Anime

[EmmZ]

Sorry, I have no idea what that means.

[KernNeart]

its an anime movie..

[EmmZ]

Awesome, I loved Spirited Away and I've just bought Howl's. I'll give it a watch, although I do prefer animé with a bit more sex and violence, or GITS type convoluted plot line.

[KernNeart]

well if your a sex and violence is your forte i unrecommend kiki's delivery service.. lol.. its a kid anime.. i watched it when i was like 13.. lol

[Shogun]

Gundam, and Code Geass rules!!! I also enjoy Macross

[Omega133]

Has anyone in here heard of Escaflowne? It's an older anime movie. About the same time as Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.(1995)

[Shogun]

I just noticed that most of the animes I watched are made by Sunrise.....

[draqon]

This is for any fan of Fullmetal Alchemist. Do you believe in the theory of equivalent exchange?

F.A is a pre-teensy manga.

[Shogun]

yeah well that company is fully fledged ...

Fully agree. The Sunrise animes I watched are Mobile Suit Gundam SEED/Destiny, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam OO, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. Sunrise does a lot of original stories rather then remakes of manga. When I see the Sunrise logo, first thing that comes to my mind is "Gundam".

[Char]

Has anyone in here heard of Escaflowne? It's an older anime movie. About the same time as Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.(1995)

Yeah Iv seen Escaflowne, but the one I watched was a series, it had a mech that transformed ino something similar to a dragon right?, anyway I was asking on the other thread whether anyone had heard of School Rumble, but sadly no one had, so Im asking here has anyone watched it or am i the only one who has?

[Shogun]

I've heard of School Rumble but always thought it was by Sunrise.

[Char]

I've heard of School Rumble but always thought it was by Sunrise.

Lol I know you have , I meant anyone else

[Shogun]

Mobile Suit Gundam OO: A Wakening of the Trailblazer is the name of the Gundam OO movie coming out this year:

Here is the trailers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0WNe6BrTbc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgfoGfC067U

So here is the Gundams and their pilots:

GNX-803T GN-XIV ( the successor of GN-X, used presumably by the Federation forces )
GN Flag II ( this time it actually works, it is piloted by Graham Acre )
GN-010 Gundam Zabanya ( Lockon Stratos' Gundam )
CB-002 Raphael Gundam ( piloted by Terria Erde, and yes he does comes back obviously as seen from the trailers, but I didn't expect him to just materialize )
GNT-0000 00 Qan(T) ( Sestuna F. Seiei's Gundam, it is spammed with 0s )
GN-011 Gundam Harute ( Piloted by Allelujah/Hallelujah Haptism, and yes as seen from the trailers he and Marie/Soma comes back to Celestial Being, Allelujah is my favorite Gundam Meister )

Here is all the details I know:

The Federation is planning something weird, and the Innovators are behind it. That something is a list of potential Innovades, Innovators.

The Federation wants to get Marie/Soma back. She is the only "successful" Super Soldier so she probably could potentially be a Innovator, she have every ability they have except for contact with Veda.

It appears that Nena Tirnity and Ribbons Almark is back.

Graham Acre is with Celestial Being, being the only Gundam Meister with a normal childhood. Sestuna was a child soldier for Ali Al Sachess, Lockon's family was killed in a terrorist bombing in Ireland, Allelujah/Hallelujah was a "failed subject" of HRL's Super Soldier program, Marie Parfacy/Soma Peries was paralyzed for most of her childhood, and was the only "successful" Super Soldier. Speaking of which, Marie is the only female Gundam Meister.

