This season is a bust
Farix
fall, whenever I determine which anime series to continue following
after the first couple of episodes, I ask myself, "Will I buy this if/
when it is licensed in the US?"
The answer to ever single one of them was "No". So I've struck out
completely for this season. This is the first time since I've started
downloading fansubs that I've when a season without following one
series. It will be kinda dull for the next few months.
However, let me go list some of the one I did like, though not enough
to make the buy list:
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
Nyan Koi!
Most of the rest that I previewed was just meh. I was particularly
disappointed in Kobato. since I've liked CLAMP's other works, but I
just couldn't get into this series. It was simply meh! on top of meh!

When your subject stated "This season is a Bust" I naturally assumed that
you were referring to the girls in "Fairy Tale", "Sora no Otoshimono", "Nyan
Koi", and so on and so on... <g>
(Dave Watson will need a lot more space on his BUF website to include this
season.)
BTW - With episode 4 of Sora no Otoshimono I am starting to think that we
may well have found the "Urusei Yatsura" of the 21st Century, at least as
far as a perverted protagonist goes.

I'd buy Nyan Koi! I guess. Maybe Kimi ni Todoke.
But I do think this isn't a very strong season. If I go back to the fall
season of last year I see a few series I'd certainly buy. Casshern Sins,
Kannagi (which is readily available), Toradora! and Michiko to Hatchin.
This year's spring season was my favorite with a few would-absolutely-buys:
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2 (I
didn't dislike Endless Eight as much as some of you did), Pandora Hearts
and maybe: K-ON! and Saki.

Agreed! Actually, though, I'm rather happy about this result, since
this is the first season in a long time in which I can finally take
some time off from most of the anime and pursue some other endeavors,
such as writing. I no longer feel guilty about missing anything,
since there's finally nothing worth watching.

Dude... even Winry is starting to bust out. Did you see her rocking that
tank top in Sunday's episode??? And with the zipper so invitingly placed...

Don't know. I'm rather enjoying Railgun, myself. I'd say it's as strong a
showing as a top-three series in any other season. And Nyan Koi is amusing.
But the old tropes are really starting to wear thin, from anime to anime.

Dude... it's Clamp. Somebody will die soon. Relax.
As far as the rest of the season, I think there's a lot to enjoy. I'd
hardly consider it a bust. Busty, yes, but not a bust.

I reckon that the producers of FMAB are taking notes from One Piece--show
the young female lead noticeably developing over time and watch the male
fans follow.
I need a lot more discipline to get back into updating Being Upfront. My
leeching habits can be best described as seafood diet (I see food, I eat
it), with the only notable exception being video games, since I don't play
them (but I'll have CG captures from some certain types, nudge, wink).
I've applied to do some writing about anime as a way of forcing myself away
from the extra shit by necessity. I have to add that I'll have to go over
the whole thing again because two big companies closed up shop since the
last posted update (Geneon USA, CPM). Thank Belldandy I saved my Xenu link
checker program, since it doesn't look like it's available for download

wanting coffee if I have to wake up earlier than I really want to), this is

I love Railgun. I just got the 3 mangas from Japan on Monday. It was
waiting for me when I got to the office. I am watching it in HD on the WD
HD TV player. One of the best ways to go. The second and third episodes
are not what I expected after watching the first 2.

The first DVD is great. I need to order the second one. It never did show
up at Best Buy. Only a Right Stuff release.

That turned out to be great overall. I still don't think it will be an easy
sell, but over all a good show.

One of my favorites. I love K-ON!. I have the 2 mangas. The Kinyokias in
LA just stocked up about 6 weeks ago.

I agree, this season is underwhelming.
There isn't a single new anime that I immediately want to watch right
after downloading it.
The most entertaining series for me are Railgun, Darker than Black 2,
Kimi ni Todoke, Nyan Koi and Seitokai no Ichizon. But none of them I
would define a masterpiece.
Fall season? More like FAIL season! -_-

I now have 4. All 4 are holding up wonderfuly. The power supply is the
same as that on the My Book exteranl drives. When I am in a hurry, I just
put the episodes on a flash drive and go. There are some sub files that it
can't play the audio for. There is a WD HD TV NET just out with a network
interface and faster CPU avalable. This one should be able to play the
audio that the regular non networked one will not. It is $20.00 more on
Amazon. I do not have one yet, but will get it by the new year. I suspect
it will be the replacement for the current one once stock runs out. I would
not get the WD TV mini as it is almost the same price with out the HD
capability. I have completly stopped burning DVDs to watch on the AVI DVD
players I have. It is not worth the effort now with the WD player. Best
part is the support for MKV files. There are also number of people hacking
the WD HD TV players. That is the primmary reson why I have 4.

