Well at least we know the cute Nodame hair will have to come back.. right? (okay.. we don't know... but we can guess and hope)

I'm guessing it will.... It's her 'do of choice... Even before Nodame, which those pics are... :D

Oh, I won't complain, I think she's pretty cute either way. Maybe I'll treat myself to another ep. of Nodame tonight... I think I'm on 7 (that relaxed second viewing I remember sharing about)

Pretty good with long hair, too, if you ever saw Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo SP... Though the movie was forgettable.

I'm downloading the HD (1280x720) version in anticipation of getting an HDTV in the near future... :fingerscrossed:

I'll have to get that too (I watch them all on my computer - I'm not a television person)

She's so adorable when she brings the rice balls and miso to the RS Oke practice!! Okay... I'll include a silly emoticon: :inlove:

btw... can you direct me to where you're getting the a 720p torrent? The one I found on Isohunt has no seeds :(

Unfortunately, they're hardsubbed by JTV (baby blue fonts??? :headscratch:), but beggars can't be choosers...

If you're going to do it, it should be ASAP: the number of peers and seeds seem to be dwidling... I'm at Episodes 6 and 7 and they're crawling at a less-than snail's pace. :sweat:

LOL.

I totally adored her embarrassed reaction after she told Stresemann she wanted to be a teacher and be married to Chiaki (in her mongoose outfit, to boot) in Episode 5... Priceless. :victory:

Just one highlight of many... :mrgreen:

Okay.. I've got all 11 going.. I'll keep the torrents open for a week or so after they're done (if they finished) to spread the goodness :) Looks like it won't be tapping out my bandwidth anytime soon though - you ain't kidding - pretty slow. But thanks anyways.. I'll work on getting em.

I've tried to leave mine open, but since my upload speed is barely better than dial up, it's not helping much. :sweat:

Well, my upload rate isn't so great, but I wouldn't mind helping out if possible. I have the 720p raws along with Siantut's (not sure about the spelling there) subs, and perhaps I could upload those somewhere. I could seed a torrent, but either way it might take a while. Who knows, it might be faster than getting it from d-addicts. Nevertheless I'm throwing the option out here for you or any other Nodame fans who may want the raws.

While I appreciate the work of JTV and other fansub groups, there are times when a hardsub version just isn't to my liking, and sadly JTV's take on Nodame falls into that category. I don't mind the coloring of the fonts, but I don't like the extra stuff really. I prefer having subtitles and any explanations that may be needed as it pertains to the show itself.

TOTAL AGREEMENT. :victory:

I'd love to get a copy of the 720p raws... What would you like in return? Blanks? Trade? Yen?

I take it that the raws should sync up with siantut's subs, ne? I might've mentioned it before, but I'm reworking all those subs grammatically....

Yow, the video quality is pretty mediocre... I hope Veoh posts up a better quality one... :fingerscrossed:

LOL, I guess she's married to that geeky guy with the glasses in the CM, ne? :hehe:

Lucky bum. :sweat:

And actually, the quality of the encoding (I just finished downloading #9) is not that great - some serious interlacing issues. Unlike the sars ones I have which while only 706x396 are much smoother looking. Also, to be honest, the degree of artifacting is not that much better on the 720p version. It's like they used low motion compression.. which makes it look really funny when the speed picks up (which happens a lot in Nodame).

They need to have a look at how the American TV encoders do their work at 720p: always 1.07 gb and beautiful encodes. I wish I could make more suggestions, but I haven't done that much compression/encoding work myself (except for 2 seasons of the Simpsons which suffered from the exact same interlacing problems ;-) pfft... amateur)

You're talking about the JTV 720p hardsub, right?

Those issues might be a result of the hardsub... I'm hoping the 720p raws that deseipher has are as near-pure to the source... :fingerscrossed: Then I can do the hardsub myself with the quality settings at maximum. :victory:
