LOOOLLL This is garbage mama, the best thing dimlim did was dropping issei and letting retsu take control
 
will listen to this a few times tho ngl shhh don't tell anyone i kinda like garbage

the lead singer took a lesson from Ice's "How to photoshop  6 pack abs"

Yeah, the Epocalipse stuff sounded like a band on the album, but Satsuki doesn’t tour with a band. So what was the point if he just ended up performing on stage by himself with the music being a backing track?
 
Comparing the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Satsuki though. Interesting. All I say is if you think those bands never had changes in direction, you’ve never actually listened to them. 

So Undertale has suddenly got a sequel in the works, Deltarune (it's an anagram of "Undertale".)
Chapter 1 is now up on https://www.deltarune.com/ 
 
Probably going to mess w/ it in the next day-or-so.
 
 

I saw it mentioned before, but I second Wolf's Rain. I saw this anime when I was young and it flew right over my head. Seeing it more recently, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The music was beautiful (composed by Yoko Kanno) and the story was captivating to watch unfold despite the ending. The color and scenery is dark, dank, and dismal, which perfectly fit with a world in despair. The show left with lots to ponder about, and I loved seeing the characters realistically develop without being too cheesy or cliche. The anime is far from a rosy, happy series, but it's one worth watching at least once. 
 
I saw others mention Death Note, and I agree. Despite its popularity among the younger crowd, I believe the series manages to digs deep into human psyche and examines some very dark themes encapsulated within the term, 'justice'. I saw the Ghost in the Shell movie mentioned earlier. I also think the series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, is good as well. It's not the exact same as the movie, but it has its own merits as well. It explores, more than once, what it means to be a human in a world where cybernetics and robotics become more prevalent. The series lacked characterization for many of the teammates on Sector 9, but the script was well-written and it wasn't a typical fighting/action series with tons of blood and gore everywhere. But when the fighting happened, it was exciting to watch.

My Halloween was pretty disappointing...had a lot of severe weather and tornado type stuff in the vicinity so only got to wear my costume an hour tops. (Well I like the severe weather...but not on Halloween come on!)

For the first time in my life, I feel really confident. Happy Halloween from your local Mei/Karuna clone

I'm only watching banana fish atm and I'm really behind. The relationship between Ash and Eiji is what I find most fascinating, it feels like genuine chemistry which is so rare in anime, especially bl adjacent anime. The combo of ott action/plot and themes of surviving trauma feel at war with each other often, I try to take it as a byproduct of being written in the 80s/90s. However, the constant use of rape as a threat to the characters feels outdated and cheap. If only they had chosen to cut some of that out, it happens too often and takes me out of the show. I read at least five volumes of the manga waaaay back when Viz originally released it, it didn't hook me then. I think I was a bit too young to appreciate it's best qualities, so I'm glad it's being given such a nice adaptation now.
I've heard good things about Bloom Into You, I'm just not in the mood for a slow romance rn.

It is funny to read this when they have changed their style more than 10 times.

A tiny umbrella AND a tiny hat? The forbidden combo reveals itself.

It looks like JUBILEE will return next year with some gigs and most probably some new music. Their first revival/reunion live will be held on 2019/01/13 at 渋谷VUENOS, at the "GOTHIC NIGHT REVERBERATION" event whose full lineup will include:
 
AUTO-MOD
JUBILEE
MADAME EDWARDA
PHAIDIA
NEUROTIC DOLL
JELSOMENA
LiQuid ButterFly
E//+Z
(plus two DJs)
 
Quick history lesson: JUBILEE was an Osaka-based underground band from 1992 till the mid '00s helmed by guitarist Sadie Pink Galaxy (XA-VAT, SPEECIES, VAMQUET). They started out playing more traditional goth/deathrock/post-punk then evolved into a sort of psychedelic industrial rock style.
 
They had a number of vocalists over the years but it looks like this revival will happen with their last singer Heresy. Sadie also tweeted a few weeks ago that they have already completed 7 new songs so far. Curious to see how this will turn out! (pls no more live-only releases, lol)
 
 
 
 
edit: They have just announced that a new album called "DEATH TWICE 4 LIVING" will be released on 2019/01/13, featuring some new versions of old JUBILEE songs too.

Still amused, though.

Oh, cool! Thank you for following up  I'm going to have a try at getting my fluent friend to give a listen and see if we can come up with something that makes sense.
