I like the original Higurashi anime and have the disks on my shelf (they were one the harder sets for me to find when I was looking). But so far (and I'm behind in the watching) I have found the new version disappointing in comparison.

CDJapan has just notified me that no new date has been set for the release of Utada's single...

Some people have speculated on a close re-release date, based on a new date given somewhere for the One Last Kiss CD. However, I have just had notification from CDJapan that no new date has been set for the release of that CD.

And some just seem to lack any understanding of the world.

Um, no? There's a pandemic and thousands on thousands of people are dying.

And he's finished the job. Don't use outside reasons for a delay in release to knock it.

It's called copyright...

And the so-called "fair usage" in some countries' copyright laws is never actually defined.

I'm working with "Subtitle Edit". I hear that Aegisub is the recommended one, but I've spent hours just trying to get the subs to actually play on the preview. I keep trying again before realising why I gave up. Aegisub is the one for SSA/ASS for sure. It has quirks, but they are easily c...

I'll continue to experiment with it.

You know to embed the font in the video, right?

I do a fair bit of this, if you need help.

There are times when a quiet mention (without a link) may seem appropriate. But making a conversation about it turns into condoning piracy by another route. Best to remain quiet and be discreet.

I can't see what you would gain over using ASS subs to position things around the screen so they can overlap in time without interference.

It seems to me clear from the trailers that Shinji will pilot again. However, the idea that he might not is not absurd in itself - indeed, I used it in my own fic (quick, read it now before it's superseded!)

Given the fact that they've had extra time (or even without considering that) to prepare this stuff, this is sheer incompetence.

The fact that it's Japan-only, and obscure in the West is neither here nor there. The West has never been the audience that Evangelion is aimed at.

I thought that until I waited ten or more seconds, and then they popped up.

No vaccine is perfect. The coronavirus vaccines are all (so far) either as good as could be expected or better. There is clear consensus (from examining the actual proteins involved, and such) that the UK variant should be effectively controlled by existing vaccines. There is another variant, in Sou...

I'd go further, and say that Shinji not conforming with masculine stereotypes, whether in his own mind or simply in the eyes of some others, is just that - and is not in any way related to a possibility of his being trans. There is not the slightest indication that he has gender dysphoria.

Sure. Does the IP match what your router says your IP is?
