By then, Shoya has stopped ignoring the people around him and now has a lot of friends. Once he recovers, Shoya reconciles with his film crew and finally completes the film, which, while a failure, has greatly helped him and his friends.Ī year after their high school graduation and their subsequent parting ways, the seven reunite for the Coming of Age Day. This impacts the other six of the group as they start to resolve their problems while suspending the project until Shoya awakens. As she believes she is the sole reason for the parting of the group, Shoko attempts to kill herself and is rescued by Shoya, who gets badly hurt in the process, falling into a coma. The group also has a falling out when Shoya tries to isolate himself again by insulting the crew, leading to Shoko feeling sorry for him. Shoko eventually tries to confess her love to Shoya, but it does not get through to him and ends up in a misunderstanding. While filming, the seven face their personal challenges and conflicts. The seven begin to work together when Tomohiro's plan to create a film for a competition, which he plans to only include Shoya and himself, attracts the attention of Naoka, Miki, Tomohiro and Satoshi, with Shoya additionally inviting Shoko to join the project. They also make new friends in Tomohiro Nagatsuka, a similarly friendless fat boy who owes Shoya and Satoshi Mashiba, Miki's crush. Realizing that both are suffering due to his past sins, Shoya sets out on a path of redemption by trying to reconnect Shoko with their old classmates that Shoko never had the chance to befriend back then, including Shoya's former comrade, Naoka Ueno, who holds a grudge against Shoko for "causing" Shoya's isolation Miki Kawai, their narcissistic former class president and Miyoko Sahara, a kind girl who was the only one attempting to befriend Shoko years before. To make amends, he reunites with Shoko, who is still lonely due to her shyness. When Shoya's actions are finally condemned by the principal, all of his friends and teachers turn against him, socially isolating him well into high school to the point that he eventually considers suicide, which he believes would absolve him of his bad deeds. In sixth grade, Shoya Ishida leads the class in bullying Shoko Nishimiya, a classmate who is new to the school and is deaf.

![]() "Mike and Randy") knew that they were going to do ninjas. ![]() Next, the… person with the long braided black hair, with the gloves. Q: So there aren't any white, red or green ninjas? Next, the guy with the laptop at Starbucks. No, R&D talked it over and decided that a ninja's sneakiness also made sense in blue. But the combat damage triggers vary from ninja to ninja, so how they play has a great deal of variance. Next, the young girl with the silver glasses. ![]() So we introduced the samurai and then the next set – enter the ninja! ![]() So much so, that they seemed worth saving. During Champions' design we realized how cool ninjas were. This means that the first set in a block has to think about the other sets in the block. To answer this question, I have to pull everyone back a few steps. Q: Why weren't there any ninjas in Champions? You mentioned it above, so I figured someone had to ask. Next, you reading this column in between taking your turn on Magic Online. The lesson was that the audience knows a few things about Japanese mythology but not as much as you might expect. The other important discovery was how quickly the items dropped off. The two number one items (which I believe were checked by everyone who took the survey) were samurai and ninjas. They turned this into a questionnaire that they gave to everyone at Wizards they could think of who played Magic. When the Champions of Kamigawa design team starting designing the block, they made lists of everything from Japanese mythology that they thought a Magic-playing audience might know. Q: Ninjas, huh? What got you to do ninjas? Next, the twentysomething with the red tie. While this isn't the first time it's happened ( Legions, for example had a design team of two – one of which being Mike) it's far from a common occurrence. Randy is very good at giving the team perspective and helping find the strengths and weaknesses in a design.