Has anyone heard Wednesday Campanella's new album SUPERMAN? It's really freaking good. And it's on the US iTunes so I've been listening thru Apple Music. Every song is great if you like her. Her best album yet.

FInished playing ABZU. Wonderfully immersive and scenic taking video game as an artsy type to the next level. A bit short clocking about less than 5 hours, but it's got replay value.
 
Started playing something old school called Final Fantasy 9. It's my first time playing it and so far, not bad at all.

yes it did. a really nice surprise, and a surprisingly solid port.
 
Sega <3

Bayonetta came out on PC so I can try and play that for like the 3rd time soon probably

91 Days
Prohibition era mafioso revenge story, really dark and bloody and goes the extra mile in character development. perhaps the best thing about the show is it's a short series (12 episodes) and it has a definitive ending.
 
Ajin
Supernatural series about demi-humans. Has a lot of morality conflictions and goes into how demi-humans are treated in society. Dark and gory as fuck. Also It's CG animation so if you want something that looks a little different from the norm, that's a plus.
 
Claymore
Supernatural Fantasy with flesh eating demons called youma. Badass female protag with vengeance on the mind and a pension for bloddshed, very heavily inspired by Berserk (imo).
 
Death Note
It's hard to believe there are people who haven't heard of this show, but for the sake of new comers. Pretty much one of the most popular anime over here in the states. About a high schooler who finds a notebook called the death note, he soon finds out that any person who's name he writes down in this book will die mysteriously. With this power the protag decides to do good in the world and meat out "justice" as he see's fit, none the less there are other's with this power and a lot of mysterious surrounding the whole thing. Also there are demons, yes. Hands down one of the best psychological thriller series ever created, a must watch.
 
Gantz
Sci-fi series with a a lot of super natural elements. without spoiling too much, the main characters die but then are brought back to play in a "game" of sorts, along with other "dead" people. together they are forced to fight aliens and other sci-fi entities tot he death, if they are not victorious then they die for real. Deals heavily in psychological themes such as societal acceptance and what it truly means to want to die.
 
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Super natural horror mystery where... quite honestly shit just goes wrong over and over and over again for the main characters. Desperation and psychotic breakdowns, violence to the extreme, and psychological themes a plenty.
 
Mousou Dairinin (Paranoia Agent)
Possibly the weirdest series on this list. Goes into a lot of bizarre themes of paranoia and the the story can be a bit on the complicated side to follow if you're not paying extra close attention. Not gonna say anything about the actual plot because I feel it would lessen  the experience when you watch it.
 
Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor
Post apocalyptic mecha show with some serious shit going down. Hidden gem of the mecha genre in my opinion, very similar to Evangelion except you'll actually care when these characters die, and die they will, tons of them in fact, in horrifying and sick ways. Which is the problem, this show has A+ character development, you get so attached to characters but so many die that it hurts inside You want a dark mecha series with lots of gore and terrific plot? here you go.
 
just what came to mind, that's all for now.

i can live in this thread lolol
 
seconding Kara no Kyoukai(Garden of Sinners). that stuff is really good and i'd suggest not to give up after watching 1st movie unless you will completely hate it. when i rewatched these movies for 2nd time i liked this franchise even more. delicious stuff!
 
and one of my favorites - Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji. only japanese people can turn out such simple children's game as rock-paper-scissors into a thrilling gamble. though, the visuals may scare you at first but in fact they are quite unique and you'll easily get used to them. i myself even enjoy it tbh. 
 
also wanted to mention a few anime that aren't considered as dark/mature and are rather much more popular among teens, so due to this they might be overlooked by some people. but in my opinion to completely grasp all their layers you need to be an adult. such as Death Note, Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood are really ought to be checked by everyone no matter what. 

Wow, 10 years =O Haven't been here in ages but on this boring saturday night decided to take a look here again xD
 
it feels like only a few years ago i joined TW after a spamrage on I believe Tonberry back in the days xD, and than all those countless of hours I spend here on the TW/MH forums, the chat, the last.fm boards, everywhere. I have so much fond memories here, and met such awesome people on this forum. Also loved the years I was a member of the team on here. 
And I still remember some events like if they happened last week, some bad to some awesome =)
 
But then again, I came in contact with Japanese music back in 2002 or something, so as that is already 15 years ago, i really don't know what I done the first 5 years... I mentioned Tonberry, I guess Jpopsuki, but it's so long ago by now xD must've been some other boards. But none were like these =). 

