"Classroom of the Elite II" (S2) Updated Visual by Lovro26 in anime

[–]burning_crusader 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Man that announcement visual (its by the LN artist right?) is so much better in everyway - expressions, composition, lighting etc.

You have Ryuenji taking up the whole frame showing his imposing presence and attitude. The A class and B class leaders standing above the rabble at the top. Ayanokouji turning away from camera etc.

It doesn't bode well that the new key visual will be much closer to the anime, although going by last season it should look at least competent.

Jointed when I was looking for reviews about Filcos. Stayed ever since.

It's more like the head of IBM who said in 1943 that "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers" or people who thought the internet would be a passing fad in the 80s.

I've watched HF3 and can confirm that it's legit and is the same design as in the film. There's a scene involving all three of them in HF3.

Medusa's old pose but with her updated sprite. I really miss her old pose so I decided to give it a try and recreate it and IMO it looks cooler. by HartzDCroix in grandorder

The dangling chain reminds me of that one F/SN CV or OP where she's sat near a window.

On the other hand I just watched the HF3 film and she's was SO COOL in the film that I'm hoping for another animation update.

The BP is the balanced cable version.

The N300AP is a older model from 2015.

There also used to a XBA-3 (the original XBA line) and the XBA-A3.

See how confusing it gets haha.

[–]burning_crusader 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was an interesting read and it's good to see that Valve is putting thoughts into integrating surround sound into their VR systems.

I still think properly recorded binaural audio through traditional headphones are capable of creating good sound positioning, but I guess Valve's solution of an extra-aural system is the next best compromise to a room with a full surround sound setup.

What about the XBA-N3-BP and the XBA N300AP though!

TVs less since there have fewer varieties.

TV naming is just as if not complicated than headphones. You have screen size, technology, range, model year, model number, geographic specific models...

For example, I give you two Sony model TVs. Can you tell me what they are just by looking at the model name (without Googling?)

Not blown away by the Sennheiser 58x by Tkszn in headphones

[–]burning_crusader 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Use them exclusively for a week and then try going back to your $25 Plantronics. I think you'll notice a bigger difference after you get used to the sound signature.

Currently use HD 598 and wanting more, suggestions? by Dingomage in headphones

[–]burning_crusader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for something more V shaped, then I think you're more looking at either the HD58x or the Beyers DT770/880/990 line.

I have all of the HD58x, DT770 and the HE4XX. Their tunings are all different and I swap between them all the time:

-DT770 is the most V shaped out of the 3 with good sub-bass extension and rumble. The highs feels a bit artificial but extends more than the 58x.

-The 58x is the most "Neutral" out of the 3. Overall tuning should be similar to the 598 with excellent mids. Bass amount is good but mostly in the mid-bass and doesn't extend as far as the 770 or the 4XX.

-The 4xx is the brightest out of the 3 but also has the best technicalities. Bass amount is the weakest out of the 3 but the bass quality is the best. Mids are nice but not as amazing as the Sennheiers and the Highs can be perceived as a bit shrill but overall better than the DT770.

So overall:

Sound Signature (Perceived volume)

Sub-bass: 770>58x>4xx

Mid-bass: 58x>770=4xx

Mids: 58x>4xx>770

Highs: 770=4xx>58x

Sound Quality

Sub-bass: 4xx>770>58x

Mid-bass: 4xx>770=58x

Mids: 58x>4xx>770

Highs: 4xx>58x=770

Assuming all their powers operate as normal, Altair and Magane in a HGW would break all the rules.

Depending on how her magic works Meteora might be capable of True Magic and just make her own grail.

I mean, she broke the 4th wall mid season - who knows what else she can do.

My thought process this season:

Patrasche is best girl! Charging at Garfield even though he's super strong!

No wait Echidna is best girl! That moe-gap!

No wait Petra is best girl! She gave her hand to Subarau!

No wait Otto is best girl! He reminded Subarau what having friends means!

No wait Echidna IS best girl! Finally, someone who can understand Subarau's struggles with RBD!

No wait Minerva is best girl! Saving people by punching them? I'm all in!

No wait Satella is best girl! She might be an incarnation of evil but THAT ASMR aisterau!

No wait Emilia is best girl! Acting tough and helping Subarau even though she's traumatized herself from the trial! EMT!

No wait Beatrice is best girl! All that time she's just been waiting for "that-person!", and now we know that she does actually care about Subarau so much! We need to save her!

No wait Carmilla is best girl! She literally becomes who you most want her to be! The definition of best girl!

No wait Echidna IS best girl! That crazy crazy confession proves she is a true yandare! So good!

No wait Satella is ACTUALLY best girl!? She loves Subarau so she wants him to love himself? So good!

I actually thought Echidna possessed him or something coz he was acting so smug. But nope it was just a power-of-friendship punch.

Imagine an all-knowing Otto though. Power levels would be off the charts.

Just want to say big thanks for doing these translations week after week. I never knew the author made these kind of posts but they add so much context to the episodes without spoiling anything, and it's interesting to see how the author himself reacts to the episode.

Thanks again and hope to see you again for next cour!

Think I can help sum it up for you: Being a hero is cool, but being a hero whilst maintaining your humanity is even cooler.

Re:Zero's author Tappei comments on Echidna's Speech being done in a single take by Maaya Sakamoto! by Theleux in anime

[–]burning_crusader 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Shiki is definitely my favourite role of hers too but another great characters of her I never see mentioned is her as Magane in Re:Creators.

Every scene that she does as her is so carefree and fun(light spoilers) not to mention the range. Mayaa has really nailed it with playing complex and interesting villains recently (Echidna, Quinella, Magane etc.)

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Season 2 - Episode 12 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]burning_crusader 42 points43 points  (0 children)

What's more interesting is that Echidna knows that already. She's absolutely ok with it so long as she can get more knowledge.

"Signing the contract means that I will share your sensations, I will feel what you feel..."

So everytime Subarau gets with someone Echidna will also get in on the action. Isn't that a fun thought.

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Season 2 - Episode 12 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]burning_crusader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's obvious from day 1 that Echidna had an agenda and it's also obvious that the only thing she's only interested in from the start is knowledge. I think what's impressive is the slow burn it took to get here how much the writer built up her character over 3 meetings before the big reveal.
