What's so bad about having the same color scheme as somebody else? It's not like it affects the sound or anything

Yeah, I can understand why you'd say that. But it helped that I saw dubbed episodes first, and then tried a subbed one and was like "naaah". I think it was the lyrics of the songs that did it for me, and since I didn't have the idea of "can't understand/speak xxxxxxx" as a major element from the beginning, it wasn't a major part of my idea of the mythos of the series. Degraded, yes. But I don't care because I enjoyed it.

I generally prefer subs to dubs, though, unless there is a lot of English being spoken.

Yeah, that's true.

Having watched the anime and live action movie first, I was surprised by how effective the original manga was at portraying the music scenes.

I wonder if the people who had TV's the size of a computer desk with a screen the size of a mouse pad felt the same way when TV screens increased to 17" size, haha. The manufacturer's don't care about if you are watching old stuff, it's all about the new. The future.

The thing that annoys me most is how all the new games have such tiny text that you can't read on a smaller screen. That's the only thing I don't like about the oncoming future of super televisions for all.

I'm sorry, but Beck Dubs all the way. I'll watch a dub if it has good voice acting and I haven't seen the sub yet. Read Or Die, Eureka 7, Lucky Star... Because the original audio track CAN have bad voice acting, and I'm not just going to give them a pass just because it's the original Japanese. English language dub can actually be better sometimes. I won't discriminate.

You really MUST read the manga for Beck. And the live action movie was quite good, too.

@ForABrokenEarth: haha, I'd never thought about having an issue with the accents. The main character in Read Or Die doesn't have any USA accent, I don't think. I can't really place it, though. I want to say it's Canadian, but I'm not really sure.

So... like... is anybody going to talk about anything other than anime? Maybe we should talk about something like New Entertainment Systems so that it looks like it's vaguely related to chipmusic even though it isn't.

I hate the new digital TV stuff that they forced everybody to switch to. At least with the old analog signal if there was interference it'd just get fuzzy and noisy, but with the new system it just skips and freezes so you can't even kind of watch your shows. It's so annoying. Better quality/Interrupted program is not a good trade-off.

These questions can be more easily solved if you come to the irc (there is a "Chat' link to a java plugin that will let you into the irc via browser if you don't have a client.)

I say this because I can't answer your question, but there is tech support in the chat

Edit: also, botb has a forums, too

for a second I thought this was a legit request :\

4mat, we're not talking about chipmusic as a whole, we're talking about chipmusic.org specifically. There is way more to chipmusic than this place, but I don't have to tell you that. Just wanted to clear that up.

Good stuff, and I totally agree. That's one of the things I like about the current way it is. There is no single "The Man" unit who passes his judgement on our musics.

you lost me here, though. Erroneous assumptions are not nice

I wasn't even thinking of any kind of competition. I was thinking more along the lines of "compilation" (yeah yeah I know everybody hates those), Let's make [theme themed] music events, etc where anybody can participate, but where there is incentive to try hard. It's not about being validated, it's just about having fun and doing something creative together as a group. No prizes. No money. Just time and creativity.

I just like it when things like that are sanctioned by administration, but I understand your point about "just do it yourself". Like the Stockwave thing that just happened.

Idio: Maybe you should check out the "Chipmusic everyone should have" thread, and/or try finding chipmusic in a style that he already likes. Or, you know, just share the stuff that you like personally.

BTW, the #chipmusic irc channel on the irc.esper.net server is a great place to ask random questions that you wouldn't necessarily want to create a new thread about for whatever reason. It's not very active all the time, but there are a bunch of people there and I've never had a question go ignored. For an IRC client I recommend mIRC or HydraIRC. If anybody has questions on getting setup feel free to pm me.
