a lot but it's not really haunted house, more in the "home invasion" genre. It does share some similarities with haunted house. And most importantly, it has a sense of humor and it's FUN.

I second the conjuring, it isnt exceptionally good, but what do you expect of haunted house movie.
[18:20:14] <+kurandoinu> How surprising. A conversation with gits turned to physics. That never ever happens.

Well shit. I need an 8bit x264 enc, and do you think I can find one... I swear I never deleted any....

Well, time to boot my desktop (in the morning) and pinch one from that. Or maybe best to just download the latest from x264.nl

Arigatou for those titles everyone, but I had already checked them all before. As a matter of fact, I'm watching You're Next right now..

Well, it's okay if you can provide me with titles that has something supernatural as a theme such as like The Ring 2002 or The Grudge, as long as it isn't about people murdering one another. I do not understand why such stories with bearing the element of murder are tagged as horror, because I believe that horror is supposed to be about something supernatural. Maybe I'm at fault though for not understanding..

If something is scary it can be classified as horror. It doesn't have to have supernatural stuff.

Yes, I guess. It make me hard to look for supernatural related material though without intervening with titles that bear killing themes like Saw..

Any other title you are thinking about, sir?..

Krudda, make the main font for the texts darker outlines and brighter on the insides. Please for the love of god do NOT make cancer colors.

Those aren't really 'cancer colors' but I agree that the subs in the first screenshot can be hard to read. A darker and slightly thicker outline will fix this.

Thank you.

Yes so please make darker outlines and white color inside. You don't need to be fancy at all with the text and if you do just change the outside color. Transparent color, try like 10% transparent so it fades a little (if that's what you want).