I presume it is going to be about the events that happened 80 years ago on Jupiter, and Celestial Being will be trying to make new GN Drives, and there will be a special GN Drive. Judging from the title "A Wakening of the Trailblazer" I assume the trailblazer refers to GN Drives

Here is the translations for the first trailer:

* Innovator: “I’m going. Don’t you want to know the true strength of an Innovator? Of course, I'll show you as you please.”
* Unknown Voice: “Veda accumulated data on the world through the Innovades. We are supervising and controlling them.”
* Unknown Voice: “Commence particle missile attack upon reaching the [designated] point as per Plan D34.”
* Lyle:“You’re slow. Even though you’re an Innovator.”
* Marina: “I want to deepen our understanding of each other and search for the best path. Not by opposing each other, but through talking and understanding.”
* Allelujah: “It’s alright. Swinging by from time to time isn’t bad.”
* Nena 2: “The Federation Government’s secret data: it’s data on the citizens who have strong QBW and the factor to become Innovators.”
* Setsuna: “Ribbons Almark!?”
* Allelujah: “They’re targeting Marie!? Why!?”
* Billy: “Diet member [Klaus] Grad, make a proposition to the congress that they be forced into a QBW isolation institution.”
* Sumeragi: “Tell him how you feel. Yeah, that’s necessary to understanding each other.”
* Setsuna: “I don’t get it, I really don’t get it.”
* Lyle: “Sorry, your fun holiday is over.”
* Nena 2: “I wonder if you’ve read the materials I sent you? Mister Innovator.”
* Sumeragi: “These are the dialogues to come…”
* Setsuna: screaming in pain
* Lyle: "Setsuna!"
* Hallelujah: “What are you doing!?”
* Tieria: “We Innovedo have decided to walk alongside humanity. For that purpose!”
* Graham: “I couldn’t bear it any longer, BOY!”
* Setsuna: “Roger. 00 Qan[T], Setsuna F Seiei, heading out!”
* Setsuna: screaming

Here is more details:

I am going to post news about anime mainly the mecha ones.

I posted that on the Best Anime Series thread, I am just spreading the word to Gundam fans. I can never get enough of Gundam.

[Shogun]

I am going to try to start an anime fansub group. Its a group of anime fans that produce free subtitled anime in all different languages
Here are the requirements:
-Is very interested in anime
-Is interested in fansubbing
-Its volunteer work since it is FANsubbing, we will be doing it for free
-Completing the work on schedule
-Be dedicated
-Complete your portion on time

Those are the only requirements, but having a decent computer also helps. I need a good enough Japanese-English translator, I can do the Chinese-English parts ( I know a bit of Chinese, basic level and I mastered Kanji so I am qualified ). I also need a typesetter, an editor ( for the English parts ), a karaoke maker, a quality checker, and possibly a translation checker if you qualify. Everything besides translator and translation checkers are open for all that want to join, and you don't have to have the skills yet. I can do the encoding and the timing ( including karaoke timing ). It is a great opportunity to learn japanese and subtitling skills. We also need people surfing the internet for Japanese RAWs ( Japanese dub with NO ENGLISH SUB ). We will first practice a bit then I will need someone to start posting the vids after a while. I will make the website. After I got the members I will start doing votes for the animes we are subbing...I will also like some people that is fluent in multiple languages, we can sub in different languages , but we have to do japanese-english, then english-( the language ). And unless you can find another person fluent in that language, you have to do the editing yourself.

Quote from http://www.inpforums.com/%5Binp%5Dfa...tutorials.html

Fansub positions tutorials

I said that I'd put up a tutorial for those who wants to help with Fansub. And people have been asking me what kind of process an episdoe has to go through before we can release it. So first of all, I'll put up a short description of each position of Fansub and the processes involve.

Translation:

As the position says, you have to translate from Japanese or Chinese to English. Your English grammar doesn't have to be perfect. You also don't have to be a native language speaker either. As long you know the language well enough to convey to us what is being said in each episode, then you're okay. The estimated time for you to translate an episode would be about 3 to 6 hours. So yes, it can be frustrating. If your language skill is above a certain level, then you'll be qualified as a translation checker.

