03:54:35 [nathanbp]can you make a website that we connect to and it kicks mark out of the channel?
04:00:04 [Pipian]Yes
04:20:47 [nathanbp]hmm Dog Days is by the same person as Nanoha
04:20:50 [nathanbp]that's what I thought...
04:21:03 [nathanbp]and animated by the same studio
04:22:06 [nathanbp](Yes, you may take this to mean that I'm watching Dog Days. Yes Sam you may categorize it as "things that Nathan watches")
04:24:18 [nathanbp]Also this might be the first time I've gone "This looks a lot like that, I wonder if they're by the same people" and been right >_>
04:32:08 [StriderTol]Is there an official list of "things that Nathan watches"?
04:43:24 [Puyopuyo]No, there are only unofficial lists.

05:02:36 [gadgetgrl]hey, main girl in hanasuka iroha has jenn hair!
05:02:51 [gadgetgrl](does not mean i want to cosplay it...just putting it out there as that seems to be the common thought process)
05:03:09 [gadgetgrl](though jenn rarely goes with a show she chooses anyhow...for the record)
05:08:53 [AChes]-!- AChes has left #Cochineal [Quit: Quit: 'night fold]
05:15:13 [nathanbp]Mark: I suspect the list is something like everything on here that's harem or moe: http://anyoneeb.net:83/~nathanbp/animelist.php
05:15:13 [Sacchi]Nathanbp's Anime List
05:16:53 [nathanbp]Although there's probably some other things on the list of "things that Nathan watches" too...
05:18:00 [nathanbp]that reminds me I should update that list...
05:33:32 [nathanbp]time for sleep, 'night all
05:34:23 [Puyopuyo]Night Nathan.
05:37:33 [gadgetgrl]night

15:17:55 [Sacchi]Utena, Revolutionary Girl DVD Set 1: Student Council Saga (Hyb) Limited Edition
15:18:11 [Puyopuyo]Guess I'll get it because I don't own Utena and it looks like it's the Remasters.

