Hated by Life: 7; she puts a good amount of emotion into the lyrics.

good to see you overcame all the hurdles and caught up again. anyway, i mainly picked that since it was an USAGI Production remix, essentially grouping it with the virtuareal stuff. I was mainy curious how you felt about the composition i guess, but i guess the answer is fairly nautral relative to the original. which i guess is fair considering all the other ones i've shared

Kizuna: 5.6; it was nice seeing Fukuyamaster again, but the rest of the song didn't do much for me.

two bits of trivia on that, it's the first time i've seen him use that particular model save for one time a fair while before his formal "3d debut" which was like half a year ago. i think the stream he tested it in was deleted after that even, so it's surprising it's been used again. Also, upd8 is really imploding now and there's a lot of change going on with a couple of people having suddenly formally announced their retirement, but fukuyamaster is one of the ones who is currently safe-ish. He's gone back to posting anime covers on a roughly daily basis lately, actually. None of them tend to be full versions of songs though which is why i haven't shared them.

also he did a guerilla stream last night to vent his frustration by setting a bunch of trees on fire in minecraft for an hour. that was a thing

more context on tuna awaits next time

too bad there are no captions on the last 4 there

...I doubt you intentionally placed the Jackson 5 cover as the fifth song link, but I appreciate the coincidence.

uh

well you're not totally wrong about it being the 5th, but still wrong. that was in the cover list, it appears you skipped straight to it at some point, unless you started there

the virtuareal remix album got a digital release now

also all three albums got posted on the official youtube channel now

might as well share the better and more notable ones

actually, speaking of ao... i only recently found out that i'd missed a bunch of other original songs of hers

there were a lot of ones early on

i only knew about roughly half of these prior. some of them are hilarious. most have translatable (non-auto-generated) captions

oh yeah, and there were more covers out there than i realised too

(apologies i'm overloading you on ao here but i couldn't bring myself to cut any of them now that i was reminded. at least the original songs are generally not full-length. also i did cut around half of the covers. and yes i know i'm still including at least one song you already passed mixed judgment on, i just thought the video made it important enough)

more from Izuru, huh. Well, i actually did have one more one i was considering a while back but kind of refrained from due to reasons.

back when i was checking all the pretender covers, i found one from him on a livestream

factoring in that it was, you know, live, it was pretty good imo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCh8cX9rxUc

aruran (the guy who did that one weird xmas video) is probably my favourite member of holostars but he's good too

oops i forgot about this

i nearly had my 10 finalised but then my phone died and I'm using my old one again

NEW WORLD: 5. I dunno. I like parts of it, but it runs a bit too long and eventually fades in the background... I forget I'm listening to anything at all and space out completely.

darn, i had somewhat higher hopes for that one. I guess it was something to experience in the moment, as it premiered exactly when the new year started. the default youtube live video countdown complemented it too.

It's interesting reading the dbz Kakarot message boards

There's a large amount of people with zero interest because it's not a fighting game and only has a handful of playable characters and not 100+

sadly that doesn't surprise me

dbz's rpg track record is legitimately strong already, but...

not to mention even super dragon ball z got ignored too for not having a budokai-tier roster

nop

since there's one import game on the poll i wanna mention christmas tina exists now and is pretty cool

rip hurry xmas cover

honestly i was just surprised to see it get a cover to begin with

https://youtu.be/vHmrllBV9-U

this was from a major new year's eve event called tubeout i only barely heard about before it happened. it was the biggest one held outside of hololive's big countdown stream that lasted like 10 hours and nijisanji's gigantic midnight concert that was a collab with popular actors or something. Sure it got overshadowed by them hard, but it still got like 12k viewers watching this part live

and yet, still nobody cared enough to clip it, so i did it myself

The song is the animare group's first original song, fanfare. it's a prerecorded song, but notably the version used is, as far as I know, original to the event, since it's the first time it's been used since Hinako (one of the other members) left. Actually, it might be the first time it's being used at all since animare's first anniversary streams it was unveiled at, come to think of it. I can't recall seeing them elsewhere prior in any kind of concert. Only (virtual) variety programs, game shows and competitions.

