There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace - those qualities you find always in that which the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, in the way sand trails along a ridge, in the branch clusters of the creosote bush or the pattern of its leaves. We try to copy these patterns in our lives and our society, seeking the rhythms, the dances, the forms that comfort. Yet, it is possible to see peril in the finding of ultimate perfection. It is clear that the ultimate pattern contains it own fixity. In such perfection, all things move toward/ai/ - Idle Activities.

Ran a cute.
I want to suck Mana's cock!
A not altogether unexpected conclusion to the Winter Grand Prix. Seeing the effort team do their Prikatsu was heartwarming, especially in comparison to the nonsense that was Hibiki's training regimen.Being witches was a silly idea, but I at least would have liked to see them with a proper performance. And then the Genius team was just all over the place, even with the theme of classical movies it felt like five different songs put together. It actually reminds me of Falulu stealing everyone's Making Dramas and winning everyone over in season 1. Let's see what Hibiki will do now that she's stolen the Meganiis.
Also this was just extra confirmation that Mirei was the real leader of her team and the one standing opposite Hibiki's ideals. In an attack seemingly directed against her, Pripara is now Cele[b]para, literally removing the "pri" from the world. I wouldn't be surprised if gobi were banned from Celepara from now on.

I thought Sumire was mostly around to say "Like Kiriya-senpai would say, odayaka janai!" whenever Aoi herself is not in the episode.
>>135670069
I want to defend Sumire against all these accusations, but I can't find any evidence. You could replace her with the lowest of all sidles and there would be no noticeable change in the show.

Violet is very beautiful and so is her blue senpai.
does anyone else play a game where if you figure out that it's an aikatsu thread before you finish reading the nonsense in the op you win but if you get to the spoiler you lose? seriously though why can't you autists make threads like normal people?
>>135670437
It is a mistery.

Sumire is too subtle for youI'm only partially joking. I like how even now, she very strongly keeps true to her silent but involved character. Interestingly, she's really serious about running places. Two episodes ago she sprinted to her DanDiva performance, and the preview for next episode shows her doing the same thing again. She's so passionate.
>>135671294
S1 was full of funY faces.

I really like Aoi thus far, good wits and a lovely face.
>>135671756
No arguing that
>>135671336
She could use a bit more exposure and more episodes that don't involve her being a passive player in events happening around her(I'm talking about the bullying episode).

Try not to love her too much, she tends to drive people to do wild and embarrassing things.

>>135672717
Aoi looks like she really doesn't give a shit about whatever Ichigo is doing here.
>>135673379
Aoi was kind of a dick in the earlier episodes.
Back then the show gave off this kind of vibe that she and Ichigo would become bitter rivals in the future. She seemed ready to betray her at the first opportunity.
>>135673487
>>135673487
I think you're crazy. Aoi has always been Ichigo's fan ichi-gou.
>>135673578
Man, Ran used to be so bitter. She quickly got Ichigo'd and Aoi'd fortunately.

Good one.
>>135677509
The frame width doesn't seem to affect the webm file size that much. Here's one in 720p, though the 540 one does kind of look better. That's probably because it's smaller and harder to notice the minor details.
>>135677509
Miyabi is too cute.
>>135678338
I don't see much of a point for 720p webms if they're so long that you can't give them reasonable bitrate. Giving 4.2mbps to Aikatsu CG with vp9 is not enough to make 720p look decent, so you might as well go down to 576/540p or even 480p.
>>135678611
I did the 540p and 720p both at 4200k. 540p was just slightly smaller. That being said, I don't know much about this stuff and if I'm really optimizing anything at all.
>>135678713
2-pass isn't perfect on short clips so there's going to be differences in size (if you're even using 2-pass).
If you're using ffmpeg you should always 2-pass and -deadline best and aim for either 3MiB or just set a bitrate of 8M or something high like that if it'll end up lower than 3MiB.
¡Viva la revolución!
>>135678713
I think I 2-passed this at 8M and it came out at 4.4M, so it's not very accurate, but it works fine.
Never forget Ruby car.

I will be the one who marries Aira.

They were so cute in that scene, butwhat Hibiki was trying to say something like "Even without giving our best we can surpass you when you're giving your best" and Hibiki was just giving everyone inspiration to do whatever they wanted.
>SpoilerIndeed the attack was literally aimed at Mirei, and now I can truly see that they're against each other, but I think Lala's gonna take the situation in her hands in the future because Mirei didn't have a good look in her face after being defeated.
>>135678837
Yes, I am using ffmpeg. How do I add two pass and deadline? Would you mind posting the command line you use for short clip webms?
>>135679007
>>135679087
If you're going to marry her you should be able to tell me exactly what line in the song she's singing there.
>>135679176
Please, I've never even watched PR.
I only want her for her body.
>>135679136
I guess I don't really write these down somewhere so I just wrote something from memory:
ffmpeg -i input.avs -c:v libvpx -b:v 8M -deadline best -pass 1 -y out.webm
ffmpeg -i input.avs -c:v libvpx -b:v 8M -deadline best -pass 2 -y out.webm
I do all video processing in avisynth though, so that's not really beginner stuff.
Anyway if you're already using ffmpeg you should just be able to add "-deadline best" to the command line and run the same command twice only changing "-pass 1" to "-pass 2".
>>135679450

Here's your homework for Aikatsu: Catch every time Aoi says "odayaka ja nai". She said it once in the first episode, but won't say it again until sometime between episodes 18-20. Season 1 does not have a stock translation for this, so you'll have to train your ears.

>>135689166
For the first 20 episodes she doesn't have it, and since you're all the way back there you might have this image of Aoi about her being perfect/very good at things. The characters in Aikatsu develop very quickly at the beginning, but then all of a sudden the writers wanted to give her a catchphrase and retroactively made it that.
