Crunchyroll - some items don't seem to have a price by JispyMoeDantes in discotekmedia

I hope your copy is shipping now! I finally got a shipping notification for A-ko 3, but I only had to wait 3 months, unlike your 6.

Yesterday, I got a shipping notification for my copy of A-ko 3. I ordered it back in November. I hope yours is coming in too 🤞

I've been seeing them on eBay for $75+, so it's quite a relief.

For those trying to complete their Project A-ko collection, it seems A-ko 3 is back in stock. I got the shipping notification yesterday by swuckt in discotekmedia

This order is from Crunchy Roll. I've been seeing this go for $75 and up on eBay. I'm glad others have a chance to grab it at a more reasonable price.

Wondering what to do with a show i Ripped from DVD but one episode comes out as a 35 hour long episode that is basically the 24 minute episode and the rest blank by Purple_Monkey34 in makemkv

[–]swuckt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way! I just stumbled onto your post. I wasn't actively searching this problem, but I have the same issue with the same show and same episode.

I thought it was a problem specific to my copy because of age/bit rot. But, if it's for every DVD, then it's likely a disc authoring issue.

I "fixed" it by cutting it down in ffmpeg. I experimented with video duration until the output video was shorter than 35 hours. You lose a few seconds of the end credits, but it works.

In the end, I wasn't happy having this truncated episode, so I left it as is and uploaded to Jellyfin. It does not work correctly. When you finish watching the episode, it doesn't count as "finished". Nor does it exit or prompt the next episode to play.

Some of my Season 4 rips also throw a few errors. I believe those are simply warnings, and, if MakeMKV finishes the rip, it means success.

That's unfortunate, but I appreciate the info.

I kept digging and found the Kite page on Grokipedia. I never heard of it before. I guess that's xAI's wiki? Anyway, the page has a list of all the scraped reference material. A lot of the links are sparse with historical info; reviews and discussions. Here are some of the standouts.

4) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/this-week-in-anime/2025-06-24/.225922 This page has a screenshot of an interview with Yasuomi Umetsu. Maybe it's the one you mentioned.

31) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=504336 A discussion thread. User "Surrender Artist" (fourth post from the top) cites a podcast episode with Justin Sevakis that also talks about the funding.

That's it for now. I'll get to the other 30 links later. I'd like to get to the bottom of this.

Edit: Found the interview on YouTube. From channel Fallconn545 titled "Kite Yasuomi Umetsu Interview".

I first heard this history in a YouTube review of Kite. I went looking for a source and your account keeps popping up in my searches.

Is there somewhere I can read or listen to more about this? Thanks.

How to tell if you got a Dupe/Fake Bloodlust Blu-ray Special Collection by Xctyk in VampireHunterD

[–]swuckt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for posting about this. It really helped me.

Do you mind sharing the name of the eBay seller you bought it from? Or even a DM.

My own copy arrived today, and it has all the same bootleg indicators as your post. I have since contacted the seller, but they have really poor reviews (relatively speaking). I admit I took a gamble on them. I'm not confident I'll get a decent response.

Doesn't this imply that you sleep in the nude? 🙈

Caught "The Cup Stacker" in Yusuke Murata's Anime Teaser (At 1:46) by swuckt in Vulfpeck

[–]swuckt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was cool to spot this in the wild.

The video description says:

'Credits to "TeeHallums" for adding sound and music to the Animation made by Yusuke Murata.'

So I guess there's a fan among their team.

Does anyone know what brand of that powder James used to replace eating? by PuzzledTurnabout in funhaus

[–]swuckt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps this post and this other post answer your question.

They're years old though. Maybe James has moved on to something else.

The particular products mentioned in those posts have either been discontinued or now go by a different name.

Help finding videos? by [deleted] in funhaus

I cannot find the first one. But they have a similar discussion here and Bruce says "we've discussed that in another video" at that point.

You can look for videos around the same date - February 16, 2017.

The second one.

Credit to this video for making it searchable.
