Well with Sympatico encryprtion does nothing. It seems like I get a max of 30kb/sec between like Noon and Midnight. With full speed coming between Midnight and Noon.
Even plenty of seeders and peers makes no difference. Around Noon, even with thousands of seeders downloading at about 300kB/sec, just drops to 30kB/sec.
My knee-jerk reaction to this was utter disgust. How dare they take my favourite anime and make it to a crappy big budget live action movie. But I thought about it more, and now I don't mind as much.
This can sorta be a good thing. People not into anime could watch the movie, be amazed and want to see where it all started. So they get the anime. Find they like the anime. Watch different anime shows. Become anime fans. More anime fans means cheaper anime...right? Right?!?!!
Can the 26 episode series be condensed into a movie? Probabaly. Cut out all the fluff episodes near the begining(the octahedron angel, the dance episode, The Day Tokyo 3 Stood Still) and it could fit. As long as it's at least 2 hours, then a good portion of the story could fit, probably missing a few key important scenes. It should be better than Death.
I am really curious as to how this will turn out. Maybe they can get Anno to help work on the script. Maybe it will suck. Maybe it will be alright. I'll go see just to see how it turns out.
But please dear god don't change the names!! I couldn't stand that in The Ring. Samara?!?! It's Sadako!!
