Nabari no Ou 3

I’m liking how things are shaping up very much. The action, animation, art, ninja stuff is fine but what really intrigued me are the personal histories and relationships between the characters e.g. Thobari and Miharu, Miharu and Yoite, Raimei and the pink-haired katana user etc.

[H doujinshi] Lightning Stars by MikAzuki akira

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS hasn’t been lauded for its pacing, chara bloat or even animation quality. But yuri fans like myself have been rejoicing (I still have an appointment with Admiral Erica to ‘do the LFB/G jump up and down and squeal together’ LOL) because it created the base material and context for Nanoha x Fate HWAT LESBIAN S3XXOR fan work that won’t have the Feds kicking down your door; I like my yuri pr0n non-loli PLZ KTKSBAI. This post is (kinda) work safe and *NO* explicit images are used here.

While trawling the interwebs, I recently came across some scans of the Lightning Stars H doujinshi by artist MikAzuki akira (trimoon) and it was a glorious 19 pages of glorious all-woman Fate-centric art.

Ten Chara Talkabout Gurren-Lagann

[1. Darry] I’ve been curious about this series ever since it derailed Anime on My Mind. Also qualifying for Mentar’s Itou Doctrine (along the lines of Evirus’ Ayako Doctrine) but, being an adherent of Stripeyisan G4GM4M Doctrine, I was somewhat put off by how prominently ‘manliness’ and phallic drills featured.

But with a crushing RL deadline looming, how else would this Zaku respond? With the Power of Procrastination, of course! And so, I have just finished marathoning the landmark series that is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Using mkvmerge GUI to change sub-title file

Just a short note on replacing sub-titles, the inimically named .ass file, in a fansub. I’m enjoying Nabari no Ou, courtesy of Rumi’s hard work. Tried to replace the second episode’s sub-titles and faithfully followed the instructions but I got the above NO U CAN’T HAZ A MKV message:

Error: The name of the output file ‘F:\anime\partial\Nabari no Ou\[Rumi]_Nabari_no_Ou_02_[1280x720][H264]_[85945779].mkv’ and of one of the input files is the same. This would cause mkvmerge to overwrite one of your input files. This is most likely not what you want.

Finally figured out that all I needed to do was to go to ‘File’, then ‘Set Output File’ and designate a new file name (just added ‘v3′ after the episode number) and huzzah. Doh!

Code Geass R2 Ep 3

When men in coats expose themselves, it’s a criminal offence but when C.C. does it, it’s called a revelation.