Weird... The summer season preceding this one was wall-to-wall turkey
by comparison with several of the new series that started recently. I'm
watching (regularly) ...Railgun, Kimi no Todoke and Sasameki Koto and
looking forward to each new episode as it is released. There's also the
Natsu no Arashii sequel which is tolerable if not as smartly written as
the first series. If that isn't enough there have also been two special
episodes of Hidamari Sketch x365 and any season with Yunocchi and co. in
it is a GOOD season as far as I'm concerned. The only thing that would
make it even better would be a new series of Aria (nah gah nah happen,
is it?).
Is it that there is a severe lack of Heavy Metal this season? Nothing
like Gurren Lagann or Code Geass etc.? I admit mecha shows are not to my
taste but I know that it defines anime for some folks. Never mind, there
will be another Gundam toy advert^W^W anime series along soon.

I picked up Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Aoi Hana, Taishou Yakyuu Musume, Canaan
and Bakemonogatari (which I still have to watch beyond the second episode)
but overall there wasn't much to like that season.

Well, Summer has fewer series airing. It is usually the weakest anime
season but I think that Summer '09 was exceptionally good.
Among the five titles you mentioned, there are four that rank from
Very Good to Excellent in my book (I didn't watch TYM). Also add Spice
and Wolf II to that list.
This Fall? I see a whole lot of averageness but nothing that stands
out.

So fall on Japanese TV is a lot like fall on U.S. TV... 4Kids has
resorted to TMNT (post-2003) reruns, Yugi-oh reruns, and crappier
episodes of Dinosaur King and Chaotic:MI. I actually miss Digata
Defenders now. That's sad.

Have you posted a official gradebook of series yet?

If the networks were smart, they'd be broadcasting some of the 'grittier'
series (ie Daria, Downtown, Courage, Batman:TAS; Duckman, Spicy City) in
the appropriate time slots.
Then again, 'The Batman' is still in the belfry. 9_9

Believe it or not, I was able to discover some new favorites (and a *lot*
of hidden treasures) on that site due to some generous posters.
The fact that it bypasses 'political boundaries' should give the studios
cause to rethink their marketing strategy.

What I posted doesn't seem to be a lot different from when I post from

What is the "reference header" that was dropped? And what are "comb

Unfortunately, a quick look my copy of Xnntp (which I downloaded the
other day to look at) shows it's lacking the feature which would make
it easy to point it out :) Using Thoth, I can "show details" on a post

No, I have no idea what you might have done to add it. Maybe its a bug
in Xnntp when it first signs on to a server but it will now be fine.
We'll have to see. (the app does seem limited, not doing Binaries for
example although that's not an issue for many ^_^)

MT-Newswatcher would be my choice, although it is old school and may
not be to your taste. Maybe Thunderbird, although I haven't tried it.
Personally I don't like the all in one window newsreaders: give me one
window for groups, one for each opened newsgroup, and one for each post
I open so I can put there where I want them on screen :)

After two weeks of Win7, minimal features are the least of my worries. I'm
more interested in "does it do what I tell it to, when I tell it to?"
"Spartan" would be a blessing after Win7's "rebellious teenager" act.

Each Usenet posting has a (more or less) unique Message-ID (MID). When
you reply to a message, your newsreader is supposed to take References
and MID from the message you replied to, append the latter to the
former, and put it in the References header of your response.
Newsreaders can then use the information from that header to construct
the threaded message overview.
However, as Invid Fan already noted, the References header was present
in this posting, so I'm not sure what went wrong with your first one.
> And what are "comb quotes"
You get comb quotes when a newsreader breaks trailing word(s) of long
lines into new lines:
> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse
suscipit,

instead of either leaving the quote alone, or doing proper paragraph
formatting:
> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse
> suscipit, nibh id semper imperdiet, leo ante eleifend quam, eget
> posuere lorem felis non massa. Praesent vitae mauris magna, nec

Since you're coming from Windows and seem to be accustomed to OE, I'd
second Bobbie Sellers' recommendation of Thunderbird.

