New Dubs

Just figured I'd add this.  Got some news on a bunch of series (both classic and moderately new) which I've heard are going to be English dubbed in the near future (some this month it appears).  I'm not a fan of all of them (such as Rosario + Vampire), but I do know people who are fans of those.....so I included them.

The list is up along with links to ANN (Anime News Network).  I'll update as I know they are released.

New anime and misc news

Alright the Winter 2011 season has started.  This should be interesting.  Just glad I didn't miss it.  Got stuck in a hospital for a week, so I was worried I would miss the start.

Also, for health reasons I'm stopping manga cleaning for awhile (possibly permanent).

One more week for new anime

That says it simply.  The new season of anime in Japan starts in about a week.  Some of the new series look very interesting.

*Ore no Imouto seems like it may be a pretty useful comedy about otaku little sisters who hide it.
*MM! makes fun of masochists I believe.  Some people may also know it from the name Emu Emu!.
*Fortune Arterial appears to be vampire drama....probably somewhat comedic.
*Sora no Otoshimono Forte.....well enough said to look at it.  It's the sequel to Sora no Otoshimono so you should watch that one first.  It really is hysterical.  It's also known as Heaven's Lost Property or Lost Property of the Sky.
*To Aru Majutsu No Index II I'm not really sure of yet.  It's the sequel to To Aru Majutsu no Index so you may want to watch that first.  It is also named Toaru Majutsu no Index which really is no change except for a word divided into two.

Next week they two of those start.....the rest follow after.

Hajimete no Aku Volumes

Okay I typically hate reading manga by the chapter when I go back through.  I also prefer storing them by the volume.  It saves with less files lying around and also less space.

I'm involved with the series Hajimete no Aku and there were hardly any volumes made so I decided to go ahead.

In this folder there are volume 1 through 5 of the series.  I was not involved in anywhere near all of them.  It's also from a bunch of different groups.  But since I combined them for myself I figure I should post it for everyone as well.

Snow and fun time

Okay I got my Snow Leopard upgrade for my mac.  It has solved a lot of problems for me in 24 hours.

One of these was that I was constantly having router issues.  Some software for this was available for snow leopard+.  Now that I got it I scanned the wireless signals in my area.  Too many overlapping channels.  Now I just change my channel when needed.

But most importantly I can finally use ordered chapters.

So far I like this upgrade.  I wonder what else I will find.

Oh and I found out the manga titled "Freezing" which I like will be having an anime series produced (2011 I think).

Oh and while it may not sound interesting, check out these two shows from this season.  They are hysterical.
Seitokai Yakuindomo
and
Mitsudomoe

They are both really good comedies.  Stick with it and you WILL be laughing like all hell.

Ordered Chapters in Anime

The advent of this is both good and bad.  It's good for file size......but bad for those of us mac users who haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard.

Why is this?

The only software for a mac which uses this correctly is MPlayer OSX Extended.  And that is only with an extra binary installed......THAT ONLY WORKS WITH 10.6 (Snow Leopard) OR LATER.......NOTHING EARLIER.  NOT EVEN 10.5.8.

I want these movies that are good quality.  But the good quality ones all seem to be using ordered chapters now.  I've started re-encoding them for myself removing the chapter markers.  But this is only temporary.

Originally I wasn't going to bother getting the upgrade since all my software works fine and all.  But now I'm actually going to scrape out the cash for an upgrade.

Ch67 Done.....now for 70

Okay Hajimete no Aku ch67 has been finished.  I submitted it for QC and should probably be up in a few days.  Now I'm working on ch70.

Someone else is working on ch69.  They should be taking over the odd number chapters, so they'll be a regular.
