Is there any database that catalogues what sound effects libraries certain animes used? Anonymous Tue 30/04/2024 2:46:32 PM 6 months ago No. 413

I want to create a fan edit of an anime movie and am trying to replace music in some scenes. Extracting the voices is easy enough these days with AI, but removing the music but keeping the sound effects is a lot more difficult. Especially because no tool to my knowledge has this exact functionality. So my next best bet is to find the sound library that the movie used and recreating the exact effects heard in that scene. I know for a fact that a sound library was likely used for the film due to it being rather low budget.

Is there any site like that? If not, what else could I do?

you CAN attempt to re-create sounds with a mic and various objects. i wouldn't be shocked if they do SELL sounds used in the production of anime but i can't imagine how to buy them.

You know this thread just like reminded me that some of the official movies used in Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling or Wrestling Series as a whole uploaded to Nico Nico Douga used the same sound effect library as Japanese animation studios.

The sound affects in most anime are electronc noises which in some cases are the exact same but slowed down or with reverb.

I got a friend who I watch anime with alot. But I was wanting to read some manga with him too, only issue is that there aren't too many good ways to do that communally. Currently my method is to stream my screen to him and read it out loud, which isn't the best way I feel. Are there any sites made for this, and/or is there a obvious way I'm missing that would be more ideal?

Consider the book club way, set a reasonable amount of pages, or chapters and a amount of days to read them. like, "let's read up to page 20 of dragon head and then talk about it"

This thread will discuss any Lupin-related media before 2000. Currently, I'm watching Lupin's first series, and I like the episodic nature of the show. The episodes stand by themselves and have been consistently interesting. The adult themes of the series are not too much and add to the series. It gives the writers more room to be creative. Overall the series has been very enjoyable, and I'd recommend it. The first two movies and Fareware to Nostradamus are also great content.

So what did Miyazaki mean by this? Did he really imply that every Lupin iteration that he did not work on was an impostor? Or is that a misinterpretation

It kind of depends on what you mean by "better." Part 1 is undeniably more consistent throughout its entire runtime in terms of overall quality, and Part 2 is a lot more inconsistent; some absolute stinkers can be followed by the best episodes in the show. What Part 2 has going for it is that its good episodes are extremely good.

But it also depends on whether you mean "better" in terms of writing or in terms of quality of animation or direction. As far as well-written goes, there are good episodes all throughout the show. In terms of animation, it's a little harder to explain.
The episodes directed by Miyazaki himself are the most acclaimed episodes of the show from an animation perspective, but they're not the only well-animated episodes in the show and far from the only ones with notable animation. The studio that animated the Miyazaki episodes (Telecom) worked on the movie Castle of Cagliostro and animated 11 episodes of Part 2. For pre-Cagliostro episodes, there are 72, 77, 82, 84, 99, and 105, and for post-Cagliostro episodes, there are 143, 145, 151, 153, and 155.

Besides Episodes 145 and 155, Miyazaki did not have any involvement in the episodes, but Yasuo Otsuka did, who was a legendary animator and a great influence on Miyazaki, not to mention working on the series since Part 1. I find it sad that most people attribute the higher animation quality of those episodes to Miyazaki, because I feel like the Telecom episodes are much more of an accomplishment for Otsuka. He had to work with a bunch of newbie animators who were horrid at their jobs; their work on Episode 72 was apparently so laughably terrible that he had to fire a good chunk of the studio, then animate nearly the entirety of the episode by himself. The rest of the early telecom episodes were about the team trying to find its footing; the best animated out of all of them, I'd say, is probably Episode 99, which happens to be the very first anime to ever be aired in stereo.
After Castle of Cagliostro, the studio's episodes had a significant increase in quality; 143 and after are all really well animated and fun episodes. 143 is one of my personal favorites due to it being storyboarded by Yuzo Aoki, a great animator who has a really unique style (he was the lead animation director on Mystery of Mamo). It's cool to see his storyboards, which normally get adapted in his own style of limited animation to Telecom's high quality standard, leading to one of the most visually detailed and charming episodes of the show from a visual perspective.

