The song is called "I'm ALIVE!" by Becca which was somewhat popular in Japan since it was featured in the ED of Black Butler but not so much in the west. She produced songs for Sony Music Entertainment Japan during her solo career since she signed a contract with them and she also had live performances in Japan: https://youtu.be/dy7njd1sK0k [Play]
The video itself utilized MMD and many other tools as seen in the credits, and was actually a entry into the "5th MMD Cup Final"
What is the MMD Cup?
The MMD Cup is a competition where participants use free software such as "MikuMikuDance," "RinRinDance," and "iSTDance" to create one video based on their choice of themes from several options. These videos are then publicly released in two rounds: the preliminary round (work-in-progress version) and the finals (completed version) within a specified period. Participants compete to earn points calculated based on the number of My List registrations for their videos.
In the video Miki Hoshii is supposed to be the main vocalist and based on the description the author even tried to change the voice to match more Miki's
I'm currently developing a tool that converts only the voice quality frequency from vocals with echoes and chorus extracted from the difference with karaoke audio sources into someone else's voice! (Since it's a transformation, the theme is "change").
As a sample, I tried applying Miki's voice to BECCA's I'm ALIVE. It's possible to adjust it to sound more like Miki, but doing so makes the syllable (pronunciation) noise worse...
It's still in the experimental stage, so it's not perfect yet.
Growing up a bit and thanks to learning English with Miki Miki.

The cgi looks pretty sharp, did they use mo-cap or was it animated normally?

>>1657
Given it's 2010 a mocap suit would have probably run them thousands of dollars so it is safe to say that the majority of them were all animated normally. Might seem like a month's work but that's just how dedicated a lot of them were back then.

https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6867696 [Play] A hand drawn MAD featuring Hey Pachuco X IM@S.
I've always wanted to make an anime, so I created this using NicoNico Movie Maker. Unfortunately, it was too large to upload. However, I managed to extract it from NMM somehow, so I'm uploading it now, albeit with some embarrassment.
I also cut out the broken bit he talks about at the end but if you are wondering what NMM (Nico Movie Maker) is basically this used to be a free video software which allowed you to directly upload a video to Nico Nico Douga. In terms of video editing capabilities it allowed you to do stuff similar to Flip Note Studio which is how this video came to be. The most interesting part about this is that it did not upload videos to Nico Nico Douga in a video file format instead it uploaded the videos using the SWF (flash) format and a video would indicate it was created using NMM when the starting letters were not sm but nm. Of course then in 2018 Nico Nico Douga converted all SWF files on their website to the mp4 file format instead.
https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/ニコニコムービーメーカー
A software developed by Internet Co., Ltd. and distributed for free.
You can easily create kamishibai-style videos by combining still images and audio. The created videos can be directly uploaded to NicoNico Douga from the software.
Also, due to the characteristics of SWF files, for kamishibai-style videos, the file size is generally smaller compared to uploading with FLV or MP4, making it popular for music videos.
At the NicoNico Taikai 2008 Winter event on December 4, 2008, a video-compatible version, "NicoNico Movie Maker (Video)," was announced (paid software). It seems possible to create NicoWari videos and @BGM videos with it.

Idolm@ster x Hidamari Sketch = IM@S Sketch: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5992687 [Play]
This is a Hand-drawn MAD Hidamari Sketch rendition and I do love the effort put it into it.
The characters replacements are as follows:
Yunocchi = Yayoi
Miyako = Miki
Hiro = Ritsuko
Sae = Yukiho
So, I traced the opening of Hidamari Sketch.
I used the music from the special edition opening, and the visuals are a mix of the regular version and the special edition.
I also included several of the special edition eyecatches.

It took a lot of time, but I had a lot of fun making it!

