We have Armstrong, since it is also the only real internet company in the area what we can get since they won't let Verizon run their lines on the poles... I hate them so much.

I friend of mine posted this link and I just felt that I had to repost it because it is so easy for most people to forget that among the thousands that are dead and missing there are also a large amount of animals who have fallen victim to this disaster as well.

I am usually pretty good about staying calm when reading and watching reports about disasters like this... but that report finally made me tear up.

Swagbucks, a search engine website thing that I use, is raising money for a relief fund and I donated to that with what little I could. There is also the site Tofugu.com (whose owner wrote his own textbook for learning Japanese and posts fun videos) who has said that he will be donating 110% of all proceeds from sales on his site from now until he runs out of money to do it. Locally I have not seen much in the way of people raising money or doing much to help, but I would hope that I will see more in the days to come.

I'm donating to the Red Cross the only and right way

Yes, I am going to be shaving my head. And for every member of the SA forums who shave their heads that guy has to donate $25 extra bucks. And for the sake of me donating. I will be donating money to the Red Cross as well!

Update from the user who said he would donate $50 to every Goon who shaves his head. His name is "Baggins"

Goons have raised over $30,000 dollars! Holy cow!

Pictures and posts to come shortly!

E- Just scheduled to donate blood on Monday as well!

E2: Pictures!

Update on the Radiation Problems

Also, in case it had not been mentioned elsewhere, they bumped the quake up to a 9.0. Casualties are now estimated at 27,500 dead or missing.

Bitmap, good work.

A 7.1 hit Japan today. Tsunami warning was issued and the reactor is apparently fine.

Did Russia repeatedly curse Japan 18 years ago or something?

I heard about that, sheesh no break?... hopefully people were more prepared for this one or it didn't hit a bad area or something?

It is a possibility. Maybe China and Korea joined in to make some kind of coven?

yeah this caused the Magical Puella Magi Madoka to be cancelled until further notice. What it looks like due to the earthquake... Something about one of the scenes having a huge flood hitting the Tokyo area so they cancelled it. From what it looks like that's the only anime I have scene canceled due to the quake.


It was a bit sad to see the comments on all of the people encoding the subbing to some of the fansubs out there. I will give you an example but please understand they didn't know that the earthquake was as bad as they thought it was.


koda was le tired and wanted to sleep. Fortunately there weren’t any signs to speak of and I’m not hungover.
Also, this episode. THIS FUCKING EPISODE.

Edit from koda:
This episode was broadcasted with a green earthquake tracker framing the episode. It panned/zoomed and we cropped it out. Apparently TheFluff didn’t think about letting people know this in the release post.

Edit from Fluff: full explanation:

The original broadcast had a huge annoying earthquake warning/news ticker thing that framed the entire image. It looked like this. Naturally, I cropped that shit away, but when the lazy studio engineer fuckers added it they screwed up the telecining for the underlying anime, so there’s unfixable (or, well, at least unfixable in a reasonable timeframe) chroma bleeding/general interlacing artifacts all over the goddamned place.

The funny zooms near the commercial breaks have the same cause; instead of just removing the overlay for commercials, they slid it out of the way and let the anime zoom back to its original size, which results in the funky effect since the crop window is fixed. I could have made an animated crop window that followed the zoom, but that’s a lot of effort, and previous experience with similar overlays indicate that that just leads to a very wobbly image, which is arguably worse.


guys guys guys.... More tact please.

I believe so. But they have been carrying on with their karaoke parties when they finished the series anyway.

Well, they do highlight the differences, but it still does not look good. I do hope that they are upgrading the other nuclear plants to better withstand that powerful of a quake now. Honestly, I would plan for higher... 10.0+
