  buying dvds
Posted by: akira - 03-03-2004, 09:56 PM - Forum: General Babble - Replies (16)

I am looking to buy some dvd sets and stumbled across this site.I am interested in finding people who have purchased from this site as to the quality of the product as the prices seem very good and I am wondering what the catch is. I am currently looking for "Irresponsible Captain Tylor", "Rahxephon" and "Serial Experiment Lain"

  To R1 or Not to R1
Posted by: kadrik0 - 03-03-2004, 03:48 PM - Forum: Anime Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi,

I love anime. Ever since i watched the Matrix, i a have been dying to see more of that type of action. It was after watching the documentry when it came to dvd that i learned it was inspired off anime and then my obsession began. The first anime i ever watched was Ninja Scroll and after that i was hooked. I started watching toonami back in the day when gundam, tenchi, ronin warriors, outlaw star, and dbz was on. At first i did buy r1's but only movies. I ended up buying about 30 r1 movies then it started to tick me off. I wanted to see more, not just movies but the series. It was then that they were taking off outlaw star and tenchi and i wanted them back. I started going to blockbuster, comic book stores, and ebay and then i found my calling. I was getting them cheap and i finally got my favorite series, tenchi r1. To my disappointment and to my wallet, the dvd did not have 5.1 dolby digital dubb and from then on i took a new stand to R1. I would not spend over $15 for any anime. I started buy new and not spending $30 at suncoast for a movie. I started to find sales but my first hk set was Cowboy Bebop. The quality wasn't perfect but good enough for me. After that i started buying anime in bundles seasonally. I made a friend on ebay and i now have alittle over 30 series. I have a new stand on anime. Why spend $20-30 on a fraction of an anime with very little extras, have dolby digital if it is a series, and not let you get that many animes. You can spend around $20 and get a full anime with 24-26 episodes and you may not get extras and no dolby digital but great quality. Better than new vhs and cd like sound. (all this depending on sets, some crap some good but if you just get fx or mi you should get a good average)

Animes are expensive. I prefer imports now. I don't have to download and i can afford them. We don't have the options to watch these like asians, we find out about these thru friends, pictures, or minute segment trailers. Then R1 companies have the nerve to ask for over $120 for something you have not seen before. If R1 companies really want our business, they should lower their prices to around $30-$40 for a normal 26 episode set. I know R1's have to pay licensing fees to both the original and us companies. That they have to package and recreate certain aspects but common. Buffy and Smallville can fit twenty-two episodes on six dvds and if you buy them from walmart.com you can get them around $45.

Don't they know teenagers are cheap. We don't want to be but if we have the ability to get A- vs A+ quality for less than 75% the price what would you do.

I know when people respond some will agree and some will disagree. For those in favor of r1s, you either are rich and can afford it but remember we poooooor folks. (who do the math and can outway the costs and are fine with the quality). I would prefer r1 because i know they are doing good and should be supported but not to that degree. I also want to repeat on the quality issue, it depends. Mac and Ac may have some junk dvds as do fx or mi. It depends on when they were made and both companies have highs and lows but fx and mi you do have to admit have the highest quality average. I personally haven't had very many complaints about fx or mi because i watch stuff dubbed and i know most imports have times where there are poor subs. I just can't get into action packed or comedy type animes where i am reading and can't watch the show and that is why i watch dubbed. (learned my lesson with yu yu hakusho 12 dvd sub madness)

Please post your opinions but don't be harsh and name call.

  Anyone know a good Cd Ripper?
Posted by: Batz Kage - 03-03-2004, 02:44 PM - Forum: General Babble - Replies (5)

I've tried two different programs, but neither rips the song very well, at the best setting (320kps) static feels the parts of the song that on the cd there's nothing, & it sounds like it's trying to play at the max volume my computer can handle, which results in the speakers making a drop out sound, but this is recorded in. Which the CD I'm trying to rip songs from is a Live recording (I think)
This is my first time ever ripping songs from a CD & I'm totally lost.
Anyone know a really simple program that can rip the songs just the same, or atleast without much difference than the CD copy?

Well, if you atleast read this, thank you for your time.

  Make Your Movie!!!
Posted by: DARK OSAMU - 03-03-2004, 08:41 AM - Forum: General Babble - Replies (1)

This was inspired by Kakois brother...

My movie would be a play on Gundam. It would be about Scottish Robots with kilts, and Bagpipes, and instead of a laser blade they'd have ShiLeLes (however it's spelled). They would fight Leon the Professional who rides on a Giant Bullfrog that has a chain gun mounted in it's mouth and spits Dumptrucks! The plot would be a hostile dictator (played by Val Kilmer) is hellbent on ruling the world so he hires Leon to take out the Korean Mafia and then systematically work his way into the UN. Scottland is called forward as the worlds last hope and George Clooney (played by Marlon Brando) hops into his Drunken Gundam to take back the UN before all hope is lost. The twist is that the leader of the UN, Nipplestwist MacHeimenbreakandbleed (played by Julia Roberts) is taken hostage and while she's being raped by the Dictators henchmen, they find out she is really a man. And not only a man, It's Pol-Pot reincarnated. Pol was using The Dictator and Leon as Puppets in his own skeem to dominate the world! Now George Clooney must stop TWO ruthless psychopaths from destroying society as we know it with the DRUNKEN GUNDAM!!!!
