Animedragon

The original Cardcaptor Sakura DVD release was 4 episodes per disk, that's 18 disks!! The re-mastered Blu-ray edition comes in two box sets each with 5 disks, together they cost about £80, but thats a HUGE amount less than my original DVDs. All bought mail order of course, the Blu-rays because there's no video shops left where I live, the CCS DVDs had to be bought mail order because Region 1 DVDs can't be sold over the counter in the UK. Since subscribing to Crunchyroll I think I've only bought a couple of Anime disks, and currently the only one I have on my 'to buy' list is Suzume, but it's not out yet.

Yes, I found it on YouTube.

We had that happen a couple of times at work. We charged them for the job plus the all the extra time we spent on it.

Yes, that's why there's only 5 episodes on disks. As a 26 episode series it would have most likely been released on 6 disks with the disks having between 5 and 3 episodes on them.

I tend to prefer box sets mainly because back in the 2000s series were released one disk every 4 or 5 weeks and with only 4 episodes on it so it took a long time to get a complete series so even a short 12 episode series took 3 months to collect and for longer series there was always the risk that you'd get halfway through and the distributor would decide that the series wasn't selling as well as they hoped and stop it. But yes, buying the whole series in one box set could, and did, work out expensive!! The prices for older series is a bit weird, some series still go for a high price and episodes 1-6 and 7-12 are sold as separate releases at £30 each while with others you get all 24 episodes for £25.

People just don't understand how long it takes to make even small changes and quite often a change affects another part of the work which then needs amendment.

What does it mean when all the socks in your laundry match, with none left over? It means you’re now losing them in pairs!

It's bright, sunny, not too cold and dry but rain is forecast for later on today.

Secret Code

This whole dolphin/porpoise thing got me curious about the differenced, so I did a bit of searching and found this little YouTube video.

I no longer offer my, limited, DTP skills I wait to be asked and then decide if I'll accept the job. I'm retired so I do it as a sort of hobby and it's something I enjoy doing, but the seemingly endless changes some people were making was driving me crazy, especially when there was a fixed date for when the job had to be sent to the printers.

Porpoises are definitely mysterious.

We didn't have stuff like yoga when I was at school. Once a week we did spend half an hour in the gym doing all sorts of dangerous things that today would be banned for health and safety reasons.

Once I get the text and pictures I should be OK, the real problem with such projects is how many changes and edits the organiser wants after I've sent them the first draft. It's changes and edits that take the time because they can mess up the layout.

I've just rewatched BanG! Dream: It's My Go!!!!! I enjoyed the series more second time round. I think this was because It's My Go is more of a drama story than a band story and as such it revolves more around the interactions between the various characters and watching it a second time I better understood the motivations, manipulations, lies and deceits practised by the various characters in their attempts to get things to go their way. I still think that having Ave Musica take up the second half of episode 13 didn't really fit in and the band was way too pretentious.

I don't get along with mornings too well either. I can get up at 6am and appear perfectly normal, but I'm not I'm on autopilot and if anything happens that I wasn't expecting I'm totally confused. Once I've had my breakfast and a cup of tea my systems reboot and my brain starts coming back on-line.
