Dear /c/, I come bearing gifts and a question.

Pani Poni Dash has become one of my favorite series but episode 24 in particular was awesome. A completely unrelated edo-period drama to take down the evil, child genius finance minister (a.k.a. Becky) A lot of the character and costume designs of the episode would make excellent wallpapers, especially Miyako. Is there a program or way to take higher quality screenshots or something? I have some screens I took with just my VLC player, but they're not large enough.

Also, uh, Pani Poni thread in general.

Maybe it's the pipe + glasses + angry stare combo, but Miyako was frickin' awesome.

Not really /c/ related, but anybody here read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Take a look at the chalkboard... Man, this show makes references that are even obscure in the west.

'cept that may or may not actually be a reference to the meaning of life

Becky does the "evil Japanese politician" role really well.

Well, the ADV video notes put it as "The ultimate Question and Answer to Life the Universe and Everything respectively, at least in the Douglas Adams Universe." And yes, The "WHAT IS SIX TIMES NINE" part wasn't revealed until the third book (Life the Universe and Everything), but I think it's pretty obvious.

Episode 24 kind of killed the series for me. I think I was just fatigued on PPD, and then I watched that and fully lost interest. To date I never watched 25 or 26.

Well, I just have to disagree. I really like the show more and more, at least in a "turn your brain off and just laugh" kind of way. And the animation is anything BUT lazy. It does get kind of old to see ways animators get around having to do complex or repeated animations, but there's always something going on in the background, and the smoothness of the attacks the girls use just floors me sometimes.

tl;dr version: I like it. It's pretty and shiny.

A typical NTSC DVD has 720x480 pixels of resolution, which is then scaled to make the pixels square on your display.

Making a huge "vectored" picture of a small screenshot requires manual labor in a graphics manipulation program.

I'm not too well versed in the ways of video technology, but I figured something like that was the case. Oh well.

At least we still have Maho.

question: did you try converting them into GIFs, or another vector based format?

Wouldn't mind a nicer scan of this.

GIF isn't so very vector based though. It is pixel based with a simple form of compression.

No, it will not save you manual labor either.
