We'll try harder to pick a better font set next time. I think I'm glad we were able to do hard subs at all.

Too late to revive a 9 month old thread :V? I think there should be more jdrama review blogs/sites around. The more, the merrier. I also run one myself. My blog is very... bold.

Because no one has the final blocks for that file and if its older than two days, like I said, you're going to have troubles downloading it.

There's another useful software called "Sopcast" . Be diffrient from TVants,the Sopcast channels are all from OSAKA. 每日放送（TBS）sop://221.130.198.26:3920/1709 関西テレビ（富士テレビ） sop://221.130.198.26:3920/1707 読売テレビ（日本テレビ）sop://221.130.198.26:3920/1714 朝日放送（朝日テレビ）sop://221.130.198.26:3920/1708 WOW...

Considering majority of the cast is assuming Caucasian, and the world of FMA is based off of 1940s Europe -- a live action FMA would probably not work if it is done in Japan.

Some users on Utatane are basically distros, they provide raws without the need to request.

Being biracial, topics like this just baffle me. I mean, Why is it even a question?

This drama is slapstick humor, but its definitely a niche. That's the problem with parodies, unless you've seen the originals you will not get the parody. I think that's where its getting the Japanese audience confused: They were expecting wildin' out, crazy, pudding chasing building jumping kite fl...

From the Japanese fan blogs, people were expecting a MBMH and are pretty frustrated that the humor is lacking in that regard. As for raws, it hasn't appeared yet. No one is holding back on the western side, is just that the rippers in Japan haven't been ripping dramas. There's a lot of drama going o...

Japan have a lot of TV channels like TV asahi, Fuji TV, TBS, TV kanagawa, Tokai tv, TV tokyo. But all of those big channels are Terrestrial only.

My question is, how's the risk higher than uploading in another file format? Either way, its all illegal. Once they find the source they're gonna slam them with the charges.

Of course, but the people on 2ch were probably viewing at not from a television stand point, but from a " I'm watching this on my computer so I don't care I want it bigger ". Which is understandable, because I look at it from that aspect too. The only reason I would want 396p is if I was ...

@Ladymercury, I'm truly puzzled as to why you can't play 1080i .mp4's, but can play 1080i .ts (they're both encoded into h.264 - except for Akai Ito). Playing the .mp4 in VLC also studders/lags?

Well, I've been following the 2ch thread pretty closely and its resorted to bitter attacks, basically boiling down to the " The wankers need to stfu about the resolutions (解像度厨うざすぎ)" But I do have a feeling that 396p will be phased out. I mean, I don't even watch it anymore, I simply delet...

Hmmm but with low res mp4 files I don't have that issue. Ah well, w/e I was just testing out something.

Changing the extension isn't going to fix the problem. Its the codec used, my computer probably has problems playing x264. Its not the res, cause I can watch 1080i no problem. Its the codec probably. In MPC/WMP the audio lags behind the video. In VLC it plays, but it has instances where it "buf...

VirtualDub, for some reason VDubMod isn't developed anymore and the program doesn't allow you to encode audio streams... or my version doesn't. Virtual Dub -> XviD 2 Pass Encoding -> LAME MP3 Audio Encoding -> Job Encoding -> Done Oh and a written out avisynth script speeds up the process 10 fold.

I don't think the law is sketchy at all.

I don't think its a culture thing at all, because you'll watch a movie and there's an intimate kiss in it. Also, some dramas do have "kiss" scenes in it, not just a simple lip on lip at a weird angle and no movement. I think there's nothing wrong with a passionate kiss. Not all passionate ...

J Network Services is now dead because I got my refund for the services I paid for this month so I am going to safely say that they went bye bye.

It looks like J Network Services is out of business because I checked my bank account and I got a refund for this month's services.

Nope, no dice. But I have watched Cold Case dubbed in Japanese. Its interesting.

I think... it also depends on the drama. In Last Friends, the kiss scene ended up focusing away but it was a deep kiss with lip movement.

Good Luck!!, the final scene between Kou and Kimutaku, that kiss was also pretty passionate.
