CAT5

You just made me think of this video... 😛

Ok, @yomii....I might have to rescind the statement I made on your status not too long ago! There are some cool features here, and this definitely has the potential to be dope!

Hey there, welcome to the forum! Feel free to make yourself at home! If you have any questions/concerns, just feel free to hit up the staff (members with blue/red/green names). Enjoy!

Art in the Age of Automation by Portico Quartet

My dear Dispo, WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN?!? ahahaha, i'm just fuckin withchall. I like the song.

This world is fucked beyond belief. But despite how treacherously people treat one another...and despite how poorly we even treat ourselves...to be courageous enough to even just try to do better in the face of such overwhelming bleakness, and not just fall into the mire of spiritual destitution like the rest... That's such a beautiful thing!

I'm not sure if these guys are classified as VK or pseudo-VK or whatnot, but they're a jazz-rock band that may appeal to you. "really good guitar" is a bit vague for me, as I'm not super familiar with Sugar...BUT, here's one of my favorite bands called 八十八ヶ所巡礼 (88kasyo Junrei). They're not VK...but the vocalist is male Here are some of their songs that u can skim through:

Dope!

Spoiler Warning: 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.

Welcome back!

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

HITORIE was one of my favorite bands, and wowaka was a brilliant musician. My heart goes out to all of his family, friends, and fellow fans.

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:
