Just a brief clarification here: a Japanese friend of mine was the guy who bought the Anime Mirai BD and ripped it. He uploaded the ts and linked it to everyone who asked him, and I have no problem giving you the link as well. Just keep in mind that it's over 8GB for only 30 minutes of content https://mega.co.nz/#F!HQcCTIhY!QhmOXS5Zcicp7esbOr5FQA
There's a 720p encode of it floating around that's being PM'd on twitter, but that's on someone else's google docs and I don't feel comfortable giving it away because you know how they are about copyright. Let me reupload it real fast and I'll post it here.
Bari: I want to skip Spring and Summer shows and get to the Fall shows already
KenO: We do have This and That coming don't we!
Bari: Handrawn 2D drawn robots will strike back
KenO: Finally the time has come! I'm really pumped for it!!
Bari: I'm really pumped for it as well!
yada yada, they both carry on being really hyped for it.
Potentially 2 shows this fall with 2D mechs in it. Hope might not all be lost!

Hi guys, I'm the super elitist twitter jerk, who actually went out of his way to bug a friend to give him a quick how to for enconding, then froze for 2 hours by the open window so the laptop wouldn't melt down listening to the damn thing confusing itself for a jet engine.
I pretty much gave the link to a stream, DDL and even a torrent on IRC and to anyone on twitter who asked, since it's being subbed anyways (and probably soon too), I didn't want to spread my shit encode.
However, judging by your reactions, this is the last time I ever bother to do something like this. Next time, I'm watching the .ts and posting the screenshots while watching EVERYONE whine. And this is the reason I didn't post it here nor do I read these boards. Because you are a bunch of self entitled whining pieces of shit.
P.S: All thanks got to the bro who went and bought the bluray in the first place.

Not your blog.
I appreciate what you did, but if you can't handle two people calling you an elitist you should stay away from the internet before you hurt yourself.
The raws would have been out in a couple of days either way, so stop acting like a fucking saint.

I can tell you don't read these boards. Believe it or not, most of the people discussing animation here are pretty nice people who don't sound like jerks, unlike you and your "you are a bunch of self entitled whining pieces of shit".

You guys went out of your way to call people on twitter elitist jerks, because you didn't get your shit RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. If someone poked me specifically, only reason I didn't reply is because I passed out for a few hours.
Really, it's a shit encode done as a favor to two people on twitter and since it was already done, I gave it to couple of other sakuga regulars. The high quality encode with subs will probably be out soon, so why spread around a half-ass job when it deserves better.

BAAAAAAAAW GIVE US THE ENCODE
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW YOU'RE ENTITLED WHINY CUNTS
yes guys, let's fight amongst ourselves, it's not like we're some niche ass fanbase comprised of 20 people at most. Makes no fucking sense creating cliques or whining about other people.
>>140
Correct. Because everybody knows that every single poster on 4chan is represented by a few posts made in whatever thread. This is common knowledge. Every single user in this thread is a self-entitled jerk and we went out of our way to call people on twitter elitist jerks.
Seriously though. We are not represented by the people that talked to you on twitter. You have a problem with them, so you complain to us and not to them?
Fuck off you attentionwhoring faggot. Your presence in this thread is unwanted and you go out of your way to offend people that have done nothing to you.
>>120 here
I think you're an elitist faggot because of your attitude(and it really shows in this thread and on your twitter's timeline).
I don't even care about your encode and I has never asked you for your encode since I know I'll get one anyway.

I'm >>116, I was just making a joke bro. Chill. I asked because I know some twitter people post here, and I was sure I could get someone to answer me/share the RAW.
Shit encode notwithstanding, you got the show, and if someone (not you) is gushing over it in public it's only natural that other people who were hyped for it will react to that and want to watch it too. Anyone who actually cares for encodes will download it again when subs are out, and the people who don't notice it will be happy with yours either way.
If someone else was being an asshole on this thread I don't think it should really bother you, we don't even know if he was actually whining or just trying to start shit up, we got a fair share of trolls in the thread. But one guy doesn't represent the majority of us here.
So, anyway, thanks for uploading the .ts and the encode! There's no need for hostility among the niche.
Iso deserves better then a couple of "orgasm" posts. I say we dedicate an entire thread to just talking about how great he is

I WANT TO SEE MY NAME ON THE WEBSITE. Dunno how long it'll be till the BD comes in the mail, aren't they doing film festivals first?

