Japanese TV online (4)

1 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-01-06 19:49 ID:Heaven

KeyHoleTV is very stable and have most of the major channels, but the quality isn't optimal.

I was wondering if any of you know of any paid services that offer higher bit-rate streams?

2 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-01-06 20:08 ID:I4SbjYDe

what for

3 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-01-06 20:56 ID:Heaven

Not any specific show, I just enjoy watching Japanese TV (yeah it’s 99% shit I know, but that’s what’s fun about it right?) And I wouldn’t mind paying for it, if I can get better service.

4 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-03-16 17:18 ID:Bu6MEUO/

The Japanese Culture & Eontertainment board on the d-addicts.com forum has a few threads with information about both free and pay services, but I'll give you the highlights of the free ones:

freshverse.com

Used to have a high-quality Flash stream and require an invitation; as of right now, registration is open and all of the available streams require Microsoft Silverlight. The channels available are NHK G, NHK E, Nippon TV, TBS, and Fuji TV. Quality is not good, but it is better than KeyHoleTV.

tvants.com

Requires download of a Windows p2p application, but it also works in wine. The channels are usually misnamed: the one labeled TV Asahi right now is actually TV Tokyo, the one labeled TV Tokyo is actually Nippon TV, and the one labeled NTV is actually Fuji TV. Those are the only ones available right now, although there have been others in the past. The quality for Nippon TV and Fuji TV is slightly below that of freshverse.

INSTANT REVIEW MOVIE THREAD (330)

1 Name: Couch Potato 05/01/29(Sat)10:54 ID:Heaven

INSTANT REVIEW : Closer

A movie about 4 people who know how to cheat on each other.

Natalie Portman still sucks at acting.

INSTANT REVIEW: Star Trek

Somehow this didn't trip my nerd rage-o-meter. It may be watered down, but it's not a bad movie.

INSTANT REVIEW: Funny People

One of Adam Sandler's better movies. But not as funny as the name implies.

INSTANT REVIEW: Once Upon a Time in the West

I hate westerns, actually I never watched one, find them too boring. But this movie is amazing, completely changes my opinion of westerns.

327 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-02-08 02:20 ID:HbLjoETB

INSTANT REVIEW: Coraline

Gorgeous visuals, cute characters, but the plot feels like a tech demo, or a video game really. If you liked Avatar you may like this. Main character is quite fappable.

Densha Otoko ( 2channel real story ) (607)

1 Name: 返信 2005-05-28 01:27 ID:HoZnHXLW

The movie "Densha Otoko" (Train Man) is to be shown in several countries in East Asia, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, following sales efforts at the recent Cannes Film Festival. The movie is based on a supposedly true story that played out on the Channel 2 web site, Japan's most popular BBS. It tells of an "otaku" (nerd), played by Yamada Takayuki (21), who comes to the rescue of a woman (Nakatani Miki, 29) being groped on a train. Not knowing how to pursue his newly found love, he turns to the Web for help and advice. The love story was turned into a best-selling book and has the subject of a lot of publicity over the last year, and has publishers scouring the Web looking for the next big hit. The biggest question that remains is whether it's really a true story of innocent love triumphing or just a clever marketing ploy. The movie opens on June 4.

Couch Potato is Anonymous for this subforum. Almost every subforum has a specific default name, to better fit the mood. It's like Anonymous, only flavored. I don't see what's wrong with that.

599 Name: J : 2009-12-01 19:28 ID:E/tp/2rP

Look. If it was a work of fiction, the Japanese users of 2-ch would respond to the publishing of the novel. Since they did not, i'd assume it to be true. You think too much, thread starter.

Anyhoo, i'm still going to watch the movie.

Scrubs vs. House vs. ER vs. Grey's Anatomy (105)

1 Name: Couch Potato : 2007-05-22 16:56 ID:/E6m+NGn

WHO WINS?

96 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-04-23 11:38 ID:0XBtCmRp

>>95
Then again, Scrubs only has a few episodes left, if you consider the "activeness" of a show a decisive factor.

97 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-05-11 01:24 ID:a87AFR0L

SCRUBS!!!!

