Kaikan Phrase anime has too much romance? Bro! If you can't tolerate the anime version, then you'll loathe the manga to death because it shoves the music side of things like a side mission and focuses way too much on ridiculous shojo smut romance. The lackluster animation was my biggest gripe with Kaikan Phrase and it's really sad the show never even got a DVD release.
Detroit Metal City is the only other anime I can think of that's about a metal band but of course it focuses more on the comedy aspect than the musical side of things. Only 12 eps total but each episode is less than 15 min long. You can easily finish it in 2-3 hours.
Macross 7 is all about a rock band trying to save the world from aliens by piloting their mechs playing music. Definitely worth checking out if you love hearing Fire Bomber's music. There's both a TV series and OVA sequels that'll keep you entertained.

The last music CD I bought was UnChild album by Hiroyuki Sawano [nZk] ft. Aimer, and this was during my stay in Japan which was nice because it was a lot cheaper than importing it.

CS:GO was gifted to me on steam so I started playing that.
Metro Last Light I'm currently progressing through.
I dropped TERA and changed to Guild Wars 2 since it was on sale at greenmangaming.

Holy crappers, I didn't even know the site went through such a visual overhaul and not in a good way either. Haven't checked my account for months until now. But what REALLY annoys me is the auto-"correction" of my scrobbles changing them into kanji even though I disabled that auto-correction option. Da fuq last.fm?

LUNA SEA. I can never get tired of their timeless sounding music.

Because of my friends, I started playing an MMO game called TERA.
Also playing the Devil May Cry reboot which is good so far.

Stuff I'm watching this season...
Gangsta - Best show this season and most mature anime I've seen in years. Nearly the entire cast is adults making this a shining light amongst all these polluted shows based on school/VN. I've been dying for another show like Gungrave.
Snow White with the Red Hair - 2nd best this season. Shojo fantasy is always a welcome addition in my list. I'm already liking Shirayuki's character. I know the manga is still ongoing so seeing this listed as 12 eps total got me a little worried.
Gate - I'm a little disappointed the anime toned down the mature content that was presented in the manga. The plot is basically Stargate minus the sci-fi-ness, so it's more of a modern times meets fantasy. I really like the fact that the main hero is a 33 year old man.
God Eater - I've never played the games but based on the few eps so far, it seems like another Attack on Titan anime. The visuals are really interesting. It looks like water color style cell shades kinda mixed in with CG. Considering it's only planned for 12 eps, at the rate it's going, I don't the think show is going to end well.
Durarara!!x2 Ten - It feels like this show has lost its magic from the first one. As with the previous season, it's more of a passive watch than anything.
Still watching...
The Heroic Legend of Arslan - Loving the story and the themes, however the animation budget is all over the place.
Blood Blockade Battlefront - Where the fuck is this last episode? Does Bones even know? At least put it up for streaming!

Settings up printers on a network server are a pain in the ass.

Ant-man
Very entertaining film. I actually enjoyed it better than Avengers Age of Ultron. The set pieces in action scenes are great which I bet the creative staff had tons of fun with. It's got some worthy cameos from other marvel movies and tv series that's not for the sake of cameos but actually relevant to the plot. If you're looking for action comedy, check this out.

New Gundam series announced.
Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANSI can't believe they actually put orphans in the title considering how most Gundam protagonists are war orphans.

I just finished playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. Talk about ending it on a cliffhanger. It feels like an introduction to the main plot. The game has the innocence of Grandia, the romance of Lunar, and the gameplay style of FF Tactics / Disgaea. I'm trying out new game+ right now. I really can't wait for Second Story to be released and I heard it's 3 times longer being much more in-depth with the story. Thank you so much XSEED!

This is sorta steal but... I used the company's credit card to order myself Corsair K70 gaming keyboard. Once I got the package, I took it home and played around with it. Too bad the spacebar got loose so I bought it back to work and left it there as "company property" on my workstation. No one really found it. XD

Bought Killing Floor 2 during the steam sale. It's a new online shooter game I've been rocking for the past few weeks now.

Haven't read most of the responses here but...
I have one advice for bands bitching about this matter: Make your shit more accessible to us by selling it on amazon/itunes internationally so we can actually afford it, otherwise a big fuck you and deal with it because piracy will never go away.

Macross 7 is the only one with the rock band, the rest of the franchise used jpop.
