Anime Thigh Thread II

pretty big difference especially if it's a bluray rip for the download

[Schirmy]

Why do you hurt me so?

Quite frankly, it's fun.

Oh, you understand me so well.

Is there a noticable quality difference between streaming in 1080p vs downloading a 1080p file?

Downloads always have better quality over streaming, but as said above, both of those are upscales, so you'll get a better quality with less bloat if you download the 720.

Youjo Senki - The faces look so bad. I'm just not able to watch this.

Really liked the ending of episode #1.

The resolution itself doesn't tell you anything at all. If you want an example I'll show you one.

This is the same image at the same resolution of 700x394:





You can see they have the same resolution and yet one of them looks incredibly shitty right? Yeah that's because compression is through the roof in the second one.

The first image has 254KB, the second has 13KB.

It's the same shit with video, the resolution doesn't matter because you can make it look like shit regardless of it due to compression. And to make it feasible to stream the compression used in streaming is usually way more aggressive than what you'd get downloading a file directly. Uncompressed 1080p would require 8x3x1920x1080x24/8/1024/1024 = 142.38 MB/s download speed (ignoring audio) which is something that isn't exactly common for most people and therefore would make it impractical. We don't use uncompressed video in the downloadable files themselves either (a single anime episode would require something like 220 GBs), it's just that the compression is way lighter and you usually retain way more quality than in the streaming counterpart.

There are other disadvantages too if you know what you're doing with your video player, streaming doesn't really give you any playback options and generally speaking you can get better frame presentation and image upscaling with a respectable standalone video player.

Need a hug?

Two please.

Two please.

As per order.

As per order.

that's the last order you get.

Gungrave: 10/10. What a fucking ride.

That is now favorite scene in any anime I have seen. The tension, strain, and depiction of the dichotomous ideals are depicted so well. This was also famously done in Shawshank Redemption.

Isn't that the one where you should skip the first episode no matter what.

[bals]

yeah I think that's recommended now.
not sure what @goriq or @Schirmy did

[Epuration]

why? is it bad or just spoilery?

[bals]

why? is it bad or just spoilery?

both. kinda like berserk's first episode.
watching (gungrave) 10 years ago, episode 1 didn't really seem bad to me though.

[Zatheyll]

why? is it bad or just spoilery?

Dunno. It's been an old meme for a while now to never watch it.

Oda Nobuna no Yabou - This took a while to get through. Nobuna is a bad genderbend, she's very indecisive and basically needs the MC to do anything. She's still cute though, like most of the girls. Mitsuhide is best.