Apologies for there being so many, the new year period just saw an influx of good stuff

Since then, a few nice things have come up

Guess I'll say mine

Acceleration of SUGURI 2
100% Orange Juice
Murasaki
Murasaki Tsurugi
Digital: A Love Story
Rabi-Ribi
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
ef - the first tale.
ef - the latter tale. (i originally wanted to pick fairy tale of the two but that wasn't allowed but i figured eh why not still include them both)
Dragon Quest X

In all honesty, I've never even touched dqx myself, but I have spent a good... 50ish hours watching others play it and wanted it to get some recognition. But yeah besides digital I'm not surprised they went totally avoided. Still a shame though

Air Boundary

"The ability to separate air from anything and everything else. Combination of Separation and Air Manipulation. Variation of Elemental Boundary. Not to be confused with Air Sealing."

Well cool

Question is fight crab eligible

I picked kakarot but first thing i'm likely to play is Orangeblood I think

ry

chloe swarbrick obv

Haven't read the topic at all but I'll just say that I'd...

Lean no, based on my own experiences. I can say, yeah, I've "finished" Suguri for instance, but without use of an invincibility cheat I've never beaten stage 3. That's how i feel. savestates are a valid tool for some things, like if you use them as an actual save tool, but if it's a game designed around the idea of, you know, actually overcoming the challenges it presents the way it intends you to, and savestates and rewinds aren't explicitly on the agenda there for standard completion (romhacks actually could be an exception)... Then yeah, no way would I would say it counts

Mind you, i come into this from the viewpoint that nobody talks to me about videogames anyway so i don't really know how I'd actually view others claiming such a thing

dalmasca eastersand and and boundless ocean are the only ones I'm that happy about this time

okay sure i also voted ultima but i also don't like ultima

worst part is the wrong ff15 song won though honestly i wouldn't have minded if they both lost

Anyway my phone's touch screen is dying so i will check out the third set of matches when i am on my laptop soon tm

ok i looked at next season now

shorter impressions limiting to the ones i would watch maybe because it's big season again

Koisuru Asteroid
cute girls do cute stargazing i guess. super formulaic stuff but it looooooooks okaaaaayyyyy?~?~

Magia Record
it's not going to be good, but it's going to be worth a shot

ID:INVADED
god this is pretentious also i need to mention that thing i said in blade of the immortal remarks again oh no

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
this is only like the 5th most science saru-looking thing this season but it still seems like it'd be a quality thing so yeah

Marumaru Manul
i dunno it has cats and probably won't get subs anyway

Heya Camp
technically already started

pet
well... i saw the new PVs since last season now. This... what is going on in this show and why am i on board

Murenase! Seton Gakuen
99% chance episode 1 drop

Natsunagu!
probably won't get subs but looks worth checking out

Breakers
i don't actually know what this is so i guess i will try it

Hulaing BabiesPetit
i can't believe they're airing whatever this is

BOFURI: I Dont Want to Get Hurt, so Ill Max Out My Defense.
cute girls do trash isekai (vrmmo)

Drifting Dragons
seems alright. i'm reminded of dragon dentist but that's surely a coincidence

Plunderer
eh. hardly sold but it didn't seem bad

Nekopara
i won't watch this

Show By Rock!! Mashumairesh!!
aots (unironically it is basically locked in as my favourite)

HatenaIllusion
how is a studio called Children's Playground Entertainment making an ecchi anime legally

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard
so they made holmes of kyoto bl?

Somali and the Forest Spirit
ye

Oshi ga Budoukan Ittekuretara Shinu
the last show i can think of dedicated to idol fans specifically was million doll. thankfully, this does not seem to be million doll at all

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun
maybe an ok comedy idunno probably not my thing but i tend to forgive things like that if it's decent

A Certain Scientific Railgun T
i haven't watched railgun or index oops.