Probably May? I think they delayed simply because of festival submission rules, it'd be an odd move to show it at festivals before the people who chipped in saw it.

Yeah, I don't get what the deal with Little Witch Academia was. The animation is very good, definitely the best anime mirai short thus far buuuuut I expected a lot more with the whole monkeys and bananas reaction. I guess this is one of those cases where the hype and appraisal is based solely on "names". It's Yoshinari, so I'm going to call it JESUS CHRIST ONA SAMWITCH BITCHES! Really? Please stop overreacting like that. It just kills the fun when the hype is for nothing. I was pumped as SHIT and THEN some going into the short but then I just ended up hitting the wall like a truck. a
m sad. ;_;

>expecting better
how much better are we talking
like Lal'C throwing a planet better? That's probably the best thing Yoshinari's ever done. But honestly, I just loved how great the character animation was, it wasn't just action scenes and FX. I also really loved the background animation in this, like when they're flying up the tower or running in the catacombs, you don't see much of that these days. The whole thing was consistently powerful, even if it didn't have a defining moneyshot cut (the taurus melting and the dragon transforming bits were fucking amazing though)

Well, you've done an awful job at explaining why it's not that impressive while people have detailed why they loved it so I'm not sure why anyone should follow your "advice".
I think you might be misreading what I said. As for explaining anything, please wait while I go fetch my bag full of "I give a fuck". I will be back with a reply as soon as I find it.
>>154
It's easy to misread what you said because you have no point. The only information >>151 conveys is that you were underwhelmed. What is the answer to that? Pat you in the back?
If you don't want to bother explaining you argument, why do you even post?
I tend to think that twitter has become an IRC-like communication medium. But it is fully volatile and hard to follow whereas on IRC we can easily read the discussions, even the old ones.

I liked, no, loved the background animation in "My Little Yoshinari Academia can't be this Hey Did That Giant Dragon Explode into a lame Butterfly Rainbow of Fireworks?"
There are people here who are often whining about traditional mechanical animation (or its absence, to be exact) so let me whine too will you? There has always been too little background animation in anything (except Yuasa who loves animating backgrounds - man of my soul) so thank you for the cherries on this cake Mr. YO YO(shinari)!.. YO!
Couldn't stand the speed lines. They generally look like shit in almost anything and they look worse in "My Little Yoshinari Academia can't be this Hey Why Are Those Holds so Long, Please Animate?" (Kanada style a shit? Kanada style a shit - yes I am that guy from the previous thread on /carcom/- stills and holds are not animation when they're noticeable and interrupt the flow of motion, and they make a scene with falling objects like girls and dragons really lame when nothing is actually falling, or moving). Where was I? Oh, speed lines.
Yes, they reminded me of those scenes in the Joshiraku OVA where they just slap these manga effects over anything - speed lines to make it dramatic, bubbly bubbles to make it fluffy - which looked pretty shitty, but that was the whole point because it was a gag. If there was an animation gag in Little Witch Academia (what did you expect another complaint disguised as a long ass caricature of a title, oniichan?) I must've missed it. Yes, manga is the cancer killing anime, with its visual shortcuts and symbols. If I wanted to fool myself into believing a still and some speed lines in the foreground and background equal motion, I'd just stick to manga. If you can make the motion, than do it, God Dammit!!
The character animation was goofy and cute. I liked that. Stuff like That Girl #1 (couldn't be bothered to remember their names) pulling the helmet out of her head with a *suimp* sound and a stretch. Deformed and expressive acting in few frames during the dialogues (yes, limited animation isn't always shitty. sometimes it's just limited) or nice body action during the catacomb exploration or when That Girl #1 runs to pick the Big Fucking Green Gem Magic Thingie in the tower with the dragon. This shit was cool. And best I liked the effects animation for all the magically bubbly wandy stuff. You know, the kira kira~ kyuuuuun they do with the wands. Or those fire things. Very cool motion (and also, very cool use of colour) - sparkly and fun. Except the fireworks. They looked like shit every time.
And........ that's it I guess. Pretty good short. And overall (not just animation/storyboarding/art direction/blah blah wise) I think it's my second favourite Young Animator/Anime Mirai short since Tensu Warashi in 2011.
