Shikabane Hime

[Buffalobiian]

But I wonder why Funanimation went and bought the license, stopped most subbing groups from doing it, just to distribute it for free... (Or pay 2$~ on their website (With DRM or without? If without I may actually buy them))

In general, to impact on the practice of "illegal" fansubbing, while at the same time, allowing Western fans to see the show in a timely manner. Just that "see the show" means watching streams. If you want good quality archives, you'll still have to buy the DVDs.

You won't completely stop fansubbing, as Gonzo's streamable shows have already got downloadable encodes. Still, it's the message sent out that's the most important.

btw, what's DRM?

[Marik]

DRM = Digital Rights Management. Pretty much an access control technology, that limits the downloaded content to your system only and can't be shared.

Thanks for that. Hmm, DRM....rather aggressive.

A curse:

Episode 3 - Teki

[Kraco]

One corpse, two corpses, three corpses walking down the street...

Episode 4 - Teki

[Pandadice]

are those subs any good?

[Everon]

Lunar was good, Teki is alright. Both are better than Funanimation.

[Kraco]

You mean they do translated themselves and aren't ripping the commercial subs? Are you sure? I see no credits so I thought it's just a ripper's name.

Anyway, it amuses me how poorly Makina fights all the time. Still, we learned in this episode that the corpses can draw all kinds of stuff from the necroman... I mean, the priest. I wonder if this could potentially open a door for a power-up so that Ouri (who has been a totally useless character so far) could contribute something. I mean, they keep making those two bump into each other in every ep, so it would make sense the boy would allow the girl to suck some... life from him.

oh yeah, I saw that the other day. crazy that a season two will be out like, as soon as this season ends. but isn't it going to be done by a different production company?

[Kraco]

Four corpses, five corpses dancing in the shades...

Episode 5 - Teki

[Shadow Skill]

This OP is as Epic as Claymore's ED.

Awesome series. Wish more OP were as sweet as this one.

[Kraco]

Six corpses, seven corpses looking for a pub...

Episode 6 - Teki

[Everon]

I'm dropping this. At first I was okay, but the voices for the lead female and male are getting annoying to listen to. Too much nasal and lisp.

[Kraco]

I might drop this soon as well if the main character dude doesn't start to do something sensible and worthwhile soon. Now it has been six episodes of the bloody bonehead only getting in the way of others trying to do their job, or even helping their enemies. Too bad they didn't shoot him in this episode... The fool would have been much better off dead.

Hero:

Episode 7 - Teki

I wouldn't say the dude still has found a way to be anything but a bother. It's funny how he decided to actually invite a corpse to a meeting and - surprise, surprise - would have got killed by it if a priest and shikabane hime hadn't been hunting for that same corpse and saved him. I seriously can't understand what the author has been thinking when writing this shit.

[shinta|hikari]

I think that the main character will eventually make a contract with Makina when his brother dies. The last scene in the OP (or was it the ED?), with him wearing a monk outfit and crying seems to suggest so.

[Kraco]

Eight corpses, nine corpses singing drunken songs:

Episode 8 - Teki

Edit: In case I didn't already mention that Ouri is an idiot, let me say it: He's a fucking idiot. If inkjet ink wasn't so expensive, I would print a picture of him and stab it multiple times with my katana... I finally thought this series is going somewhere, but oh noes, if it had, Ouri couldn't have been such a big, useless idiot anymore, so that's not an option. Why can't he die already..?

[Kraco]

If the bonehead dude still doesn't do anything worthwhile in this episode, I'm very close to dropping this rotting (literally) series:

Episode 9 - Teki

HD: Episode 9 - Teki


- - - - - - -



Edit: Okay... So, in addition to being useless and clueless, he can suddenly assail previously unknown girls to massage their breasts. This dude is certainly something else as far as main characters go.

Edit2: The original link isn't to a HD release. I was so pissed off with useless Ouri that I never paid attention...

[shinta|hikari]

I think he will keep sucking until this season ends. There is still Shikabane Hime Kuro after that.
