You won't get the hang of the series without watching at least about 5 or 6 episodes. It's really misleading at the start because it needs to get into its flow, and it gets more intense and dark the further it goes. (If it's then still not your thing, I guess ReZero just isn't for you) But hell, it was the surprise of last season for me. I agree with what @Original Sakusaid up there^. It's such a fresh wind in-between most of the series with a similar theme. I absolutely love how "real" Subaru is. How he gets his ups and downs. How he has to face the backlash of things he started without thinking things through. How he realizes he's fucked, basically. Yes, there are definitely generic parts here and there but the main idea of the show, and Subaru's character development (greatly thanks to Kobayashi for voicing him so perfectly), are what keep me interested. If the novel readers' comments are any indication, it'll just continue to get better and better.

To all the people complaining that now "there won't be any news anymore" let me tell you this as a person who's written for newswebsites for years: when you see one person do 95% of the stuff, you're easily demotivated to even go and try to see if whatever news you've bumped into is already there or not. So people who want to help but aren't as quick will either see that person as an easy way out, "they'll do it, I guess. Maybe already did", or will just start believing they're simply "not good enough" to bother posting anything at all. With such a person not around anymore, people will be more inclined to actually post a thing when they come across it. The "next gen" MH news people will show up by themselves for sure. That said, Trombe did lots of work through these years, and all of it was because they felt like it. While they might not have made the best decisions concerning issues and MH as a team, the work itself can't be ignored. But doing lots of work (essentially no one's asking you to do) doesn't equal being able to do whatever the fuck you want to. Rules are rules. And they are there for every single one of us.

ReZero keeps getting better and better. New season's off to a good start and there's way more interesting things than last season, but we'll see how that goes.

Still pretty sure this disbandment came out of nowhere. Everything shows it did. Whether it was a company issue, a band issue, a member issue or a combo of all of them, it was all way too sudden. I'm sure that if they'd have had the time, they'd have done a proper tour in Japan before ending the band as a whole.

Tbh, I've watched a lot of crappy shoujo series in the past few years and didn't expect much of this one either, but it really surprised me. It wasn't very deep or amazing, but it did what it had to do and did it really well.

Natural blonde Hiro. Anyway, another good song by them, as expected. Can't wait for the full album.

For some reason I thought this was either split cour, or second season already confirmed. But I might be mixing up a few series. Either way, I'm pretty sure there'll be another cour at least.

I didn't even know they were still a thing because of MONOEYES existing. I've ever only really cared for their first full length and the greatness that is The Flare, but I'll probably check it out anyway. Got a weak spot for Hosomi.

Thanks! Will do I understand this completely though. But I guess I just like to suffer sometimes. Once you get the hang of it it's alright, though I'm sure there's quite a bit of depth I still have to learn about.

Resonance of Fate! Finally decided to actually go and play the rest of it after not having touched it much for years.

That Himizu part isn't completely right. The story itself already existed as a manga and was adapted by the director to fit the Tsunami/Fukushima disaster. But it doesn't revolve around it! Ah, Love Exposure and Himizu are still two of my fave movies ever. Really great leads for both as well.

Haaaah, I've been keeping myself from continuing the last bit of extras on my PS2 because I just can't deal with those graphics anymore (+ it was already rumored). Glad that it's finally out. Also really happy with the dual audio. They should have done that with X/X-2 too (correct me if I'm wrong and they did but I just missed it).

Welkom! En veel plezier~ I'd continue in Dutch but it's just awkward over here for some reason. Too used to all the English.

Just randomly remembered that there's a VK band that put out singles called Nostalgia and Kaye one time.

Oh, missed this thread before, but I'm kind of curious? Liking the casual look too.

At first I assumed they'd all just be composing and producing her songs but it seems like the MV teaser for Taka's "Insane Dream" has him singing too. I've been listening to her for a while now but I got to say this collaboration kind of got me hyped a little. Can't wait to see/hear what the other songs will sound like. Though I didn't have time to fully translate their comments all three of them met her one way or another and fell in love with her voice and style. For people who don't know, Aimer was the opening act for one or two of OOR's concerts last year.

They keep getting better and better. Can't deny I'm a little hyped for this album.

*high fives back* As with most of these bands I just randomly picked them up somewhere a short while back. Release of the new mini was well-timed tbh.

Hmm. These are the ones I've been listening to most recently, I guess. amazarashi PENGUIN RESEARCH coldrain NOISEMAKER MY FIRST STORY Wrong City LOCAL CONNECT Another Story OLDCODEX ONE OK ROCK (Though I'd rather add Girugamesh considering they haven't been really "VK" for a while)

For some reason this doesn't come as a surprise but on the other hand they seemed like a band that could have gone on for ages. Been listening to them since way back when and saying this doesn't at least hurt a little would be a lie. Now I'm also extra sad that I can't go to the European tour because of circumstances, even though I initially was planning on going. It's been 7 years since I saw them live and I never really thought they'd "not come back" one day. I guess at least I'm glad they're going out with Chimera for a last release rather than something like Now or Go. We had a good run, Giru. You'll be missed.

Welcome back!

Might as well just watch the anime run that started this season. I totally forgot most of the OVAs and never managed to finish them, so I'm just watching the anime series at the moment. Not sure if it'll have additional scenes or anything, but it should be mostly the same.

I think I'm one of the few people to actually say this is a good thing. Not specifically for the reason they say it is, but have you ever stood in a pit with people dancing and moshing around while a whole bunch of people are trying to film things and take pictures? You know how many times they look at you like you've murdered someone just because "oh no, my picture got ruined thanks to you". Then when they drop their phones and the screens crack, it's also your fault because you bumped into them. First few rows or balcony places are totally something else but don't take pics when you're in the middle of a moving crowd :/ (it's also annoying when other people who aren't filming are trying to look at what's happening on stage. You just get arms flinging around trying to take the perfect shot of their idols) I'm also not really sure on what's so fun about watching a full gig through your phone/camera's screen while the people are playing right in front of you.

Compatibility with other users? It's been showing that for months!? The artists you have in common as well?!

the cuts on his chest and all were definitely real, but I've always been sceptical about the blood from his mouth. It just didn't feel possible + as you said, it looked too bright to be actual blood.
