Original Saku

Mostly playing Dark Souls III again and the DLC this time, having a blast! Also started Dragon Quest VII for the 3DS a few days ago, and man what a blast from the past! they just don't make JRPGs like they used to, also this game is long as shit if I remember correctly so zero chances of me finishing it before Pokemon comes out next week >.<

Our monthly recommended tracks segment is also a really great place to look for new music every month!

Holy Fuck! that shit was brutal... I'll never look at penguins the same way again

yes. and I'm off of work tomorrow so I should be able to make an appearance!

LOL. nothing better than Aris on tekken commentary at Final Round. Fun fact, I was actually at this event. I'm probably about 10-15 feet back behind this match watching marvel finals on the other side of the room XD

great list! I even found a few movies I've not seen, gonna pick a few to watch for the next few days. thanks!

that is most definitely a transcode

Spoilers incoming! you've been warned!

lol.. so it's okay if the trap is good enough to fool the event staff? but they don't want a bunch of ugly men running around cross dressing and freaking the normies out, so they just ban it altogether? xD this is actually quite funny and ironic... this is Japan were talking about, they pretty much put the trap character archetype on the map, to the point where there is hardly a season that goes by without a series or two with the character type.

LOL. PS2 emulation has been in a satisfactory working state for like 5-6 years now.... XD PCSX2 master race <3

So I recently took the plunge into the world of gunpla... which was something I've been wanting to do for years, and now that I have the income to support the hobby I'm finally getting into building. I figured I'll make a gunpla thread and see who else has taken to the hobby and maybe drum up some interest among people who may not know about gunpla. I just finished my first build myself and I'm really pleased with it. I chose a HG Shining Gundam 1/144 model as my first kit, one of my favorite gundam frames. here's some finished pictures that i snapped with my phone I'm extremely happy with how it turned out, there for a while I didn't know if it was gonna pan out. I probably put around 25 hours into the kit. Approximately 7-9 hours putting it together which includes sanding and other prep. I panel lined as much as I could which is what took the longest at around 12 hours trying to get it just right. And then 3-4 hours prepping the model and spraying for a matte top coat finish. Next time I can see it not taking nearly as long since I'm now more used to these techniques. anyone else on the forum build gunpla or has an interest in gunpla in general? Let me/us know. I plan on looking into how to build a lightbox for pictures soon, I will of course need a better camera than my phone first though xD I already have my next kit planned out... It will be HG 1/144 Gundam Wing Fenice from GBF, I plan on getting started on it sometime next month after a I take a break for a few weeks.

Pretty much my thoughts. I kinda dislike the idea of people thinking they need to change... like why? I'm totally content with this amazing sound they have mastered, the thought of them trying to change their sound just makes me nervous beyond belief

Great review as always @Zeusbut damn.. i hate your opinion so much right now XD As someone who absolutely loves everything mono has ever done and who's love of the band has only increased with each release throughout the years, I'm so saddened to hear that you don't feel the same. Requiem for Hell is probably one of the most satisfying albums I've heard this year and damn do I feel that 5/10 rating is way too low for something objectively so solid... safe? sure. but solid nonetheless. I can only feel that you let your distaste with your own expectations dictate your final score. I still love your review and writing style though, I wish I could articulate my musical opinion as well as you do

Yes! awesome release that came out of left field foe me. Totally a ten star album, agree 100% with your review @Zeus Terui and Hasui is such a good combo and I can hardly believe these two genius' are working together on something this great. The biggest surprise to me was that Annabel was involved, I'm so glad she is though because she rocks. I hope we can get some new music from them soon and that they don't go the way of SFP and get too big for their own good.

lol I voted for X-Japan before I knew that it was a popularity poll XD I thought it was a "who do you think is better" not a "who is more popular" poll. DEG is totally more popular now a days.

YES. Shigatsu is slick one of my favorite series from the past few years, it is so enjoyable and has really good believable moments and interactions between the characters. A must watch if you are a romance/slice of life fan and a piano nerd. Also

What a legend. He will be missed. Really sad all of a sudden... this hits pretty hard even though I knew it was coming, after they finally officially disbanded earlier this year and the long farewell message about the disbandment and the final release.... It was almost like Kawashima was saying goodbye to all of us fans then and there because he knew he didn't have long. Damn.

@Bearsomeday I'll check out all the great western metal releases you post in these topics every month, but that day is not today XD it sucks not having any time, It's really hard just keeping up with Jmusic right now... someday.

Man why can't they just air it subbed XD I feel sorry for all the casual anime fans, they're going experience this great show for the first time and what they'll get is probably an uninspired mess that doesn't do the series justice... just stop dubbing anime America, leave it to the professional voice actors who actually have passion for it and it's not just not another job or paycheck for them. /rant So sick of shit-tier English voice work in dubbed anime over here.

about time Friend request sent!

Cool , I'll watch out for it

91 Days is easily the winner of this season for me, such a good drama/thriller story. It kept me on the edge of my seat almost at all times, and I really ended up caring about most of the characters. Prohibition mafia anime done right imo. Mob Psycho 100 comes in as a close second, just because I love One-sensei's works so much xD Honestly I think I might have enjoyed Mob more than One Punch Man, even though OPM has the superior action and animation. Mob just has so much charm and Reigen-sama is literally one of the best characters ever Still watching Alderamin and it's pretty great, waiting on the last episode right now.... I wish it was a 2cour so bad Oh and of course re:Zero ended and now my life is so empty.... jk Honestly though, I don't think I've enjoyed or obsessed over a show so much in ages, and it feels good. Haters gonna hate, but right now it is a serious AOTY contender.

Shit looks tight as fuck, I might need to go ahead and play Yakuza 5 since I've been putting it off for so long, oh and also isn't 0 supposed to be coming here next year?
