(L) 5 Centimeters per Second

[Vexx]

Every single "A" paper I produced in highschool and college was done less than 24 hours before it was due ... back when the primary tool was a *typewriter*. I do not recommend this as a technique however as I'm sure it knocked about 10 years off my lifespan. Ah, the terrors of being non-hyper ADD ...

on topic: I finally got to see the subbed version of the trailer ... this puppy is going to be forced viewing at my house.

Had some trouble finding it (I spell it as Centimetres!! ). Heres the link.

5 Centimeters Per Second Preview
http://a.scarywater.net/triad/

i did a search here "5cm preview" but the forum software seems to neglect the "5cm" part and searched for "preview" which turns up millions of useless crap..... so much for a search

anyways... i just wanna say how amazing the animation is!!! i can't wait til it's out... the animation is extremely similar to "Beyond the Clouds"

[aliensporebomb]

The previews I've seen have been nothing less than stunning.

I'm literally showing anyone who walks by the animation - the perspective,
the movement, the lighting effects, everything is absolutely first rate in so
many ways. The winter light in the snowfall scenes, the way railroad
centralized traffic control lights look in the distance at night, the shot
with the classroom where the flourescent lights all turned on at different
rates due to ballast issues and each one that pops on changes the entire
color pallette slightly, just stunning.

I can't wait to see the finished stories,

[Deathkillz]

well that was the quickest minute LOL
shocking again! even the second time round! everything is so shiny it looks like a really touching story and the music is just heart warming and spirit lifting

[physics223]

When I watched the trailer, I felt my spine tingle and goosebumps popping out of nowhere: the trailer was just so amazing and so touching that even if I didn't understand the words that were said ... I realized that true beauty transcends even language.

So does a good story, really; and thats where I'm hoping Makoto will deliver.

[serenade_beta]

The trailer was so awesome. I don't think I blinked at all while watching it.
The background, animation, etc. were all so... amazing. Gahhh! I have to wait to 2007...

[blossomsakura]

When will it come out? Doesnt hv any confirm date yet? 2007 is just next month! LOL

Long live the technophobes! What a sad world we would live in without you.

You guys are really brave aren't you? Either that or the epitome of ignorance. No sane knowledgeable encoder alive would do something as stupid like picking a fight against a ZX encoder. From what I remember only one group released h264 for Shana while it aired. They actually released an xvid version together with your "hideous" h264...
So first of all, did you actually compare the h264 against the xvid from same group? If you didn't then you are forgetting the factor "sucky raw", ANY codec will produce something "lesser good" if the source is "irrecoverably lesser good" (bad raws are of course the encoders responsibility, but you should also remember that their group pretty much released their encodes only few hours after it aired, so naturally their raw selection would be limited). So I'll have to laugh at your noobness if you didn't. Headless bashing and Blaming The Wrong Things™ FTW!

If you actually DID compare, then I'd like your explanation and ask you Why didn't you just get their xvid instead?

Oh and, I'm also looking forward to this movie.


EDIT: I uploaded the original 2nd preview here: http://www.mediafire.com/?bndfdzwijym
For those who prefer it over the reencoded ones for whatever reason. 68 MB crc:F74CA429

1st teaser is linked to here(the one marked 8M（1280×720） at 24MB)

[FatPianoBoy]

No, I didn't compare them because I couldn't find the XviD versions. I suppose bad raw quality could have been a factor, but then, I guess that's why it helps to let a day go by before choosing a raw.

I don't usually respond to flaming, but this is a unique case.

Releasing early is completely the choice and responsibility of the groups. However, downloading said early releases is your choice, and in no way can the codec used be held responsible(not in this case anyway).

Guess what, as a downloader it also helps to wait for the better quality if you want heightened chance of better raws being utilized.

edit: Just so people won't misunderstand, this is mostly valid for TV sources, for DVD sources etc. waiting will in all likeliness not help anything (and of course even DVD sources can be bad).

You know, with the way people were talking about the art in this show, I thought I would go blind or something from seeing the screenshots. You know, 'God's Grace' or something.

"Ah! It's too perfect! Me mortal eyes cannot comprehend it!"

So I guess I was kinda... underwhelmed when I finally got around to seeing it? It disturbed me really, and I was going to be prepared for heckling when I wanted to express my disappointment in this thread.

Regardless, my disappointment turned into understanding when I actually got to see the trailer. This is not something you can capture in stills, folks. It has to be seen in motion to be fully appreciated.

Still... I am kind of more mesmerised by the BGM than the pictures.

Cheers.

It's the piano piece from the first teaser. Too nice and too short ><;;

Didn't do too much evil to it, cut the first 3.499 secs of nothing, altered the volume to its full dynamic range, put it into an aoTuVb5 vorbis at original source bitrate.

Sorry! Posted this in wrong forum.

[Haohmaru]

So anyone seen the 1st story yet?

[Aurelia aurita]

I just finished downloading it and I'm about to watch.

[Impz]

I am on my way to watch it and eventually blog on it for a summary. If anyone is keen, I will get it out as soon as I have time ^+^

[monir]

I'm just too stunned to say anything at the moment, so I'll just post the screenshots for now.

Ist Story: Sakura



It's good to be alive. Now I'll go and lie down.

I guess I can take that as a very deep and moving story about life. But how did you get the screencaps when the DVD is not released yet?