I've started a blog: http://blog.livedoor.jp/sen_ritsu/
Someone also UTAUd Haruka's and Miki's voices to match the OP: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5996438 [Play]

Now, I want to get a bit real here and mention that I'm honestly not really happy about the character replacements.
When I think about it, why is Yunocchi replaced with Yayoi, who's the energetic and cheerful type? This seems more fitting for Miyako, given both their energetic personalities I think Yayoi's slightly strange, childish demeanor really just mirrors Miyako's charm. Yunocchi, with her hardworking and sometimes self-doubting nature, aligns more closely with someone I think like Haruka のワの who both share this trait of dedication mixed with a bit of uncertainty about their abilities and clumsyness. Miyako and Miki might share being laid back character types, but that's where I think the similarities just end. Miki's nonchalance stems from her being rich which is why she is lazy in the first place and tends to not take things too seriously. (Yayoi and Miyako are also both poor and struggle financially as well.)
For Sae, pairing her with Yukiho... What? Yukiho at least from how I see it is the really annoying scaredy type where she just constantly screams at anything to do with men and just starts digging holes (idolm@ster 2 made her even more annoying with the VA replacement). It's a no-brainer to me that Sae's cool, smart, and mature demeanor is more similar to Ritsuko, who basically balances her life as an idol and office worker (they both also wear glasses appearance wise) I initially thought maybe Makoto due to her being a tomboy but it makes no sense.
And about Hiro, with her sensitive, caring, and motherly nature, it's pretty clear that someone like Azusa is her perfect match. Hiro's warm and inviting appearance it's similar to Azusa's kind-hearted and approachable personality who is also considered the big sister type.
When you're picking someone to match them in a crossover like this, it's not just about the obvious stuff like looks... You've got to look deeper and really get what makes them tick if you want to make something great, but most likely the case scenario here was that this was this guy's most favorite idols and he wasn't going to find the motivation to animate with other characters in the first place.

The translated title is: Satellite Love @ Miku-san (Original) by HMO
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5570346 [Play]
You can find the album here: https://mikudb.moe/album/hmo-and-works-neue-stimme/
I used to listen to this a lot back then especially when I was depressed or something I just would put this on and kind of drift to sleep in my bed. It's a rather very unique sounding song and I especially love how unique HMO makes Hatsune Miku's voice sound in this.

>>390
You know looking at this video I kind of got a community project idea so I'll just write it out before I forget it completely.
Basically we'd make a similar video using the same song (Maybe even slightly change it to fit 22chan style) where we would get someone to buy a suit that looks similar to how Anonymous looks and then they would recreate a similar looking box like she is holding with >>390's image inside of it and they would do a bunch of poses like the girl in the video showing off this box but instead of the background being real life places we would replace it with a bunch of random interesting internet websites and basically it would be as if 22chan is visiting all of these internet websites. We could also rewrite the lyrics of the song like those threads on /sewers/ that we have, ex: >>>/sewers/756/#756
Thoughts? Please let me know if this sounds retarded.

>>1653
I would consider nothing to be impossible or retarded, Unless it attracts unwanted attention, And leads what little community we have left down the wrong path. I would also consider security, And logistics. If 4chan can do this https://files.catbox.moe/7qb03n.mp4 [Play] nothing is impossible. We can pretty much do anything.
What i mean by logistics is The people we have and their abilities. Remember that after the great purge we maybe have like 30 people or so. another this is for an example, If lyrics need to be sung i'd sound kinda retarded but i can do it anyway if needed. I am working on my art skills and really i can only draw shitty ms-paint art if that. I can write, and brainstorm and anything involving music is impossibe to me. I can attempt to write music lyrics but shit like lyrical flow isn't my thing lol.
That pretty much goes for everybody else, Some people might have actual musical skill or great drawing ability, It all depends on the amount of people we have.
It also depends of the nature of the project, Would we rely on the OP as a lynch pin? Would it be frustrating for you if its just you, and another person? Who would do the editing? Think of the neocities thread, Not to be rude to the OP of that project but since he's gone or dead any additions to the thread is impossible. (also it might be frustrating to an OP of a project if he is the only one that has to animate something by himself for an example) It can be argued the 22chan Album thread on /mu/ is the same but thanks to embeded mp3s it is now possible to continue the project forever. Even without the OP to add the project to bandcamp, the project lives on forever.
About privacy, As everyone knows this is an anonymous website so anything that can lead to people recognising eachother and so on is something to avoid. As you mentioned about the fellow dressed like anonymous, He should either stand in a room which is either blank or should take measures to make it like those green screen rooms they use to make movies or like what people do to photograph stuff to sell online. Covering walls and floors with sheets and such. I would ask the person to wear a green skinsuit under the suit too. Another factor is that he can literally take the pic of himself holding the thing and go and just draw over it (ms paint or otherwise to make himself look like anonymous. The latter might actually look pretty cool like A-ha's take on me
https://youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 [Play]
But that is my opinion and it depends on what everyone would find enjoyable.
Another thing about privacy is niggers and discord. The guy running the neocities thread had the password on the site and a bunch of niggers took advantage of that and shat on the project. Also those type of asshats from other communities trying to take advantage of a project like this to force culture and shit that didn't exist here or is unwanted. If someone from elsewhere wanted to help i don't see the problem with it, Just be wary of not letting people take advantage of shit.
I guess you'll have to see how many people might be interested in such a project and if years go by without any biters you might have to scale it down unless you plan on doing all the heavy lifting which might suck for you. I don't think its retarded at all, If you said something like "lets make a 22chan anime" i might have scoffed since thats a ton of work and takes alot of people to produce. This seems simple enougth.

