                     Hi all, As you would expect my hobby is anime. I like this site because I can organize all my anime really easy. I have lists i used on word pad for many years, but this site is a lot more efficient, has more features and it gets updated periodically by many fans and mods, so your usually never out of date in trying to locate material. I decided to turn my attention to filling up my anime entries on this site. A little about me: I am 30 years of age. I have been into anime for about 16-18 years. My first anime i ever watched without realizing it was "Serendipity the Pink Dinosaur" It was a child's cartoon and i watched it at a friend’s house when I was 4 years old. I also watched other similar child cartoons during late 80's like "Scamper he Penguin" and "Little Nemo Adventure of Slumber land". Of course during this time, the thought never went through my mind that these were anime, I was only 4-5 years old. When I became to be around 12-13 years old my first real anime series was Dragon Ball Z as is the case with most people that are in their 20's now, had their first stardom into anime with dbz in the mid to late 90's. I have been watching stuff on toonami when I was a little kid, like inuyasha, yu yu hakusho, rurouni Kenshin. But I didn't really get seriously involved into the hobby until a friend of mine introduced me to a series called Evangelion. That's when i realized that anime existed elsewhere besides just on tv. This particular series was more adult oriented and more sophisticated. As well as exploring things like emotional dramatic scenerio's and didn't just center around action and fighting. EVA was the first anime i watched that actually incorporated more of a physiological theme and intense and series emotional character drama. Then i figured out that I can Download anime on the internet. First with my dial up connection, i would only download AMV's mostly naruto amv's, because i wanted to watch the series so bad. My friend who owned a laptop was able to download some naruto episodes and thats when i truly first got into watching fan subbed anime. Once i got high speed I would Download Consistently. Ever since then I was hooked completely and it became one of my permanent hobbies. I'm also a huge gamer, mostly rpgs or action/adventure titles. I have been into gaming since I was like 8 years old. I currently right now own a huge variety of games of different genres that I love. You can leave a message or contact me through email if you like. I'm always welcomed to friends. :)  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY ANIME RATING SCORE SYSTEM #10 Outstanding, a truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is giving out very rarely and indicates an anime series that should never be missed. Even fans that do not consider the genre to their liking will find that a series of this caliber to be excellent and above and beyond what they would expect. Because the story, the production, the execution is so cleverly crafted. #9 Superb. This score is high recommendation because the anime reviewed is head-and-shoulders- above its competition. #8 Very Good. A title that indicates satisfying elements and pure enjoyment but perhaps not the right choice for everyone. This rank indicates their are many good things to be had in a particular series. #7 Average. The anime's shows great potential but is nothing that casual watchers have seen before. A decent anime from beginning to end. #6 Limited Appeal. Although there may be fans of anime who find this some what enjoyable, many will be left yearning for a more rewarding experience. #5 Flawed. It may be obvious that the anime has potential, but its most engaging features could be undeniably flawed or not integrated into the experience. #4 Bad. While some things work as planned, the majority of these titles either fall flat or is so dull that the anime falls short of as a whole. #3 Painful. If there is anything that is redeeming in a anime of this caliber. Its buried beneath agonizing viewing and uneven execution in its elements or themes presented. #2 Broken. Basically unwatchable. This anime is so flawed, so insufficient in execution that any value what so ever would be derived among extremely small audiences. Most fans would find an anime of this rank to fail in nearly every conceivable way. #1 Disaster. Some may call an anime of this rank to be so terrible that 5 or 10 min in, you feel you lost precious time. Some even redeem a series of this rank to be so bad that its the new "ranked worst anime of all time"  Below I am going to list, banners/clubs invites and all my favorite listings using individual tags.  ====================================== Important Video game and Anime News Updates  Click on the Pictures to see my Online game Profiles    ======================================== In remembrance of my old anime board  Banners   Member Cards  Favorite Anime Characters TOP 5 favorite Anime Music Video's  Click on my Backloggery Link for a complete Profile listing of my Video games   Youtube Anime Channel  Youtube Gaming Channel  [color=#0B4C5F]   |

edit: Oh, and I still plan on reading the Naruto manga but it looks like the anime watch fell through. For some reason it didn't connect as much as One Piece did with my mom. I tried to tell her to give it at least to the end of Land of Waves/Chuni Exam but no dice.
She's loving Higurashi though.
Yeah, I intended to skim through the OP manga to refresh myself and I mostly have been but I'm at the CP9 saga and that shit is so good, y'know? Probably my overall favorite saga, but Skypeia is up there too. I love Marineford and some of the other indiviual arcs, but aside from the Foxy mini-arc Cp9 is probably the most consistently great to me of the ones I've seen/read. Also, the colored art for the manga is gorgeous, one of the best looking manga I've seen.
I've seen the first to seasons of Academia and I've really enjoyed it. It suppose it could be cool to follow as it airs though.
I don't fully understand it, but the HDTV transport streams that other groups encode from are 1440x1080i, which they downscale to 1280x720 because encoding them at higher resolutions generally takes up more space, while not looking any better. Most TV anime aren't actually animated in 1080p; they're usually somewhere between 720p and 1080p, and upscaled to 1080p for the JP broadcasts and delivery to distributors like CR.
I hope this helps, but you can find more information here from Daiz, an experienced encoder who once ran the group Underwater.
