It was Reita in the map room with the poison.

Creep game too strong.

3 started off with a really great concept, but by episode 7 they like realized they had way too many sub-plots going on so they raced to finish each as abruptly as possible (i.e., killing the neighbors and Nan and being like "meh," but then killing off everyone else and bringing them back like 40 times to keep the story going). But they still had time for an inpromptu Stevie Nicks music video???

Not so oblivious to the world after all, eh?

This album is so addictive. I find myself listening to LOOKER all the time. Such a fun fast track, blows my mind.

This sounds like the musical equivalent of tap water . . . except Byou's rockin' the cca. 2012 L'Arc Hyde look, so more like stale tap water.
 
(still, more listenable than what I usually sample from them)

Hey-o, welcome! Lots of nice bands there~

420 MEJI'BLAZE IT

Start with their album imo (tho they don't really have that much stuff to begin with xD).

Yeah, that's what I thought. Cool hearing you're enjoying it so far. You should check out the Pre-Electric Wizard 1989-1994 split sooner or later too. It's a threeway split of the band's three pre-Electric Wizard bands. Different from the Electric Wizard stuff, but very good.

Good to know he's taking the well-needed rest. Hoping he'll get even better with time.

No question for me here - easily the GazettE. They have their ups and downs but basically more listenable than non-listenable songs all in all. While I just cannot get into Nightmare because of Yomi's constipated opera vox and unremarkable instrumentals.

I'm very picky with anime and manga, so not a whole lot:
 
Ghost in the Shell by Masamune Shirow
Uzumaki by Junji Ito
20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa
Suehiro Maruo's stuff

Hey there, welcome~~

It depends on what you're looking for.
 
Their debut, Electric Wizard, is a straight forward trad. doom album in the vein of the classics.
 
Come My Fanatics... is slower, heavier and borrows a lot from sludge and stoner as well.
 
Dopethrone is often considered the band's best album. It's even slower and heavier than Come My Fanatics... and sounds way more massive and psychedelic.
 
Let Us Prey is a more experimental album, and their most experimental to date. Not saying much, though.
 
We Live is less experimental, and more back to basis. My second favourite just after Witchcult Today.
 
Witchcult Today  are my favourite ElWiz album. It is recorded with vintage audio equipment from the 1970s, and it is very easy to hear that because production-wise it's 100% 70's.
 
Black Masses is a continuation of Witchcult Today. A bit more mellow maybe?
 
Anyway, I'd rate 'em like this:
 
1. Witchcult Today
2. We Live
3. Black Masses
4. Dopethrone
5. Come My Fanatics...

He really turned up the gackt in Bastille. Unmei = God Summer Home

Cool, looking forward to it! Hopefully it's something super-catchy again~

omg this was awesome! Agreed, it's very well put-together, doesn't feel acted at all. I like how it gradually gets creepier as it goes on, and that it doesn't utilize any jump scares and stuff like that but it still manages to unsettle. Great one!

Superheroes: A Never-Ending Battle - A mini-series consisting of three hour-long episodes covering everything from the begining og the superheroes and the creators influences, until today and all the films based off superheroes. Obviously, they're trying to cover 75 years in thee hour, so there's a lot missing. But if you are like me, someone who loves superheroes, but doesn't know too much about the origins, then this should entertain you. It contains interviews with creators and artists, historians, film directors and even a couple of actors that has played superheroes (Batman and Wonder Woman) and much more. This was really good!
 
Europa Report - Deent found footage-sci-fi that's decent, but nothing more. I hate a lot of the camera effects in the film. It just gets too try-hard to be honest.
 
Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain - Great fantasy-adventure that's got a lot in common with Big Trouble in Little China aka the best film ever made, but that shouldn't be surprising as Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain was the main influence on Carpenter when he made Big Trouble in Little China. No Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountan = no BigTrouble in Little China. It's very over the top, especially on the special effects, and while some will tell you that it hasn't stood the test of time, I will have to politley disagree as the special effects are the best thing about this film together with the main actors. Crazy film, and that's in a good way.
 
The Conspiracy - Found footage-thriller/horror that actually feels original, and is very well done. Lots of cliches, but that actually helps this film a lot IMO, and it never feels as if I am watching a film with actos. It feels like a documentary, and it gets creepy as fuck. It really did put me off. Effective stuff.

yaasss slay a bit Margaret.
 
hft gratuitous shots of Kenzo's back too

八十八ヶ所巡礼 (88kasyo junrei) will release their new album "攻撃的国民的音楽" (Kougeki-teki kokumin-teki ongaku) on 2014/08/08 (like clockwork, that date! lol).
