It may not seem like it to those outside, but leaving an abusive relationship is really hard. Thank you for doing what you did. Hopefully that woman will get the help she needs.

  ...but holy shit did your post get really racist really quick. not cool dude

True Detective S1 - absolutely terrific story about two detectives as they try solve the mystery surrounding a murder. Bear is right about the show being less about the mystery, and more about the characters. But the story does not disappoint, everything about the show from the writing to visualization is amazing. The Lovecraftian cosmic-horror overtones make this show really special, and one of the creepiest things I've watched in a long time. I cannot wait for season 2, but I wouldn't be disappointed if this were the only season. 10/10

In Fear - low budget horror movie about a couple that get's lost in the English (?) countryside. Heard good things about it, sadly it didn't live up to the hype. Starts off really good does a great job of building tension, but really blows it halfway through. The script dragged it down, and the acting was only okay. Then it get's packed full of cliches, and gets really predictable/boring from there. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. 4/10

yeaaah I'll believe when I see it. they've been promising a new album/single for like the past 3 years...

...I hate to be that (x-band was better when they started) person, but I really miss '08-'09 Moran. I tried but I just can't get into the new line-up or the music they've put out since Apples.

But the preview for "Fairy Tale" sounds cute! I hope we get a pretty, dreamy ballad in the vein of "Element" or "Kimi no ita gosenfu".

The only FF extension I've tried for this is ProxTube which didn't work for me. I just want to watch Tokyo Jihen PVs

I really like these especially the first one, but that font... They'd look a lot nice without any text.

Please it's no worse than your average ecchi show. people exaggerate way too much about the fan service in klk. it's not a show killing aspect if you ask me, if people would pay more attention to the actual show and the story as much as they spend trying to find reasons to not like it because it has a little fan service, then you would realize it doesn't revolve around the nudity.

 

I'm sorry but fuck this "you're just looking to be offended" mentality. Just because I noticed a bunch of sexism in the show doesn't mean that I wasn't paying attention to the story. Honestly it would be a lot harder to go through those two episodes and try to ignore all of the sexist bullshit. And "a little fanservice" are we even talking about the same show? A huge amount of the fight scene (with the boxing guy) is the camera slowly panning up over her body, and the camera zooms in on her breasts and crotch when the suit gets tighter. I can only assume that the male gaze only gets stronger as the show progresses.

btw that shame that you talk of is actually a part of the story and plot. Yes it's true, they bring it up in a later episode, she's supposed to feel shame in that episode on purpose because later on she realizes that she's not using her godrobe/kamui to it's full potential because she's not embracing her sexuality/femininity, that's why when Satski gets her godrobe she so much more powerful because she feels no shame and embraces her sexuality. Do you really think they would have such sexist undertones for the hell of it?

 

Oh you mean she was just supposed to embrace the living sailor uniform that literally stripped her naked and forced itself on her without her consent. Fuck that. It was incredibly uncomfortable to watch, unfunny, and reads like a rape scene. A woman's sexuality and femininity should not defined by her having to embrace a sexual assailant that forced her to wear a stupidly revealing outfit.

I myself really don't see anything sexist about kill la kill at all. All i can say is watch and pay attention, there's a lot of hidden messages and philosophy underneath the fanservice and epic action, you just have to look for it.

 

and tbh it's a pet peeve of mine that people start watching a show and then drop it after 2-3 episodes just because of minor details, that is in no way enough time to form a respectable and valid opinion of a show period.

 

 

Thanks but no thanks, that crap about having to "accept" the godrobe sickened me. I'm done with the show. And lol over-the-top sexism is minor now? Keep letting that conformation bias blind you. 

I just watched the first and second episodes of KLK, and it's making me really uncomfortable. Everyone is taking about the animation (which is stunning and it's praise is well-deserved), but unsurprisingly I have yet to see any complaints here about the rampant sexism in the show. I don't have an issue with fanservice (I don't like it but it's inevitable in a male dominated medium like this), but the fact that the fanservice in the first two episodes revolved around shaming and removing autonomy from the main character is what I have an issue with.

I'm gonna stick it out and watch one more episode; may it'll change my mind about the show.

I need this album in my life, leak already

yaass shall <3

I got a pax vaporizer for Christmas that I'm very grateful for, but it hasn't seen much use since the new year. I've stopped smoking for a while for personal reasons, but it was really easy to use and clean. Definitely recommend it to anyone that's just starting vaping and looking for something discreet.