98 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-05-21 20:50 ID:fAJKtsc8

House > Scrubs > ER > Gray's

99 Name: Otakun : 2009-05-22 07:27 ID:M6RwjWTU

Now that Scrubs is dead too theres only ER and House.
I'd just say House because he kinda reminds me of Dr. Cox from Scrubs, I still won't watch it though

100 Name: rICK : 2009-08-18 19:44 ID:BQAfnEHA

How the hell do you compare two very sirous shows trying they're best to depict real doctors to a comedy. Dont get me wrong I love scrubs but really compare House to E.R. or Grey's Anatomy or something.

101 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-08-30 05:13 ID:Heaven

>>100
Nothing wrong against comparing medical shows. You know, shows that revolve around hospitals. Also grammar hurr durr.

102 Name: LynaL : 2009-10-16 17:19 ID:5bzBeEFS

"House" - the best medial show so far. It is comparable to "Boston Legal" of courthouse, legal setting. Yeah, I related Dr House to Dr Cox as well, but Scrubs is always something I want to go back. ER or GA never made good entertainment for me. Oh, Nurse Jackie is worth watching too, but she is so tough that she seems bi- to me.

103 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-10-28 16:56 ID:0XBtCmRp

>>102
I always say Boston Legal doesn't receive the love it deserves, so I'm glad you mention it. It's too bad that show was canceled, it was really good. The last season was hilarious with subtle jabs at their status and against their owner.

104 Name: Couch Potato : 2010-01-14 20:15 ID:J3nS+MwA

I like this show called "Generall scrub's hospital house"

105 Name: person : 2010-02-22 19:16 ID:/8FnBg8H

in my opinion scrubs is the best cuz its got comedy with the occasional good drama to let you know its not just random comedy thrown at you. greys anatomy is just a rip off of scrubs. house seems pretty cool, never seen ER, but i just like scrubs cuz i've seen it. so i'd say Scrubs, then House, then ER, then far far behind would be grey's

Really any of Akira Kurosawa.

Yojimbo and Sanjuro are good, although they're almost the same movie.

Rashomon is one of his most famous ones, especially from a film studies pov.

Ikiru gets away from samurai, and is good, but is also like 40 minutes longer than it should be.

Yo doggs, did you hear that Rian Johnson (director of the excellent movies Brick and The Brothers Bloom) is making a new movie called Looper? I wonder when it's going to come out. IMDB won't tell me. :-(

I worked in an adult video store for a year. it was the best time. Free porn and extra cash.

During your campaign, how many public masturbators did you catch and how many unclean tapes were anonymously returned.

Rule One: All screen the original movie in the store on the day that the remake is released, you'd be amazed what this will do for your social life.

Does people still go to video stores, when there's netflix and well... torrents ?

10 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-06-04 13:56 ID:W2ZUR21o

>>9

Obviously. It's ignorant to think that everyone is as computer-literate as you are. Ask the average person on the street if they've downloaded any good torrents lately, and they'll likely just stare at you quizzically. Netflix has shipping time, and not everyone rents movies often enough to justify paying that much per month.

So yes, lots of people still go to video stores. They aren't doing quite as well as they were 10 years ago, but they're not going anywhere anytime soon.

11 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-11-17 02:07 ID:bAR82plp

>>10
Yup.

12 Name: Couch Potato : 2009-11-17 09:48 ID:0iQvtaLc

I still work at a video store. Going on 3 years now.

I guess sometimes it can be cool.

But it's nothing like what people think. I don't sit around all day talking about film and watching films. Yeah, maybe if I worked in a small suburban video store. But we get too many customers and returns to be standing around doing nothing.

And most of my co-workers are dumb teenagers who think Twilight and Transformers are good films. I have nothing to discuss with them.

My manager used to be a cool guy who was really into old horror films. We used to talk all the time and there weren't many customers back then (probably cause he wasn't a good manager). But since he left and business picked up, it's just been an endless nightmare of complaining customers and piles of returns.

Oh, man. Hey guys. This thread reminded me about what I now consider to be the best rental store humor I've ever seen.

Check out the "Acts of Gord". Googling Gord will take you straight to it.

It's this guy who runs this video game shop (not exactly movies, but the crowd is similar) and well, awesome ensues. From what I gather it's more or less a compilation of real events and people.

Anyway, I like it a bunch. I'm probably going to read it again now.

Does anybody know where I can find footage of the Densha Otoko TV trailer, note I asked for the TV trailer not the movie one (which is flying all over YouTube) might I add.

I read Densha Otoko as as I was getting into 4ch. I can't recall which came first, or if it was causal. I guess I'll watch the movie sometime soon.