Timing:

After the translation is done. The episode has to be timed. It is a process in which you decide when for the subtiles to appear in the episode. In my opinion, it's the most tedious job in all of the position, but Hyrrokkin said he has fun doing it. Anyway, it would take about 1 to 2 hours max for an experience timer to time an episode. Takes 5 or 7 hours more for new timers. More information about timing will be provided in the timing tutorial section.

Translation Checker:

Now the episode is translated and timed. So basically it's a translation checker's job now. As a translation checker, you have to be fluent in the language. Your job is to correct any translation mistakes, provide any translation notes, and talk to editor about sentences that might confuse the editor or the fans, etc. Though you're just watching the episode, it could take you about 1 to 2 hours to get the job done cause you have to do some research some time.

Typesetter:

A typesetter is someone who chooses the font to use for subtitle. Sounds easy, eh? They are also the ones responsible for setting the positions of how the subtitles should appear in the episode. For instance, where to place the translation of sign, episode title, translation notes, etc. It's your job to go through the episode 1 or 2 times to look for any signs that translator and/or translation checker might miss and make sure all of the lines are typesetted. It would take about 1/2 to 1 hour for you to do this job since sometimes many different fonts have to be used. More information will be provided in the typesetting tutorial section.

Karaoke Maker:

Yes, the position which I love the most and best at! Your job is to make karaoke for any opening, ending, insert song. You're also the one responsible for making the attack effects. Nothing else to say beside it's the most exciting position in all of the fansub position.

Editor:

Must be fluent in English. Even everyone type in English here, you'll be surprise at how many people there is who can do it correctly. Your job is to proofread the script and correct any grammar mistakes. You're also responsible for fixing any timing errors, typesetting errorrs, etc. In other words, your job is to correct any mistakes you can find in the script! So you're the one that finalize the script before sending it to the encoder. So yes, you're the first one to get to watch the near perfected episode before anybody else.

Encoder:

I don't have anything much to say about encoder beside they are someone who encodes the subtitle to the raw episode. Take about 8 hours or so depending on your computer speed.

Quality Checkers:

The lucky guys who get to watch the release before anybody else. Your job is to watch the episode and complain if there's any problem with the episode. If there's a problem, then talk to the ones responsible and ask them to correct it. Then encode again. If there's no problem, then our fans will have a new release.

If you are interested PM me. I am taking 8 members max. for the start, and after a while, I will start taking a lot more people to start training them. I haven't decided what the name will be, I will when we have the group. I have some experience in fansubbing, I was a timer, I quit after a while because the animes we subbed started to get crappy. Don't worry, I will make sure we get to sub everyone's favorites.

[Hapsburg]

Ugh. I hate fansubs. It's killing the industry here. It's because of them that anime has declined as a profitable medium in the United States. It's no better than internet piracy.

[Shogun]

Ugh. I hate fansubs. It's killing the industry here. It's because of them that anime has declined as a profitable medium in the United States. It's no better than internet piracy.

I quit doing it for a few months, because I got bored of it lol.

[Believe]

@Omega133 I also love escaflone, and their is the movie and the TV series, both of which are great

[Cavalier]

I'm always up for a good anime. Does anyone have any recommendations for anything newer than 2010? The only relatively recent ones I've seen are Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (loved it), High School of the Dead (entertaining, but the fan service ruined it for me) and Steins;Gate (still watching, but would say that it seems to be picking up nicely post episode 12).

For me, I am not such a fan of what I would call the "unreasonably long" animes, like Naruto, Dragonball Z, Bleach, Inuyasha and One Piece. Entertaining as they can be, no one is going to go back and watch hundreds of episodes just to get caught up. My favorites tend to be contained to under 100 episodes telling a complete story, like Hell Girl (first season only), Full Metal Alchemist (the original or Brotherhood). Boccano!, Elfen Lied, Berserk, Escaflowne, Ergo Proxy, Death Note, Monster, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, the various Ghost in the Shell stories, etc.

[Snocrash]

I watched Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Ninja Scroll back in the day, and well nothing seems to live up to those movies these days. So can't really say I'm a big fan of this genre anymore.
