[Anime] GFF Anime Club

Alright I haven't seen any ideas here (besides Tails =I) and the people in the stream seemed to be up for the idea of watching Guu Deluxe and R.O.D TV so I guess we can do that. Any objections?

Also I still need a weekend show. Any ideas there?

How ya doing, buddy?

Tonight's show is cancelled due to work.

I might make it up tomorrow. Man...

Additional Spam:
Oh... shit worked itself out. The show must go on then!

although pack says to wait a bit and I still have to drive home

yeah we gonna start this shit real late tonight - sorry for the inconvenience

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This just means West-coasters have no excuse.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

aww, the one day i come home early because i have an excuse to.

oh well. Time to catch up on what I missed WAW yesterday!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha yeah you still showed up after the first episode even though I started super late. =')

Anyway sorry for passing out again (long day) but it's alright cuz I need rebroadcast last night after the episode order screw up for Guu Deluxe.

Additional Spam:
Current lineup is R.O.D The TV and Guu Deluxe. I have not quite decided what I want to do for the weekend. Really looking for people to throw out suggestions here and not me talking to myself all the time. =I

Otherwise I guess we could go back to Tylor and show the OVAs or perhaps some Gunbuster and then Diebuster (or whatever it's called~ GROOOOOOOVIN MAGIC).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm putting in my vote for Haibane Renmei and Hanada.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hi Shorty~ tnx for postin~

I'm not necessarily against running either of those two shows on the weekend but both of those were suggestions for slot 1 which is meant more for interesting/alternative shows. That said R.O.D The TV has been picked for slot 1 and it will be running for 26 episodes.

Here's my post again:

If people are enjoying Guu then the second slot can continue with the Guu OVAs which up the ante even more.

If people are enjoying the Read or Die OVA then we can watch the TV show which follows after the events of the OVA for the first slot. I must express that while good the TV show is not nearly as good as the OVA in my opinion.

Other possible shows for the first slot include:

Fantastic Children
Haibane Renmei
Hanada
Zettai Shounen
Freedom
Stellvia of the Universe

Running a blank here for what I want to put in slot 3 - the weekend show.

I'm open for suggestions. Typically I go with the first slot being for interesting or alternative shows, the second for light-hearted and/or comedies, and the third for awesome but usually it's been sci-fi. If you have suggestions for any of these slots please let me know. If you have any other suggestions for the show in general I'm all ears too.

Again slot 3 doesn't strictly have to be an awesome epic or space junk but generally it has been something of an awesome nature to that effect. I only mention this to keep things balanced. That said R.O.D The TV has an action adventure feel to it kind of like Cowboy Bebop which was in slot 3. Not that we have an excessive line-up of all comedy shows or all super serious or all woah wacky i'm trippin balls man but I'm just putting it out there that I like to have variety.

But I aim to please and if you guys want to watch a little boy help dead people or hang out with angels on the weekend instead of blasting holes through space and romping on an adventure with a crew of varied misfits then that's cool. Since R.O.D The TV fills that requirement to an extent I'd be fine with any of the shows from that list. Any other suggestions that I haven't listed that might be good?

FELIPE NO

Oh yeah, I didn't mean those two shows together necissarily. Those two are just the ones that pulled my interest at the time. =P I'm happy with either or.

I'm really liking the R.O.D series so far. I went to my local library and got a library card. (LOL)

All the anime shows I want to watch are from the 90's so I doubt it'll be easy getting them.

I'm anxiously waiting for Naoki Urasawa's PLUTO (adaptation of Astro Boy) to come out on animated screen. <333

If you guys are interested, Mizuki Shigeru series are available for bittorrent download (<3). It's a little old fashioned 80's animu about Japanese ghosts/spirits/goblins, but it might fit the "wierd/funny" category for sure. I have no idea if it's subbed or not, which would likely be the challenge.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Gegege no Kitarou has been remade a gazillion times. Not sure where to even start. Doesn't look like much has been subbed and lots of dropped projects.

Also shorty I know you didn't mean them together. My point is I'm not sure either of those two shows fit slot 3 (the weekend slot) all that well. Slot 1 is already taken by R.O.D The TV which is the slot I think they'd work better in. Not saying I can't mix things up if people want that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Since noone decided to really discuss this besides Shorty and myself I've decided to turn the weekend show into movie night for the time being.

Tonight we will be watching Yoshitaka Amano's 1001 Nights and Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis. It shall be a night for the arts! Don't miss it!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Alright I'm running a little late. I should start the show in like 30 min to an hour depending on traffic. More R.O.D TV and ending Guu Deluxe. See ya then~

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Starting very shortly. I'm actually almost punctual tonight! How about that~

Right! So more R.O.D The TV and starting Guu Final. You didn't think Guu was over yet did you? =E

Hope to see you in the stream~

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Bleh, going over to mom's tonight and doing laundry. I'll catch you guys on the archives~.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I need to catch up on doing archives. Sorry about that, Shorty.

In the meantime I'm totally hating myself right now so we're going to watch Melody of Oblivion which is in my opinion quite possibly the worst anime ever made. Be sure to tune in and suffer with me! I should be starting in 20 minutes. Be there~

Additional Spam:
Starting very soon now. This will truely be terrible. I am so sorry. So sorry that I will only be showing 4 episodes. Perhaps more tomorrow if you feel up the challenge.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Those 4 episodes were so terrible, it felt like 13 episodes.

I'd say that I don't know what to think about this, but I've decided that the best option is to not think about it.

Seriously, busbull.

FELIPE NO

A bus will never be the same. Ever.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm not going to be able to do anime club tonight. I could however do it this afternoon. I know it's not the usual time and a lot of folks might not be able to make it. I can either just not have it today at all or do it sometime this afternoon. What would you guys like me to do?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was able to make it and this is what I get, no Guu or sister-trio ;_;

Since I'm here, I might as well recommend some stuff for you to watch.
Photon, AIKa, Rocket Girls, and Votoms OVAs and and Airmaster and Strike Witches and Legend of the Galactic Heroes and

Spoiler:

why the hell is there a picture of Lordi/K-ON crossover

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I talked with lurks and after mulling over details I've decided it best to just take the day off. This works well enough considering there are two broadcasts left for Guu Final and since I won't be doing a broadcast next Thursday (Thanksgiving duuuh) I'd rather not start a new show in slot 2 for a week without a Thursday broadcast.

So schedule should be
This week:
Tuesday: Nothing
Thursday: R.O.D The TV, Guu Final
Weekend: Melody of Oblivion

Next Week:
Tuesday: R.O.D The TV, Guu Final
Thursday: Nothing (it's Thanksgiving)
Weekend: T.B.A.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

TIME TO ZOOOM ZOOOM VROOOOOOOM

show in like 30 min to an hour

WE DOIN THIS THING TONIGHT PREPARE YOUR FACES FOR ANIMATIONS FROM JAPAN

I was speaking idiomatically.

I will try to have a show tonight but I may have other obligations that get in the way though. I'll post in here again if I'm able to broadcast tonight.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh, I kind of forgot about today's potential show. I can't even recall what I even wanted to show either. I could possibly do it tomorrow whatever that show might be. SHOW SHOW SHOW SHOW SHOW SHOW SHOW

FELIPE NO

Instead of catching up on the archives I have been doing broadcast experiments. They are proving questionable. I have learned things but I am not quite happy with the results. Not yet anyway. The archives will happen eventually. Why do I procrastinate this badly? It is horrible.

Sorry about last week but family, Thanksgiving, and being sick got in the way. I think I've figured out what the next shows will be though. I'll have to draft out a schedule of some sort. Obviously I will have to make considerations for Christmas and New Years whatever day they fall on. Oh looking ahead they appear to both be on Saturdays. So perhaps I will have to move the usual Saturday show to Friday or Sunday or something if I'm not feeling particularly lazy.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Well I've done more testing and I think I'm ready to start doing high quality broadcasts (we're talking great audio/video quality and 30-60 fps, baby!). I'll be ditching livestream in favor of justin.tv.

I'm not entirely happy with this as justin.tv has an annoying logo in the corner but after watching a bunch of stuff it pretty much becomes background noise. Also the archives will not have the justin.tv watermark as that's just something idiotic they put in the embedded player and isn't actually recorded as part of the video you'll see later (whenever I get around to doing any of them - GAH!). Everything else in the player fades away, why they don't make their logo one of them I'll never understand.

Another thing is they have a 15 to 30 second video ad before you start playing. Now with ad-blocker plus with the EasyList (English) subscription in Firefox I've never once gotten an ad. However I also have a justin.tv account so that might be the difference between myself and say packrat who always seems to get them despite his having ad blocker plus.

The other annoyance of the justin.tv embedded player is it does not auto-start so you'll have to press the play button and it always has its volume at half despite my customizations which should work but don't. I don't know why justin.tv has to be such a dick about their embedded player but they are but it works well despite these small grievances.

I originally wanted to host all this on my awesome connection but it would seem I don't really have enough bandwidth to support such an endeavor (I couldn't count on streaming more than say 4 people on my server). Also with livestream gone so are the silly youtube videos that play when I'm not broadcasting live. I could always manually play a few silly clips before and after the show to compensate for this though.

However, change can be good and I look forward to seeing how well this works for you guys. Please let me know if you have any issues with the stream tonight. I'd really like to see as many folks as possible to get a good stress test and of course varied feedback.

Hope to see you tonight as we finish Guu Final and continue our romp through R.O.D TV. I'm currently looking into the future line-up. I'll have more on that later.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
