I was watching a certain magical index 5 minutes in I thought the show was absolutely bad donkey. It continued until what I think was episode 6. After that I kept watching and it just got worse :<

Episode 6 would have been a good place to end it.
^
I somewhat had a similar opinion too. Though I saw through to the end. Second season seems pretty good so far.
I might download OZC's release of Code Geass.  Seems they have 720p + dual audio + commentary track.


Updated MAL since it means I can procrastinate more.
Happy now Assinator?

I just happen to have the first episodes of each at home.  Only 1st episode though.  720 seems to be encoded by a different guy, and is crf22.

God damn, why is it either crf 22 (which is fine normally, but this is a BDrip, so people naturally expect higher quality) or overkill crf 14 shit (hi Coalgirls) which is just waste.  Why can't they do something between these 2 bumbers, lets say crf 18?



If you want info...

Spoiler for 720p:

22 is fine for me!

What are you going to do about it?

Maybe I should do that too when I can remember my password.
Well I added all the anime I can briefly remember recently watching and added some I watched long ago which I didn't add the first time.

Nothing.

If you're a tsundere, eventually you'll get over the tsun and become completely deredere.
I'm sure you'll be long dead before that ever happens XD
Maybe to procrastinate further. I should put a(n approximate) date I watched and finished and add a rating to all to anime on my list then I can work with the mangas.
I don't remember the dates.
I'd rather play DOOM To be honest.
