CAT5

Album title should be renamed to "FUN WITH ENGLISH!"

I might check out Noragami eventually. I also need to check out Psycho Pass still! I actually started KNK last year either around the time I started Titan or Aku no Hana, but I just don't think it was for me. The animation was beautiful and fluid, though! On another note! I started watching Space Dandy subbed. Is this the English dub of this one any good? (I only ask because I enjoyed Bebop and Champloo dubbed). I don't really know how I feel about it yet, though.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Cavendish! They did an amazing job with him as well. Looks like you can't resist his charm I didn't know about Rebecca's age tbh, but her voice makes sense now. And yeah, Fujitora definitely has to be evil to some extent...he's a fucking admiral! Even Kuzan, despite his current standing and his aloof personality quirks, was pretty die-hard when he was in the marines (although still not to the extent of Akainu and Kizaru...those bastards are beyond cray cray). Can't wait to see when the 3rd new admiral appears. And on that note, I also can't wait to see what CP0 is up to! CP9 was without a doubt one of the crew's toughest enemies ever...i mean fuck, they pushed everyone to new levels! I wonder if Lucci will ever appear again? I don't know why, but he's just really bad-ass to me LOL. Although his skillset wouldn't stand a chance against the current straw-hat lineup. About the pacing, yeah, that's probably what will happen. The Dressrose arc was/is definitely confusing to read, so watching the anime certainly makes things more clear. That's also a good point about them being able to flesh out scenes too...I just hope they don't resort to abusing flashbacks...especially of stuff that happened only an episode or 2 ago!

Yep, Kill la Kill is just beyond amazing.

I forgot to mention that I'm loving how they've colored and voiced Bartolomeo! Just perfect! Rebecca's voice is a bit cuter than I expected and Fujitora's voice is much more menacing and evil-sounding than I imagined! and yeah saku, I hope they find a nice balance with the anime/manga soon. The Dressrosa arc is starting wonderfully, but the anime's pacing of Punk Hazard was getting annoying and boring XD

So finally caught up with the anime. Absolutely loving these Dressrosa episodes so far! Even though I know what's going to happen since I'm a bit ahead in the manga, watching them animated is wonderful....It really reminds me of when I first started watching OP...the entire feeling of this arc so far is just wonderful. Ep. 635 was definitely pretty funny. Sanji especially...dude just lost track of everything. "Dear Nami and Robin, how's the weather there?", "I'm being hit by a hurricane...called love"....lmao

well damn lol

The short answer is: YES You will find all kinds of vocalists and all kinds of rock outside of VK if you look for it. As for Visual Kei...I once asked my Japanese friend "why do VK vocalists sound like this", since he has an innate understanding of the language, and he replied that VK vocalists sing with kind of a forced accent, and that's it's not their natural singing voice. That explanation made an incredible amount of sense to me. Obviously, that doesn't mean that VK vocalists are singing "right" or "wrong" or anything like that - it's simply the style they choose to sing in. So yeah, there you have it.

One male amongst 3 females, must have been tough for him LOL! Well, I can't say that I'm a big tricot fan, but its an interesting development I think...especially at a time when the band seems to be doing pretty well. Perhaps he's leaving because they've continually mixed his drumming like utter shit on record? haha

eh......not liking the sound of this single at all

Yeah, I wasn't too overly impressed with Titan either. The premise and the musical score are pretty awesome, but I agree with the pacing being pretty bad (I didn't really start enjoying the show until towards the end), and the characters are all around flat and uninteresting. I seriously found it hard to empathize with any of them. For instance, the whole Jean and Marco relationship...when Marco died/had half his body torn off...I didn't understand why so many fans thought it was so sad - I just looked at him as a nobody character lol. Also, I understand that titan is a fairly serious show, but I remember finding the "humorous" moments to be awkward and poorly done. But even with all of it's faults, it's interesting how huge of a hit the show was/is. I can't recall seeing one anime so rampantly parodied lol...

^ LOL flame. And thx for the clarification, saku! And I just caught up on to kill la kill (ep. 19) I took a break at ep. 15 because I was kinda loosing interest and was getting a bit confused at the story's direction, but episode 16-19 just brought everything full circle. I even found myself getting emotional with some of the events and THIS IS RARE for me. Like, srsly... I almost never get emotionally intertwined with series and kill la kill has managed to tug on my heart strings, so...JOB WELL DONE. Not to mention I think the anime is just all-around creative and entertaining. I know it's not finished yet, but this is one of the best anime I've seen in a long time!

Ohh, I was thinking there were some specific Japanese genre classification for them. I guess I like seinen anime then XDD

subliminal echoes - Gravity of the Sun obscure-ass Japanese instrumental band that has only released a 2 song demo back on 2009. I doubt they're still active, but it's a shame because these 2 tracks are just fantastic.

Random, but what types of anime would stuff like ghost in the shell, ergo proxy, berserk, and samurai champloo be considered? Just curious, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to these classifications.

They just kinda fall into my hands these days

Some selfies of me looking,..rather expressionless, ha

MY FAVORITE BAND
