Anime mumblings. (I've been sick, can you tell?)

Apr 10, 2009 20:47

Just finished watching Tytania. I liked it a lot, although the fleet tactics kept making me wince. I also found the ending quite weak; it seems to confirm the concern I had waiting for the series to get moving faster that, as space opera, it was intended to keep going and going. Also, as I believe I've mentioned, love the OP ( Read more... )

Would watch Hayate!! with ads? Funny you should say that.

That looks interesting, but WTF is it? It doesn't actually say anywhere. (Unless it's in the Flash somewhere.) Is it actually an ad-supported Internet TV station?

That's exactly what it is. An officially-sanctioned YouTube for licensed anime. If you pay $x per month you can watch stuff an hour after Japanese audiences do, and at higher resolutions. AnimeNewsNetwork's been streaming officially-sanctioned stuff too, as have several of the DVD companies directly. They've finally clued in on a more effective way to combat fansubs. It's an interesting concept! Though as the VP of an anime club I'm actually a little worried, because I have to run the videos at screenings while offline. Also the video quality is... well, it's not crap, but it's not a DVD-rip fansub.

Yay for Strike Witches silliness. Also, recently finished Maria+Holic, Maze Bakunetsu Jikuu, Rideback, and Dennou Coil. Should I watch Gekijouban Kara no Kyoukai or try Gunslinger Girl 2 again?

I am upset both that I either didn't know or had forgotten about Gunslinger Girl 2, and that .torrents thereof are proving somewhat elusive. I will have to investigate further...
