The ~dere Thread; but mostly the tsun (& never the yan) (w/some anime) CHECK 1st POST

My MAL is always up to date. Too bad the signature banner hasn't worked for over a month >.>

 

[Lord Viper]

I have to say it's really hard to decide which series is the second best in Winter, between Haganai NEXT or Mondaiji-tachi. It would had been Haganai NEXT if it wasn't for that ending... minus the ending least the last episode was great. Mondaiji-tachi was short, but I did like every episode, and most of the lead characters. Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited might be the most underrated anime in Winter. ★

...

mermaid melody pichi pichi pitch?

oh **** LOL. ok I guess I was just thinking Seto no Hanayome

but um anyway I hope everyone watches the matches from next month's Gameclucks tournament cuz me and Sion are gonna be teaming <3 <3 <3

 

[Perfect Chaos]

I thought Mondaiji was decent. It was enjoyable, but I don't think it's amazing.
And I actually like the ending of Haganai NEXT. I was expecting it to end in a cliffhanger, though, since I was expecting it to cover up to the end of volume 8 and volume 9 was just released a few days ago. So it's just them trying to get more people to continue the story by buying the light novels.

 

[Xyzz]

I (like most of the time) completely agree with PC... Mondaiji was pretty fun but not really anything special. I do definitely look forward to the hopefully happening 2nd season though

 

[Lord Viper]

I guess I'm one of a few that really likes Mondaiji-tachi then. =P ★

That being said, Winter wasn't too bad, I think Spring will do much better. ★

so any of you guys listen to East New Sound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YViljYZCr0Q

because this song is ****ing godlike

 

[Xyzz]

I didn't get around to check out EastNewSound till now, but that song sounds like I'll have to do so immediately
Also: Being a love-colored master spark arrange of course it's godlike :D ("Final Maiden's Master Capriccio Spark" and "Sparking" happen to be my most played tracks of dbu music and IRON ATTACK! respectively )

(super in love with that track, thanks a lot Toph!)

 

[omgwtfToph]

yuuup!

All the uploads on that channel go up to like 1080p too and have super amazing PVs it's pretty awesome :D

 

[Sion]

i used to listen to ENS, but i stopped at around their 8th album or so

i only listen to a few electronic music artists and a lot of metal based music for toho

 

[-Rei-]

i'm actually 2 eps behind haganai now

i guess i might watch it tonight

idk

 

[G U R U]

If Mondaiji only has that one season, it was average. If it gets another season however, could be VERY good.

Kotoura-san had a nice touching ending. Gets a 9/10 for me.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Took me the whole run of the Psycho Pass to realize that Kougami was voiced by Tomokazu Seki. He just had to shout.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Almost new season and still no comp :/

 

[omgwtfToph]

i only listen to a few electronic music artists and a lot of metal based music for toho

BLANKFIELD is the ****

 

[Sion]

thank you toph

blankfield is godlike

 

[-Rei-]

does asianaussie still post here?

if you do bro

go check out age's website today

it's pretty gdlk

 

[omgwtfToph]

Sion what other touhou metal etc do you recommend? I know of like, ui-70/demetori... crow's claw... uhh yeah lol.

 

[Sion]

those are the really good metal circles, there are a few others, but not my taste. it depends on what kind of metal you want really.

i actually dive a bit deeper into metal with metalcore, post hardcore, melodeath, etc

circles like undead corporation, minstrel, foreground eclipse, draw the emotional and thousand leaves are among my favorites

i also love symphonic/power metal from unlucky morpheus, 5150 and imperial circus dead decadence

the weird thing about me is taht i can only listen to female vocalists, with a few rare exceptions

 

[omgwtfToph]

sick. I'll check all of those groups out.

anyway, I'm a few days late, but I finished Tamako Market.

Spoiler

what a heartwarming ending haha. This show made me think a lot about the merits of family and constancy, vs. the prospects of new beginnings. Especially since, I've lived in a lot of different places over the course of my life, and I don't have a single place I really consider "home." And I'd always thought that I'd never want to settle down, and that I'd like to continue moving around. But especially towards the end of Tamako Market, I got to see things from the other perspective too. Made me realize that having a place to call home must be nice.

 

[Xyzz]

In addition to some of the things Sion posted (I don't know all of them, so I obviously can't comment on some of them :D) I'd like to recommend MyonMyon and IRON ATTACK! as well

 

[Sion]

i used to like iron attack a bunch until they acquired that vocalist

now i have to find his chino's insturmentals

 

[Xyzz]

Which one? :D
I recall at least three different people in addition to himself doing vocals at different points in time. And I'm nowhere near having heard the entire discography (:

Also: I gave Undead Corporation a listen (or 50 to be more precise :D) ... I actually like them, which is pretty rare for a metalcore band.


Oh, and happy Cirno Postcount to me! :D

 

[Zwarm]

As much as I love metal, I don't really like anime/touhou metal that much, or at least what I've heard. Probably because I'm a progressive death metal kinda guy and anime metal is much more power metalish sounding to me.

I do really like UI-70 though.

 

[omgwtfToph]

Zwarm you should link me to some progressive death metal.

Also I specifically like Blankfield because they're not as power metalish as most other groups.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Are you guys watching Death Note or something?

 

[Xyzz]

@Toph:
Go listen to Edge Of Sanity (specifically the Crimson album) and Lykathea Aflame. Imho the very best the genre has to offer (and totally worth dedicating my 1000th post to :D).

 

[Zwarm]

Those are both great bands to listen to, though I prefer Crimson II over Crimson, since I like how much more melodic Crimson II is.

Listen to Opeth, namely Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Still Life, or Watershed. Though Opeth is my favorite band and I love all of their albums haha.
Mastodon is also really good, though they've grown away from death metal vocals and have more clean vocals, but the music is still solid.
Dan Swano's Moontower album is also really solid, he's the lead singer from Edge of Sanity. In Vain's The Latter Rain. Katatonia's Brave Murder Day (when lead singer of Opeth, Mikael Akerfeldt was their lead singer). The Faceless' Akeldama if you're into more technical metal. I also love every single Daylight Dies and Swallow the Sun album, but those are more doom metal which is a little slower

And yeah besides that I listen to more black metal like Abigail Williams, but they have some metalcore roots in their early albums. Legends EP and In the Shadow of A Thousand Suns are my favorite, give them a try too to see if you're into that sorta music too.

 

[Teczer0]

Sigh, almost caught up to the Hayate manga.

I'll probably be up to date with it by tomorrow. Its kind of sad, reading a bunch at a time was really fun. Now I have to wait for new chapters :<

 

[Minato]

The wait will make you realize how underwhelming the Hayate manga is at the moment.

 

[Teczer0]

Don't say that, I really like the manga atm :<

Are we starting Santa Detective Conan soon? :3

 

[Minato]

Golden Week arc was too good though. And yes, we should both read Conan.

 

[Teczer0]

xD it was, really fun.

And some of the most interesting with the Kings stone ordeal.

But yea, I'll probably be caught up with Hayate tomorrow and gonna start Conan and probably keep reading Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne on thursday :3

 

[Minato]

 

[Teczer0]

God dammit don't beat me to it >:[

I'm looking forward to conan because then I can actually be this

 

[Sion]

[Teczer0]

Is she jelly?

Is she amused?

Who knows.

 

[Sion]

maybe both

but i know i'm clearly outmatched in the picture/gif war

 

[Teczer0]

And then, I'm caught up with the Hayate manga.

*sigh*

Good times though.

 

[G U R U]

Finished watching the rest of Fairy Tail. So sad it's over. Long Live Fairy Tail!!!