Microphone Soul Spinners: Kotodama Shoujo
SHOWROOM. Another vtuber anime are you serious? also i hate that i don't hate this

22/7
i guess this technically also counts as a vtuber anime lol, there was a 3rd one too, but that was male idols so i'm not counting it, i remembered seeing them on a streamed event a few months ago though so that was cool

Ishuzoku Reviewers
i have a friend talking about this on and off so I am making sure to try it so I can validly judge them condescendingly

In/Spectre
doesn't seem too bad. main girl doesn't feel very main girly and I'm ok with that

Dorohedoro
savage

also Ongaku seems to be a thing and i am excited about that

Vaguely finishing Anime's now so here's some minimal effort quick remarks on some of them

soma
existed

null peta
not that engaging, but I loved it a lot

blade of the immortal
it's pretty good but not as high as it was initially. also can i just say I'm getting kinda tired of hearing kenjirou tsuda's voice in everything

assassin's pride
an okay change of pace, i wish it had maintained any semblance of good production values past like episode 4 though

wrestler isekai
how did it turn out to be such a slog

cautious hero
better than wrestler isekai but still really zzzzzzzz

kabukicho sherlock
(haven't watched ep12 yet) woah that tone shift

babylon
i needed that 6 week break. i still haven't forgotten episode 7

I dropped the rest besides boardgames (and dr stone and vinland) which i stalled like 2 months ago and will try to finish off in the next few days

I overlooked askeladd, damn

I had (endro's) mao at the top of mine

wrestler mao wasn't too bad either even if the show was whatever

my first was a swablu in emerald

I can't remember if i used it or not but I decided to use one in black 2 because of that. altaria was surprisingly good with the moves it could learn then

Wixoss recap movie best recap movie

The OP and ED are both up there yes, but they're just not quite up there enough to make my top 5 and are directly lost causes when you-know-what exists

Anyway I'm going to add links for my recs besides lol business fish

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipXehesfNYI
best myth and roid, quality visuals

https://animethemes.moe/video/JoshikouseiNoMudazukai-OP1.webm
unique opening, quality lyrics. i wish this show got more attention, def putting it on comedy ballot and probably more

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mggRt6PGLw
maybe the best hidekazu tanaka op

https://animethemes.moe/video/Kemurikusa-ED1.webm
special mention to the version in episode 11 too. That was a real highlight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD4qfB2uT4o
Another best dance memesong candidate. Also Yang is totally in contention for best villain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE9KqfVRH2E
Latina is cute

https://animethemes.moe/video/CopCraftRecap-ED1.webm
Why does the regular ED even exist

The better symphogear EDs are spoiler filled so oh well, can't post those

So, is this tie here comprised of ones with 2 noms or more than that

I think 10 of mine are likewise no-shows

I can't believe fragile dreams is here thank you board 8

Also hoped digital a love story could've made it, but i guess everybody else that liked it would've picked analogue instead

On OPs/EDs, some highlights to me are

Boogiepop and a lot of other winter ones for OPs, plus stuff like Cop Craft and Wasteful Days since

On EDs... That's a harder question, but not because there haven't been good ones. Winter had the Chika dance, but also stuff like Kemurikusa's, Kemono Friends 2's second ED, all the ones in Ekoda-chan and Endro's. Spring had RobiHachi's, Summer had Symphogear XV's range of EDs, there was that one in the Cop Craft recap episode, and Business Fish's one... existed. https://youtu.be/LK64W7e75zA
Also beastars ED2 top tier and i will be sad when it doesn't place while wild side probably wins
There's a lot of competition in EDs for sure.

Final battle vs clash of sword surprise highlight

Two boxes of chocolates I can't eat
A pair of socks and two pairs of underwear, all xmas themed
A $18 desk fan (to replace the one I accidentally broke a few weeks ago)

I should've gotten myself something in hindsight

Oh yeah i got Cthulhu Saves Christmas on steam

my channels have uh 36 and... 36.

:/

okay i guess I have decided on 3

ugh
