    Spoiler Warning: :lol::lol::lol:

    Spoiler

     

     

     

    I enjoyed the episode! I see where both of you are coming from @Zeus and @Bear tho.

     

    There's definitely a lot of cheese and predictability atm, but I gave up on the show ever being as good the first two seasons (those were my favorite). I did't mind the lack of action in the first EP, because I was actually looking forward to certain character reunions and interactions, but those were a bit underwhelming as I felt the script overall was pretty wanting. The effort was appreciated, though.

     

    I do share @Zeus's concern about reconciling all of the individual character arcs in a meaningful and satisfying way tho. For the amount of people that have died, the cast is still pretty huge. And depending on how this last season plays out, it seriously has the ability to taint the legacy of the series or even improve it imo. After all of the characters' individual journeys and struggles - I think it would be cheap of D&D to simply write all of that off because "OMG ICE ZOMBIES WE ALL GONNA DIE". So my only real hope for the series at this point is that they can play into the grandeur of this final battle without completely belittling or devaluing all of the individual characters that have made the show so compelling up til this point. That's already happened to some extent...and I can understand why some of that was even necessary, but I really do hope they'll be able to find some sort of balance in the end.

    RIP. Never got around to listening to a full release from hitorie, but I've always really loved this song and video.

    That's one of my favorites too! If you ever get around to listening to their albums, I think you'll really enjoy them. Their most recent album was really good, but they're all great imo!

     

     

    This is probably THE FIRST Seiko Oomori song that I REALLY enjoy! Which is pretty ironic since it's an anime OP. I'm not sure what this says about her career, or my music taste for that matter :tw_joy:

    Been slowly watching My Hero Academia and just realized that the music is composed by the same guy who did the OST for Gundam Build Fighters (林ゆうき / Hayashi Yuuki) - and that's pretty exciting for me, as I thought the music for the Build Fighters series was great. Dude really excels at creating that "heroic/motivational" vibe in his music and it fits perfectly with these series:

    Netflix has announced the initial cast for its live-action “Cowboy Bebop” series: John Cho will play the lead role of Spike Spiegel, while Danielle Pineda (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) will play Faye Valentine, Mustafa Shakir (“Luke Cage”) will portray Jet Black, and Alex Hassell will play the villain Vicious. The 10-episode series will see Alex Garcia Lopez directing the first two episodes. Original director Shinichiro Watanabe is a consultant on the new show, which has yet to receive a release date.

    Sadly, can't find their stuff on Spotify anymore. Buuut people really should check them out! It's a fusion of Japanese folk music and Latin American elements.

     

    This is dope! Naruyoshi Kikuchi did a *somewhat* similar Japanese folk/Latin fusion song for the Gundam Thunderbolt OST that I thought was fantastic:

     I always find myself strangely drawn to sad music, even though I'm not particularly sad very often.

    Same here. Since my youth, I've always gravitated towards music that was melancholy and moody (cinematic/dramatic as well), and it's quite a curious thing.  It really makes me wonder what the driving force(s) behind our music tastes are. (granted, I enjoy plenty of different kinds of music, but I would say this is one of the key areas for me)

     

    Anyways, here are some of my favorite "sad-sounding" J-rock songs:
