cosmopolitan prayers
 

i just saw the preview but can't tell what kinda series this is. Anyone here know what it's about? I visited the official site (or some site that looked like it :) ) and couldn't find any info in english either (my current lvl of japanese doesn't allow me to read it yet)

Argh I just found the info in the general forum, can some mod delete thsi thread??

haven't been online for a long time so this might be kinda rusty but here goes....:P

ya i just saw it too and i was like wow...... i'm going to watch this anime .... did you see those two girls that was pretending or was a cop ... they look so like Tarutaru from FF11 OMG so kawaii.. i can't wait for this series to come out.......

What thread in the general forum was it under? I can't find anything posted about this show using the search button. :(

I think he was referring to M.O.E http://www.pc-moe.com, but I suggest that you post to this thread instead from now on.

The relevant information from that thread is this:

Thanks NoSanninWa. :)

I am curious about this show, the animation looked really good, and the plot outlined above is a little vague but could turn out to be interesting.

After seeing promo it seems to me that this is mahou shoujo (magical girl) anime packed with fanservice. So I will be following this. :D
There will be only eight 12-minute episodes. If this has a good plot so that those episodes could be watch as an hour and a half movie this could be turn something great, but we will see...

After seeing the blonde in the promo, show seems a bit like G-On Riders.

The first impression I got after watching the trailer is: Isn't this Najica in miko outfit? XD

Well, more panty shots is always welcomed. ;)

Triad's proud to bring you ep1 of this series. We'll be with you all 8 episodes of the way

Only 8 episodes eh? I might watch the rest of them then, since it's a shortie. The girl with the spear interests me, just cause I'm such a sucker for spears, but I usually get turned off by the fanservice in these shows. It's like they can't have an action show starring females without flashing their panties every 5 seconds. I guess you have to realize what you're expecting with m.o.e. but it just seems like wasted potential lost on bimbism.

*dRoOlS* :naughty:

It just seems like a bunch of half-baked scenes waiting for the fanservice to come along and remind everyone why they are watching. I doubt I have the patience for even 8 episodes.

It seems at least somewhat derivative of Asagiri no Miko.

I just watched it, and think it's rather bad! :uhoh:
It's fan-serviced all along (not that i dislike it, but in this case...), the plot seems annoying, what can i say... could it be the worst anime of the season?
In one hand, i didn't really appreciate it, but in the other hand i'll download the second ep, in case it gets better (full of panties shots!! :naughty: ).
Its really sad that the only thing able to save this show is its ecchiness...

The continuity of the first episode is very bad; it's hard to follow. It is also poorly shot.

The fan-service is not very strong in the first episode, but it is there every once in a while and very much a part of the series (those Credits..). To critique the fan service: it's about average imagination but the quality is nice.

That said, the animation quality is very good all over. The character designs are up to par but the voices and dialogue don't hold. The special effects are unusually effective--very good special effects. It's why I finished the episode.

Skip it.

After watching ep 1, I can only say this was disappointing. For some reason I was expecting it to be a little better. Ep 2 should be better as it seems that's when an actual plot, or at least something that passes for a plot, will come in.

remove all other codecs and install ffdshow alpha. You can dload it here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...3.exe?download

OK. I saw the first episode. And I just have one question: What the hell is going on? I'm so totally lost after the first viewing so I watched it again. Still don't get it. Anyways, this is a MOE production. You know what to expect when you watch an anime from MOE (apparently their forte is ecchi, such as Steel Angel Kurumi, Hanaukyo Maids, and Rizelmine).

One time I had the problem you mentioned originally with a file. I downloaded codec after codec after codec and nothing fixed it. Then I opened it in Windows Media Player instead of Media Player Classic and I pulled it straight out of Microsoft's automatic codec download. Imagine.

I never touched ffdshow after the installation and it runs everything, like a codec. You lost me on the options complaint.

But try it in WMP, for the codec I mean. Good luck.

Oh no! Options you don't have to use at all are a bad thing! The Horror!


No it isn't


You don't have to watch their free fansub if you don't want to you know...


Nothing at all, it plays just fine... using ffdshow

read: www.the-triad.org

Xvid Beta can't decode Xvid Alpha properly.

CU,
lamer_de

lol did you even check out Lamer_de post. If you go to Triads website they are three ways you can fix this problem. I only recomended going with ffdshow alpha cuz it virtually plays just about all anime subbs. I'm glad to hear you finally fixed your problem.

Your opinion is uninformed.


Why do you think people prefer Winamp 5 to Winamp 2? Because it gives you the option to work minimally like 2 or use the advanced iTunes-like features of 3 (only no longer broken).


Yeah, all those options bloating up ffdshow so much that it takes up nearly and entire megabyte of HD space! The Horror!


There you go


You could consider the XviD programmers to be at fault, perhaps, but they never claimed to provide the best decoder anyway. Theirs is a proof of concept at best. As for Triad, oh no, they're using the latest encoder version to produce the best quality at the smallest file size! How dare they!



