cccpIf you watch anything more than WMA or Quicktime on your computer, you will know that codecs are your  best friend and worst enemy when it comes to playback. The best codec pack(This is fact because I am saying it!) is the Combined Community Codec Pack or CCCP for short. All you have to do is download the installer and let it run. The default settings allow playback in either Media Player Classic or Zoom Player, which I prefer the latter of the two. If you use Windows Vista x64 or 7 x64 then you may have some issues concerning the playback using the default settings of Zoom Player(At least I know I did). Here are the steps I took to fix this issue!.

Suddenly I want shoes

Suddenly I want shoes

All I can say about this is just WOAH. The description says that it was made in collaboration with Morimoto Kouji from Studio 4 ℃. The advertisement is for Nikeid which is not one that we are familiar with out here in the states but if it brings commercials like this then I welcome it with open arms. We need more interesting advertisements like this, our TV has been getting bland. Now watch and behold this 1 minute of interesting, this is what I find randomly because I have my youtube localization set to japanese thanks to a good suggestion by Yudothat. I get the feeds from the popular videos on the japanese version of youtube so I can check out my animu related content faster and be a really cool guy. The things I do for you reader(s).

I have recently sat down and Re-Re-Re watched utawarerumono TV in HD, All I can say is wow, I love this show!

She will rock your world!

She will rock your world!

If you have never seen utawarerumono let alone heard of it you’re most likely not alone, but you should go out and buy the DVD or Blu-Ray set. This show makes me laugh, cry, and think deeply, it was a good experience overall. I should note that I played the PC game, and that I am looking forward to the OVA coming out on JUNE 5th in beautiful 1080P. Many fans of game for PC say the TV series was a travesty, and that it did not tell the story correctly. This argument is half correct, but we must look at it from different angles, from the ERO point of view the TV series was lacking, the logical reason for this is simple, in a game you have choices to make and those decisions will change the story and reflect a different angle.

Also LEAF the company behind utawarerumono had to create something that could be played on TV say in a prime time TV slot, so ERO content and nudity were out. It is widely believed that the up and coming OVA is going to help fill those holes maybe literally with that missing content. That said LEAF is basically giving back to its fans with service, doing what they originally did. PRO TIP: utawarerumono was a turn based H game before it was cleaned up and ported to the Ps2 and then became an anime TV series. This OVA will fill in some side stories, give more justice to the PC game and summarize very briefly, like 3 episodes briefly.

Trailers are at the bottom and more information.
