Welcome to the NIAA anime download page. This space is here as a service to club attendees who have either missed a meeting or want to recap a previous meeting.

A quick primer on how to get these episodes to play on your computer. Many anime episodes are encoded in audio/video formats called codecs that do not come installed or standard on an operating system such as Windows or OS X. There is an easy way and a hard way to remedy this.

The easy way is to use a universal video player such as VLC Video Player. VLC includes all of the modern codecs in the player itself, so you do not need to install the individual codecs. Windows version is here. OS X version is here.

The hard way is to of course download the codecs yourself. This sounds painful, but for a reason you might not expect. Codecs can be bundled into a single installer, but there are so many different ones to chose from it can be mind boggling. Here are solutions each for Windows and Mac OS X that are geared for viewing anime.

Windows
Media Player Classic - HomeCinema - You will need to uninstall any existing codec packs on your computer and reboot before installing this. 32-bit version is recommended, even if you're using a 64-bit version of Windows. There are some awesome guides here and here if you want to tweak settings in MPC-HC to better support using your video card to decode high definition video.

Mac OS X
Perian - Follow the installation instructions. Perian messes with the QuickTime libraries to support additional video codecs and containers. Perian basically augments any QuickTime-based player you already use.

If you guys are having any problems, toss me an email (chasetatsujin at gmail dot com).

Now then, onto the anime!
