Kino's Travels, One Piece, Catlove Server

[thistlechaser]

Or in other words: anime, anime, non-anime. :)

Has anyone seen Kino's Travels? I've only seen one screen shot of it, but it has me drooling. Looks just like Someday's Dreamers' art style! *drool*drool* Alas, the series is licensed, so I can't find it to BT from anywhere. *grump* I might have to hit up a couple private groups and see if I can get a copy that way. I wonder how many eps are in the series? If it's ongoing or not? I can't find any info on it at all...

I said I was going to try to watch 15-20 One Piece eps before deciding on it, but upon watching #6 tonight, I couldn't go on. It's a bad sign for a series if every time you see the main character's grin you want to shoot him in the face. It's funny, when thinking about the series I said to myself "You know, I could almost like this if not for the art style... and the character design... and the characters themselves... but the story is okay except the whole thing about the devil fruit effects..." Which leaves, what, that it's about pirates? Hee. So yeah, One Piece is being deleted. Woo!

If anyone checks screenshots on their LJ and instead sees a "bandwidth thief!" thing instead, please leave a comment. All of LJ should be able to hotlink to images on Catlove.

Since I'm nearing the end of the month's bandwidth, I did some closer looking at my stats. Darned frigging message boards linking to my screenshots took up so much bandwidth! The top most moved files ever in Catlove's history:

1-4) The four Whistle BTs.
5) The Naruto game BT
6-10) Message board people! Grr!

I wanted to use my really nasty blood/scat/death image in place of the plain "bandwidth thief!" text one, but I'm resisting.

Kino's Travels is good, it's about a girl who drives around on her talking moped (or whatever) and finds out about humanity etc...

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

It sounds like it! I'm still hunting for it with no luck...

[yachinami.livejournal.com]

Kino no Tabi/Kino's Journey/Kino's Travels whatever is like blessed_fire said, really good, although it's also really, REALLY dark. And yeah, you likely won't find it online, because it doesn't seem like anyone's been able to. I uh, have a...bootleg copy.

I babble on just a tiny bit more here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/raikochan/218011.html), although I've since taken down my screenshots. I can take more if you like?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link! And I'd love to see screenshots, but only if you have time to make them.

I finally found a copy online last night... but with Spanish subtitles! Arg! I passed it up, but since I haven't been able to find a better copy anywhere else, I might backtrack and try to find that version again...

hope this helps a bit

http://torrent.thegreatbeyond.net/ has BT for Kino no Tabi episodes in English, but this group is super slow...

Oh, thanks! It helps a lot. :) I can't wait to get home from work so I can use it!

Thanks!

I havn't heard of it, but you got me curious. *looks around* I actually found 4 files for it on WinMX, 00 (which I assume is either a commercial or promotional material), and ep 1-3. I got them queued but don't know if I'll be able to download them all the way. I guess if I can't I'll at least rent it when it comes out to see how it is, I find a lot of stuff I'm content to only watch once so I don't buy a whole lot of anime. But weird and dark is good ^_^.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

What's WinMX? And only 00-03 were subbed, yeah. I'm told there are 13 eps total though.

Yet another in a long line of file-sharing programs, like Kazaa etc. but smaller and simpler, without the advertising crap. You can find some obscure stuff on there sometimes, though it can also sometimes be hard to find people to download from (I don't think its had a new version in a while, so I don't know how many people still regularly use it.) I think its the most basic program you can use before you switch over to the stuff you actually have to know a lot to be able to use. You don't have to share stuff to download from others.
You can download it from here, or if those don't work, just do a google search for sites.

Bit about it from a site:
WinMX is a FREE file-sharing program like no other.

It allows you to simultaneously connect to many established networks based on the "Napster" protocol.

This means MORE USERS and MORE SEARCH RESULTS than other sharing programs.

WinMX also supports ANY FILE TYPE, allowing you access to a diverse assortment of shared VIDEO files as well as the usual MP3 files.


Features:
Share and DOWNLOAD ANY FILE TYPE
Full chat capabilities
Connect to multiple networks simultaneously
Multi-windowed interface perfect for high-resolution / multi-monitor systems
Tracks and resumes broken transfers
Intelligent queuing options
Works behind SOCKS4/5 and ICS based networks

Hmmm, interesting. Thanks for the info!

hahahaha XD I know what you mean...the animation is the most ugly animation and drawing I've ever seen. It's weird because I look at Luffy and am like "omg I dont need to see your gums..but you're SO COOL" and ussop like "omg your nose is the most annoying thing ever..but your character RULES XD" By all means, one has better things to do with their time than forcing themselves to watch an anime they don't like :) but Im making one piece icons so sorry XD mwahaha

*laughs* You don't have to be sorry about the upcoming icons! Everyone should have icons that make them happy. :)

And agreed on the gums thing!
