Darkrai is a Pokemon

Same energy though.

Guys named Steve right now:

IMAliyu:
My favourite band is a relatively unknown one I randomly discovered on bandcamp.

'Stoplights' their style is post-metal and a bit of shoegaze. The album that got me into them was "We are all atomic" with only 4 tracks that transitions into the next seamlessly. With each track oscillating in style between drone metal to sludge.
Though my favourite track from them is their cover of "All I need" by Radiohead.

I will definitely check these guys out. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard also did track blending in Nonagon Infinity. Here, the 9th and final track of the album also loops back into the first track creating some sort of infinite loop. It's a Garage/Psych rock album.

IMAliyu:
I don't consider myself a metalhead as well, I just like exploring different genres of music.

Yeah, me too. These days though, hip hop and pop have completely dominated the music scene. Now, I don't have any issue with hip hop but when you can't even find decent indie rock or eurodance bops on Fifa you know there's a problem. It's all hip hop and grime these days.

IMAliyu:
Same.
I've been getting into metal recently.
What opened my mind to the metal genre was Doom 2016 game soundtracks.
And how that soundtracks was somehow responsible for helping me study and pass a few exams last year.

I won't call myself metalhead but I've listened to few metal albums. Usually when rock bands I like try to do something new.

Ghost is a good gateway into the genre. They're more into 80s era glam metal than the heavy metal we see today. In fact, not every metalhead actually considers them a metal band. Expect lot's of references to the occult from them. My favorite album of theirs is Prequelle.

Infest the Rats' Nest by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is a good thrash metal album. While they are normally make psychedelic rock, this was a very good attempt at metal.

Portal of I by Ne Obliviscaris is a beautiful progressive metal album. I heard from a redditor that a song from the album was actually studied in one of his university classes. Every song is like an orchestral piece with electric guitars and death growls. However, patience is required to listen to this since every song is like 10 minutes long.

I know this is totally random but doesn't Mei Mei from Jujutsu Kaisen kinda look like Darkrai?

Baddestguyp:
Yu Yu Hakusho...still can't get over this anime...
Love the characters so much

From the same guy that wrote Hunter x Hunter. Yu Yu Hakusho is definitely on my anime bucket list.

MrReeseG:
Lemme guess

The song at the ending of Jujutsu Kaisen?

I haven't actually started watching Jujutsu Kaisen since I remember it having a bumpy start in the manga.

donwizzy7:
funny lie! That u dont vibe to anime music..and u claim to be an anime lover.....oga rephrase your grammar joooorrrrr!

Is true though. I can count the number of anime with opening or ending themes that are remarkable to me in any way. Most of them are just basic j-pop and I'm not a big fan of mainstream pop.

There are some that I like but those ones are usually exceptions that don't sound like normal anime music.

Given the sheer number of anime I've watched, I can't say I'm a fan anime music. Maybe I just dislike the fact that a lot of then don't fit the vibe of the show.

randomShek:
They went from 100% cuteness in OP to max insanity in ED. Turns out there was a second ED that was never used - makes me wonder if the writer or director is a metalhead.

This is actually also pretty good. There's definitely a metalhead somewhere behind the scenes though.

Metal gets waaay too much of a bad reputation, I'm not a metalhead but I listen to a few metal bands and it's actually a rich and diverse genre.

Tabasco23:
I love the song, but I'm saying the lyrics is awful. They were calling popular girls whores that they should fucking die

Yeah I know. I was actually quoting a line from the translated lyrics. The lyrics aren't too out of place for a metal song.

Tabasco23:
have you seen the lyrics, it's awful

Fvck. This. Shiiiit!

I love that song. Especially the part where Hanako's seiyuu is sperging out after the second chorus.

I don't usually vibe to anime music but that song is one of my exceptions.

Kaycee7:
Sports Climbing really is one of the best sports out there.

I enjoy staring at the nice, plump technique they use when they climb.

NoonMasamune:
Care to enlighten me on how it is so?

The developers of the game, MiHoYo are Chinese-based. This means that they have to follow Chinese censorship laws which prohibits anything that "threatens Chinese unity". Genshin Impact is banning words like Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

Pisses me off that China is trying to push their agenda using weeb culture.

NoonMasamune:
Playing gacha tames in Nigeria is pure torture

Genshin Impact is just a Chinese propaganda front disguised as a gacha game. If you're going to play gacha games please don't support the ccp machine

CapedBaldy:
I don't think so. Lawliet isn't the centre of the show. It was still dope after him.

White-haired shota and femboy can't hold a candle to Lawliet. The show took a nosedive once he moved to Bleach.

CapedBaldy:
Na lie. It's awesome from start to finish!

Are we going to act like Near wasn't basically omniscient the way he was able to deduce things from nowhere?

