[Behemoko]

Didn't this thread already exist..?

[Phaded]

No i just posted what i did in the Re-Vamping Anime thread :p. You mind stickying this thread and deleting the Anime Council thread please mate?.

[Idenowhereiam]

Nice nice.. and This thread did exist but in a useless part of the forums for a general chat thread

[SymphonyX]

This is sweet. Thanks for making the HUB

[SolidSnakeUS]

This was finally made. So... what is going to be done with user bars? Am I going to be Legend again? :lol:

[softtack]

I don't think we'll be using ranks again. It was kind of pointless in the firstplace.

[Baki]

I'll work a manga spotlight thread tomorrow or something.

[Phaded]

Who can sticky topics?. Deleting the Anime Council thread would also be good.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Ahhh damn, I felt special when I was called a legend :lol:.

I will sticky it and lock the other thread.

[SymphonyX]

Where can I post Anime Movies I have a bunch.

[SolidSnakeUS]

There I just stuck it and I closed and moved the old one to the trash.

[Phaded]

Great nice one Solid.

Also if somebody wants to work on some userbars to link people to this thread/section then please do. I'le get to work on some but it would be nice to have selection :).

[SolidSnakeUS]

I recommend softtack to do it :lol:. Everything he makes is made of awesome and win :lol:.

[softtack]

I appreciate that Solid, but I'm no good with userbars. Fenwick's are always nice. It'd be nice if we could get him to make a couple.

I'll start writing up a guide for watching MKV/OGM anime, and Phaded can just add it to this thread later. I don't think it deserves a separate thread.

[ToonAssassin]

hiya fellas, glad to see this section finally got made, i love the links in the pics, very nice idea, i'm looking forward to reading this section a lot, you guys educate me on stuff i never knew about before, good luck, not that you'll need it of course ;-)

[Behemoko]

My bad, I was off taking care of other business after posting, lol.. This is my first time back since that original post. :lol:

Glad to see this is now up, though. :-)

[Shadowfyre]

Hopefully this thread is better than the anime council was, nothing ever happened in there.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yeah hopefully. Maybe to make up for not having a Legend user bar, maybe I should put Anime Legend as my user title if I got the points :lol:.

[Phaded]

Get one of those little picture things that sais Anime Legend instead of a user title :).

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yeah, but I don't have the 15K now do I? :lol:

[BRandON99]

Nooooo! It finally happened! The forum is officially 13% less cool now. Just kidding. I don't get the anime but good for you guys that do;)

[softtack]

Here's my guide. Feel free to add it to the main thread. I don't really think it deserves a dedicated thread.

-------------------------------------

How to: Play MKV/OGG files.

So you've ventured outside of Naruto for your anime fix and snag a few new animes. But wait, the files aren't AVI and Windows Media Player or Quicktime won't open them keeps flashing missing codec errors. What do you do?

Luckily, this problem can be easily solved. There are two codec packs for Windows you can choose from, and one for Mac. The only major differences most people will notice between K-Lite and CCCP is that CCCP has thumbnail preview for MKV/OGM files and includes ZoomPlayer.

Use the K-Lite Codec Pack (Windows)
- Uninstall the Divx or XviD codec installed on your system (if applicable).
- Download the Standard K-Lite Codec Pack [link] (http://www.free-codecs.com/K_lite_codec_pack_download.htm)
- Run through the installation, using the "Lots of stuff" installation profile for best compatibility.
- Hit Next until installation completes. Do not check or uncheck any of the boxes on the final window, and you are finished. The MKV/OGM files will now open up in Media Player Classic by default.

Use CCCP (Windows)
- Uninstall the Divx or XviD codec installed on your system (if applicable).
- Download CCCP [link] (http://www.cccp-project.net/)
- Run through the installation, it should be pretty straight forward.
- After installation, the MKV/OGM files will open up in Media Player Classic by default. CCCP also includes ZoomPlayer, which some people prefer. To make ZoomPlayer open by default, right-click the video file, click "Open with", click "Choose program from a list", find ZoomPlayer in the window that pops up and check "Always use this program to open this kind of file" and hit okay.

Use Perian (Mac)
- Download Perian [link] (http://perian.org/)
- Mount the DMG and install Perian.prefpane. This will install Perian.
- That's it! MKV files will open up in Quicktime. It will need a few seconds to buffer, but it goes by pretty fast. This also adds codec support in FrontRow. Quicktime will not play OGM files, so use VLC (below) if you need OGM support.

Also, you should install a player called VLC (www.videolan.org (http://www.videolan.org), available on nearly every OS) as a jack of all trades player. If for some reason you can't play a video file with one of the above codec packs, VLC will probably be able to play it. So why not use VLC as a primary player? Well you could, but VLC has no support for softsub styles, and the subtitles it generates can be hard to read at times. Its interface is a bit more complicated because it packs in many features. However, it is up to you whether or to use VLC as a primary player.

And that's it, you're all set to go.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I still think the CCCP is best bet for any windows video playing. Great overall.

[softtack]

I prefer K-Lite because I do a lot of video encoding, but to each their own.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I don't do that, I just watch a LOT of videos, and CCCP can play pretty much any (except for ones that have proprietorship) video files.

