What sort of CPU do you have, and what media player are you using? Also you may want to investigate Lunar's HD version, as iirc they're lower bitrate (thus will be kinder on your CPU)... it amazes me to see people who have issues with HD encodes these days, given any CPU made in the past five odd years should handle them fine. >.< Anything older than that is well past its product life anyway. Upgrade! >.>

LOL! I'm using Intel Celeron D 2.53GHz, 1GB of RAM, and nVidia GeForce FX5200 128MB memory. Using MPC as media player and Codec for h264? I'm using CoreAVC Pro. XD

I have no problems watching other HD releases. It's just that their release is very huge for my CPU to handle. I can handle H264 realase of Clannad from Eclipse (the widescreen) and many others as well! Mostly, some dvd rips. I think they've encoded this with VBR H264 so my CPU cannot really handle it well.

Yeah, try Lunar's release instead of Doremi's. Might have better luck. The series really is gorgeous and worth watching in HD (I'll be buying it on BD, if the price isn't obscene.) -- one of the few series so far to really be worth HD.

Well, I don't like encoding of Lunar's. I'll just put some extra effort on this sola. I'll just mute the sounds when watching! LOL! Hahahah! It's just that the video/audio is not syncing while playing. It's a really big problem when it is encoded with VBR h264 video. The audio is normally playing at normal speed. But in the video, when it take so much bit rate to play, the playback of the video gets slower, thus making the video/audio unsynced. LOL!

I'm happy to watch this series, but I think I'll watch other first that I have already archived in my HD. I'll watch Karin first, then watch SOLA. Or, I'll just be patient in watching this series. Well, who knows?! LOL! I won't be back till Wed, so I'll put everything on hold. And when the time comes, I'll decide then. ^__^ Thanks for the help.

Audio/video desync is due to your older CPU not being able to keep up. What's wrong with Lunar's version? I found it fine. If you're already using CoreAVC and still getting desync, there isn't much else you can do but try another encode, or upgrade.

Well, I've found out that there's also some configurations to make in MPC. Also, I've played it perfectly fine. First, I've configured the options in the output playback, using renderless VM9 and other stuffs. Also, I'm not using full screen since my desktop reso is already 1024 and the vid is 1024 also, so it's fine; just no black space in the top and below. But, it's playable now with no problem.

Of course the big problem is in the CPU itself. If I play this on a Intel Core Duo, the playback flows very smooth! LOL! ^^

EDIT: Also, making it REALTIME in priority in TaskManager. XD

interesting so far. what are they goint to do about the dude whith the sword?

it started out slow n relaxing.. which is good.. n towards the end it revealed more story n enticed me more which is great

anyone mind sending me a link so i can watch it too? =]

The opening and ending song were really calming. Just like Aria.
I like the character design of Naru Nanao. No wonder Matsuri reminded me of Yuuko from ef.
BTW: Weird drink? I think I know that from Air.

I have no idea where this is going, but I enjoyed this first episode.

I, on the other hand, have a very good idea where this is going, and I don't think I like it.

Anyone care to correct me?

Not an amazing start, but I liked it all the same. I could've sworn that girl was Shinku, yeah, I wish. Interesting, but I too don't really know where this is going.

Cute art. Really like Matsuri atm. Don't really like the other charas, too cliché... Specially the Yuki-clone XD

Mmhh that guy... I don't really like otaku, but he's somewhat cute/sweet... o.o

Let's see where this is going...

Pretty good episode until the end which was slightly odd, interested to see where this is going.

So many questions..........
I don't know anything about this anime: who is that girl that can't stand (day)light??,, who/ what is the child (doll??) and what is that sword guy doing for her and why??

I think it's gonna be a great anime =D
On to episode 2!! =D

Looks quite interesting so far. Need to watch some more.

I just started watching it. I assume that the guy with the glasses is a vampire killer, and he has a silver sword. I assume that the girl doesn't like the light because She's a vampire. There seems to be a lot going on, but I assume everything will be explain.

The church scene was unexpected. I did not thought to see that in a Romance anime like this one.

Also the scene with the girl in it, I found that disturbing.

This anime has had a very interesting beginning and it has captured my interest.

meh i'm not impressed :\,but i think it'll get good in 2-3 episodes
i like the op song tho ^^

3/5
