You watched am anime with a bad-ass soundtrack.

>>156385465
OST was pretty great. Especially near the end

>>156384481
Im on episode 12 and could care less if I finished it at this point, does it get any better soon or do I just have shit taste?

Oh nice a thread I'm on episode 6 and I agree the soundtrack is amazing.

What is this Lain ripoff?

>>156388420
>Lain ripoff?
lol 2/10 bait made me reply.

>>156388464
What? It looks so similar to Lain. I even thought it was Lain until I opened the thread.

>>156384481
Humanity as we know it has ended and Yoshii did nothing wrong.

Easily one of the top 5 endings in anime history.
The story made me emotionally attached to almost every major character, especially to everything that happened to Ichise, Ran, Shinji, Sakimura and Toyama
Honestly the ensemble cast was easily one of the best written in that decade, its a fucking travesty that Despera will never happen.

>>156388163
Your about to watch the best parts of the show, if you don't get hooked at the end at episode 15 then drop it.

>>156388650
Thanks will do

>>156388597
I'll always remember that scene. Ichise's expression is just heartbreaking and it's so well-animated (this and Takeshi Koike's fight scene in the first ep are probably the two highlights in the show as far as animation goes).

I also kinda wish Hamasaki kept on doing these types of monochrome shots in his more recent shows, he tends to go a bit overboard with the grain and filters.

>>156388983
>Takeshi Koike's fight scene in the first ep
Wait Koike did the boxing scene? Goddamn now I need to go back and rewatch that shit.
Also I wish they'd give Hamasaki better work then garbage like Terraformars.

>>156384481
Is this the new Lain?

Yeah, that was Koike. He got credited, and no other scene in the first episode looks like his work. The musculature on both characters is more exaggerated and the limbs are longer than they usually look, not to mention the block shading (when you can see it behind all the piercing white light and the grain).

TF is a bit unfortunate given the censoring and Liden being bad, but I appreciate how much he was able to do with that show with how limited his resources were. It could be pretty hype when things weren't struggling to stay on-model.

Also forgot to mention that Hamasaki and Koike are probably good buddies, they're both Yoshiaki Kawajiri proteges and have worked together tons of times. Hamasaki did key animation for him on the last episode of the Trava OAV (no idea if pic related was his, but it's a hunch) which was released the same year as Texhnolyze, interestingly.

Hamasaki would go on to do "first key animation" for Koike on Redline a few years later as well.

It has the same character designer as Lain but its pretty different

>>156389137
No and you don't seem to understand

>>156389998
The connections to lain are deeper than that (Chiaki J. Konaka and Yasuyuki Ueda reprise their roles as writer and producer respectively, and I'm pretty sure the show was described as the 5 year anniversary of the lain staff minus Ryutaro Nakamura), but yeah, it doesn't feel quite as connected to ABe as any of his prior works. It's a project that's closer to Ueda and Hamasaki overall.

Really uplifting. Especially the ending.

I'm really enjoying the amount of Texhnolyze threads lately. Anyway what even happened to the people outside of the city, were they killed as well?

She occasionally got a little rape-y but Ichise never said 'no' so she's still good in my books. Also the most fashionable.

The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

This was the most depressing show I've seen and I quite liked it. Even though the second half was rushed a bit, final 6 episodes were great and the show overall is, too. Yoshii was a top tier villain.

That's Yoshii though. His ultimate aim was to call a full-out war between Lux and the Class which would have meant Kano being killed which means no Shapes and the entire city not being murdered/going insane.

Lux didn't deserve a hero like him.

This show is going with Spenger's work "decline of the west". Civilization was going to his end, and Yoshi was tring to give back fire

>>156410771
>and Yoshi was trying to give back fire

He wasn't trying to give back fire, he was trying to start a fire. Yoshi only cared for himself. He's no Prometheus.

>>156384481
should i even bother with this one ? i didn't like lain that much ( because it was pretentious as fuck and used a lot of weird shit instead of using a normal words ) but i fucking loved haibane renmei ( but only because off reki i actually didn't care about it that much until i saw the last episode )

If you can get past the parts without dialogue and if you like really bleak and depressing atmospheres, you'll like this.

Japanese fans took to deciphering the manipulated, hacked up Eng(r)ish that makes up Texhnolyze's written language. Never realized it was Onishi contacting Doc in episode 6.

Apart from the subtitles changing typesets around for the first six episodes or so (the guy said he wouldn't do a v2, unfortunately), yeah, I'd say so.

It might just be preference, but the R1s are a lot darker, with pic related being almost impossible to decipher due to the crushed blacks.

I have never cried so much at any ending

>>156415610
All I felt was rage and disgust at Kano, although Shinji's death got me to feel a bit sad.

>>156415610
What was so sad about it?
>MC spent over 50% of the episodes crying over his missing limb
>Ran was a Rei clone but without feelings
>Her death was unmoving. She basically killed herself and its hard to call it a death when she is 99% robot (think of a computer just shutting down)
Only real sad thing was MC dying last and all alone, just like how he started in episode one. But thats only because thats the one thing we can relate to with him, so 95% of that sadness just comes from us projecting.

>>156415783
>Ran was a Rei clone but without feelings

High bit depth debanding.

>>156414493
>I'll give it a download and see if it's better than kuchikirukia's.
It's not. It has VOBSubs, and they dropped AQ to deal with the source noise, leaving the flat areas blurry with still some blocky noise movement.
x264 shouldn't be used as a denoiser.

>>156416991
>It has VOBSubs
Yeah, I didn't post my findings but yikes, ugly-ass vobsubs. Though I probably should've noticed based on the uploader's comments.

>>156417195
The low AQ also exacerbates the banding. It turns into melted wax.