[Phaded]

Nice guide soft, gonna add it to the post tomorrow, knackered at the mo so off to bed for work 2morro :(.

I did the Manga Spotlight thread.

Link (http://ps3forums.com/showthread.php?p=2706852)

First one I did is here. (http://ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=119041)

[SolidSnakeUS]

The only manga I read is Bleach :lol:. Used to read Naruto.

[Baki]

The only manga I read is Bleach :lol:. Used to read Naruto.
Tut, Tut.

The anime legend is not much of a legend then. :snicker

[SolidSnakeUS]

See the things is, I don't really buy things...

[Baki]

See the things is, I don't really buy things...
Ok, whatever you say Mr.Anime Legend. :snicker

[softtack]

You're missing the point. It's Anime Legend, not Manga Legend. ;)

You need to see how insane his collection is before saying he isn't an Anime Legend. :snicker

[SolidSnakeUS]

I know someone who has way more than me and it's retail, but yeah, I have a lot :lol:.

[Phaded]

I have quite a lot of retail stuff :).

[SolidSnakeUS]

I mean, the person I was talking about had at least $8000 worth of anime :lol:.

[Phaded]

That **** is just crazy :p.

[softtack]

Best thing about having an all digital collection is when the time comes to get rid of it, all I have to do is Ctrl + A, Del, and Enter. :)

[SolidSnakeUS]

I never delete my anime. I love my anime too much :lol:. However, I will delete something else when I need to make room... :lol:.

[softtack]

I was actually referring to when the party van pulls up to my house. ;)

[Phaded]

That's true, though i guess i could sell my stuff on eBay, I know my OOP Geneon DVD's would fetch a fair price :). I tend not to buy Anime though unless I really really like it, so while I do have anime's like Black Lagoon and Ergo Proxy in my collection I won't be buying the likes of Eureka Seven.

Ok added updates for Softtack's guide, baki's Manga Showcase and the now Anime Buyer's Guide which can you sticky please Solid?, cheers :).

http://www.ps3forums.com/showthread.php?p=2374045 - link to the thread

Also got a small Anime Bootleg Spotter to add, which I will after somebody posts after me so i don't double post :p.

[Phaded]

Sorry bout double post but Comp is throttling on me

[SolidSnakeUS]

For me, there probably are a few animes that really are worth buying. Black Lagoon, Onegai Teacher, Ergo Proxy and so on.

[Phaded]

Too bad Ergo Proxy and Black Lagoon are OOP now, i've only got 3 volumes of Ergo Proxyfrom Geneon, gonna have to wait until the UK releases are finished before I can complete it I guess unless i get a lucky break on eBay

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yeah, Geneon had to go under didn't they? :lol:

[SolidSnakeUS]

Wow, I guess it kind of died, even though I didn't want it too :(.

[Phaded]

Sorry just been a bit busy lately, anybody else around?.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I haven't even talked to softtack that much. Maybe it's time for finals for him.

[Phaded]

Let's atleast try and bring this topic back to life :p.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Wow, someone posted on this thread again :lol:.

[Phaded]

Should try and get it more active again, this topic at least if not the whole section :). Recommend any recent anime releases mate? aint kept that well up to date on things lately.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I've got a bunch of things that I'm watching. Sekirei, Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - Natsu no Sora, Genius Party, Amatsuki, Zero no Tsukaima 3rd season and some others.

[Shin Asura]

If this is for commercial anime then I'm of no use

[Phaded]

The 3rd season of ZNT is out!?, i'le have to get right on that and check out some of the other stuff to, you ever watched Soul Eater? cos I was thinking of watching it.

If this is for commercial anime then I'm of no use

I don't get what do you mean? this is just a place to come in and chat about all Anime and Manga and stuff ^^.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I have been watching some of it. And ZNT 3rd Season has 3 episodes already out.

[Shin Asura]

I don't get what do you mean? this is just a place to come in and chat about all Anime and Manga and stuff ^^.

Oh , I thought it was for commercial only since that's what most people talk about

[SymphonyX]

Theres underground anime?

Is it good?

[Phaded]

Hmmm i'le probably wait until a few more episode's are released before watching it. Do you still use Veoh by the way or are there other better methods now?.

I guess Shin means just anime like Naruto and Bleach that are "mainstream" but no this is for all Anime and Manga :).

Recenty just bought the Hellsing boxset as it was on sale on Amazon, received it in the post today so i'le probably watch some of that tonight.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just got rid of Veoh yesterday or the day before. I don't use it much :lol:.

[Phaded]

So then what do you use? ^^ since Stage6 shut down a while back Veoh is all i've used and it's not really that good.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I still torrent all the episodes and keep them :lol:.

[Phaded]

I still torrent all the episodes and keep them :lol:.

Guess that's the best way, anyway i'm off mate to watch a film or something before i sleep, night.

[VesNL]

I still torrent all the episodes and keep them :lol:.

Same here. Anime is really living off torrents now, like it did before off IRC.

[Phaded]

Yea that's true, i've gotten a lot off programs like Veoh though.

DB doesn't like it when people upload the their eps to a stream site. They went crazy everytime somebody psoted it on Youtube.

I don't bother with YouTube, the quality is terrible.