But I could go on forever about the show. Part 2: What it lacks in consistency makes up for it in artistic variety. I didn't even talk that much about Yuzo Aoki and his fantastic work on the show or the Oh Pro episodes. 
I feel like it also kind of boils down to there being no real proper categorization in official home releases (because it's not standard), and the home video releases were either random episodes or the full chronological set. I feel like it'd be way more useful had they categorized episodes by who worked on them rather than their numbers. A good resource for knowing who worked on what is on this page is:

I think it's important that the resolution of SEL comes with Lain talking to a couple consisting of a teacher and alice, now a teacher-in-training. Modern homes and the modern family are alienated from reality, but the love of a schoolfriend or the genuine care of a good teacher still offers salvation.

It was always lame and gay, but I know what you mean. RWBY is a posterchild for failed potential: it maybe could have been SO COOL if they didn't do X and Y and Z in the later seasons and also A-V in the early seasons. RWBY has been incredibly valuable to me if only as a showcase of what you should never ever ever EVER even dream of doing with your story.
The chief sin of RWBY was giving it a plot. The Red trailer is my perfect vision of RWBY: no dialogue, no real directions for plot, just stylized action with neat costumes and other setpieces. Could've been neat for a season or two. Unfortunately we got the worlbuilding clusterfuck that is Remnant and the bassackwards characterizations and tone of s3 forwards.
Season 1 and arguably 2 are watchable because they have the underdog charm. Clearly a small team just doing this shit for fun. Helps that everything was freely available on YT. After that the series got some real popularity and budget and wham, no more underdog effect. I don't mind s3 so much because it does an almost passable job balancing intrigue and wacky character moments, even if the finale was the death knell for any remaining quality in the series. I have nothing good to say about s4 onwards aside from one or two characters that are sort of neat in a vacuum even if they got screwed over by an incompetent and disorganized writing staff. I have kept up with the series as a case study of sorts despite my abysmal opinion of it. So, RWBY is shit. Realistically, there's no way it couldn't have been shit. It was shit practically from day 1 with no visible path out of the shit. Maybe a decent writer could have made something engaging, but then it wouldn't be recognizable as RWBY. What went wrong? Too much to list. What frustrates me the most?
>played quick and loose introducing new characters
>cheap deaths that just feel like a middle finger, see above
>Characters treated like a game of hot potato
>Awkward comedic relief
Early seasons get the pass because they're awkward in general but later seasons get really bad with this, remembering "oh yeah we used to try and be funny sometimes" and then slaughtering an attempt at drama with it.
>Retarded worlbuilding
>Retarded magic system
>Tonal bait-and-switch (audience betrayal variety, not clever subversion)
>pandered
I've spent far too much time on this series. I've been watching since season 2 I believe. It's SHIT and there was never any other option. I might recommend the first two seasons, maybe, as a homework project for someone who wants to know about creative processes and common pitfalls. That's it.

Q. How generous do you think the sizing is on Niniba's collection of cat pillows?
Anonymous Sun 10/03/2024 4:58:57 AM 8 months ago No. 392
The more I watch Dokkan, the more I realize how mediocre the entire show has become. Remember in season 1 when they needed seeds to replenish their Porons? Well, now the Ojamajos can use as much magic as they want without any consequences, unlike in Season 1 where this was always a problem for them. Now, we see them wasting magical stage on the most stupid bullshit imaginable, whereas in the early seasons it was used for more complex situations. It makes me wonder why they need magical stage in the first place if each of them has a lot more magical power than they did in the earlier seasons (just imagine the conversion rate of their current seeds used to replenish their porons compared to the ones in the first season).
You know what annoys the fuck out of me? Majo Rika screaming about being in debt constantly throughout every episode, needing the girls to achieve high sales figures, but we're never told how much debt Majo Rika actually is in. We just have to assume that it's a high number, BUT WE'RE NOT EVEN TOLD IN WHAT TYPE OF CURRENCY SHE'S IN DEBT IN! We're not even allowed to know, despite the Maho Dou being shown in every single episode, how much money the store is earning for Majo Rika to be 24/7 in debt. I remember when they showed the new magical cash register in season 1, and I instantly assumed they were going to let us immerse ourselves in the details of the store. Like, I instantly thought back to that game Recettear and thought it was going to be like that game almost, but no, the magical cash register is just there. It's just standing there in every episode, and nothing happens with it. So the question I ask is, what was the point of making an episode about getting it if it's just some background prop? Why do they assume the viewer is so stupid to understand any of these details if they showed them?
Clearly, not a single person at that studio gives a single flying shit about the small details, of which there are NONE. I feel like I could go on and on about what is wrong with this series, but just fucking know that the writers really like to set a bunch of rules at first just so later they could completely forget about them.

