K-on movie would be cool but no liveaction please. Sorry, not a fan of Japanese live action. They always overplay their roles. Although seiyuus are also guilty in that field, but it's 1000 times more annoying in live action.

I've seen some decent live action j-drama but can't think of anything good that was adapted from an anime.
To be fair I haven't seen many live action adaptions.

Could you give me examples. except for anime, I'm yet to find any jap movie with good acting. I sincerely want to be proved wrong here.

There are a few movies with names that currently slip my mind that I got on demand thru cables international selections.

One on BBT that I watched just recently and thought was good is Hotaru no Hikari
hmm, I also thought Ichi The Killer was good.

There were a few others but I cant think of the names off hand and as they are not on this PC I cant pull them up atm.

That doesn't necessarily meant that they have impeccable acting, but they were not atrocious.

Live Action Nodame Cantabile was better than the anime, IMHO, but this is the single exception to the rule that "live action anime adaptations kinda suck".

Hi there everyone,

I dont know about you, but i need a place to vent and let of steam about my day. To rant about things i love and the things i hate. I never can find the right topic to say what i want and to be honest, it just doesnt cut it anymore. THIS THREAD IS NEEDED!

This is the general chit chat thread, post anything you want (still abiding by the rules of course).
 
Ill get the ball rolling...

Today some eboy on the forum professed his undying love for me! and a moderator sent me a porn pm message. well it wasnt really porn, but i interpreted it as porn so YAY, as you can imagine it was pretty hawwwwwwt. infact both the boys are hot. i wonder if they know who they are? they should know who they are.
p.s. i just popped my new box forum thread virginity. go me


(note to mods: if this is too spammy, delete the entire thread)
yea i agree with u

Hi guyz! :P

I'm modifying some SUP subs (image subs, from BD) and I can't decide which one is better. Could you take a look please? :3

First: original, small, ugly gray
http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3603/orgyy.jpg

Second: bigger, lower and white
http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/6928/74010792.jpg

Third: same as second but with a little smaller font
http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/919/17795694.jpg


Which one do you like more and find it more readable and at the same time not very obstructive? Would you change size (bigger/smaller) or position (more up/down)?

These are image subs... so once they are muxed in, no more changes :P


(I don't think this is worth for a thread on it's own... so here it is xD)

The third is nice but I think it's too bold. I'm not a sub-analyst but you could look at a few shows you have on your computer or wherever and analyze those and come to your own conclusion/style.

Live action huh?
Epic face out of Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, but they did 'overact', but it was still watchable xd.

Would love to change the font. But they are image subs, like the DVD's vobsubs. Only thing I can change is color, size and position.

The third is nice but I think it's too bold. I'm not a sub-analyst but you could look at a few shows you have on your computer or wherever and analyze those and come to your own conclusion/style.
I tried. The font size in the third pic matches many softsubbed shows I have (measured font size taking pics and seeing how many pixels they were :P). The general look of this image subs I posted above may seem bigger than most softsubs because they have more spacing. But no way of changing that.


So, talking about size and screen position, would you change anything else to the third one? Or I take them as they already are? :)


Thx for the answers :3


PS: I tried using SupRip, the only program that seems able to convert Bluray image subs into softsubs, but it's way too buggy. Almost any subs I input crashes the program. It's good, OCR works like a charm, but it's of no use if it crashes in the middle of the operation :-\

Woot, welcome back x5ga how was your weekend?

hehe, thanks xD

My weekend kinda sucked since I caught a nasty cold. Went at the exam (pathological physiology) this morning with a 39.3°C fever. I have no idea what I wrote on that paper. I think I wrote a few sentences in English and French instead of my native language. Also, I think I drew an elephant-like creature somewhere. I'm so gonna fail it :(
So now I'm enjoying Valentine's Day in bed. I hope I'll be better by the next and final exam on Saturday, and then maybe I can have some more free time to rest, party and post around here. And how was your weekend?

oh and btw, did you get those black veins checked by a doctor? Are they back to normal?
