| To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 21 | Those are bigass fireworks. How do I know? Glad you asked.
Assuming the constellation on the right side is a badly drawn Ursa Major, we can figure out the radial size of the firework by using the radial distance between Merak and Dubhe, which is generally accepted to be 5°.
Using the blue firework at the top as reference, we can see it is approximately 3x the radial distance = 15° in radius.
It appears at 00:12.763, and the sound is heard at 00:14.515, giving us a 1.752 second interval between explosion and when it reaches our ears. (Speed of light is negligible in this case.)
The speed of sound in 25°C summer air at 80% humidity is 347.65m/s, giving us ~609m distance to the firework's center.
Simple trigonometry tells us that its radius is then tan(15°)*609m = ~163m
This means the firework is about 1070 feet wide, or 3 times the length of a football field.
Addendum courtesy of Bored: At 50 feet per shell inch, this means that this firework had a 21.4" shell. By comparison, the largest naval guns ever mounted were the 18" guns used on Yamato class battleships.
Here, verify it yourself. And it's a bit harder but you can still see the stars in the XviD too.
Oh, and the timer position has been filled. Thanks to all that inquired about it.
On a different note, did you know?

http://relweb.clearfrost.net/torrents/%5BMazui%5D_To_Aru_Kagaku_no_Railgun_-_22_%5BXviD%5D%5BE64B8631%5D.avi.torrent | | Watcher | Oops! The mkv link is broken. | | Seraph | British BL 18 Inch Mk1 guns were heavier [151 tons to 147 tons] and fired a heaver shell [1.51 tons vs 1.46 tons] than the Yamato's 46cm Type 94's.
They were deployed on the General Wolfe and Lord Clive towards the end of WW1. 85 rounds were fired in anger. | |

| To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 20 | Busy day for the team... due to time zone issues, we're releasing with the share raw instead of our own for now. The v2 with our raw will come tomorrow.
On a totally different note, we're looking for a timer to help out next season on (probably) 2 series. The basic expectation is to have the episode timed within a couple hours after the TL is handed to them, which is usually a couple hours after the episode airs. A qualified timer knows about lead-in, lead-out, and how timing relates to basic encoding concepts like keyframes and scene changes. TS skills are a plus. If you're interested and think you're ready for the unpaid but rewarding pressure of working in a speedsubbing group, contact any of the ops in our irc channel. Yes, if you don't know how to use irc, you're not qualified.
Update: Here's the much delayed v2. Note that you really only need this if your computer can't handle the VFR in the v1, as there are zero script changes. And here's the XviD.
Oh, and keep the anime/cartoon discussion to the other thread please. I've moved relevant posts there.

speaking of Mass Effect, ive been playing the sequel alot. ME2 is a really nice looking game and alot of fun. as a guy who normally stays away from virtual rpg games and plays alot of FPS's, i find myself at a balance of both worlds with this game.
the controls for the PC port is a little different frrom most, but manageable.
enough of these silly shenanigans, im ready for the next installment in the railgun chronicles of the railgun girl in railgun city! | | Angelus | Thanks Reizo and Azzy I will give coreAVC a try. | | MrTRanCeEviL | Special Thank for people bring this idea...
CCCP + CoreAVC = ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Now my PC can run 1080p without any problem...
Thank again~

| To Aru Kagaku no Railgun 19 | In a strange turn of events, the ts is missing the last 5 minutes of the ep o_O
As such, there is no 720 raw and we'll be releasing using a 576 high raw first, followed by our usual release tomorrow when MBS airs. The smart people will know why this makes no difference anyway.
UPDATE: HD version out!
Sorry it's a bit late. Here's some 720p goodness. And here's the XviD
Behold, how not to hold your violin:

He has a point Dauntee, then again, his grammar is kind of skewered so...