Since neither one of you have answered my question to a degree which satisfies me, I'm now taking action. If the two of you can share a room and share a computer, you can share your feelings too. This little cat and mouse game you have been playing is old news. Leave your little games on Reddit and the confines of your apartment. I don't want either one of you mucking up the forums until you hold hands, sing kumbaya, and figure out which one of your two personalities is the more dominant one. I've already banned one of you so this shouldn't be too hard.
 
Oh, and I'm going to attribute any future accounts with Pokemon names in them to be either one of you...

What the Muk did you just Mukin’ say about me, you little pidgey? I’ll have you know my Rattata is in the top percentage of Rattatas, and I’ve been involved in numerous gym battles with Brock, and I have over 300 confirmed Rattata catches. I am trained in Normal-type warfare and I’m the top youngster in the entirety of Pewter City. You are nothing to me but just another trainer. I will wipe you the Muk out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Route 3, mark my Muking words. You think you can get away with walking past me on your way to Mt. Moon? Think again, Muker. As we speak, I am contacting my secret network of youngsters across Kanto and your Pokedex is being traced right now so you better prepare for PokeBattle, Magikarp. The PokeBattle that wipes out the pathetic little Pokemon you call your Bulbasaur. You’re muking fainted, Kakuna. I can stand right here, and only right here, and my Rattata can make you black out in over 700 ways, and that's just with tackle. Not only am I extensively trained in Rattata combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of my comfy cargo shorts and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable Abra off the face of the region, you little Spearow. If only you could have known what a PokeBattle your little walk past me was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have stayed in Viridian Forest. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you pants wearing idiot. I will tail whip fury all over you and you will faint in it. You’re Muking blacked out, Red.

Hello MH. 
 
I have big news regarding my personal life and I wanted to share it all with you - the community. 
 
I made a video regarding this announcement as I feel it's better to put it into my own words instead of faceless text. 
 
Please watch as I share this new life with you all. 
 
Love,
Furik
 
 

I'm about 26 hours into Persona 5 right now and I'm only in June, loving every second of it so far!

Zelda has really sunk its teeth in to me, I've been playing it a fair amount recently. This is pretty surprising given that I have never been a Zelda fan. I could go on and on as to why that is, but that is a different topic. But they hype got me and I picked up Breath of the Wild. And man am I glad I did. I still think the combat is a little clunky, but man this world really is magically. I am not sure if I have ever played an open world game that has felt quite as alive of BotW.

been playing Persona 5 ever since it came out and it's really great so far, i mean of course, look at how amazing it looks!! they went all artsy on this, everything is so flashy that i sometimes don't know what i'm looking at haha, like the menus for example, but i'm getting used to it now. it's not totally a bad thing though because at least it doesn't look boring or too simple. i played about 9 hours already but a lot goes on at the beginning so it wasn't until about 4-5 hours that i finally got the freedom to roam around the city and explore. can't wait to see all the fun activities and weird stuff coming up ahead!
 
oh, and i love using the ambush attack. reminds me a bit of tenchu~

PERSONA 5!!!
Fuck yeah, it feels good to be alive! what a fucking year 2017 is lit.

I'm avoiding playing Hollow Knight, cuz I simply don't want it to end. What a game. exactly my kind of stuff. My GOTY so far. It's THAT good (granted, I haven't played BotW yet, so...)
 
Also having a blast with ZeroEscape: The Nonary Games. If you have any interest in visual novels, but like me, the japanese-y weird stuff keeps you away (I'm looking at you, Danganronpa), this is the game for you. Of course it has it's share of weirdness, ladies with excessive cleavage and overused tropes, but it was WAAAAAY toned down in comparison to most VN around. The story is really interesting aswell, focusing on scientific/urban legend lore, and the way it folds, with multiple endings/timelines that influence one another, with a smart gameplay that doesn't require you to replay everything just to see other story paths, makes for an easy recommendation.

Lol found these while browsing Jake's old myspace.
 

 

 

 
I'm pretty sure this is from the very first acen panel we did.
 
Also more promotional images lol

Do yourself a favor and read the manga, ten times better than any of the adaptions. With that said, the movies are what I consider to be the best adaption of the series so far... the 90's series is good but a severely inaccurate adaption, and the newest series is just not really that good, horrible animation, shitty pacing, and skips a lot of key scenes.
