Natsume Yuujinchou Fansub Comparison

Aside from World Destruction, another anime I've recently started watching is Natsume Yuujinchou. This is about a guy who sees ayakashi, youkai, stuff like that. He meets a manneki-neko-like neko who transforms into this giant powerful creature at will. Of course, this creature is also a supernatural creature, blah blah. Familiar plot? Yeah. How many anime have already dealt with this? But still, it's nice enough. ^_^ So, I'll keep on watching it. I need partially-dramatic anime sometimes too. ^______^
So, let's go to fansub comparison.
~~

Ainex
==============================================
1280x720 :: H.264 :: mkv :: ASS :: AAC :: 231 MB ::
***
TL: anonymous
Edit/TLCheck: HiroT
Raw: fireboy88
Encode: ven
QC: xenia
Time/Typeset: anon32
----------------------------------------------

BSS
==============================================
704x400 :: H.264 :: mkv :: ASS :: Vorbis :: 170 MB ::
***
No credits available on video....
----------------------------------------------





Once again, they're clickable thumbnails.
For my comments, well, not much. Both are okay. I first thought the HD version was an upscale, but I saw raws in HD so I don't really know?
I have an attachment to 720p videos, but for this one, I'll go for BSS. I just like their TLs better, and I like their TS better too, except that sometimes, they make the screen look cluttered already.
They're also faster.
But ainex isn't bad either.
Anyway, for this one, I'm sticking with BSS.
Cheers.

World Destruction Fansub Comparison

World Destruction is a new anime that started airing a few weeks ago. I've watched only episode 01 and so far, it seems interesting. It's set in an imaginary world where beast-men (juujin) dominate over humans. Why world destruction? Because here, one of the main protagonists' goal is to destroy the world. Sweet~
Now, onto the fansub info and screenshots.
~~
Chihiro
==============================================
1280x720 :: H.264 :: mkv :: ASS :: AAC :: 236 MB ::
***
No credits available on video....
----------------------------------------------

GoodBadSubs
==============================================
1280x720 :: H.264 :: mp4 :: ASS (Separate file) :: AAC :: 293 MB ::
***
No credits available on video....
----------------------------------------------

Mayu
==============================================
1280x720 :: H.264 :: mkv :: ASS :: AAC :: 227 MB ::
***
No credits available on video...
----------------------------------------------

Osu!
==============================================
1280x720 :: H.264 :: mkv :: ASS :: AAC :: 343 MB ::
***
No credits available on video...
----------------------------------------------


The screens are in the same order as the order presented above, from top to bottom.
Plus, they're clickable thumbnails. ^_^







~~

Please excuse the inconsistencies in the screens. Sometimes, it's hard to get the exact frame I want using MPC. It's a problem I've been having for quite a while now. When I pause a at a particular frame, then press F5 (shorcut for screenshot), there are times when it jumps a couple of frames forward or backward, though usually forward. Anyway...
So far, I haven't really decided on which group to keep. I'm kind of hoping that some better group would take sub this anime because there isn't a group among the ones I got that made me go, "Okay, this is good. I'm getting them for this anime."
For Chihiro, they lack text TLs and the TS hurts my eyes. Well, the subs can be adjusted, since it's softsubbed, but still, it wold require effort on my part. lol.
For GoodBad, well, they're the plain speedsubs type, and I usually don't go for groups like that. For Mayu, the red subtitle made me go o_O. It's a personal preference, I don't like red when it's that kind of red.
For Osu!, they had weird TLs at some parts. They also placed lyrics for the OP and ED which make you think about whether their TL is a native speaker or not. I don't mind bad editing, but when it's the TL that's a bit off, it's not good. Why? Because I have very limited knowledge of Japanese, so I need the TLs to be as accurate as possible. I can't exactly try to listen very carefully for the rest of the episodes... That would take the fun out of watching. Ahaha~
Well, I'm not complaining, just pointing out my comments for each of the groups.
If I could combine those groups' works, I'd pick Chihiro for video, Mayu for TL, and Osu! for TS... I think...
Well, it'll be too much effort to have to make my own customized subs though, so I'll decide on which to keep sooner or later... Hopefully, sooner.

EDIT: -07/29/08-
I decided to stick with Mayu. The red isn't that bad, after a while. Plus, I checked anidb comments, and I wasn't the only one who had problems with OSU! TLs. I think the Mayu video is a tad too sharp though? Maybe I'm the only one who thinks so. Ahaha.

EDIT: -08/13/08-
After episode 1, Chihiro video sucked big time. Lalala..

