My position on NTE being what it is, I'm not the best person to address the unpacking task, but there does appear to be a major amount of background work been done here -- for example, the first post (Google translate link) starts out with a deeper dive into Ultraman lore and the references that NTE...

The wordpress link is to someone's (OP's?) massive Thai-language NTE fan-site, looking like this: https://thumbs4.imagebam.com/02/ff/30/MEA76C0_t.png Anyone interested in scanning through this (MTL as needed) and maybe summarizing anything interesting/amusing/otherwise remarkable?

Speaking a language like English which has a history of mugging other languages for their spare vocabulary, the boundaries of where loan words end and actual translation is needed is a fuzzy one. Culinary terms are just absorbed wholesale as soon as what they refer to starts being eaten here rather ...

If someone steps up to the plate, then we would use that; but at the moment, apart from Reichu's work on her site translating the subtitles from Shin, there hasn't been any such effort. We don't even have an EoE script for completing the OG series commentary.

the only reason it's called "instrumentality" is because it's a reference to the Instrumentality of Mankind series. The original Japanese is "complementation" - the only reason it's "instrumentality" in English is because the Japanese translation of the Instrumentality...

It's that dead time between seasons again, though Tokyo 24-ku hit the expected Cloverworks overcommit limit, and has yet to deliver the last episode. Sabikui Bisco did finish, in a finale that echoed Vividred Operation for the way all the characters spent time being heartfelt at each other while the...

Probably the best thread for this Just as things started to happen by way of previews for RE:cycle of the PENGUINDRUM , Ikuhara posted this thread https://twitter.com/ikuni_noise/status/1509111775345917952 [Notice] The name will be changed suddenly. I thought about it, but decided to live honestly w...

22, surely

a fan geek commentary of all four Rebuild of Evangelion films. Volunteers creating the framework (images, cuts, dialog) would always be welcome. That would also be true of End of Evangelion , which is a major omission from the existing project. At one point there were outline pages for One More Fin...

It's getting to be that time of year again, where we clear out abandoned zero-post accounts, many last active for only a few hours after sign-up. So, at the end of the month, accounts with no posts, and a last active date (last time visited while logged in) before 1-Jan-21 will get purged. The delay...

AWinters#934465 wrote:How do cuts work?

The wiki pages with the script and thumbnails break each scene into the numbered cuts, the numbers being taken from the available screenplay material.

So, for example Episode 9 Scene 3 runs from cut 100B to cut 132.

For that matter, 3.0+1.0 has much the same take on things.

Thanks for helping keep this rusty barge afloat, with a lot of work that most people won't even have known went on.

Inevitably, there is a "blast from the past" to link here; a previous thread on the subject

It wasn't failing silently, though - I saw an error message at the top of the page: But, alas, nothing in the forum logs that the staff could see; only by seeing a large backlog of unactivated accounts was it apparent there was a problem. You're right about the contact address -- we did receive a c...

Clearing up from the backlog -- Un-Go which was weird detective story in a near/alt-future Japan after a war, with a mix of AI, powersat-politics and battling kami : OK but who comes up with mix-and-match ideas like that to even make them work in the first place? And Heroic Age , which did what one ...

As the anti-shipper, the big reason is that I see the pairing as completely dysfunctional and unsustainable, having run its course by episode 24. He needs a mommy-gf -- something for which Mari seems much better qualified, and for which there may be candidates amongst the groupies from episode 3; sh...

Yes -- it looks like the outgoing mail server has been silently failing most of the time for some weeks now. This is being worked on.

I just watched Planetes for the first time. It's another of those series which were animated at about the same time as the manga was entering its final straight -- see also Bokurano and Chobits . In the case of Planetes , there is an unusual bifurcation in the audience, typically preferring whichev...

I finally got around to vol5. It kept escalating the threat until it just ended. Even more than EoE, it stops dead in a deus ex machina free "the world is still utterly fucked, hope you have an interstellar bug-out up your sleeve" state, but that gets swept under the carpet, because all th...
