  1. Best current release for One Punch Man? I want to hear your opinions.

      SallySubs is probably better, as I don't know if AnimeLand filters their encodes, whereas I'm fairly sure SallySubs filtered their encode (this show's BD is known to have aliasing issues, so filtered is good). SallySubs' subs are completely fine too, no problems with them whatsoever. Go with SallySubs.

  2. FUCK IT. Gonna preorder the Nintendo Switch. I need my Zelda fix ASAP. Hopefully I can grab one with the Neon color joycons.

      ^ I don't think we'll ever see paid online for Switch. I think they'll get a negative reaction and drop paid online. I wouldn't expect them to keep the free monthly VC game going without paid, but I think free online has always been a thing for Nintendo, and always should be. Imagine having to pay to trade Pokemon or play Mario Kart with your friends. Just doesn't seem right with that young of an audience.

      I'm calling a price drop before the end of the year. No way it has legs with the casual crowd at that price. Only people I can see buying it are the same people that bought the Wii U, and I'm pretty sure Nintendo considers the Wii U to have been a failure. I think it'll be very frontloaded in terms of sales, and maybe pick up around the holiday season once Splatoon, Mario Kart and Mario Odyssey are all out.

  4. So, Asenshi or eraser for Little Witch Academia?

    1. PDoggy77

      Asenshi released the first episode in ~24 hours, eraser took a few days. I watched Asenshi's encode, and had no complaints what so ever.

  5. So this went pretty badly last time, but a lot of the requests did get filled. I'm now able to do this personally so...

     

    Any cartoons need ripping from Amazon US in 1080p? Shows on Prime can be ripped at no cost, but if they're not on Prime, donations will be needed to cover the cost. Keep in my mind the files are higher quality than iTunes pretty much 100% of the time.
     
    Let me know!

      Still, Amazon's encodes will be free of any loss or imperfections introduced by interlacing and the various constraints of MPEG2 in the DVD encode. It's like saying you would rather have an H264 re-encode of an MPEG2 encode over a straight H264 encode.

      I see where he's coming from though. Considering Amazon's encodes will be a generation closer to the master files (master files > progressive H264) than any possible DVD sourced encode (master files > interlaced MPEG2 > progressive H264), and won't suffer from any interlacing or artifacts introduced in the DVD's MPEG2 encode, it's possible Amazon will be higher quality than the DVDs.

  9. Anyone know some good shows that could use some BD love? Preferably ones that haven't been done or not completely, or properly. And where all BDs are available for. #NoDubSorryBois

    1. PDoggy77

      Okay, thought of some more.

       

      Monogatari Series - This is a long shot. Only group that has done the whole series is Coalgirls, and they used ordered chapters in their encodes. Apparently the TLs aren't that great either. It would be a pretty big project, so I understand if you're not keen on doing this.

       

      Haikyuu!! - Only group that's doing the series is Commie, so it's Commie 720p, or a remux with Commie subs and whatever raws are kicking around. That only holds true for the first season - the second season hasn't had any BD encodes done yet (supposedly Commie is going to do BD encodes at some point, but I doubt it'll be out very soon). The third season just finished too, so I imagine it won't be too long before all the BDMVs make their way online.

      How about The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? There isn't really a nice, proper release. The only 10 bit encodes are by Elysium and DHD - so not exactly archive quality, and the rest are all 8 bit, and/or have lossy audio.

       

      I'm sure I can think of a coupe more shows that could do with a nice, new encode, but I'll have to think. Haruhi is really all that's coming to me right now.

      @Koby Hmm, maybe I will pick it up then. I wish they would adapt it more like Gintama, and just take time off whenever they get too close to the manga. Then again, that's basically just throwing away free money for them.

      I've read up to near the end of the Alabasta arc, and I was thinking of picking up the anime, but holy shit @ pages per episode. Why even bother? I always thought it was a bit more than a cash in on the popularity of the manga, but I guess not.

  13. Can anyone comment on the quality of Death Note's Blu-Ray? Apparently the English one Viz released was actually decent, and the Japanese one was a terrible upscale.

    1. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Both are still pretty crappy upscales. USBD is definitely the best though, as it actually resolves some more detail than the DVDs, whereas the JPBD is much blurrier and all around useless. Between USBD and DVD, it really depends on how you feel about QTec upscaling/filtering. If you can stand it or even like it, then USBD is probably the way to go. If you really hate the look of QTec'd stuff, then the DVDs are the way to go.

       

      I would personally go for the BDs if there was a decent encode, which as far as I know there is not.

  14. Anyone gonna be uploading the dub of Mob Psycho 100? It just started on Funi.

    1. PDoggy77

      PDoggy77

      Oh yeah, didn't think about signs. In that case, I'm sure HS will do just fine. At least, I got HS 720p for this, and had no complaints at all.

      Looks like the simuldub from Funi has a higher bitrate than HS, so if someone's gonna do a remux, I suggest they use the simuldub video and mux in Japanese audio and subs from HS. I mean, I'm 99% sure this show is only animated 720p anyways, but I imagine an extra 1000kbps on Funi compared to HS is worth the upgrade.

      Nice. I was thinking of getting that Uncharted bundle, but I decided to wait and go for a Pro instead. I'm sure they'll at least throw in a game on Boxing Day or something.

  18. I just came up with a brilliant idea. :secret_smile:
    Two versions of Shaman King.
    One in 480p with the original English opening and credits.
    Two in 1080p professionally upscale by myself with the Japanese opening and credits.

      Ah, Final Cut. I don't have any experience with that, I seem to have mistaken that for Premiere. Regardless, I would recommend encoding at the same res as the source. Upscales aren't worth the encode time 99 percent of the time. Might as well save the time and storage.

      No point in upscaling it. Especially if you're just gonna run it through Adobe Premiere, that's not really a "professional upscale". Don't think there's such a thing as a professional upscale.

  20. I tried watching Star Trek Beyond, but stopped after an hour. They ruined it like the new Star Wars by adding way, way, way too many attempts at comedic one-liners.

    And too utterly destroy Star Trek they made Sulus' character a homosexual and introduced his 'husband' and 'daughter'.

    On a plus side I didn't have to pay for this garbage.

      "We" is more like just you. The dude's been gone for a few weeks, so what? He's got other stuff to worry about than this, real life always comes first. Just deal with the wait. This whole "cries" thing is really cringy too. If he wants to and if he can, he'll come back. If not, sucks to suck, doing stuff like this certainly won't help.

      @Smileyyakadoo Thanks for the kind words, mate. We did feel it was kind of rude, but considering the places we were able to talk to were all universities (pretty sure they were, but I might be wrong), it's understandable that they just couldn't get the people they needed in to do it immediately. I'm at peace with it now, it was his time to go and he lived a beautiful, easy life up until then. And you're right, at some point, it'll our time to go too, and we'll see them and everyone else we're missing too.

      Yeah, the only places we could get a hold of wanted us to wait until the end of the long weekend, and holding onto a body for that long is problematic, to say the least. Not only is the whole decomposition thing gross, we just didn't want to have to see him like that, so we passed on the autopsy.
