MasqueradeOverture

I watch it so I can bang out an episode of 5 anime at a time while I can spend the rest of my free time throughout the week watching something else. For me, it's convenient.

For anyone tryna grab the Stand Alone Complex Blu-ray, you might wanna hold on that.

On top of OKC pressing charges for harassment and threatening its users...yes.

I do this. I only hear it when it's quiet or I focus on it, but it isn't totally debilitating (luckily). I can pinpoint the exact day I got it though. It was about two years ago: I was running on 35 hours without sleep as I'd just finished a project for a class earlier in the day, yet I still went ahead with driving down to Atlantic City with a couple friends. Not only was I completely sleep deprived, but I had a cold, and as soon as I got to our room at Harrah's I took an Advil Cold & Sinus and washed it down with a Corona. Then I hung out at The Pool for about 3 hours where the music was fucking loud as fuck before calling it a night. Yep. That pretty much did it.

Anyone here sculpt themselves out from a tub of lard into a Greco-Roman statue? Post how you've done so as well as pictorial evidence here. College turned me into a 245 lb. monster and Monday I will begin my regimen of P90. Unfortunately I have to start there as I've gotten very out of shape, but if all works out I'mma run through that and then in 90 days time begin running through P90X3.

Wow. 2011 Hunter X Hunter looks more 90's than '99 HxH does.

I was thinking of watching HxH '99 before Toonami eventually got this one, but that never materialized. I liked the exams well enough here so ignorance is bliss I guess.

One being cel-shaded and sporting a shitty dub while the other...not. The only time I'd ever advise such a jump is between FMA episode 25 and Brotherhood episode 11.

You'd be fired from the Programming department in less than a day.

Hunter X Hunter is the best. OP and Naruto have become irrelevant. I like OP, but I can't watch it at a week by week basis due to its snail-like pacing, and Shippuden flat out sucks.

You mean "Singles Appreciation Day." Put it this way: Don't have to spend hard earned cash on anyone, you have an abundance of solitary free time... Being single is a beautiful thing. I'll continue to soak it all in while I can.

Absolutely nothing. Thank the fucking Lord.

I don't know what turns me on more: The girls or the old school art style.

For those who don't know what this means, it's that not only is John Williams scoring the entire film (when it he only partially scored The Force Awakens due to retirement), but Rian Johnson wants to edit the movie entirely around the emotional beats of the score. This has never been done before with a Star Wars film, nor is it a common practice as usually the music is scored after the film has a final edit reel. However, Williams has taken part in something similar to this before with the last 15 minutes of E.T. This is the approach Rian Johnson wants to do for the WHOLE. FUCKING. MOVIE. Johnson might not just be responsible for the best episode of television ever (Ozymandias)...but perhaps what may very well be the greatest Star Wars movie. I trust this guy. Don't fuck it up.

Ooooooooooooo...I should try this. I had a Tumblr account I used for art and stuff. Haven't used it in months though. Wonder how long the submission window is.

That's film. Film is scannable to a theoretically infinite resolution. When it comes to things shot or drawn digitally, the resolution can only go as high as what it was originally shot or rendered in. Most anime between 2000 and 2006 (including FMA) were rendered in 480p. Any remaster done to it thus can only give the illusion of being HD by adding a ton of filters, de-aliasing, and upscaling. Sometimes this practice can work really well (FMA looks to be one of these cases). Other times it could look like total shit.

Upon viewing of tonight's episode, it seems my thoughts on this show are in fact bipolar. Visually speaking, I was watching this on a smaller 27" TV in my room (in comparison to the 47" in the basement I was using last week) and there's a MASSIVE difference in how I perceived the picture. Like...holy shit. I'll say it's because the proto-HD resolution holds up better when not blown up for a bigger size screen, but god damn this looked nice. Episode's much better than last (default since this episode's one of my favorites in SAC 1); more things going on, more action, an ending that finishes on a bitter note. Good shit. Just sucks how this show's first episode is such a flaccid bummer and there's many more like it in this series.

The heck? The show was made in SD. They must have filtered the living shit out of it for that then.

Then stop being fucking poor.

2/6/17's program now up on Soundcloud. This week: An In Memorium to John Wetton as we spend the program paying tribute to his work, plus new Pain Of Salvation and I suffer from crippling post-Super Bowl depression. [soundcloud] [/soundcloud]

Being this is gonna end like 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick anyways...

So anyone want to place bets on how long Zeni's sentence is gonna be after tonight? I say 10 to 15 years (life if he does indeed use a machete as a dildo).

"Hamon" (spelled "jamon") is how you say ham in Spanish. Your ignorance bleeds all over the boards once again.