EDIT: -08/19-08-
Mayu karaoke SUCKS.

Nestle Pops and Avatar

They're good for comfort, you should try them!
http://www.thebachelorgirl.com/2008/1018/nestle-pops-vanilla-ice-cream-covered-in-chocolate/
I've no idea what's written there about it, but I just included that link for the pictures. :D
The taste isn't really special, but the poppy goodness is pure poppy goodness~!
Now, what do I mean by poppy goodness?
It's that XD feeling when you go *pop* a piece into your mouth and go XD. Then *pop*, then XD. Ice cream in poppy goodness~~ XD XD

~~

Avatar is over!
Ahh, it was a long journey~
Well, it said "The End" in the end and it was the end of the main storyline, but I'm pretty sure they'll go make ova-esque episodes after this. The ending is very suitable for such an after-series thingy.
Anyway, it was fun 'til the end~
Go team avatar!! lol.
~~

Geass is hell as usual.
So, what's new?
And whatever else Lelouch says, C.C. is right.
Living is only living because you get to die in the end.
~~

But even if you get to die in the end, it's not an assurance that you have lived.
So, how do people live?
And why should anyone bother with all these anyway?
But these are the questions from which the little cracks form and propagate.
And in the end, the only reason the claws of the dark side of the source are catching up is because of foolish little wishes of what would seem to be one of the most important parts of life as everyone knows it.
To count, and keep on counting. Thus, it has been decided by the purportedly highest force in this dimension. Just one or two more should be enough. What is unachievable at the moment should be recognized as such and all hopes for unreasonable imaginary events should be discarded. All present resources should be focused on preparing the single entity, which purportedly holds the highest force in this matter of such great importance, for the battle which shall come at the end of this counting.
Will our hero be able to restore balance?
Will this dimension break and fall apart?
Can it ever be rebuilt or shall it stay broken for all eternity?
Counting up 'til the time comes. Until all parameters have reached optimal levels and all desired conditions have been met, this battle cannot ensue and thus no questions will be answered.
But perhaps one day, if the will and the courage finally find each other and become one, with the irrevocable words offering an entire dimension, then answers shall be found and this story will have found its end.
~~

So, in the end, even if fire and lighting are beautiful and their brilliance hard to resist, this soul would still choose air.
The quiet flight to the ends of the seemingly endless sky...
The song of the sky will always be the voice that this soul heeds.
It cannot be helped.
Plus, think of all the air pollution you'd cause if you went around rocketing in the skies through fire-bending. As if this earth isn't already polluted enough.
Yeah, oh yeah~ Clean is green! :D
All for world peace and pizza!!!
Ninjin loves you, YEAH!!!!!!!

How long has it been?

Well, it's been long enough for me to watch the first 12 episodes of Macross Frontier, get caught in a storm where there are supposedly no storms, view 1 GB worth of pictures, and think about adding an entry for about 4 times. I think that's long. This is the 5th time. And though I got stuck viewing still frames of the past, I won't let this attempt be thwarted anymore~
~~

Macross Frontier
-is fun.
-is mecha.
-is MUUUUSIICCALLL.
-is musical mecha fun.

Me
-is prolly bad at describing but whadaheck?? :P I don't care~ I don't care~ (Nabari OP)
-is being stupid.
-is addicted to Macross songs:







-should be working on Thesis. AHEM.
-shall free space tomorrow.
-longs for the day when me has infinite space (HD) and time (real-world time).
~~

Guess who?

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain

I encountered this term last night.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IneffectualSympatheticVillain

And that site has sooo many TV/show/blah related terms!! WOAH. I didn't know people actually spend time categorizing villains. INCLUDING Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains. But it's sooo funny!!! Especially since the picture had to be that of Patrick. :)) I can understand why they chose him. He's the epitome of Ineffectual-Sympathetic-Villain-ness. :))
Anywaaay...
~~

ME WANT:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
ahem.
~~

Hmm. What else? Basically, this is an entry for the sake of an entry. It just felt weird that the latest title has to scream a Geass spoiler...
~~

Oh, on that matter. Shirley's dying words kinda' reminded me of Inoue's farewell words to Ichigo.. They both have orange hair. Hmm....
Lalalala~
So, like, Rukia's C.C.??? Well, Rukia DID give Ichigo power...
and Inoue has been Ichigo's friend for soo long... and all. and all.
WAAAA.
Comparisons. o_O
~~

Well, I guess that's all.
It's good to have short entries once in a while. :D