I've been watching the anime after reading the original VN and 0, both of which I've enjoyed greatly. But man, this adaptation I really am not able to enjoy
The editing is obnoxious, the characters are flanderized, the color palette is grey and depressing, the flow of information is all jumbled and it rushes through the story at a absolutely breakneck pace.
To those that enjoy the anime, could you explain why? I don't mean it condescendingly, I am legitimately curious. Whenever I watch it I just wish I was reading the VN instead.

keep in mind i only made it to episode 6
I had gotten interested in this anime because of john titor himself. I grew up listening to episodes of Coast to Coast AM and i had heard re-runs of old episodes with titor being a subject and with titor himself. I had read all of his posts online on the Coast to Coast AM BBS and the time travelers forum.

Needless to say, I'm a bit of a fan so when I heard about him being mentioned in a anime that was easily accessible to me i bit the bait. At first i was hooked, CERN? Check, One world totalitarian socialist government? Check, Titor?, Check. I especially like the labcoat guy.
>editing is obnoxious
Maybe i'm the retard but i think it has to do with time dilation
I liked the anime at first but the second they introduced the tranny i kind of zonked out. At first the sex jokes where witty but then it became an annoyance but that's just a nit-pick Maybe I should push forward anyway and see if it gets better and focuses on titor more? i think that annoyed me the most, that the focus was on stupid shit instead of saving the damn world or details on how or why shit is happening like that satellite crashing and whatever Or perhaps i should skip it and just read the VN?

Thats something the anime fucks up, specifically the dub but the Japanese version as well to a degree. Lukako in the VN is not a tranny, even if it might initially appear otherwise.
>Or perhaps i should skip it and just read the VN?
Yep, the VN is at least 10 times better than the anime. Go for the Steam translation and just push through the slice of life segments, you wont regret it. Also important to note: The sex jokes and retarded gags are mainly the anime's doing, the VN has a lot less of them.

If you haven't seen this anime, watch it! Although I assume most of us here have seen it already. It's endearing, funny, memorable, and endlessly rewatchable, not to mention TOP COMFY. Even after so many years, I think it remains the best anime of its kind. The manga is even better.
With that out of the way, who is best?

The manga is presented in chronological order while the anime is split up and kinda randomized. something interesting i noticed is a scene in the manga where Osaka is wearing an Ultraman mask. Also, sometimes cats are rendered in hyper-realistic fashion which in the anime cats are cartoony 100% of the time. Another thing is osaka speaking French to tadakichi the only word she knew tho was "please"

i finished reading azu, it felt like there was more content there then the anime. not to say the anime was bad but it just was longer. id recommend the manga. there was roughly four extra azu related mangas, made to celebrate the anniversary of the series. one was basically a bonus story, another was a fan anthology of short azu stories made by diffrent authors, there was a second fan thing and another was a crossover with fist of the north star.

I really enjoyed the bizare dream like quality azumanga goes into like reality and fiction blends into this altered state of some type. It's made me obsessed with finding anime/manga that blurs the line of reality although ive found nothing yet besides one manga so far but it was a horror manga and not a comedy like azu
