[Discussion] akihabara@DEEP

I couldn't find a topic started yet on akihabara@DEEP, I've just watched the third episode and I must say that the series improves with each episode. I know it will be compared to Densha Otoko because both deal with otoko but aside from the subject the shows are totally different. Densha a love story and @DEEP a comedy action/adventure story so far.

The show has many anime, manga and TV/movie references, I've been exchanging emails with a Friend about the series and we both are wondering if there is an anime or manga that Taiko the character who freezes references. I thought it might be a reference to the Robbie the Robot in the old Lost in Space TV show, anyone know?

Also might anyone know how many episodes are planned for this series.

i love that even thought, they all fall under the name "OTAKU" each of them is different....
i dunno the answers to any of the questions you asked, but i hope that it keeps making me laugh!

I'm really glad you guys like the series ^^ and thanks for your comments, bodhi! I saw you signed up at LS just to say hi!! We really appreciate the kind words and encouragement. This series does indeed just get better with each episode! I'm not sure if Taiko is modelled after an anime character but he looks so crazy when he freezes! cracks me up pinch

@DEEP has 11 episodes plus a SP episode.

Hey Koneko thanks for all the hard work and also for replying to my questions.

TV-Nihon has done an amazing job, even though they just started releasing episodes of Akihabara@DEEP in the past few weeks they have already caught up to Love Song and with this episode passed them.

But this speed has costs. The video quality of Episode 7 is just OK and the way it is encoded refused to play in one of my DVD players. It plays fine on the computer so if that’s how you watch dramas it won’t be an issue for you. But to play in a stand alone player it may or may not work. Love Song releases have always played fine in my DVD player. While the large file size of Love Song releases don’t have the HQ look of similar file size releases it is much better then the TV-Nihon release. The lack of picture quality from both groups may be due more to the quality of the raws that both groups have available to them.

Love Song gets the advantage for video quality they also took the time to translate the credits on the computer board at the start of the show. This and other little things like it along with a better picture will have me downloading the Love Song releases no matter when they are released.

I love this show and always want to see the next episode as soon as I can so I’ll download whichever group releases first. But the Love Song releases are the ones that I plan on keeping and burning to DVD so I can watch them again.
Thanks to both groups for subbing this series it is one of my favorities. TV-Nihon please keep up the fast pace so I can get my next Akira fix. Love Song please continue with the high quality releases

I'm sticking with the Love Song release. I think they have done a great job so far. The only thing that I think could be better is the font size of the subs could be larger. I often watch stuff on a small personal video player and they are a bit difficult to read on a small screen. Otherwise, thumright

Keep up the good work!

I like this drama far more than Densha Otoko (although that drama also had its charm). It reminds me of IWGP, but not that violent.

Anybody that knows the ratings for this drama?

I like the fast pace, and all the characters are somehow weirdos but you'll come to like each of them as the drama goes on. I think my favourite is Page-kun. He's so adorable when he tries hard speaking. Mr. Green

Almost all actors/actresses are new faces to me, that is kind of refreshing. =)

Thanks for your hard work, Love Song fansubbing team. I think your subs are great! =)

Doesn't the Densha SP feel like a merge of A@D and Densha?

Hey you guys!! ^^ Thanks for keeping this thread alive. People watch @DEEP but most don't have much to say about this series. I think that most people, after watching the 1st episode, either loves it or can't bare to watch anymore ^^;;;

btw just a reminder to all @DEEP downloaders for the Love Song version, Love Song always puts up finished episodes on Clubbox before D-Addicts so if you guys can't wait for @DEEP 8, it's already on the JEkizuna Clubbox. I plan to release the 8th ep. here on the 29th.

Thanks Koneko, I can't wait for the release really looking forward to it. I don't have a clue how to read Korean so I'll wait patiently here I guess!

Densha Deluxe kind of disappointed me... Densha hasn't improved a bit... @.@
Anyway, wrong thread for that. ^^;