>>1655
>Remember that after the great purge we maybe have like 30 people or so.
I think it actually feels like we have half of that number or maybe even less which does feel a bit discouraging I should say. I checked a bunch of statistic websites which say we get around 500 unique lurkers daily, but sometimes it feels like it's just those 30 people refreshing the page repeatedly, or maybe it's just bots trying to scrape information from our site.
>If lyrics need to be sung i'd sound kinda retarded but i can do it anyway if needed.
I don't think you have to be a good singer to participate in something like that just as long as you tried to the best of your ability and aren't just shitting into your mic half of the time. Plus, nowadays, we can always use AI voices to mask our voices or software like Vocaloid or UTAU if anyone has experience with those tools.
>It also depends of the nature of the project, Would we rely on the OP as a lynch pin? Would it be frustrating for you if its just you, and another person? Who would do the editing?
Those questions and scenarios I guess should be going into account when writing up the OP of the thread in question. However, a lot of the time, it feels a bit like procrastination or just being told to not do it because we get stuck dwelling on these questions and just end up not creating anything to begin with.
> I would ask the person to wear a green skinsuit under the suit too.
Yeah I was thinking about that when I said mentioned an Anonymous suit but I guess they would have to figure out who is going to record them in the first place taking those shots. I guess they could just place a phone camera that takes a video in a bunch of random locations to match the same type of shots as in the original video and then just take screenshots from that video, but really just making sure they don't by accident share something that could compromise them.
>he can literally take the pic of himself holding the thing and go and just draw over it.
That would also be a good idea since the Anonymous character is somewhat easier to draw compared to a lot of other things since he is just a lot less detailed.
> Also those type of asshats from other communities trying to take advantage of a project like this to force culture and shit that didn't exist here or is unwanted. If someone from elsewhere wanted to help i don't see the problem with it, Just be wary of not letting people take advantage of shit.
Yeah that is important to take into account and so it is important that we base the video on the current 22chan imageboard culture and not let some random outsider come in and try to insert their own shit into this.

>>1663
>However, a lot of the time, it feels a bit like procrastination or just being told to not do it because we get stuck dwelling on these questions and just end up not creating anything to begin with.

Alright then, So the thread should just be made anyhow. Win or lose, Interest or disinterest, It is better to have the thread up then not trying anything at all. Having it up Also means that people might be intrested in the site in a good way and it might help build a userbase. Also what ever stragglers that browse here regularly will have something fun to do on the regular. The goal now is to make it accessable as possible for anyone to join in, To explain how this shit will be made and make as many threads as possible to help make it. Your probably better off having several threads to make it easier to talk, and create shit, As you mentioned that one thread could be made for the music re-write, another can be made for art and so on.

Old forums are some of the places that lost most of their content I think. Usenet is mostly archived and even searchable, but when it comes to some of the 2000s forums you can only hope for snapshots from the wayback machine, but unfortunately they're often very incomplete. The most disappointed I've been about content getting wiped from the face of the earth is probably Ryan Armand's work. He is a webcomic artist that I discovered on 22chan. He had a website, but at some point he just disappeared; and while his most popular works (like Minus and "The Mildly Inconvenient Journey of Pelen Purul") are luckily fully archived, some of his other comics are almost completely lost. Socks for example is a comic about the ghost of a girl. The author wasn't very satisfied with it and wanted to redraw it, but from the few pages that remain it seemed interesting regardless. Here's what little is left: https://kiwisbybeat.net/socks/part-1

i can't even see how bright RGBs could even work with gaming, wouldn't that be distracting?

