Lain (anime)

yeah I put off seeing this for the longest time, but I
finally got around to it, and

oh
my
fucking
god

I have to say it is the most awe inspring thing I've ever
seen, it manages to convey it's message without any thought
of making it understandable in relation to the real world
and it's properties, it just throws you in and tells the
story and lets you figure out the rest, which can be a giant
put off for 90% of everyone who just wants to sit down and
watch something and be entertained, but if you're prepared
to sit down, and take it all in, and put in a bit of
thought, its a complete work of art, if you're into dark
twisted deep stuff, you should buy the box set NOW (it's
fairly cheap, (as far as box sets go) $90 for all four
dvd's)

I cannot stress just how good this is.

Matt.
Refund.

I'll have to pick it up...

I just say an anime called Samurai X. That was really good,
you should check it out :)

this show is really incredible. i am not into anime in
general, but this is one of the few exceptions. it's a dark
and surreal show - kind of like an anime version of a david
lynch film. i highly recommend it.

i have a two-dvd set of all 13 episodes i got from amazon
for around 25 bucks.

I'm planning on seeing Berserk, but my friend doesnt have
the first episode because for some reason whenever he buys
it its messed up. But he has the rest so I plan on watching
that. I heard its super old school but well done, we'll see.
:D

Nice!

Just bought the Lain boxset for $9 off ebay

Not heard of this one before, so thanks for the
recommendation!

yeah when i got all the berserks, the 6th dvd didnt work, so
i sent it in and got it replaced (twice!) and still not
working.

turns out that the berserk dvds werent properly calibrated
to work on most dvd players, tho if you have a dvd drive in
your computer, it will work just fine :)

amazing anime too

I downloaded part 1 to 13 for $0

How many are there in total? I still need to see them all in
the proper order, but I'm so impatient :(

I'm on dial-up - I'd probably be in my thirties by the time
I downloaded all of them.

I think that's all there is in total right?

yes, there's 13 in total,

and berserk does kick arse, but you have to watch all of it,
as it starts off kinda average but quickly gets amazingly
good

heh...I'm on a 2560 Kbit/s cable connection and it still
took me several days to find and download all parts. They're
about 50 MB each, full screen image quality suffices.

I love it!

eXXalion: 50mb? that's low.. download DC++. It's easy to
find it there, and easily in files that are over 200mb!

Points: 6745 Status: Lurker | Followup to Drunken Mastah: #01181601



hmmm....I just checked the files again and I was wrong. All
13 parts are 1.63 GB in total, so that makes the average
size about 125 MB instead of 50 MB. The quality is damn well
acceptable full screen, so I think I'll just keep the files
I already have, thanks anyway :)

ok. But still.. DC++ is great for finding animé! You should
check things like Infinite Ryvius, Record of lodoss war,
Love Hina, Chobits, Final Fantasy unlimited (if you can get
past the cheesy 3d-effects in certain places, it's good),
and soooo many more!

OK, just downloaded DC++, will check it out in the near
future. Nothing wrong with some quality anime methinks :)

quality animé will always help your day!

(btw: DC is one of those newbie-unfriendly programs (many of
the hubs have minimum-shares of, like 5gb), but all you have
to do is put a dvd in your dvd-rom and share it (4-7gb
instantly shared), and then masquerade it by sharing lots of
mp3s while hoping they don't notice (you should probably
share any animés and fils you have as well..). They get
easily annoyed, and sharing partial files (create a folder
called "unfinished" where you put the files.. don't put them
directly in the main share-folder...), installed programs,
and things they don't understand is frowned upon.. once you
get past these traps, you're ok...)

I'm currently sharing about 20 GB worth of MP3s and videos.
Should be OK. What slightly bugs me is the fact that my
firewall always gets in the way of these programs. Readme
said that passive <--> passive is impossible :\

yeah, passive-passive is impossible, I think, but there
aren't that many people set-up to passive... at least I've
had no problem...
