Why does everyone rank on ADV? You'd think they killed Jesus or something... :?
Because they've released DVDs with bad video quality multiple times over the years. As one of the largest distributors of anime over here, you'd think that they'd be able to do better.


And Zarxrax, great job with this!

If you think software sculptors produces BAD video quality.... their ping pong club dvds look like the film masters were used to wipe someone's ass after going to the bathroom. :x

Doesn't Osaka start speaking in the Kansai dialect with fair regularity after she realizes that everyone expects her to do so anyway? I remember reading this somewhere, but I don't know enough about Japanese to be able to tell for myself.

... huh? I don't remember it ever being indicated that Tomo was Osakan...

I've been waiting to see threads like this. I say any self respecting mod would stickyfy this thread so peopel can know what they're getting into before they buy a DVD.
So in other words, one part of the community is waging war on another part of the community because they take their community seriously enough to want to do so. Then they tell the powerless side to get over the loss cause it's just an online community. I'm glad people make so much sense." -- Tab

Well, I'm not really sure, to be honest. Her japanese sounds perfectly standard to me, but I also don't know enough japanese to be able to tell.

It's indicated all over the place. Tomo is your stereotypical rowdy osakan gal ;p
