how do you watch anime /bant/
my personal preference is:

1. download a hardsubbed xvid re-encode of the show you want. Make sure it's a horriblesubs rip
2. Encode it as 1920x1080 x264, open in aegisub and add in some fabulous karaoke for all the insert songs
3. Encode it back to a 704x480 xvid
4. Encode to 1280x720 rmvb
5. Encode back to 704x480 xvid. Following this stage, you can now decode it with 3 different codecs for THREE TIMES the playback power!
6. Open in VLC
7. Take screenshots of each individual frame
8. Record the audio with your phone
9. Encode the audio from the phone to 7.1 flac to reduce the rotational velocidensity
10. Encode it again to q-1.0 vorbis
11. Encode it again to 192kbps aac
12. Make a slideshow of the screenshots with Windows Movie Maker
13. Add in your audio
14. Add in some linkin park to play alongside the audio, it's like you're watching an amv!
15. Use Windows Movie Makers built in encoder to encode it to youtube size
16. Upload to youtube, add in loads of annotations and emotions
17. Download the .flv from youtube
18. Open in VLC
