Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket (which i just recently watched and loved) takes place at Christmas time. Not really Christmas themed, but a fun coincidence

I will check it out. Trying to get into the Christmas and holiday mood.

Your Lie in April.

To this I would add Kids on the Slope, which features jazz, and BECK, about a teenage rock band.

K-On is about a band but it's basically a shallow framing device for moe blobs to fuck around in. I was disappointed the first time watching in seeing how the music is pushed away as an inconsequential background thing for the most part, just don't go in expecting music to be the focus.

Detroit Metal City is on my watchlist, that might be more your thing.

That sounds just like an animated series that I planned on doing

As the sole mecha fan in this thread, I'll take this opportunity to once again recommend an old robot cartoon.

Macross 7 is a series about a ROCK BAND led by a COOL DUDE that controls his TRANSFORMING MECH by SHREDDING on his ELECTRIC GUITAR and defeats ALIEN VAMPIRES with THE POWER OF MUSIC. It's rad.

Are you sure that's not Sonic Underground?

Defeating alien vampires with music sounds interesting. Will have to check it out.

Me too

Haven't seen it, but Interstella 5555 is the first thing that comes to mind.

what happened with mimi kitagami (if its spelled like that), itss an anime i watched 1-3 years ago

Dammit
I saw the yandere anime but i couldn't afford it

Just saw Akira for the 1st time and I liked it... for the most part. For it's time, it must of been mind blowing and hell the animation still holds up to date, I liked the action scenes, and overall it was a fun watch. But it does get very confusing at times and just kinda messes with the flow for me.

It is very good, even to stands up today. However, the ending always disappoints me.

i am reading the ashita no joe manga and its really damn good, no wonder its so highly regarded in japan.

What has been your favorite part?

Pretty alright year though not quite as strong as 2015 was. My list favorites of this year in anime would be...

- (1) My Hero Academia
- (2) Ushio to Tora S2
- (3) Drifters
- (4) Mobile Suit Gundam: IBO S2
- (5) Re:Zero
- (6) Shokugeki no Souma: The 2nd Plate
- (7) GATE: Jieitai Kanochi Nite Kaku Tatakaeri S2
- (8) 91 Days
- (9) Konosuba
- (10) Akagami no Shirayuki-hime 2

- Hai to Gensou no Grimgar
- Arslan Senki: Fuujin Ranbu
- Erased
- Alderamin on the Sky
- Izetta: The Last Witch
- Kabnaneri of the Iron Fortress
- Dimension W
- Heavy Object
- Utawarerumono
- Sakamoto Desu ga?
- Kuromukuro
- Twin Star Exorcists

Now they might not be masterpieces but they're all enjoyable to watch depending on one's tastes. To some it might look like a long list but just to put into perspective my 2015 favorites would have twice as many shows.

New Toonami tonight with two episodes of JoJo. Should be good times.

That reminds me of Black Heaven, except it was about a middle-aged salary man who used to lead a heavy metal band. The opening theme was written and performed by John Sykes, guitarist for Whitesnake.

okay, lemme put it in your language: you don't make any animations, games, videos, art, or music

Okay. Let's get back to discussing Anime.

Toonami will probably be repeats next week for the holidays.

Is the Corpse Party anime really as fucked up as I heard?
I need to know before I watch it

I just watched Eiken
I find it funny how they tried

It's very very excessively gruesome to the point where you'll have to look away from the screen at times unless you're some sort of sociopath. If you've seen anime like Elfen Lied or similar, where the gore is excessive but weightless, where people just *pop* like blood bags, Corpse Party isn't quite like that. It's a whole lot more meaty and crunchy, and the reasonably solid voices add a lot to it. You'll be hearing a lot of people screaming in pain.

That said it's just an exercise in violence and can only go so deep. I lean back to Evangelion as an example of how characters rather than events are what make situations fucked up, the few instances of gore are not only more effectively done but have so much consequence behind them. It's the difference between saying "haha wow this is so fucked up" as you keep watching, and feeling silently dejected after the episode ends.

It's only like four episodes though so fuck it why not.

I'm watching Corpse Party right now and it's not as fucked up as I expected
