I want to watch this has anyone seen it?

Dude the quality is not bad. The sound is not as good as a normal one though. But really is amazing for the size.
I have honestly never noticed anything funny/different with the sound. I download proper 720p Mkv's regularly and I honestly can't see the difference between them and the mini versions. Rmvb's as shadow said is another story altogether :)Quote:

Naruto and Bleach are both up scales, and trust me the RAW is murdered with scan lines and ghosting.
Don't mention rmvb's 80mb Size, ~92Kb audio quality [had one with 64k once] and sometimes 700Kbs video bit-rate *Shudder*
Well the mini-mkv's also have 480p and 720p versions like I said ;) Censoring is a whole different issue altogether. I also try and wait for the uncensored versions.Quote:

It's difficult but certian fansub group will release uncensored versions. Eg GG subs released the less censored version of HSOD but it took a little longer. Sometimes you have to wait for the DVD release to get the uncensored versions...Quote:

See Eclipse is "going into Hibernation" Gona miss them... :(
Air Gear censoring was a flapping cartoon crow :wtf:
Yea a throw back to the main characters Alter Ego. Karas-kun. (AKA Mr. Crow)Quote:

To finish what, downloading...? I wonder If I really want to watch it....After learning who Archer is it became a bit difficult to stomach a lot of it (Not in a bad way, it was just sad).Quote:

When I look at this plus the 280-odd DVDs in my room, I've gotta wonder where it all came from ... this isn't counting my retail boxes :o
I have 2x 1.5 TB externals and 1x 1.5 TB internal free space total 300 gigs. Filled with anime. Now I need to buy another external.
You guys have so much anime. lulz. I have about ten gigs that is all. And shadow fox can I visit you:D:p
The new eps of shiki is out:D yays.
Hah ... bring an empty drive and we can make a plan. DVDs are a big no-no :DQuote:

Agree with DVD's. I only keep my Anime on HDD now :D I need a new one though. I am out of space....
Anyone know any good Manga sites? ever since One Manga went down I have stopped reading :(
I was referring to the copying bit ... if someone wants a lot of anime, bringing DVD's isn't the way to go :pQuote:

Kyuubi - MangaFox still seems to be going for the moment.
There's MangaStream. They're pretty good and since they are also a iscanlation group they get their stuff up quickly. Only drawback is that they only host the big name mangas (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Kekkaishi etc etc).Quote:

Here's something of a dud question - do any of you guys ever watch Animax? At all. (I'm expecting a big round of No's here, but I had to ask)
Reason I'm asking is this ... I've done a couple of posts about Animax on my blog - getting more and more negative as time goes by - and my last post here has been attracting a fair bit of comment.
My last commenter suggested a strike (in typical SA fashion :D ) - for various reasons this isn't a practical option, but it has prompted me to send an e-mail to Animax - a nice long one. Whether I'm actually going to get a response is anyone's guess - but I'm considering posting the e-mail, and any response from Sony UK (they operate the channel) and see what happens.
Thoughts?
Would love to have a proper anime channel. But alas there is no way it is happening. They are taking it off at the end of November.Quote:
