I was so bored I actually read this, knowing full well I don't intend to suggest anything.

Good on you in supporting the "Buy it to help it's economy". If you like it, help then out.

And yes, Funimation is relentless in their copyrighted media. But being the good people that they are, that's a good thing.

Any chance of doing Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo it's a good show.

No release of BD by anyone yet.

I would support Card Captor Sakura like the above too, but I guess the $ is a bit too much.

Gah Sorry about the above post, wrong place.

Thanks so much for these releases.

Okay here goes a far fetched suggestion - Card Captor Sakura .I know it doesn't fit your type of anime and also there was a crappy 'localized' version produced by nelvana . However i think Animax did a English sub that didn't cut and chop out bits.

Gah probably too difficult. I cant believe the BD price for these two boxsets for over a grand @_@

.... thought it might be worth a try :P.

Thanks.

2009-08-16T03:48:10.431-07:00

Well, I just saw a comparison and that sells it. I have changed the post above to refer to Evangelion, since it was the first thing that came to mind that was for sure a remaster.

That said, I've added Bebop as a future project.

Hmm, I've been told differently, but to be hon...

2009-08-16T03:37:10.305-07:00

Hmm, I've been told differently, but to be honest, haven't compared the R2 Bebop stuff to the Remix discs, and the only version I own is Remix. The only person I know that has anything to compare to has a shitty bootleg copy, and I'd be an idiot if I thought to compare bootlegs to an official release. I'll do some research into it.

2009-08-16T03:34:36.101-07:00

Just thought I'd point out, as someone who keeps up on the foreign disk scene (and imports far to many.)

We HAVEN'T gotten the remastered Cowboy Bebop.

We got the 'Remix' version of Bebop, which had cleaned up and 5.1 audio (hence the Remix in the title), the video itself is basically the same as the old disks. The remastered version is completely different, and far far superior.

Well, I'll be damned...I accidently stumbled across EG's "stie" while googling for something else. Here it is jazir5: http://eg.warywolf.net/egfaq.txt

2009-07-13T05:49:49.573-07:00

Thats because EncoderGasm does NOT have a site. I'm pretty sure its a 1-man job. The only way to get in contact with his is through IRC or look for RX78-2 on 4chan's /m/, he shows up there sometimes when a new release comes out.

im sorry, can someone please link to EG? i cant find a site for them anywhere. this isnt any hate towards you ozc, im not leaving, just seeing if they have any releases i want that you dont have ;)

2009-07-12T23:12:22.596-07:00

There's no rule that says more than 1 group can't release the same show, think of it as a little friendly competition. EG's releases were very good and I like that he puts a lot of work into them, but they're not what I'd call a "complete" package.

2009-07-12T22:06:05.332-07:00

Thanks for your hard work on Gundam Wing and the rest of your releases. I really appreciate your effort and commitment, especially for just being a one man gig and doing this out of your own free time. Keep up the good work, I'm sure many other people besides myself appreciate it as well.

2009-07-12T22:02:33.781-07:00

I guess I will add my $.02......
In all honesty if anime studios had in the dvd releases a digital copy of the episodes on the dvd, I would never be part of groups like this, I would also probably buy alot more dvds. although i would want the digital copies to better quality than most of the videos in the itunes store, those things look bad compared to the stuff I encode.....

2009-07-12T20:25:18.006-07:00

Well, I disagree about Funimation. They pay a lot of money for their licenses and I find that their DVD's are priced very fairly. Plus the fact that they release Blu-Rays, to me, because of the money they spend, they are entitled to "behave like assholes".

I don't particularly feel that I'm competing with EG and THORA because people who don't care about the dubs will already have their stuff and be plenty happy with it. However, I'm a fan of English dubs as well as the original Japanese, and so I want to provide a more complete version. I've said it MANY times before; I mostly do these for myself, and release them so that anyone who wants them can have them. I wouldn't care if I released something and it got one download or one million.

As for changing the subs, no problem. However, I only use .ass files, because SRT's don't support all the little effects and stuff I use. You should be able to adjust them unless you are transcoding them or something that is reconverting them to SRT.

Funimation is hunting people who spread their licenses like the SS the Jews.
>they are going to end up going the way of Geneon, or ADV
It is a real shame for Geneon, i bought stuff before they even released on dvds and used VHS.
Tenchi Muyo and so on.
I am not going to buy from Funimation because they treat peopple shit and are behaving like assholes in general.

But serious. I was wondering why you do Gundam Wing. EG made a superb version that i enjoyed. Same as with Outlaw Star. Code Geass and Gundam 00 are covered by THORA too.
Please don't misunderstand me, i don't want to criticize you. On the contrary i find it great that you put your time and nerves into making something for us dirty leechers.
It's just hard to compete against those well known groups.

By the way, thanks for your help with the changing of subs, it worked out. Just can't change the ass types only srt or something. Looking better but i am still left with ugly yellow subs.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for what you are doing. I stumbled across your site the other day and downloaded a few things, and have kept seeding them since yesterday (as they finished).

I don't plan on requesting any shows.

I have the Zeta box set and the Wing complete operations set. I had not got the chance to see any 00 episodes and had not heard of the Code Gaess series, but am interested to see what they offer.

If many of these shows were available in blu-ray format I would totally go buy them. I wish bandai would release them stateside since they have more than a few Gundam blu-ray releases over in Japan. Same goes for FMP! which I really like.

I was a big supporter of ADV until they went under, and really don't want to see any more of these companies go down. But being able to watch a few shows (Gundam 00 and Code Gaess I mean) before deciding to buy is a nice option.

I see it is mentioned on your twitter thinger, but it should be noted that rightstuff.com is offering 40% off MSRP (or more) on all (or most) of their Bandai DVDs with code "combat." I'm looking to pickup the SEED series and probably 00 too.

ok sounds cool.

Yeah, I'm adding some static links on the right in a bit once I finish getting the addresses..From now on, we'll be able to just point them to the links and tell them to read the policy page.

2009-07-12T15:02:40.768-07:00

this is GREAT!! is there anyway to keep it on the top? cuz if all the new people dont see it the way it is now i know they wont go searching for it. then the same issues will come back.