16:34:50 [nathanbp|work]hmm I should probably buy that too...
17:07:06 [nathanbp|work]why is it 12 eps when previous Utena collections were in sets of 13 eps?
17:07:24 [nathanbp|work]doesn't the series split neatly along 13 ep boundaries too? >_>
17:21:18 [AChes|work]I belive it does
17:42:52 [Puyopuyo]Eh, Ep 13 is a recap.
17:42:59 [Puyopuyo]It does split nicely though, so I'm wondering what they're going to do.
17:43:14 [Puyopuyo]Ep 13 is Dios and Akio reviewing the first saga.
17:47:19 [nathanbp|work]oh right I forgot about the recap eps
17:47:38 [nathanbp|work]I'm trying to remember what the last anime I watched with a recap ep was...
17:49:25 [nathanbp|work]they seem to have fallen out of favor
17:50:07 [Puyopuyo]Long series have fallen out of favor too.
17:50:17 [Puyopuyo]Too expensive, and the industry is in a fade, so no real point.
17:50:34 [Puyopuyo]Unless it's an established shonen, you run single season series and if they do well, propose a second.
17:56:41 [nathanbp|work]Or magical girl/kids shows?
17:56:56 [nathanbp|work]I was pretty amazed to find out that Gosick is 26 eps
17:57:00 [nathanbp|work](is going to be)
17:57:15 [nathanbp|work]and Steins;Gate is scheduled for 26 as well I think
18:04:26 [Puyopuyo]How many 26 ep series get recaps?
18:06:36 [nathanbp|work]used to be that everything did?
18:06:43 [nathanbp|work]nowadays not many
18:07:59 [nathanbp|work]Although it depended on the type of show I guess, I don't think Cowboy Bebop or Sailor Moon got recaps?
18:08:22 [Puyopuyo]Aren't both of those entirely episodic?
18:08:30 [nathanbp|work]where as Nadesico and Gundam Wing did (and I think Eva too?)
18:08:31 [nathanbp|work]yeah
18:08:35 [Puyopuyo]And there were recap sequences for any important plot points.
18:08:48 [nathanbp|work]Did Outlaw Star have a recap ep?
18:08:51 [Puyopuyo]"You know that guy you liked? Totally part of evil group." *RECAP RECAP RECAP*
18:08:57 [Puyopuyo]Again, episodic.
18:09:01 [Puyopuyo]Pretty sure it didn't.
18:09:09 [nathanbp|work]I thought it had more of an overall plot?
18:09:11 [Puyopuyo]It did go over the Hot Ice Hilda sequence a few times though.
18:09:25 [Puyopuyo]Not really. Most episodes were "Make money, GO FOR THE LEYLINE!"
18:09:34 [nathanbp|work]True, I guess.
18:09:42 [Puyopuyo]Any important characters introduced or important events were recapped as necessary.
18:09:51 [nathanbp|work]There's a difference between 5 minute flashbacks and the whole entire recap ep experience though
18:09:54 [Puyopuyo]Such as the MacDougal brothers.
18:09:59 [Puyopuyo]True.
18:10:19 [Puyopuyo]Generally, during a recap episode, they manage to work some extra information in.
18:10:42 [nathanbp|work]Sometimes...
18:13:19 [nathanbp|work]ah Eva just had a half episode summary (ep 14)
18:29:04 [AChes|work]I've heard that gosick 11 is a recap, also that it's 24 rather than 26. But no idea whether it was supposed to be a recap all along. It's not a bad place for it I guess
18:30:15 [nathanbp|work]24, 26, whatever
18:30:27 [nathanbp|work]now I'm trying to remember if I watched Gosick 11 yet or not
18:33:46 [nathanbp|work]yeah I did. It's not a recap, IMO.
18:34:35 [nathanbp|work]not sure how anyone could really claim it is one
18:34:43 [AChes|work]I'm going to get to it tonight, that and Zombie 12, and I'm done with the winter season
18:35:12 [AChes|work]might have been 12, I was going to watch it anyway so I didn't pay too much attention
18:35:51 [AChes|work]well winter seaon aside from Madoka
18:36:45 [nathanbp|work]zombie 12 is out?
18:37:10 [nathanbp|work]I still need to watch Fractale 11
18:37:38 [nathanbp|work]and to decide what I'm doing about Wandering Son. Might just wait for DVDs to watch the rest (I've seen up to 6).
18:39:26 [AChes|work]I know there are Horrible subs of it, and I have a file that claims to be a doki sub from a while ago
18:39:52 [nathanbp|work]ah
18:39:58 [nathanbp|work]I'm waiting for Underwater's sub
18:40:01 [nathanbp|work]which is not yet out
18:40:20 [AChes|work]yeah, I kinda want to finish it up
18:40:31 [nathanbp|work]So apparently at least one former Eclipse fansubber got hired by Crunchyroll
18:42:03 [AChes|work]as far a wandering son goes, 10+11 is pretty busy and not all that clear, I'd probably say wait for the dvds, but I'd probably rewatch it all just to remember who people are
18:42:27 [AChes|work]nifty about folks getting into professional subbing
18:43:36 [Puyopuyo]On the downside, it's Crunchyroll.
18:45:50 [AChes|work]That said they seem to be best positioned to do nifty stuff, if the claim that dvd subs are restricted by the dvd spec is true.
18:46:17 [AChes|work]also although I don't use it, streaming has a lot of potential to be the right way to do it
18:46:56 [Puyopuyo]While you're right, part of my problem is how...half-assed Crunchyroll subs have a habit of being.
18:47:15 [Puyopuyo]They have about the same amount of time as speedsubbers, but their quality is poorer and I'm not sure why.
18:49:34 [AChes|work]yeah the potential is far greater than the reality
18:51:01 [AChes|work]it is quite puzzling, I wonder if they are having to spend a lot of time covering their asses, or if they are just being lazy as they are the only legal option
18:52:18 [AChes|work]any suggestion for a program to inspect large files ~1.25 gig?
18:53:46 [Puyopuyo]In what sense?
18:55:08 [AChes|work]I have these large apparently proprietay data files and I want to see if I can get at least part of them into matlab without having to fool around with their program
18:55:39 [AChes|work]I think the program they use has matlab as a back end so it might not be too hard
18:58:41 [nathanbp|work]You don't think Crunchyroll subs are getting better?
18:58:58 [nathanbp|work]UTW-Mazui said they're not doing Steins;Gate because the Crunchyroll subs were fine
18:59:41 [nathanbp|work]and all Underwater does is edit/re-time/add song translations to Crunchyroll subs
18:59:45 [Puyopuyo]Hrm. I think standards are getting lower.
18:59:51 [AChes|work]I honestly didn't think they were terrible when I watched a few eps of Durarara on it
18:59:59 [Puyopuyo]Some of the translations are better. Some of them...really, really bother me.
19:00:15 [nathanbp|work]well, that's true of fansubs too...
19:00:19 [Puyopuyo]Yup.
19:00:24 [nathanbp|work]how many quality fansub groups are left?
19:00:26 [Puyopuyo]But unlike there being only ONE source, I tend to have options.
19:00:30 [Puyopuyo]Very few.
19:00:31 [AChes|work]I jsut really don't like the streaming, and tend to like a less localized style than they do
19:01:03 [nathanbp|work]How many shows actually got subbed by more than one fansub group anyways?
19:06:38 [AChes|work]as in translated, and not just retimed/tweaked? no idea
19:06:48 [AChes|work]a little hard to tell too
19:08:47 [nathanbp|work]I mean it seems like every season one or two shows get a bunch of fansubs and the rest get none
19:09:05 [nathanbp|work]well more like "got" since nowadays everyone just steals subs from streaming sites >_>
19:09:32 [nathanbp|work]I dunno what isn't being simulcast now...