Overlay should be handled by your media player.


You do realize that the ffmpeg crew make the highest quality and most efficient (least computer power required) decoders around, right? That's the entire purpose of the ffmpeg project. It's the same decoding engine that has been used in MPlayer on Linux for years.


Except ffmpeg decodes a whole bunch of formats, so it actually *lessens* the amount of filters you need.

Seriously, ffdshow + Media Player Classic (with it's built-in filters) can decode nearly everything, all under 2MB worth of downloads.

Well, I'm not too critical with anime. As long as it entertains me and has atleast a tiny bit of a plot, I'll watch it. So far I like it. Obviously it's not going to be much of a memorable series, but it's impossible for every series to be ground breaking.

I had the codec problem as well, but everyone was fine when I transfered it to an older computer to play.
I for one am going to stick with it; it's not a long one, after all. Not every series has to be great to be watchable.

The first episode really bored me, I just barely got through it. Good thing it was only a 12min episode. I'll watch the next 2 or 3 episodes before I decide to ditch it or continue, an to think this came from the makers of Steel Angel Kurumi one of my favorite ecchi all time animes. I realize its only the first episode but the characters just don't seem all too interesting. Uninteresting characters or plot/story = boring for me. I do have hope in the plot though lets just see how it turns out in the upcoming episodes.

well after watching ep 1 i would say its somewhat similar to G on Riders, only its sillier becuase its takes itself rather seriously (i mean serious characters+battling cosplayers+semi-rampent fanservice= :heh: ). On the plus side, the battle animation is quite nice, so ill stick around for that alone,

Which groups version is best to get?

I have to say I'm very proud of the work I've done with Ai-Ls to get CosPrayers out. I can recommend it wholeheartedly ^_^

what's with the laser out of crotch?

The who-in-the-what-now?

Cosmopolitan Prayers
 

So what do you guys think of Cosmopolitan Prayers? It seems kinda like a Sailormoon kinda thing. I can't really tell so far. I've only seen the first episode and I'm currently downloading the second one.

Hello there, this series is currently being discussed here. Please post your comments there. Thank you.

thread closed.

Well I just finished watching episode two of "Cosprayers", as Triad seems to call it, and I was shocked - SHOCKED - at how terrible it was.

Nevertheless, I'm going to finish watching the series... even though the second episode was just... TERRIBLE.

Yeah... honestly the series itself isn't very good. However, it's REALLY short, so we can all sub it, watch it, and forget it existed!

:P

Right?

Why waste your time? You could be checking out an underappreciated show like Uninhabited Planet Survive or Gokusen instead?

I run an anime review site. If I can review Sister Princess Repure and ONE, I'll review this one too.

You, my friend, are a braver person than I.

I like translating short. It makes me feel productive while freeing up time for other things like sleep and homework.

BTW, I seriously don't think the CosPrayers audience is all that large compared to that for Gokusen and Survive. :P I think it's <3000, and I've got a feeling most of those are collectors, and that that number will drop even further as the series goes on and people see that no, it's not going to get better.

Woooooooot! Cosprayers episode 3 has been released! Let's see how far I can watch before I spontaneously combust.

By the way, I hear that these past episodes are NOTHING compared to how bad episode 4 is.

Cosprayers 4 is horrible. It just is, it's something that would give anyone seizures. I'm surprised I didn't have one. At least the horrible horrible scenes didn't last for too long.

Well, I just finished watching episode 3 of Cosprayers and I came to the realization that I should do posts similar to my musings posts for Ultra Maniac. We'll see how it goes! If you don't want to see any spoilers, then you need to SKIP my post as it WILL contain spoilers. Consider yourself warned!

1) In this episode, we delve deeper into Scarlet's life as we see some of her memories with Crus. We also find out that Priscilla is invulnerable.

2) A couple of things don't quite add up in Priscilla's battle. Was Priscilla actually in danger when she was hanging in the giant hole? If she wasn't in trouble, why in Inusuke come to save her? If she wasn't in trouble, why couldn't the monster thing just do the attack a second time and kill her off?

3) Who or WHAT is Crus? Was he a Cosprayer was well? If he was a cosprayer, did he wear the male equivalent of what the girls wear before they transform? Would that be a speedo?

4) Why doesn't Koto just SAY that she found the Charm Up watch thingy on the ground?

5) If someone has to be "chosen" to become a Cosprayer, how come Koto was able to just pick up the watch and become one?

6) WHOSE funky Charm Up watch thingy was that anyway? If the person that the watch belonged to was chosen, how come he/she disappeared with everybody else on the earth?

7) Why the F%#$ are all of the monsters just different parts of the human anatomy? So far we have:

Giant Arm
Giant Nose
Giant Ear
Giant Fingers
Giant Eyeball

What's next? I just hope it's not a giant you-know-what!

8) Whatever happened to Koto calling Scarlet "Mistress"?
