Holy Shit! thanks
Holy Shit! thanks
is there a reason why WF made the file so big?
It's an MP4 file so they might be using some compression other than Xvid. Or, it could just be a really high quality file.
Favorite Harima: Jesus Harima/Artist Harima (w/ skeleton pen)
Wow. Quite an episode. First I have to say, as it has been discussed already, that the mp4 (and file size) really shows. Damn the picture quality was top-notch! Quite brilliant image indeed. However, there's also some "air" in the release that has bloated the file a bit.
What comes to contents, the second season seriously doesn't seem to lose to the first at all. It was just as packed with craziness and a neverending chain of misunderstandings. Also the beginning certainly was great, featuring badass Samurai Harima...
OP and ED were good. Maybe not as memorable or striking as in the first season, but good nevertheless.
But what was with that WF's own clip that had been added to the end. Man, it was embarrassing... But gotta give kudos to them for having the guts to pull off something like that.
Edit: Oh, it's too bad Ichijou didn't have a single line (I think...). So, we can't judge how well the changed voice actress fares in the role.

Maybe they were still working on the contract for the new voice actor so they couldn't give her any lines.Originally Posted by Kraco
dled episode from some chinese fansubber few days ago, but it was rm file, thank god wf released their version, dling right now, so wut exactly is mp4 anyway!? can someone explain? i never seen/heard mp4 before
Well, it's a container format. In that sense one might say it doesn't automatically grant any superior quality, as it could still be composed of old fashioned video and audio, because the standard allows use of a variety of formats, some of them historical. However, it's natural to assume that whoever opts to use mp4, will rather use new formats than old for picture and audio, like H.264 and AAC (I'm sure these sound familiar). Now, that being said, it's evident that any mkv could give the same quality, as they can also contain those formats. The difference here is mainly the fact that MP4 is an ISO standard, whereas things like mkvs are inventions put together by lone pioneers.
