Safe to watch ep 38?

I saw it and didn't have any problems. You should be fine.

The only version of it that's available is way too low quality to cause seizures, especially if you're watching on something like YouTube where the screen will be tiny. Loads of people have watched it online and they're fine. It's not too surprising that those Japanese children got seizures though, there really wasn't need for that much flashing red and blue lights :/

Yeah, and we all know that little kids get as close to the TV as possible, so that wouldn't help :/
 
1) if you have epilespy, be careful, and 2) don't sit too close to your screen, that apparently was part of why people had seizures.

I've personally seen it many times and never had one problem.
 
Pretty sweet episode imo. The rapid and extended flashing does give me headaches, as well.
 
See you all didn't get seizures for a couple reasons.
A. If its streaming the quality is going to be sooooo much lower.
B. No one is going to put something online that could give someone a seizure. Well they can, but then its going to be taken down.
C. If you watch something that can give you a seizure, just make sure you are in a brightly lit room. Light pollution can be your friend sometimes.
 
Funny, because that's basically what the notice says during the start of almost every anime these days. The text in the picture below roughly says: "While watching anime, make sure not to sit too close to the screen and that the room is well lit."

Watching the Porygon episode is heavily reduced because as mentiond by Akio123 above, but I would like to add that it is still not 100% safe.
Watching it wouldn't be a problem, but if you're head starts hurting, or dizzy then stop watching it ASAP.
Not sure if you're up to it? Then don't watch it at all. Grab a summary instead.

As for myself, I didn't end with any headache or so, but it was rather annoying to see the screen flashing like it did during the episode.
 
Ive seen it and nothing happened you'll be fine to watch it.
