Please excuse the awful awful video quality, I couldn't find anything better. Here is Genkai Ice Coffee. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xsy1qt_genkai-ice-coffee_fun This is my first go at timing, it's also the first time I've converted video files, used editing software and uploaded video to the internet. Yup, I'm an old woman who never used technology before. I would really appreciate some feedback on how I can do this better. I worry about everything, is the font OK, can you read those colours, do the subs go by too fast, did I gently caress up the subs when I compressed the video etc etc.

Matsumoto's subtitles in particular are really fuzzy in both the default player size and in full screen, maybe a compression issue. Also it's a little disorienting to have Hamada in green, everything else I've seen seems to give him blue as a standard colour. Yamasaki is almost always the green one. I guess the waitress gets blue onscreen subs at the end though. Are you translating or using someone else's? There are times where Hamada and Matsumoto are talking in the picture-in-picture and aren't translated, which is weird. But if that's out of your hands, no worries

I'm also totally going to figure out the compression issue! Oh, and the translation is not mine and I agree, I hated those gaps.

zari-gani posted:Dotch Cooking Show is also high on my list of J-TV interests. The show has been officially subbed and shown in the US, but the subtitles are so-so (while mostly accurate, they skip over a bunch of lines and they sound awkward) and I would like to give it a more proper and thorough sub treatment. If you've never seen this show, I highly recommend it and there's a ton of subbed episodes on Youtube. If you like Iron Chef, well I'd say this show is even better.

A friend recommended me "Legal High." It's basically Dr. House if he were a lawyer, or Phoenix Wright if he were an rear end in a top hat. It's pretty good overall, but it's worth watching just for the last episode. It's without a doubt the best ending to a series that I've ever seen in anything.

I thought Legal High was great. It's arranged like a regular pointless fluff drama, but it has some moments of really strong acting and so much viewer trolling. The head corporate lawyer guy is one of my favorite Japanese actors.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but there were a few AmeTalk episodes translated by Shibatabread (like Comedians Who Can't Draw) linked in this thread earlier, that have since been taken down... I was wondering if anyone knew of any other places to find them?

Also Legal High is cheesy as hell and the two leads are insufferable as characters, but it's decent popcorn TV. It'll be good to have something to watch that's not terrible, but that I'm unlikely to get too invested in. e: Would be way better if the calligraphic mathematician chef butler were the main character.

Started watching Legal High thanks to this thread. It is fantastic. The lead male actor is just great. It's cheesy (as most dramas I've seen) but I'd strongly recommend it. The episodic nature makes it an easy and fun watch, the drama never gets very serious, and the court cases are still handled quite well.

One of the best and weirdest Japanese shows ever is Hey! Spring of Trivia. Clips from this show are hard to find online because they get taken down right away by Fuji TV, but there are some good ones up right now so watch them while you can. They'll probably be gone in a month. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVIRxYP2iMg Four esteemed bodyguards are pitted against national elementary school dodgeball champions. They must protect the school principal. The bodyguards speak English so no worries if you don't know a word of Japanese. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdYC8-bj9do Raw fish are left for stray cats, and the fish get heavier and heavier each time to see what the cats' limits are. Pt1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOPh6xlR5ek Pt2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifJfhFRi1uo There are 10 male cats of different breeds and 10 female cats of matching breeds. The male cats are first placed in the female cat pen one by one, then the female cats are placed by the caged male cats one by one to see if they prefer their own breed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_zqTgVyS-g A test to see how long natto string stretches on for until it breaks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-zzgcE39Co Bug fight! Large beetles from around the world are pitted against each other to see which is the strongest. The whole thing was amazing; unfortunately I can only find the final match online, but it's still worth a watch. Pt1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KgN3rrh7jc Pt2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueWJwo7r0mk 100 dogs (all mixed breeds) are tested to see what they do when their owner is suddenly kidnapped before their eyes. Do they follow the van? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkHrTC_N-sg Rolling tires down a ski ramp. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4FXFAltx4Q Ultraman a la Scatman John http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keGgoQKVaZY This is just the show making fun of former Ghana Football Association President Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe's name because it sounds like "meow meow black ball" in Japanese (plus "Tama" and "Kuro" are common cat names). vvv eta: Fixed, thanks. ETA: Some more videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZM6WnLfAes This one's for J-pop fans. If you slow down Yo Hitoto's "Morainaki," it sounds just like Ken Hirai. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8gkrZc9GPE What happens when you slingshot something with the world's biggest rubber band? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAFbQic8q3c How many tissue papers does it take to stop a bullet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6LGiPCSx3A Blowing out a candle with a giant air cannon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ1SPKP3eSA This one isn't Spring of Trivia but it's similar.

Someone posted a link to Gakifiles in the PYF gif thread and I've just finished watching all the batsu games. Is there a recommended way to view the videos on Gakifiles? The batsu games were out of order but thanks to the wiki I was able to watch those in order. There is a lot of content to sift through and no telling on most of the videos what order to watch them in. Tanaka getting out by the DVDs is one of my favorite things. Also, him being scared of everything is great.

Lincoln - Black Mayonnaise Teacher was pretty good. The photos are really funny. http://crazyontv.com/lincoln-black-mayonnaise-teacher/ I recently finished all the batsu videos as well just been wandering around Gaki/Crazyontv watching random stuff. I wish there were more Oogiri Daigassen videos around as well as Kiki Mayonnaise and Yakiniku No Tare links that don't get taken down.I really don't like to complain about the sub work and stuff since it's free, but sometimes the subs are hard to read, especially when they make Matsumoto's really dark. I prefer when it's more of the neon red(?) since it's much easier to read. I thought it was a problem with my monitor since it's old, but it's not much better on my HDTV. Offending videos off the top of my head are: Absolutely Tasty Chuwanmushi (but they're all a bit hard to read in this one) Absolutely Tasty Gohan (Mixed Rice) 2 Friendly Downtown with Yoiko (love it regardless) Kiki Milk

I know it's a bit of a chore but I'd suggest downloading Aegisub and just changing the format yourself. Once you figure out the basics it's nothing to find a sub you like and simply copy the code for the colors and whatnot. I've done this to many files because while I can sit and read them find in my chair, if I lie down in bed to watch some certain things because a lot more hard to read(Endo's yellow is a primary offender or Yamasaki if he's pink and not green like they did for a lot of earlier stuff).

There was a really interesting article in Hollywood Reporter about how we might be seeing more Japanese variety shows adapted to the US. I'm not intrigued by that idea, but some of the shows that are mentioned are shows that I've never heard of. Stuck Till You're Done sounds like it could be good fun, as does Endurance. Has anyone heard of these shows? Interestingly enough, Gaki isn't mentioned at all.

Weirdly, I've found that the UK version of Wipeout (named Total Wipeout since there was a much-loved 80s game by that name in Britain) seems closer to the Japanese aesthetic than the US 'original.' At least with Sasuke and what I've seen of Takeshi's Castle, the rear end in a top hat traps are things that could be overcome with a huge amount of talent and luck, whereas Wipeout (US) is basically 'machines to make people fall down'. Though, as the US version gets done with materials and sends them down to be included on the international filming site in Argentina, the UK version is getting more 'people fall down'

The UK version was always like that too. Maybe not 'as bad' as the US one but any course that features that punch-wall and the big balls isn't meant to be completed without falling. Isn't that the reason why 'failure' is those games is just a diversion whilst it meant elimination in Sasuke.

The US version is dumb because it's all just timed. The stupid contestants will spend 2 minutes slowly going across the punch wall before getting knocked into the water, when they can just jump in and wade across in like 30 seconds anyway.