It was one of the email/newsreader combos, so I didn't pay attention to it in
your list, and thus it didn't ring a bell when bliss mentioned it. Once I went
to the website and saw that it was a combo I decided not to try it because I am
happy enough with the Mail that came with this Mac.

Being accustomed to OE, and wanting something similar to OE are too

I'm enjoying all of the non-Windows things about my Mac so far, so I want

That's true, I'm using Thunderbird on a PC because Vista deleted my OE
when I upgraded XP to be able to then upgrade to win7. Since I tend to
use a program like Thunderbird just as it comes, (I seem to be too
simple minded to turn on or off options, I have found that Thunderbird
does not maintain the integrity of threads as OE did. The replies are
quoted, and a colorful line on each side of the message window
delineates the individual messages, but in the upper window that
displays the messages that have been received, it seems to be sorted by
receipt time, and I can't seem to find how to change it.
Inu-Yasha
Feh!! ^_^
Inu-Yasha
Well right after sending this, I tried the sort command, and found my
selection was unthreaded instead of threaded, I changed that, and whoa,
the messages are sorted by thread. I'm so happy I could cry, sob, sob.
I certainly made a fool out of myself.

Then perhaps you should give MT Newswatcher a try. Its interface is more
Mac-like than Thunderbird's, although I find Thunderbird's configuration
more straightforward in some respects.

Date Header or the Sender Header at the top of the window full of messages
below the tool bars. This lets me sort several ways to find OPs and the

Hi Bobby, does the WD tv player support softsubs on mkv files? I'm not sure
if they are .srt files or not.

Hi Gio, Yes when the sub is in an MKV contianer, I can turn the subs on and
off if the file was setup that way. Some of the fan subs still embed the
subtitile into the video even when using MKV containers. Those cannot be
turned off. I have not tried to use a separate subtitle file yet with it so
I can't aswer if it can run that way. One neet thing on the subs is the
ability of the unit to change the font thickness used as well as the line
around the font. Some times that helps as the fonts are very small. I wish
the size was selectable as well. A VLC type of font would be better yet.

Thanks for the heads-up. I ordered one tonight, hopefully it'll arrive this
weekend so I can test it ;)

Did you get the original or the networked version?

The original, I compared the two and the things I want it to do is present
on the non-networked version. Since my router is also not quite present
where my tv is a network connection wouldn't really be practical too. Now
I'm only contemplating buying a WD external disk, but I think a 8 GB usb-
stick will do just fine at first.

Just keep in mind that some audio codecs are not supported. WD did not buy
one of the licences on the non net version. Every once in a while I run
accross a series in HD that I have to use the XVID or AVI to watch it. Also
some times the video will hang. I think the person who encodes for a few
groups is messing it up. VLC will keep on going when it hits the glitch,
but the WD is not as forgiving. One of the new Railguns is doing that on ep
1. I just fast forward when I get to the glitch spot. In some cases, I
just get another groups verison.

Yes, I use 2,4 and 8 GB USB flash drives all the time. Especialy when just
want to get going with a few fresh episodes or a single series. Oh, as an
added bonus the unit will play downloaded youtube videos. Some of the high
quality ones look real good when played from it.

My tv isn't full hd, so it might not be that good. I'm going to test the WD
thing with a couple of files to see what it does.
Bakemonogatari - Vol 1 (Fansubbed) - BLINX01.iso
[Yuki]_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_-_01_(1280x720.h264)_
[4F7894C1].mkv
I'm curious how it will play these.

I've tested the thing with a couple of files now and I'm very content so
far. It was worth the money it seems ;)
Thanks for the info Bobby.

Wonderfull. WD provides firmware updates. A new version just came out 1.03
on 11-9-2009. Did you unit have 1.02.07 or 1.03 on it?

1.02.07, but the very first thing I did was upgrading the firmware :)
