Anyway, I d/led episode 5 and nothing came out except for audio. hrmph, this happens to me a lot when I use unfamiliar video files like .mkv and .ogm. Anyone know how to fix this?

Yeah, ep4 worked fine once I got the Defiler pack, but only got Audio for ep5. Good thing I also got Zoomplayer, so, seems to work now.

That's strange, because I encoded 4 and 5 exactly the same way, down to the FourCC even.

Hammerspace, I would think.

Ama is from french "amant" iirc. (translated as lover in the original sense of the word, adultery way in the modern sense)

Just watched episode 5, and I officially put this series on top of my best anime of the season list, this was absolutely hilarious, I don't remember the last time when I laughed this hard.

Spoiler:

So Kouhei has somekind of power to free vampires or something like that, as Elfriede said something about changing her fate.
She said that had duties but I doubt that she is doing those willingly, so that is my view at this point what she meant when she was referring to her fate. I could be wrong of course.

In many harem shows where a group of females fall in love with some guy for unknown reason, but here we have perfect reason for them to chase Kouhei and he has good reasons to avoid them.

Kouhei wakes up in morning and notices bite marks on his neck.
"Okay, who was it this time?!"

Oh my.

Spoiler for episode 5 screenies:

As for the episode 5 playback problems, the Fansub.TV suggested fix is to use VideoLAN Client to play this episode.

EDIT: I haven't been using VideoLan after the episode 2 fiasco, so I have to ask: have the oddly-wrapping subtitles been fixed yet?

Finished episode 3.

I'm just glad that the writers did not went overboard with the comicity, as also avoid relying to resort in the bizarre and absurd for the comedy instances.

Hope that they'll keep just like this for the following episodes.

Something odd that I could felt about the ending, however, is that the artist sung the song this time in Japanese. Whereas in the first two episodes, she performed it in the French language, at first.

I felt more enamored with the French version of "Kanashii Yokan" for Tsukuyomi and hopes that the CD single will also include the French version as well as the original Japanese.

Say. How do you know that the Japanese version is the original and not the French?
And the single only have one version on it. The preview clip that is available is for the Japanese version.

The new version 0.8 fixes the problem.

it's obvious! Kouhei and his grampa live in a ninja mansion!
whenever anyone does anything stupid, traps are set up to drop washpans on people's heads!

actually the washpan falling on the head is an old japanese slapstick comedy tool, much like the anvil from american cartoons (except you could theoretically survive a giant washpan falling on your head, but an anvil would definately kill you)

[dreamless]

well, I think those things come from the same pocket dimension where anime girls pull out their 100t hammers and frying pans and paper fans and whatever else to beat people around

Spoiler for Ama Lamia from the manga:

After reading Volume 2 from Akatsuki Manga it seems the translation made by ADTRW is correct.
They don't say Ama Lamia in the manga (or at least in the scanlated version), but "ama vampire".
In the last chapter of vol 2 it's explained that these are the "ideal lover" for vampires

To help out on more info,

The washpan and kettle gag has been around for since god knows how long. The comedy that I personally come up immediately in my head is the show done by "The Drifters."

"The Drifters" were a very popular group of comedians in the 1970s. The group members consisted of:

The leader: Ikariya Chousuke (passed away this year)
The fatso: Takagi Boo
The nerd: Nakamoto Kouji
The talented: Katou Cha
The "young-one": Shimura Ken
The forgotten: Arai Chuu (passed away several years ago)

Originally, "The Drifters" consisted of Ikariya, Takagi, Nakamoto, Katou and Arai. Arai went on in his separate ways and in came Shimura Ken to replace him.

Since then, "The Drifters" were a major hit comedy group which focused on everyday life, satircal joke of society etc....most likely similar to "Saturday Night Live" in the US and somewhat like "The Monty Python Group" of the UK.

One of their running gags that I remembered was this cut-away house (like the one you see in "Tsukuyomi") where "The Drifters" group portrayed themselves as members of the house, and each time someone does/says something stupid, a washpan would fall on top of his head.

By the late 1980s, each of the members went their separate ways to become the top comedians in Japan in each of their respective ways. However, that didn't stop them from doing get-together reunions each year for a "The Drifters Special."

Unfortunately, the leader Mr. Ikariya Chousuke (real name: Ikariya Chouichi) passed away this March at the ripe old age of 72. Many of us miss him very very much.