BlackManta:
Thanks

But your suggestions doesn't have to be like AOT or Naruto, I just need high quality great anime.

It doesn't matter if it is action, drama, sci-fi, romance or whatever.
It just has be to super good like AOT.

Thanks again....

Anyone seen Death Note here?

I stumbled upon it on Imdb and the reviews and 9/10 high rating is tempting me.

Is Death Note really that good?

Death Note starts off as one of the best anime of all time. The first few episodes are incredible. Then they introduce a character called Misa and it drops in quality but still remains a good anime. Then episode 25 happens and it's all downhill from there.

Still a good watch, though.

donwizzy7:
well, maybe wrong choice of words....what I mean is that I installed some stuffs (addons) on my browser....ads & popups are blocked...and unnecesarily large-sized images are blocked...where needed javascripts too are blocked....i donot spend up to 40seconds on any soulreaperzone webpages!

I know what you mean. I was asking for the specific adblockers and settings you're running.

donwizzy7:
have defeated their ads mechanism since....infact i sometimes prefer to download episodes of soul land season 2 from there.

How do you defeat ads?

Jigokuraku is awesome...I've been holding my breath waiting for an anime announcement (hopefully it happens in this December's jump festa) and also hoping not to get a shitty adaptation that'll make the manga even more overlooked...
PS: i see you just got past a really hyped moment, well it keeps getting better so look forward to the next 50+ chapters...

I'm also hoping for an anime announcement. However, I heard on reddit that because it is free to read on Jump's website, volume sales have taken a hit. Making an anime adaptation unlikely.

I can't confirm how true this is, though.

I see a lot of love for Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen on this board and of course it's well-deserved. Chainsaw Man is edgy and unpredictable and Jujutsu Kaisen is consistently unique in its execution of established shōnen tropes.

But what about Jump+'s Jigokuraku? I'm of the opinion that this manga is criminally overlooked.

Jigokuraku follows the story of 12? (I'm no longer sure of the number) condemned criminals in feudal Japan who are each paired with an asaemon (executioner) and tasked to travel to a strange island in order to find the elixir of life in exchange for their freedom. All previous expeditions to the island have failed, with the voyagers either never coming back or coming back as corpses that have been partially transformed into trees.

Our characters arrive on this island of horrors and are greeted by all sorts of mysterious monsters and creatures. The reader slowly learns more about the island along with the different groups as they discover more about the world around them. We slowly learn more about the characters and their motivations as the story goes on. It's worth noting that every character is treated with some level of care.

However, that doesn't mean that this manga is afraid of dropping bodies. Established characters are picked off left and right. Save for a few main characters, nobody seems safe from death and the fights have consequences.

Not to knock on Chainsaw Man but unlike Chainsaw Man, Jigokuraku generally doesn't use character deaths for shock value (not that there's anything wrong with shock value). Character deaths are used to both conclude the arcs of the characters getting killed off and to advance the arcs of their friends and allies by creating new motivations.

I'm about 45 chapters in and it's pretty dope. U definitely recommend it.

New anime.... Witch Chronicles... Decent enough first episode

Grown Witch Academia

Tabasco23:
I don't see an anime happening this year cause well 2020 is coming to an end but it might get one next year, but have you read mashle

Next year is definitely the earliest time for a Chainsaw Man anime.

I haven't heard about Mashle before, is it good?

Tabasco23:
Does anyone know chainsaw man, if not y'all should read the manga it's sick

Chainsaw Man is dope. However, the current arc isn't really my speed. Turns out that killing off beloved characters in an anti-climatic manner can hurt the quality of your manga especially when a lot of the entertainment value is derived their banter.

Still though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an anime announcement. I really believe that a Chainsaw Man anime will be incredible.

Press F to pay respects.

Edit: Since the screenshot was heavily compressed by nairaland. HorribleSubs has shut down, this is the biggest anime subtitle group on the high seas. Other fansub groups exist but is a big blow to the community.

I have always been interested in the age-old prestigious art of sports climbing

Yeah sure, it's the climbing you're interested in.

Never knew a thing about basketball, learnt all through kuroko no basket

Like how to dribble people using Geass?

Mark23:
Kobeni's contract is one of the many mysteries in Chain saw man.

I'm beginning to get tired of the manga tbh. Maybe I should just leave it for a while and come back to binge it cos right now, I have no clue what has been going on in the last 10 chapters or so.

Ever since that gun devil appeared things have been moving so damn fast (yes they slowed down for a chapter or two, but still).
I still don't understand why you-know-who and you-know-who died - or why they had to die in the first place.

Everything is so confusing and it gets even more so with each chapter.
I wish the author would slow down for a second and explain things better.

I guess it's a good idea to pace yourself when the author is on full kill-'em-all mode.
