Moe- no.
Slice of life- All the time.
Although I'm not really ashamed of it, I love 80's and 90's anime and anime music. I also love digging out anime/manga that tried to cash in on the Mon's craze from the late 90's/early 00's. Especially if they tried to do something different. Stuff like Alien 9 and Shadow Star Narutaru.

Re: Are those songs off key? (13 replies, posted in Constructive Criticism)
I wouldn't say off key, it's more like a bit chromatic. The songs don't seem to have a strong harmonic structure to deviate from. If that isn't what your friend is going for, I'd recommend that they work on their chord structure. The arps aren't strongly indicating a key for the song, which can make your melodies sound a bit random no matter what you do.

About a month ago I missed, only by a few seconds, a chance to pick up a roland SH 101 for £10 at a carboot sale. One of the most excruciating moments I've had in a while.

Same thing happened to me I said thanks for the support.
If they're not making money off my back, why should I care that someone is taking them time to showcase my music? AND fully linking back to me?

Currently reading おやすみプンプン, which just seems appropriately lost/aimless/exploratory, I guess.

Pun Pun is basically the most depressing thing you will ever read. And if you've ever suffered from depression you'll definitely relate on some level.

But that's some of the charm.
The cm.o screener rendered "I was cat" before I jumbled it a little.
I learnt that on guitar and always sing the engrish version because why not haha.

K-on has a pattern that develops with their school year so I stopped after a while.
The engrish wasn't too terrible, I was expecting way worse. The anime ending was alright, I kinda wished there was more, It felt cut short, rather than it was supposed to end like that. Haven't read the manga yet, but I'll probably do it in a few years, when the anime isn't so clear in my head.

This season I've been watching Gargantia, Aku no Hana (the manga was great), Shingeki no Kyojin, (again, manga has been amazing) and although I'm a bit behind Space Brothers has been a safe bet the whole way through.
I always go for subs, unless there's no choice, or if it's exceptional like baccano's, but I haven't found any other good ones.
As for gargantia, I've been watching it, and it's p good so far, there have been a few animation cockups, namely the episode wth all the dancing and stuff, but other than that, pretty alright. I've also been watching valvrave, due to how hilarious it is, problem is that I get Ledo confused with L-Elf, and kinda blend them into the same person. Space brothers is p good as well, although I tanked through around 35 episodes in the space of 4 days, so I haven't really watched much of it since then.
Gargantia's definitely had some serious animation issues. The dancing episode was a proper cringer. Didn't help that they went for the low hanging "HA, aren't trans people scary and weird?" fruit.

After reverse image searching the pic that ningen has as on their bandcamp page, I saw solanin and started reading that. Finished the first volume not to long ago, it's really good so far.
Solanin is great, Inio Asano is a great artist and writer. After Solanin try "What a Wonderful World", it's a collection of short stories but it has a similar bitter sweet vibe.
After that try Oyasumi Pun Pun, which is where that pic is from. I went into it expecting it to be a similar sort of life affirming, bitter sweet story of people getting by. But my god, it's one of the most depressing things I've ever read. It's still on going, but I wait for every new chapter.
She also does some horror work, but I've not really looked into it.

Most seasons I'll pick a handful and see where they take me. Usually try to get at least one slice of life in there. When everything sucks I just go back to marathoning every UC gundam series.
