azrael Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 Couple notes: -Keyhole TV and TVU Player neat little programs for watching Japanese (or international) programming streamed live. Yes, LIVE. You can watch your favorite anime (like Macross Frontier), drama, or variety show as it airs in Japan (or in some other country). A few things though, video and audio can be choppy depending on your net connection (faster is better) and whoever is streaming the video. These factors are things we, as users, may not have much control over. If you want quality and HD goodness, wait for the raws to show up. wolfx has started a thread for Keyhole TV here. If you have any problems with Keyhole or TVU Player, please post in that thread. Episode discussion goes in the episode discussion threads. Issues with Keyhole or TVU go in that thread. -Please remember to use spoiler tags for the first 12 hours. Not everyone can watch it live and good raws may take a while (as we saw with episode 7). -I will only list the last 5 or 6 episode threads. Unfortunately, we do have to move on. If you are looking for an previous episode thread, just follow the links in the first post and you will find the appropriate thread. Quote
Morpheus Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Reveal hidden contents Ninjin song by Ranka, soo cute Quote
MisaForever Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Oh crap, I just realized. It comes on at 10:00AM my time, not PM. EEP! Ok, well that's fine. Quote

EDIT: Thanks to Wolfx too, I forgot you provided the program, I'm getting people mixed up, lol.

Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Reveal hidden contents It would seem this episode, rather than ep.5 is the anime version of manga chap. 3 (or is it 4?). I wonder if we'll see the VF-1J? Well... just have to wait and see I guess, heheh. Edited May 22, 2008 by Master Dex Quote
Morpheus Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Reveal hidden contents Apparently Alto lost the earring, and Sheryl blackmail him to guide her to Mihosi. Shower fanservice !!! (Nanase, Ranka, Sheryl) Quote
Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Reveal hidden contents I feel sorry for Luca and his X-Gear... never let Sheryl use your stuff. Quote
BlueMax Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Reveal hidden contents The VF-1 is in hikaru's DYRL colors! Quote
BlueMax Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) I did not see the preview to next week's episode after the ending credits.... wierd... Edit... nevermind... saw it after some commercials... at least we'll have some action next week. Edited May 22, 2008 by BlueMax Quote
Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 BlueMax said: Reveal hidden contents The VF-1 is in hikaru's DYRL colors! Reveal hidden contents Yeah I noticed that too, but it just sits there, no VF-1 flying in the anime. From the looks of the preview for ep.9 we will see some action again next week, looking forward to that. Also looks like Ranka will me meeting our mystery Brera Stern seeing as he showed himself at the end of todays ep. That harmonica must be his signature thing. Quote
Morpheus Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Sheryl what are you doing? Reveal hidden contents http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Dro...eenshot_523.jpg Alto what are you doing?

Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Reveal hidden contents When I saw that second image during the show I had to think, what is Luca imagining, Alto's punishment or something worse? Quote
wolfx Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Luca's imagination is srsly http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/7184/lu...ginationng9.jpg Worse episode ever. Filled with eyecancer. But at least we finally get to know the Academy's curriculum. Reveal hidden contents Hmmm...no VF-1 piloting like in the manga? Next ep preview: Reveal hidden contents Klan x Mickhail episode. Quote
Morpheus Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) This episode is refreshing somehow, even when Reveal hidden contents the animation quality took a free dive lol. Ok, got to sleep now, I'm waiting for the HD raw in the morning, and probably over 10 pages on this thread Edited May 22, 2008 by Morpheus Quote
Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 This episode was pretty much a filler, but I can let it go. It did show us that Reveal hidden contents Ranka is now at Mihoshi and Sheryl can never be allowed to touch X-Gear. And it set up that Ranka and Brera Stern will be knowing eachother Quote

Reveal hidden contents Plenty of side boob this week. I sense nothing but jokes and innuendo in this week's discussion . Quote
wolfx Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 BlueMax said: I don't think anyone can argue in this case.... clear as day. Graham can. I didn't like how they Reveal hidden contents depicted Sheryl like she was such a dumb blonde this episode. Sigh. And looks like Brera might play the role of "mysterious transfer student" Klan apparently gets injured and shot by a VF-27 next ep. Quote

Brace for impact. I got a flight to catch tomorrow and i got only 3 hours of sleep. Thanks alot Frontier. Goodnite all! Quote
MisaForever Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Great, I can just imagine the nitpickers talking about nothing but the animation quality this week. *sigh* YAY!!! Chibi-Klan looks good in the next episode!! Quote

Chibi-Klan looks good in the next episode!! Perhaps we should steer the conversation into talking about the next episode preview . Then we avoid hearing why the animation wasn't very good this time.

darkrealmbahamut Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 This going to be a long week of complaining about quality. Yes it was no ep 7 but come on people they are keeping the money in our mecha pr0n. So long as the story is still up to snuff I can forgive a dip in animation. Quote

Phil K Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Of course, everyone who complains about animation quality have to show that they can draw 36000 frames in one week and that every single one is perfect in every way. Quote

MisaForever Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Well, I say again. Every TV show that's ever made is about content and story, not how pretty it looks. That's more important to me than how well something is animated. But enough of that. Quote
raymond Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Ah... the wait begins again... looks like its gonna be a while for the raws to pop up again. The guys who were arrested last week were probably responsible for sharing it in the first place. Quote
Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Most likely, for ep.7 we didn't get a good raw until Friday (USA time) after the episode was re-aired. So we may have to wait till tomorrow to get a good copy. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 that's too bad... just when something good finally comes along, this guys have to get busted... Quote

The guys who were arrested last week were probably responsible for sharing it in the first place. Not necessarily. They were responsible for a bulk load of anime shows, but the major groups releasing Macross F are still out there. They may be a bit more careful now and thus not quite so quick to release for fear of drawing undue attention to themselves... Quote

All I see is NicoVideo FLVs of some of the other shows that came on today. Things will probably be slow for the time being. Good thing it was a filler ep this week. Quote
LinxCrossq Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 It was a fun episode, a lot like some generic high school drama anime but still fun. I don't see anything wrong with animation, it's a different style but nothing like Aquarion ep 18, Samaurai 7 ep 7 or Gurren Lagann ep 4. Reveal hidden contents Ranka being ignored by Alto again breaks my heart. T_T Quote
