>OP/ED are cut out of the episodes and are in the folder as a separate file

Use a non-shit player

>>280880553 (OP)
you understand the reason they do that, right?

>>280880636
They're soulless Daiz tryhards

>>280880636
i've always assumed it was to either save space and/or because you can somehow have it cut into to those files when playing the episode
but I dont understand why in this day and age either of those things would be necessary

>>280881985
This, I have a collective ~100TB of storage in my room and downloading anime gets to 90MB/s, it has become easy and cheap as fuck to download and store anime without having to cut it to pieces.
Hell, add the separate OP/ED as a bonus, but just keep it within the file itself.

>>280880636
I don’t
it sounds really retarded and unnecessary

>>280880553 (OP)
Fixed it for you :3

>>280880553 (OP)
The image already portrays the reaction "Why would you do that", you don't need to add the text on it as well, it's redundant.

>>280880553 (OP)
mpv plays ordered chapters just fine. stop downloading trash releases

>>280880636
the amount of space you save from cutting OPs and EDs is so insignificant that it doesn't matter. there's a reason why none of the encoders groups do that anymore

>>280882759
That picture was made in the 2000s when everyone was making image macros like that, see the lolcat meme.

>>280880636
it was a meaningless fansub flex

It makes more sense with 50+ episode series. Over 50 episodes, the 3 minutes for the OP and ED is like 2.5 hours of video (more than 5 episodes worth) that you can cut down to 3 minutes. You could argue that space is cheap (it would save 5-6 GB, though that will keep piling up if you consider more series) but saving space would allow you to download something different. It doesn't make as much sense with 12 episode series though.

>>280886065
Especially EDs have episode-specific credits though.

>>280880553 (OP)
what about the episodes where the ED songs starts before credits roll, do they cut them too

>>280880553 (OP)
Fuck you sub group who skipped the opening in darker then black season 1. Fuck you!

>>280886065
Long shows usually change the OP/ED a few times though, to be fair.

The OP/ED also tend to be more animation-heavy, so you can give them good bitrate one time in their own files.

>>280889080
Depends. It wasn't uncommon for older series to have one opening for their entire runtime. Some might change up the visuals once or twice while keeping the same song, which would require a separate file too though.

>>280886320
They mute the entire scene.

>>280880593
every player is shit

Not worse than when I downloaded Pani Pani Dash back in the late '00s and the combination adapter for the screen and audio was locked behind a password that you had to solve Japanese riddles to get. I think they only did that to keep non-weebs out the community, which is understandable. I had to download another torrent because English is like my third language and I was never well-informed when it came to Japan outside of anime and video games.

sucks to be an ignorant luddite i guess

>>280891369
jesus that is some YHBT level shit. Share the magnet if you still have it

>>280886065
>doesn't make much sense with 12 episode series
Well when you have 200 series on your HD it adds up.
I don't actually like when they do this, but your argument isn't actually a rebuttal.
