03:50:20 [nathanbp]ok, I'm through with all these sucky shows this season, it's time for GaoGaiGar
03:51:45 [Puyopuyo]A manly show for a manly taste?
04:03:01 [nathanbp]is ep 2 designed to give people seizures?
04:04:08 [Puyopuyo]It takes a while to cut down, but yeah, it's a bit seizure-tastic.
04:04:53 [Puyopuyo]If you stop responding, I may have to call an ambulance.
04:13:34 [nathanbp]OH MAN HE GETS ATTACKED WHILE TRANSFORMING
04:17:56 [Puyopuyo]Well...yeah.
04:20:32 [Puyopuyo]What, you think this is one of those ordinary shows where people just stand there and let the hero do his thing?
04:20:37 [Puyopuyo]This show's too manly for that.
04:44:52 [nathanbp]for some reason I thought this was from the 80s but it's really from '97
04:44:55 [nathanbp]so it's post-Eva
04:46:05 [Puyopuyo]Yup
04:46:13 [Puyopuyo]Does have that 80s vibe though

06:14:18 [AChes]It turns out that the guy I said was Brian Rosoe in the OP isn't, be you got the right guy any way although he doesn't dress like that in the series as far as I recall.

15:11:50 [Pipian]So
15:11:54 [Pipian]As a heads up
15:12:03 [Pipian]Expect to be seeing a lot more of my brother
15:12:12 [Pipian]He's going to be going to Rutgers in the fall
15:12:21 [Puyopuyo]why?
15:12:32 [Puyopuyo]He graduated and he decided to go to RUTGERS?
15:28:37 [Pipian]Ypretty much
15:28:53 [Puyopuyo]Oy
15:29:00 [Puyopuyo]You know, I've NEVER met him?
15:29:25 [Pipian]I know
15:29:43 [Pipian]I expect that there is now a possibility you may, which is why I bring up the point just so that you are aware
15:32:46 [Puyopuyo]Better brush up on my familiarity with Crosby, Stills, Nash and/or Young.
16:41:15 [Puyopuyo]Hrm: http://www.youtube.com/user/BestClassicAMVs
16:41:19 [Puyopuyo]I don't think I agree with this.
16:41:36 [Puyopuyo]That said, some of these I've definitely seen before, and the selection is definitely of the top 10% of AMVs in the past ten years.
16:42:08 [Puyopuyo]And for humor value, Euphoria is on there, Ian. Which we've lambasted before. FUCK THAT SPINNING BAR.
16:42:22 [nathanbp]wow I think I've only seen 3-4 of those
16:43:09 [Puyopuyo]A bunch are AKROSS-based, so they're not on amvs.org
16:43:17 [Puyopuyo]As they're all russian, and they've got their own site for that.
16:44:28 [Puyopuyo]I think my problem is that a bunch of these fail Ian's and my 45 second test, mostly because they're AKROSS based, which have their own standard.
16:44:46 [Puyopuyo]American AMVs tend to be ~4 minutes and MUST catch your attention by the 45 second mark.
16:45:06 [Puyopuyo]Russian-based AMV/MADs seem to be ~6 minutes, and I don't know what a suitable interest cut-off is.
16:45:44 [nathanbp]I have to say I mostly agree with the 45 second test
16:46:15 [Puyopuyo]Well, yeah. Given 4 minutes, if they can't grab your attention by near the 1/4 mark, they're doing it wrong.
16:46:43 [nathanbp]I'm pretty amused that the original Eva footage was so horrible that everyone has redone their old Eva AMVs
16:47:14 [Puyopuyo]Heh
16:47:23 [Puyopuyo]I'm waiting for them to redo Redeath.
16:48:16 [Puyopuyo]...huh. I've definitely seen Toushi before...
16:48:31 [nathanbp]Please tell me that Minami-ke doesn't actually count as classic...
16:50:07 [Puyopuyo]Nah, it's not the series that's classic, it's the AMV.
16:50:45 [Puyopuyo]Oh hey, it's Jihaku.
16:50:49 [Puyopuyo]This is like ancient.
16:51:59 [Puyopuyo]...yeah, the cuts to the actual video STILL annoy me.
16:52:45 [Puyopuyo]Yeah, definitely seen Flames of Heaven before.
16:56:41 [nathanbp]Not that impressed by most of these >_>;;
16:56:48 [nathanbp]so far at least
16:57:13 [Puyopuyo]Neither am I, but again, compared to the major batch...
16:57:24 [nathanbp]true
16:57:26 [Puyopuyo]I think they're half decent.
16:58:04 [nathanbp]is there some way to make youtube default to max resolution?
16:58:08 [Puyopuyo]I could see showing most of these at RSFA.
16:58:10 [Puyopuyo]I don't believe so.
16:58:17 [Puyopuyo]It auto-scales based on how it perceives your connection.
16:59:16 [nathanbp]really? seems like it always leaves me at 360p unless I change it
16:59:27 [Puyopuyo]I've had it default to 240p
16:59:53 [nathanbp]Ick serious bleach AMV
17:00:47 [nathanbp]hey it's actually decent
17:01:08 [Puyopuyo]I don't think anything in this batch fails to be "decent"
17:01:25 [Puyopuyo]I may not like them, but they're done with a decent sense of technical execution and thematic appropriateness.
17:01:34 [Puyopuyo]Of course as a snob, they all suck, rar.
17:05:16 [nathanbp]help tempted to watch Princess Tutu again
17:05:30 [Puyopuyo]Can't help you there, I'm already opening up my DVDs.
17:06:15 [nathanbp]help tempted to watch Shana S2
17:06:29 [nathanbp](j/k)
17:07:53 [nathanbp]I have to say I really did like Shana Season 1
17:08:35 [Puyopuyo]Stupid Black Lagoon Russian AMV. Of course it's pro-the stupid Russian character.
17:08:42 [Puyopuyo]...also set to My Chemical Romance.
17:08:53 [Puyopuyo]Good technique interspersing manga frames with the anime though.
17:09:01 [Puyopuyo]Meh, Shana. It went on too damn long.
17:09:01 [nathanbp]wait you care about Black Lagoon at all? >_>
17:09:11 [Puyopuyo]Not really.
17:09:13 [Puyopuyo]I hated that series.
17:09:19 [Puyopuyo]But I hate some characters more than others.
17:09:19 [nathanbp]oh I agree, I didn't care to watch S2
17:09:32 [nathanbp]but I thought S1 was good
17:10:40 [Puyopuyo]* Puyopuyo shrugs.
17:10:45 [Puyopuyo]Not really my style of series.
17:11:05 [nathanbp]oh man it's another amv that makes me vaguely want to watch Euraka Seven
17:11:31 [Puyopuyo]I don't think I agree with this Youtube account holder's choice of including Sexy. Yes, it did well at AKROSS 2010, but that's not "classic"
17:12:27 [nathanbp]well I don't agree with the inclusion of anything from after 2004 so...
17:12:29 [nathanbp]:P
17:12:36 [Puyopuyo]I'm okay with up through 2007.
17:12:41 [Puyopuyo]4 years is a long time in the anime industry.
17:13:18 [nathanbp]I don't think the time frame of classic gets to move up with time
17:13:33 [nathanbp]it's clearly defined by when I started watching AMVs
17:14:20 [nathanbp]I guess I actually like Jihaku
17:14:28 [nathanbp]this may be just because it includes Mahoraba
17:14:32 [Puyopuyo]Well, it's pretty classic.
17:14:44 [Puyopuyo]I am kind of astounded.
17:14:50 [nathanbp]at ?
17:14:53 [Puyopuyo]This is totally a CROSSOVER ROMANCE AMV.
17:14:58 [Puyopuyo]Tombstone for Love.
17:15:06 [Puyopuyo]I have NEVER seen someone attempt this sort of thing before.
17:15:15 [nathanbp]oh is that was it was
17:15:17 [nathanbp]that makes sense
17:15:23 [nathanbp]I didn't recognize any of it
17:15:45 [Puyopuyo]It's Tenjo Tenge xover Shaman King, mostly.
17:15:50 [Puyopuyo]With clips from other things.
17:16:37 [nathanbp]ah
17:17:32 [Puyopuyo]That's...really bizarre...
17:17:45 [Puyopuyo]I'm not sure that it worked, but at the same time, I'm not sure that it DIDN'T WORK.
17:19:03 [nathanbp]ugh still so many of these to go through.
17:19:28 [Puyopuyo]...I don't get Clarissa.
17:19:34 [Puyopuyo](The Minami-ke one)
17:19:42 [Puyopuyo]It seems almost downright generic. What's it doing in this batch?
17:19:48 [Puyopuyo]It's also 2008.
17:20:19 [Puyopuyo]I don't understand the Russian sense of humor, I guess.
17:22:10 [Puyopuyo]I remember Engel...
17:23:27 [nathanbp]I'm kinda embarrassed at how many of the series in Shounen Bushidou I recognize
17:23:57 [Puyopuyo]Heh
17:24:04 [Puyopuyo]Nathan:HE LIKES SHOUNEN!
17:24:21 [Puyopuyo]Well, that's enough AMV binge for me.
17:24:29 [Puyopuyo]Time to get something to noche on.
17:25:52 [nathanbp]I'm watching the race adn then I'm done
17:27:52 [Puyopuyo]Jenn showed that one the last time I saw it.

