Evil Genius

I'm watching it now and I've got to say there are a lot of similarities between this and Furi kuri. Because I don't know what the hell is going on. This does use a different art style but I can see some of the same.

Heh then its cool cause i download ffdshow a long time ago.

I think you still need VobSub to get the subs to display properly, but I'm not sure...

I haven't need that before. I will see if i need that or something else when i download this anime.

I used BSplayer to watch my Escaflowne ogm's a while back. Works fine for me. Yeah, you'll probably need some freaking codecs as well.

You need VobSub if it has multiple options for language subs/audio tracks... some OGMs don't... and Eldo is using in my personal opinion the best player... (BSplayer).

P.S. Anyone ever think its funny to watch it with english audio and english subs? You should SEE some of things they mistranslate...

I installed a nice codec pack a few weeks ago. OGM already worked before but I wanted the modified windows media player classic.

yeah the direct translations like the true corny names for spells and such.

So, who watched it and what did you think?

I watched it. It wasn't that good. I mean yeah, it was hardly a waste of time, but the story was uninteresting, the characters were meh, and the animation style reminded me more of four-color american "ka-pow! bam!"-type comics more than anything else. It killed my time in a relatively enjoyable way, no more, a bit less.

Wow, that's pretty harsh. Sure, it's not Berserk in terms of storyline, but not everything has to be. Television would be boring if every show was too story intensive. I think the story is pretty functional and somewhat original too. It's a film that you can just sit down and enjoy. Those are your opinions however, and I respect them. This really bothers me though:

The art direction was the most awesome thing of the film! Look at the character designs, the solid shades of black, the bright colors, everything is awesome. It's not fluid as far as animation goes, but that makes it even more stylized.

No love for originality these days...

I dunno... I just found the character design to be incredicly dull. The design of the villains was pretty horrible, IMO. The rest didn't leave a lasting impression at all.

I'm just not a big fan of big blocks of solid bright color. I loathe it.

Well, Femto, since you study animation, the common folk like us only look at the surface, while you look and explore the whole core of the animation.

Haven't downloaded it, since my laptop is shit. 200megs free space, which is bullshit.

It kind of reminded me of "Natural Born Killers".
