Thursday they managed to boost that up to thirteen gig.
Friday they raised it to thirty.

Good thing I have unlimited downloads. Good thing too that these DVD-Rs are so cheap...

Update: And pfft! Just like that, they were gone. I wonder if AnimeSuki got bit by an April Fools prank?

I should probably have time to actually watch these shows some time in May.

May 2006.

Free widescreen high definition anime!

The show is Misaki Chronicle - Divergence Eve, which I've never heard of before, but what's important is that it's at 1024x576.

(Which doesn't correspond to any known HDTV standard, but at least has the right aspect ratio, 16:9.)

If you haven't watched any anime since Astro Boy or perhaps Speed Racer, keep an eye out for Azumanga Daioh, which should be hitting the stores soon. You won't regret it.

In episode 6, we are taught how to deal with being swallowed by a 7-metre python.

In episode 7, we find out how to make a sturdy rope out of toilet paper. Also, that seasons are reversed in the Southern Hemisphere.

In episode 8, we learn how to use a steam cannon to escape from a raging bushfire.

This is one of the most educational shows I've ever seen!

Our heroine, Kunyan, must escape from a sauna after dislocating both shoulders and both hips. She only has a limited amount of time to do so before she loses consciousness due to dehydration.

Oh, and in escaping she also manages to dislocate her jaw.

This is accompanied by medical information on joints and dislocation and diagrams showing the distance from the seat to the door of the sauna measured in Kunyan-lengths.

Episode two:

Kunyan and her flatmate have purchased a live King Crab for dinner. Unfortunately, it has escaped and is now firmly attached to Kunyan's face. They try to remove the crab using centrifugal force:

F (centrifugal force) = mv² / r
(m = Kunyan + crab, r = radius, v = velocity)

That's direct from the video, by the way. Success!

One more:

Trapped in an awkward Yoga position, Kunyan accidentally spills a bottle of liquor and it catches fire from a lit cigarette. Given that Kunyan is unable to stand up, how can she put out the flames?

Solution: Taking her flatmate's box of Valentine's Day condoms, Kunyan walks on her hands into the kitchen, climbs into the sink, and makes an arsenal of water balloons. (The video shows the recommended method for this.) The fire is put out, the apartment is saved!

* After BitTorrent stopped playing sillybuggers and I was able to download the files.

If I try to open the directory, Windows Explorer crashes.

If I persevere and try to view the video, Winamp crashes.

Ahh. Things are back to normal, it would seem.

This train is travelling westward toward the planet Destiny.

We will be making a transfer at the Hope & Despair station.

We'll be making use of a timeknot.

Due to this circumstance, please do not open your windows.

Please don't use the the toilet while the train is standing at the station either.

Update: Well, that's nice. They kill half the family in the first episode, and then in the second episode they go back in time and kill them again.

Given that AnimeNfo says that this is a 24-part series, I see a little problem looming for our hero...

Update: Episode 12, and he just turned into dust and blew away. Well, I wasn't wrong.