SPOILER FILLED RANT

I really regret getting so invested in the show, it was a fun train wreck tho. But jfc everything the show got so convoluted and the ending felt rushed. The whole premise of the season "A witch academy" got lost really early, and the last two episodes showed just how awesome the season could have been had the show remained focused on the subject matter. I mean wtf is the Axe-man. And the plot holes, don't even get me started. Like how did Cordelia go from ayy lmao alien to pretty/normal after completing the seven wonders? Also Misty didn't deserve to go out like that! That was such a shit move of the writers to damn one of the nicest characters to an eternal hell. Her hell was also a lot worse than the other girls' hells.

I can't believe I had such high hopes for this season

 then it would be useless at the download forum too. because people also wrote in the topic: ALBUM, SINGLE, LIVE Dist, DVD, etc.

 

Except that almost never happens now since the topic-prefixes were implemented. You can see so for yourself right now in the VK DL section where there is only 1 topic that has SINGLE in the title on the first page and second pages combined.

they peaked with Gemini imo. With every release since they've been creeping back to their older safe/stale sound.

This isn't a bad a idea, but I don't think it's really necessary. Why do we need these prefixes to tell us information that is already on almost every title in the News forum? I like and have grown accustomed that the prefixes only belong to the DL threads. If you were add these labels for the News threads too, then navigating the View New Content page would be a bit confusing and look like a rainbow threw up on it.

omg so good!  Wataru Shindo is one of the coolest vk bassists right now.

Oh my god I love the new look! Love the concept of them attending their own funeral. At least that's what it looks like to me since those are older pictures of them in the back. I really hope this means they're also experimenting with their sound and bringing some fresh new ideas. God knows they need it. They can only make so many frantic noisy songs before they all start to sound alike... some of them already do imo.

yaaasss Kayoko Yoshizawa! You said you liked it, but I didn't think it'd make it on your list. Absolutly love the way you describe her music! I'm also very excited for whatever she does next.

Also really happy to see Wakusei Abnormal's Anata Sonata! It's getting a lot of shit for not being as experimental as Nandemonai... but this something else entirely. I haven't heard such lovely and charismatic pop music like this for a while now. I think I like it more than their debut tbh.

I didn't know Terra Tenebrosa and Kayo Dot had released a new album, I gotta get on that asap. Already had Sunbather's album downloaded, but I just haven't been in the right mood for it. Gonna make sure to listen to that one when I'm in the right mood, because I've seen it on a lot of people's end of the year lists. 

Digging the previews for Hedvig Mollestad Trio, Scale the Summit, and chou chou merged syrups. I'll definitley be coming back to this list whenever I'm in the mood for something different.

I like the Japanese list and happy to see Ichiko Aoba, Abe Fuyumi, and 88kasyo Junrei, among others.

But I'm focused more on the non-Japanese releases, because I feel like I didn't listen to enough this year. I've already listened to a few of these like AlunaGeorge, Toro y Moi, and Buke and Gase.

Loved the previews for these artists and I'm gonna check them out later: Blood Ceremony, Braids, Esmerine, Frande, Rose Windows, Ross McHenry, SPC ECO, The Internet. I hope I enjoy them as much as you did!

"(something) Pussy Magnet" you meant

 

I guess Takeru got overly involved with kpop aesthetics and made them leak through Sug's visual/musical appearance as well...(to be honest, I expected RINGA LINGA worship to come out in the beginning)

 

ps. who's managing them now tho? Pony Canyon?

lmao I wonder if pony canyon's gonna force-disband lmc now that they've got the original camp rock pioneers signed (and sug probably outsells lmc like 100:1)

 

in that case we can still expect aiji doing something decent before he retires in a couple years

 

a swan song solo project

pierrot reunion album

(failed) suicide attempt

I mean, just look at those options

except they've been signed to PONY CANYON for 3 years now. http://hp.ponycanyon.co.jp/pchp/cgi-bin/PCHPM.pl?TRGID=PCHP_ART_3010&CMD=DSP&DSP_ATSCOD=30798800

Diancie looks too much like Carbink for me to like it, and Fairy/Rock type is ass. Volcanion and Hoopa's typing + design are cool though. Apparently Hoopa has a new unique move that can hit through Protect and Detect which is pretty damn cool. Mega-Lati@s is a joke right? They look exactly alike! This is is even more ridiculous than the Genie-trio designs (at least their second forms made up for that though).
