It's not that big for a 1080p FLAC release, except for movie 5 which has grain (also, ANE's version is 80 GB btw). Just get the 720p version, it's an upscale anyway. | ||

Sabagebu: Its ok, the appeal wears thinner and thinner with each episode but still has its moments. Nozaki-kun: AOTS. Ao Haru Ride: Meh not much motivation to keep watching since I already am reading the manga, which will be superior in almost all ways. But still animation, voices, etc for the characters are nice to see. Tokyo Ghoul: Dropped. Kind of sad that the Fairy Tail holdover is better then the vast majority of this season, and its currently covering one of the weakest arcs in the series. Liked all animes today, have yet to see Barakamon though and will probably like it as well. Tokyo Ghoul dropped and Nozaki-kun AOTS? o_O It's good, but there are better ones imo. Then again I even prefer Tokyo Ghoul over it so I guess it's a matter of what you like. Personally I feel like Fairy Tail is a cheap/bad anime, but I'm still watching it cuz I've watched it for so long. All of the nudity (bikini showings in almost every episode out of nowhere) in it feels so damn cheap and even without that it is rather weak compared to many animes. | ||

Pardon my ignorance on this subject, but I'm not sure how that contribute to bloating a ~90 minutes movie from 1.2gb to 9gb "[...] Sometimes, extremely small file sizes can actually contain very high quality video. It all depends on the show. Simpler animations don't require high bitrates, thus small file sizes. More complex animations that contain graining and dark scenes will require higher bitrates, thus larger file sizes. [...]" (from http://www.elysiumsubs.com/help/faq) There's a reencode of the fifth movie on nyaa without grain, not sure about the quality or whether it's still seeded. | ||

Speaking from personal experience, what do you think of the grain? I think it looks cool and I don't care about file size that much (especially considering this is how the creators wanted it to look like). I tried the dl and it seems to work at least in the beginning. If you were referring to nyaa saying it has 0 seeds, I think that might be bugged or something. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + It's certainly different from Nasu's other works. Standalone, it works well enough as a prologue to the series, and introducing the characters. Speaking of characters, Ryougi doesn't fall into the idiot (lovable) hero archtype that Tohno and Emiya has, so that's a plus | ||

She's also a better guy than emiya too. | ||

overly sentimental stuffs etc etc like wtf lol. it is not even a problem of piracy or not, is that we wont be able to watch/read manga/anime if they can ban or take down all the sources/sites out there lol. without fan translation groups for manga/anime, do we wait for their official translations that take ages to come out? not to say most of them are shitty in the first place (not saying fan translations are better but at least we get quicker release at acceptable level). Luckily they cant do shit to the sites located in US or china etc. | ||

The problem is that piracy is easier, more convenient and simpler for the most part. (Completely disregarding the money side of things) I mean steam is one of the reasons i stopped pirating games, because valve ended up giving me a service more convenient for me than pirating it. Sure the DRM can occasionally be annoying but overall it's a better experience. Not to mention a lot of the people that pirate are people that simply wouldn't be watching/reading/playing if piracy wasn't an option. They aren't lost sales because they wouldn't have bought regardless. | ||

They aren't lost sales because they wouldn't have bought regardless. Though I've used steam before, I dislike it. I'm old fashioned as in I prefer to have a hard copy with the box and all which steam eliminates the need for. Having said that, they do some have rather crazy good deals around holidays so that always helps in reel in new customers for them  As for piracy, I pretty much pay for every game I've ever played lol. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [EP 1-3] + Mao-neechan. Setting your friend up with someone so easily. What a player. Mao-neechan easily likable. I don't think i would even feel bad when she starts stealing MC-kun from the shy library girl later. I would feel bad for the Jazz-guy though if MC-kun is the one doing the cheating. Mao-neechan and him seems to be better fit for each other. and omg please remove this two girls who holds frogs from the show they are so annoying. Yup this may not be the most accurate for what i am looking for but more importantly the matchmaker is obviously the love interest and is pretty cool !! so all is well !! She is so likable that she is probably the easiest female love interest to root for. Well maybe not as easy as rooting for Senjougahara. Almost nothing beats her in that department. | ||

I can't say much but you'll see what I mean when it comes time for that. Shy library girl? you mean the rich one? | ||

Such a great episode, I wanted the scene on the roof to last the whole episode, couldn't stop laughing. Every character in this show is so genuinely likable and funny. The chemistry between all the characters is so great. Definitely one of my favorite of the season. Seo x Wakamatsu pls. + Show Spoiler [Akame ga Kill] + Also a great episode. Dat ear licking. Didn't see Sheele dying so suddenly, but wow. I love Seryuu's character, so crazy, so cool. I know a lot of people were hoping for her to join the night raid, but I think it's cool and necessary for the night raid to have opposition thats somewhat equal in power, and Seryuu is just so cool. I'm not sure what's up with Esdeath, but she seems cool too, and her Imperial Arms looks badass as well. | ||