Īnd… that's it. Randy's value to the design team is not really card design (although you'll find a few of his cards in Betrayers). Then one year, he started popping up on design teams again, working on Fifth Dawn, Unhinged and Betrayers of Kamigawa right in a row. And then he started doing a lot of development. Randy Buehler – Shortly after Randy showed up at Wizards he worked on the design team for Apocalypse. Plus, he's been on over half of the design teams from Mirage forward.) (For those that don't know he was Lead Designer of Stronghold, Exodus, Urza's Saga, Urza's Legacy, Mercadian Masques, Nemesis, Planeshift, Onslaught, Legions, Betrayers of Kamiagawa and probably one or two more sets that I've forgotten. If you don't know Mike's accomplishments then you simply aren't a fan of the game's history. He's been working on Magic for nine years and has had about as much influence on the game as anyone (well, save Richard). Mike has worked on so many design teams that I'm starting to run out of new things to say about him. This means that Mike holds the record for having worked on the most Magic design and development teams (I'm currently two behind him for anyone who cares.) The end result was that Bill slipped down to number 4 and Mike, Henry and I each slipped up a slot. Henry Stern (number 4) was curious to see the list based on official design and development credits. (Current VP of R&D and former Head Magic Designer Bill Rose was number 1.) Now I made the list counting in my head. In it Mike was listed at number 2 with myself listed at number 3. Mike Elliott (Lead) – In my column during Top Ten Week (“ Top Ten of the Morning”) I had a Top Ten List of the R&D members that had worked on the most expansions. I assumed the first question would be about the card, but sure I have no problem talking about the design team. As this is your first Betrayers of Kamigawa column, would you mind telling us a bit about the Betrayers design team? A while back you started a tradition of introducing the design team of each set. Yes, you at your computer eating Diet Coke and Pork Rinds. Although it can useful for some very quick batch remuxing of MKV to MP4 files, this software is just so riddled with bugs that I'm hard pressed to recommend it since there are much better alternatives. I've been using MP4Tools and MKVTools on and off for some time now. Another free contender is Subler, but I often had issues with it. ![]() ![]() I've been using Remux.app before, and it usually works ok but not always - and doesn't offer conversion, if needed. Unfortunately, some streams I record have issues with their audio format and in such case I have to convert the audio track in MP4tools but without converting the video track! ts files to mp4 because then, if I want to sync subtitles, the utility I use doesn't recognize. In the case I mentioned above, I regularly need to remux. Yes, if you strictly need conversion, use Handbrake! I agree that the presentation of the app is misleading as it focuses on conversion but it's a lot different compared to most other converters. mp4 container.Ĭomparing it to VLC or HandBrake, like the former commenter did, is a nonsense to me: I've been using both for years and they simply don't offer remux functionality (well, there's a way to kinda do it in VLC, but you can't choose which audio flux, and it's not as easy and efficient anyway). This app (like its counterpart MKVtools) is invaluable for remuxing a multi-language file, for example, keeping only the language you want, or for moving the content of such. Apply one setting to a group of files for easy batch creations (registered copies only).Add jobs to a queue either individually or in batches via drag-and-drop so you can process multiple files overnight (registered copies only).Extract the selected tracks from MP4 videos as individual video and/or audio files.Adjust the pixel aspect ratio of MP4 videos.Split MP4 videos into segments of a specified file size or by start/end time.Control the font, size, and positioning of the embedded subtitles.Burn (i.e., hard code) subtitle tracks into the video, or mux (soft subtitles) from internal tracks or from external subtitle files commonly found on the internet.Use presets for one-step encoding for playback on common hardware such as the iPhone and Apple TV.Intuitively select desired video, audio and/or subtitle tracks to process, with the ability to verify the selections using video preview.Ability to convert various surround sound audio to 5.1 AC3 or 5.1 AAC.Simplified, intuitive user interface that takes the guess work out of processing MP4 videos.Can convert most videos without having to re-encode the video track and/or the audio track, so processing takes minutes instead of hours, and no quality is lost. ![]() Convert from a variety of video file formats like MKV, MP4, OGM, and AVI into MP4 videos. ![]() As the name might imply, MP4tools is a graphical interface for a variety of "tools" useful for processing video files. It was primarily designed for processing videos files for use in hardware capable of playing MP4 or M4V videos, such as the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and PS3. It is an OS X application used for the creation and editing of MP4 videos. MP4tools is an offshoot of the current version of the popular conversion tools called MKVtools. |