19:32:41 [Puyopuyo]Huh. Funimation let their licenses for Higurashi and Zero no Tsukaima lapse.
19:32:53 [Puyopuyo]...sweet, they totally can't bust me for seeding Higurashi anymore.
19:35:53 [nathanbp]They had ZnT?!?
19:37:09 [Pipian]Puyopuyo
19:37:12 [Pipian]Good luck with that
19:37:17 [Pipian]They'll sue you anyway
19:37:17 [Puyopuyo]?
19:37:45 [Puyopuyo]Nah, they'll DCMA me anyway.
19:37:52 [Puyopuyo]*DMCA
19:37:56 [Pipian]Exactly.
19:37:59 [Pipian]Whichever
19:38:08 [Puyopuyo]Plus I think they've got better things to do. Like sue people torrenting One Piece.
19:38:18 [Puyopuyo]In Texas, because of the very friendly pro-copyright judges there.
19:38:40 [Puyopuyo]Nathan: Yeah, apparently they grabbed ZnT.
19:38:50 [Puyopuyo]I'm kind of surprised that they're letting licenses lapse.
19:38:53 [Puyopuyo]I guess the money's not in it.
19:39:05 [Pipian]Anime is imploding anyway.
19:40:19 [Puyopuyo]Has been for a while now.
19:40:26 [Puyopuyo]Clearly it's because of all the pirates!

20:01:53 [nathanbp]Wow ep 5 of GGG was the worst
20:02:21 [nathanbp]They did Final Fusion but without breaking the glass to press the button
20:02:34 [nathanbp]that's the best part of the show!!
20:32:54 [Puyopuyo]Heh.
20:46:36 [nathanbp]so as of ep 7...they've used LinerGao in 3 of 7 episodes!??
20:47:45 [Puyopuyo]Yup.
20:50:19 [nathanbp]I guess it wasn't totally useless after all
22:35:47 [StriderTol1]I was going through my old AMVs recently. That list http://www.youtube.com/user/BestClassicAMVs#g/u is clearly missing most of the classics