>>896
Not at all. It's hardly in my peripherals. I never notice it anymore, even with keyboard gaming. Now, a full RGB setup with wall lights and the computer on your desk? That might be a little distracting, but that's not what I have thank Christ

>>894
How much did yours cost? I've been seeing some 100% mechanical ones but they're going for 50 euros or something like that.
>>896
Can't you just set them to an static color? Either way, the lights are pretty nice when it's nighttime or early in the morning and you can clearly see the keyboard thanks to them so you can keep the monitor light low.

Do you think Cats like the light?

The keyboard on my laptop is falling apart, it honestly makes me regret not having a seperate keyboard and a monitor. if the keys fell off, it would be easier to put on again or replace.

Tonight we're starting Houkago Teibo Nisshi

Tonight we're watching Summer game fest 2023

>>981
Today we will view two MSG Origin episodes. It will be streamed in roughly two hours.

>>1001
Today we will finish the MSG Origin Series (in two hours). There will also be an important announcement about the MMC's activity levels for the foreseeable future.

>>175
Yeah, They provide no value whatsoever and are a waste of time unless you don't really give a damn, And if that's the case then that's fine. (part of upsides of skipping episodes especally when it comes to the /MMC/ is that it'll save more time for other stuff.)
More episodes that come to mind are, Cat scratch fever, The underdwellers, The terrible trio, Love is a croc, Animal act,
I have mixed feelings for Prophecy of doom, though. The story is neat but the animation is for shit on that one.

>>45
There's always two extremes and i think its good to find balance between them. Being a lax bitch who don't give no damn and would gladly watch rome burn is retarded, but witch hunting and raising cain is equally gay. About anime i think there's a partial truth, Not that it was mentioned per say but wouldn't JOJO's bizarre adventure get filtered by the no normalfag rule? Pretty sure hunterxhunter got put on kibosh from the MMC for the same reason. Gundam was allowed even though it contains nudity and we even had a gundam thread. IF someone made a thread for Boku no pico (do not google that) even if there was no nudity or somesuch posted it probably would get deleted anyway (it better)
See what i mean? If someone wanted to talk about friday the 13th then theres no harm in that and if someone requested for that thread to be deleted because "r- rated movie bad" then they are quite retarded, but if someone talks about the scene in predator 2 where some woman is having sex with some dude and either posts screenshots or says something like "god damn her cumming is so fucking hot" then that should be deleted, but predator 2 per-se can still be talked about.
There is a time and place for everything.

>>102
>wouldn't JOJO's bizarre adventure get filtered by the no normalfag rule?
Why?
Our first anime thread is about death note, which is one of the most popular anime of all time. I personally don't think that thread is low quality or normalfag, do you disagree?
In general, I think popular =/= normalfag, otherwise you'd have to ban discussion of films like fight club, godfather, pulp fiction; music like mozart, the beatles, linkin park; videogames like dark souls, half life, super mario... you get the idea.

What I'm trying to say is that we need a distinction between "popular" and "trendy". Trendy stuff *is* normalfag and it should be avoided. Take the starwars sequels. Popular stuff on the other hand can still be worthwhile sometimes. Where the boundary between the two lies is up to the community to decide

>Boku no pico
That's nsfw, so it is against the rules
>even if there was no nudity
How the fuck do you propose a hentai have no nudity? What would it even be at that point?

Anime has a lot of value to offer rather than just degeneracy, and has in fact had a great influence on imageboard culture as a whole. Even if we hate new 4chan, we owe the old one a lot, and we would do well to respect our roots

>>102
I think you are autistically overthinking this, my man.

>you'd have to ban discussion of films like fight club, godfather, pulp fiction; music like mozart, the beatles, linkin park; videogames like dark souls, half life, super mario... you get the idea.
I dont get why this would be bad, all of these have been discussed to death and nothing of value can be gained by talking about them, any and all meaning that could be taken out of them has already been and run into the ground. Outside of Mozart the music you listed don't even have anything to really discuss, they're basic pop music with little interesting in them. The Beatles can only really be appreciated from a production standpoint and even then they got helplessly outmatched by other bands in that department, call me a contrarian but most music outside of classical, jazz and some progressive rock has little to be discussed as its consumption is by design meant to be passive rather than active. Beatles are meant to be heard on the radio while you're on a morning commute, this means that it cannot have any profound musical ideas to explore, it has to be a simple monophonic melody with basic harmonization and simple rhythms.
You can discuss the lyrical content, perhaps, but why not discuss true poets in that case?

