    I used to really love early ABC and I don't know how, but I've only just recently realized that Yasu's Janne Da Arc vocalist o.o 

    Is he still active tho?

     

     

    I know Yasu has had cervical vertebrae issues where ABC had to cancel their tour in 2017. Since then, they've largely been radio-silent aside from the JDA disbandment news : /.

    The 2-cours and follow-up seasons of existing franchises, which are plentiful this Fall, will absolutely dominate this season*. As for new series, 5/8 I cover here are manga isekai adaptations.

    • Assassins Pride
      • This one has been a fun read, and EMT² should do a good job with the adaptation. There's def the pervading dark v. light motif and a decent amount of action. I can't give much detail plot-wise b/c the beginning sets the stage for the rest of the series.
    • Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru
      • This is a gag isekai, but a fun one. Guy gets summoned as a hero but is actually some OCD prepper who spends literal days in the summoning chamber trying to buff up.
    • Choujin Koukousei-tachi wa Isekai demo Yoyuu de Ikinuku you desu!
      • Some ultra-genius students (in their respective expertise) get isekai'd from a plane accident. There's world building, politics, and even arcs where parts of the team get their own narratives. However, it becomes largely bland b/c it's one of those series where the characters somehow drag in their modern weapons & thinking and squash all their enemies. Any complexity gets dumbed down a few notches with adaptations anyway.
    • Ore wo Suki nano wa Omae dake ka yo
      • You think it's going to be some comedy-harem series but you get knockoff OreGairu instead. There are def. misunderstandings & melodrama, but a lot of people still dig that. P.A. Works gave me my fill of that in the late 00's - early 10's. 
    • Watashi, Nouryoku wa Heikinchi de tte Itta yo ne!
      • Isekai'd not wanting to be OP but becomes OP anyway. Becomes "cute girls doing cute things" intermixed with action ofc. I want this to be good, but I think it'll share the same fate as Choyoyu! (3rd down) becoming pretty bland. 
    • Val × Love
      • The return of the battle harem, but it runs on ero-mechanics. Hoods Entertainment also adapted Sekon no Qwaser which also relied on heavy eroticism. If you like heavy "plot"/fanservice, disregard the rating and go watch it.
    • Hataage! Kemono Michi
      • Pro-wrestler + animal lover gets isekai'd and suplexes the princess after being told he had to get rid of beasts. Ends up running a pet shop for the rest of the series. Becomes some gag comedy + fantasy-SoL.
    • Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen
      • Librarian gets isekai'd into a world without books. This def. has the benefit of being one of the first (?) shoujo isekai adaptions, which steers it clear off the ecchi path. It might turn out to be a bit bland similarly to the two others mentioned above. 

    *

    • Azur Lane will be really popular this season, simply because it's following the same playbook as Kancolle. Both of them are popular naval combat mobage, w/ each now having their own anime adaptations.
    • Mairimashita! Iruma-kun is airing as a two-cour, but it will last much longer than that. It's a shounen series with 11 volumes of content to work with, so depending on the reception it could last for a few years.
    • Beastars has a cult-following with 14 volumes of material. It features anthropomorphic animals and, while initially sounding like furbait, has an actually deep plot. It sounds like a grittier version of Zootopia, lol.

     

    There's a couple scattered hobbyist series, but I'll give a peek at everything. Babylon with its plot is catching my interest 🤔. A lot of the yellow implies that I'm inconclusive about most of the series here. Like always, anime adaptations can swing in any way and everyone has their own tastes.

    and for those of you in the know, is HH gone or is the owner letting it die to fakku like we all feared? Good times were had there.

    Initially the former, but HH 2: Electric Boogaloo is happening. I mean, everything hosted there is straight out of the sukebei trackers (sukebei.nyaa.si currently), so technically anyone could step in and create a mirror/streaming site. nhentai, hitomi.la, etc. have a similar relationships to E and Ex in the print world. 

     

    Also, in case the feds are browsing this. I have nothing to do with the lolishit, #milfking.

     

    *Cakes are good too. Generally, older women drawn by female mangaka is the best combo.

    • Open-mindedness comes with exposure, and it's necessary to know what you're looking for, musically, to grow those sensibilities.
    • Music is interpreted differently from person-to-person.
      • Melody, texture, rhythm, lyricism, etc. or any combination of the musical elements contribute to one's enjoyment, and they all exist on a really wide spectrum.
      • Upbringing and culture + How your enjoyment could stem from different memories, places, etc. 
      • There are so many variables to consider, but those same qualities I've mentioned could be extrapolated to other aspects of life. "Music is not so different to life", as Herbie Hancock puts it.
    • The same problem you have with people lacking open-mindedness is not asimilar to categorizing or compartmentalizing those who aren't open-minded. Binary thinking runs rampant on the internet and irl, but if you approach topics gingerly you'd be surprised how many people want to listen. Just don't try to push it with those unwilling.
    • For us on a music forum, it might be hard for some to think this way, but music is just like every other artistic medium. My fine art "repertoire" is not very large as paintings don't really retain my interest atm. Someone's interest in music is the same. It could be in its infancy and might grow in the future, or they let it be because that's not what inspires/intrigues them.

    Many people have music "tunnel vision", and I've gone through it myself. I think the internet which plays the largest role in "The Shrinking World", has been pivotal in increasing open-mindedness regarding diff. cultures and by extension, music.

     

    So, I think it'll get better, but for now I just let people like whatever they want ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Both parties should be respectful about it, obv. The internet will always have stuck up people b/c it reflects life (w/ some added anonymity.)

    All alcohol tastes like shit [2]

     

    Given the opportunity I do shots, but otherwise I avoid alcohol altogether. Sucks b/c whenever anyone wanted to hang out in college, they'd pull out shitty Burnett's & Pabst Blue Ribbon. It took me awhile to find friends who didn't drink all the time :/.

    Looks like they're all flash videos/ flv. Just get one of those "flash video downloader" extensions and you'll be set.

     

    I use the Network panel in Chrome's devtools, but the above should suffice.

     

    *Doesn't this just mirror YT stuff, anyway?

    I used to be such a huge fan of them, but they've used the same softsynth effects for YEARS now (pretty much listening to the same song.) I guess their popularity stems from being that one kirakira kei band that consistently speaks on gya issues. I know that they blew up after 病んでる君に贈る歌 which became a menhera rehab/ anti-suicide anthem. They also have vk marketing down pat, which sucks b/c I hate all the multi-types.

    Interesting, as this song talks about plastic surgery. Not surprised it's got to #1.
