Digitally subbed anime. As in they're distributed over the internet by downloading instead of the old conventional way of distributing VHS fansubs.



While I enjoy the quality of digisubbed anime and how fast they come out, I'd rather watch anime on my TV.

You enjoy the quality of digisubbed anime?  I guess you have pretty low standards then.  Even traditional VHS fansubs look better, even with the glaring video flaws (I find dot crawl is especially annoying, but cross colorization's pretty bad too).  I suppose I just get more demanding with my video....

digisubs have decent quality.  rarely you get a good one.  usually tho, i prefer to hit the VHS or better yet, get the official DVD! :D
Title: Current obsession(s)
Post by: KimaLucifer on December 10, 2002, 08:31:26 PM
DVD's are the best.... but I think I'm pissed at my version of spirited away..... I heard that people in Japan with a DVD version of spirited away are too because that version is sorta tinted red.

Cloud:

Digisubs are never, technically speaking, "good" quality.  To make the files more readily accessible for download, they are compressed.  Compression = loss of quality.  It is slightly less noticable when it's a DVD rip (as compared to a TV source), but it's always there.  Also, most digisubs are encoded in the DivX codec.  I've noticed what I assume are inherient flaws in the format.  The most noticable being blocky artifacting.



Kima:

Yah, the Japanese Spirited Away DVDs have a red bias.  Some people are actually sueing Buena Vista (the distributor) for a refund on their discs.  Read about it here (http://animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=2893).

Most VHS fansubs I've seen are like 2nd and lower generation. Masters and 1st gens are great. But yeah, there are bad digi anime, too. Ones with a TV source may not be as good, but they're reasonable. I guess digisubs are easier to get, so that's a big plus.

but you have to get in line in IRC or other P2P programs and then it becomes a hassle. I'll just wait for the official DVD's or HK DVD's... (gah, going to be flamed for that one)  :twisted:-fa, fa, fa, fa!

*FLAAAAAAAAAAAME!* XDXD jk

Well, if you can tolerate the baaaaaaaaad HK subtitles, go ahead.



You just need to get the right places for easy dl on IRC. Of course there are times where all queues are full, but I don't have that problem too often. There are also people who upload anime to HTTP servers, so that's real cool. ^^

Oh man, oh man, Prince of Tennis RULZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 :mrgreen:  It's so good, I'm amazed that it isn't being talked about very much.  It just draws you in and makes you think "I must see more or I'll die... or at least not be happy...."  Yes, it's that good.  I've already seen through 40 episodes.  Get it.  Watch it.  Obsess about it.  Thank me. :mrgreen:

Hehe, I've been watching Tennis no Ouji sama, too. My favorite is Tezuka. =d



This series makes me wonder, "Is all this stuff they do possible?" LoL! I mean... all these ball spins and techniques and stuff. ^^;; Their Engrish is quite amusing at times, though. =P



Go Tezuka!! Too bad he doesn't talk too much... Okiayu sama. ^^

Momo chan's cute, too. And Eiji's funny, too. Oh, and Kawamura! Hehehe. Of course I like Ryoma, too.

From what I can tell, with my limited knowledge of physics, all the various shots are technically possible.  But I highly doubt that anyone in real life would be anywhere near skilled enough to accomplish such tasks.



Goku:

Nah... it's all about Fuji and Kikumaru. ^_^

"Sera Myu" refers to the series of musical theater productions based on the Sailor Moon stories and characters (the Japanese love to use strange contractions). I hear there's a bunch of them.



Sailor Moon is not the only anime to have a musical theater treatment. Apparently there is a long tradition of turning popular animation into stage productions in Japan, though the idea has only caught on in this country in the last decade with Disney's productions of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King".

my obsessions...



Haibane Renmei ^.^

my website

Warcraft 3 (even though I hate it, I can't stop playing)

Yuki Kajiura music



as for digisubbed anime, I try to download all I can, but try to get the DVDs if I can scrounge up enough money.



[edit]oh yea, as for downloaded video quality, you gotta know where to get it from :P If you're getting .rms or 100 meg avis, you obviously have a dramatic loss in quality sacrificed for size.[/edit]

Ahhh.... Gravitation is great. I'm one who goes looking for shounen ai (I'm not a fan, but I don't mind it), but my friend sent me the series a while back and I loved it. Great seiyuu, and it's hilarious! Wa~ Ryuuichi! X3 Shuuichi's cute, too. And I love Eiri's eyes... And Tatsuha! And K! "HOLD UP!" XD And Sakano and all his worrying, and Touma! I just don't like that one rival band, uh, ASK or somthing? yeah, they mean. -_-



Gravitation is a great series for anyone who needs a laugh. The shounen ai's a lil bonus. ^^;
