Out of the 26 airing shows i'm watching
You might have a problem. :P
...then i'd be a clinical desperate case.
i think i have watched everything possible on every streaming site of the world. name an anime or a manga and probably i have read/seen it.
and i don't watch TV. pc streaming. >.> of everything.

In that case I can 1up you in the loser contest with my 1.87TB of archived anime.

The third episode of Dantalian no Shoka was far better than the other two, in my opinion. The problem of Huey being completely unsurprised by all the shit that happens was absent in this episode, overall it seemed to work a lot better. I still love the style, fantastic art, and of course Dalian.

shit, you win me by 0.87TB!
but i am soo going to surpass you...*argh*

Aparently the theme song of Lucky☆Star has at least like 14 officially released remixes. That is...scary.

It is called milking and unfortunately Japan has mastered doing it in the form of remixes and rereleases.

This is soooooooo the case (heh) for Detective Conan.

I've never had issues with torrents~
Just go to a semi-private tracker and you'll be fine~
Not going to give names, but y'know, google semi-private anime tracker and it'll pop up pretty fast~ >_>
TTGL is licensed by Funi, it won't be on BakaBT. There is still a torrent of EG and BSS's on TokyoTosho, though.
As for torrents taking a long time, µTorrent 3.0 now has a streaming feature to watch videos as they download. Unless you are downloading 1080p BD encodes, it takes no time at all for streaming to be ready.
Well that's cool.

I mean, he's old enough, but...

What a left fielder.

I know I haven't read Mahou Sensei Negima in awhile since my latest bookmark links to me Onemanga and it's also when I read online instead of downloading everything and using MangaMeeya.

Finished 2/13 of Fate/stay night.
Uhhhh typos typos

NOOOOO!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?

Now I have to spend the next hour loading the pages of the manga I haven't seen on my terribad connection!
Must see new developments! MUST!

Edit:

Alright, I've read them. It was like 4 chapters, so OMG THE TIME IT TOOK.

Also, YESSSSSSSSS! I have thought FOREVER that lightning and ice, together, are extremely amazing, but there are so few things made that represent those two powers together. Then, in MSN, The Dark Evangel, my favorite character, uses a spell that's a PERFECT representation of it!? So. Much. Win. I've been waiting for her to show her true powers FOREVER (Seriously, look for the last time she was seen in heavy combat. I think the chapter's either double or very early triple digits).

I watched what I believe to be a rather obscure movie just yesterday: Tekkonkinkreet.

It's about two brothers living in a place called Treasure Town, named Black and White respectively. Black is competently protective of his brother, but violently mentally unstable, while White is kinda autistic and good-hearted; together, they 'rule' Treasure Town, as much as two small children can rule anything anywhere.

There's some dealings with the Yakuza, and some foreign investors to buy out historically significant areas, and turn it into an amusement park. Black and White actually don't care much about that, and actually don't have the power or clout to stop them anyway but the foreign investors send out assassins to kill them for whatever reason.

Then there's some dialogue concerning something or someone named the "Minotaur", this is only kind've revealed at the end, but even then it doesn't make a lick of sense.

Simply put, it's a very awkwardly paced, surreal movie. Now, when I say surreal, I'm saying that, near the end, it's only a few steps down from Cat Soup. That's saying alot. It's also pretty cool and entertaining, if a bit confusing at times, especially when trying to deduce what each character's motivations in the story is.

I guess I'd recommend seeing it, if only for the unique artistic style.

Wow that's a really odd synopsis.  I don't think I'd want to see that if the only merit it has is unique artistic style.

It is an odd synopsis, but it's a really odd movie. I'm not doing it proper justice, but it is an entertaining movie, it just feels like it could have been elongated into an OVA instead, since watching it all in one sitting is kind of headspinning.



And what I mean by it's unique artistic style, is that is the animation generally more... I want to say Korean but that seems to be stereotyping when I'm not that familiar with Korean animation. There's also a rather tasteful blend of realism and fantasy in the world and characters as it's displayed. It's hard to tell if the Kids have magical abilities, or are just super talented.

I still think I'm not explaining it well enough, but it is entertaining.

A new stable version of the CCCP codec pack was just released, with complete support for Hi10P (10bit colour) encoding. Without going into details, it's going to make your anime look better and drastically reduce the file size through black magic. For comparison, SHiN-gx are releasing 8bit episodes of Yuru Yuri that around 250-350mb in size, fairly normal for a 24 minute 720p episode. Coalgirls are releasing their own 10bit encodes of the same show that are around 90-130mb in size, and the same quality. Coalgirls' 1080p Bakemonogatari BD encode was roughly 19gb, they recently released a new 10bit version that reduced the size to 11gb, while still making it look better. Most groups are planning to switch completely to 10bit encodes next season, and my hard drives can't wait. You need to either use the latest CCCP or mplayer2, or enjoy your colours being completely fucked.

In anime related news, I marathoned Nyan Koi today. I missed it during fall 2009 for some mystery unknown reason, as it's exactly my type of show. Mizuno is so cute.  I'll watch fucking anything with cats in it. It's easily one of the funniest shows I've watched in a while, although nothing shall hold a candle to Milky Holmes.

But I don't want to use the latest Soviet Russia for anything...

There's a hilarious but NSFW AMV of Nyan Koi out there, one of the funniest AMVs I've ever seen. It's titled "My Bitches" if anyone wants to look it up (terribad internet, can't load youtube to link)

Milky Holmes
I will never look at little girls fighting bears the same way ever again. Been meaning to check Nyan Koi myself as well...

@Toony: Hmm, you seem to have avoided spoilers about Fate Stay/Night all over the net well enough so far. Does your game also have the PS2 Voices and Realta Nua additional scenes/CGs? Just curious since it adds to the experience...

I am quite skilled at avoiding spoilers and yeah, I've got all the voices and additional scenes.  I'm playing 2/14 right now actually.
