1. Video transfer bars

    Karmaburn writes about Nadesico today, and the post might as well be about the video transfer issues, so promiment the black bars are in Nadesico DVD captures.

    I find this artifact annoying, so before posting anything I do this, in a directory for series:

    i=1; ls -tr *.png| (while …

  2. Holy Portball, Batman!

    Google decided to return relevant results for portball today. This is the first evidence that they actually play that game.

    I am stealing an example picture for the backup purposes.

    Notice that the yellow defender is inside the semi-circle, which seems to differ from rules depicted in Figure 17.

    P …

  3. RahXephon starts

    I saw a couple of episodes years ago at a con and it looked somewhat interesting. Blogs I read since then claimed it to be "Eva done right", "love story", and other such things, so I decided to give it a try. We don't have a lot of things which …

  4. Coronets

    Is there anything better than the choco coronet, the signature of Lucky☆Star?

    Of course there is!

  5. Physical Space

    Seen at Anime Diet:

    This is why you rip them, duh …

  6. When Trees Were Big

    When ADV started hating their own customers in public, we sort of forgot that they used to do good. I received the first DVD of RahXephon today, and was reminded how the gentle and cuddly ADV of years past released up to five episodes per DVD on first release.

    I …

  7. Stelviablogging ahoy

    Due to certain circumstances (mostly Jeff's C&C), I've been stelivablogging a lot receintly, more than the show deserved, in fact. Nonetheless, there's more. Using the no-blogging breather I also marathoned the first 10 episodes, conveniently packaged on 3 discs. It was fun, but also I saw lots of errors …

  8. A,e,i,u,e,o,a,o

    Saw something curious in Figure 17 yesterday.

    Tsubasa and Hikaru are told by their teacher to practice by sounding off a line of vovels: "A,e,i,u,e,o,a,o".

    The sequence is not random, it can be found around the net. Google was entirely useless, even with …