Here is a better question, Why didn't you know? Why where you absent? We need help from every anon to grow this site back up. We need discussion, activity and creativity and lurking isn't helping anything. It was bullshit that people just fled after twoot decided to abandon the community and the people that fled didn't notice the damn staff announcement that 22chan was literally coming back both on old 22 and livechan. We have been back for roughly a damn year now and even now the people who fled are talking on other communities about our site being dead even though its not that hard to re-fresh the fucking link to 22chan.org
I'm not trying to dunk on you too hard, maybe your circumstances like work or whatever prevented you from finding our home again. We all need to seriously chip in here. We must re-build this community. When the site died lurkers came out from the woodworks because they waited too long and missed out from posting. Never again must that happen.

you should use the opportunity of 22chan being back to your advantage..

>im scared of being banned and having my post deleted
YOU DON'T NEED TO OVERTHINK WHAT YOU POST. worst thing you can do is be scared. all you need to do is ask questions if you are unsure about something, lurk the board, and read the rules. the worst thing you can do is make a shit thread with a snappy one liner and break the rules on purpose. I have gotten banned before and I talked the situation out and was back on my feet in seconds with no real problem and no harm done. your post doesn't need to be a fuckin novel or a Picasso or whatever bullshit. just use your brain when you make a post and deal with the consequences.
>i dont know what to post i ran out of ideas, im bored, etc.
Browse all the threads, and every post board by board. If that doesn't give you ideas, look online for archived 22 threads/posts and get ideas from that. Hell, there's so much content on the internet, you'll never be bored and there are still plenty of stuff to talk about. What you are is a lazy cat.
Record everything you see, hear and feel. Record audio, use a notepad digital or otherwise, write anything interesting or how you feel about things as they happen.
When you consume media, do so in a sense that makes it easy to digest and explain online. When I read a manga, comic, tv show I go by a single page, chapter, volume and episode per day based on what my brain can tolerate.
Remember to document and explain, not just mindlessly consume. Take pics and screenshot regularly if you feel that it can aid discussion or make a point or its just funny.
When I watch a tv show or movie, I take a break every 10 or so minutes to think about what I watch and to take note of anything interesting that I can then translate into content.
Make a fucking thread even if you feel that it would be ignored or something. I will personally go out of the way to review it, and I'm sure others will too. (this goes for really anything including music and vidya)
If you don't know what to watch, read etc then document what people here consume and make a list and watch/read it yourself.
Here is a kind of accurate list of anime featured on the site as being good.
https://bin.disroot.org/?7779bf9a914a35a8#A4d6f5JtfqLp2r7Zzbn2bJKB9u2sachPrt12BQX3CPwE
This is not a perfect list and I'll update it in the future with stuff I missed. I am going through one by one and reviewing the manga version of the titles featured in that list. so far, I knocked off azumanga and lain. If I can be productive, You can too. do not burn yourself out when posting and save posts and threads for later. I mostly post 5 times per day and save some extra posts for later or in case of an emergency. if i post more than 5, then I get burnt out and it takes me a few days to recover.
>i want more people to use the site and I don't know what to do.
1 do nothing.
2 tell your friends and family you can trust.
4 word of mouth
3 advertise, but actually use your brain. look online on how to advertise. look online how 22chan advertised in the past and take notes on how people felt, what they liked and hated. you do not want to be a parasite and displace a nice altchan or a communities userbase just so we can be more active. we want friends, not enemies. you do not want to make enemies or be rude. you do not want to make a personalized ad like you see on billboards. you do not want to advertise on a community that has porn, a really bad history (doesn't matter if you like it, we don't like lolcows and sketchy admins) or anything 22chan is against. You probably should only deal with people who want to find a site like ours if it's allowed by that community.
If you don't know what you are doing or doing this out of desperation, then don't do it. If you feel that the staff will clean up whatever mess you make then you're a retard. (Worst case scenario just let the staff advertise)
I don't claim to be the expert nor am I expecting what I posted to be taken seriously, I'm just doing this for posterity.
