Music Monday – Knockin’ on the Golden Age

With all this new-fangled anime I think it’s about time to take Music Monday back to it’s roots… or at least to a period where music was a much more valuable asset to anime than it is today – where music would make a good series great and memorable. So I think it is more than appropriate to again give Yoko Kanno the spotlight (this being the umpteenth time) for her music that defined a period of anime that remains unparalleled and completely untouchable – all you composers – you Gotta Knock a Little Harder~

Heya Guys, Itsa J0kk here. Anyway time to get down to thaaa business. It’s that time of semester again. Yes, yes indeed. It is EXAM season. As this was the case, it started me thinking on the music that people play during their study sessions. I remember the amount of random music that i used to listen to and the large amount of foreign musix that i have accumulated. Anyway, I’m sure that every one is stressing about this time. So i thought this song would help people out with that isssssssue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. GOOOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAMS. ALSO NOTE EVENTS ARE OFFICIALLY NOT RUNNING. Although people may still be hanging out at those same places at those times……. Yeah basically officially events aren’t on but people may turn up anyway….

P.P.S……. I forgot what I was gonna say…

Music Monday

Ok, here’s the deal: I hate most of Macross Frontier.

I just don’t like the whole relationship triangle with spoiled ”spaceaids” diva and a selfish child with the main guy pretty much a Gary Stu.

I think only guys enjoy this series.

The only scene I really liked was when SPOILER Mikhail dies infront of Klan.

But!

What I do love about Macross Frontier are the songs played throughout the series. My personal favourites are Diamond Crevasse and Northern Cross.

Even though I wrote that short equation above, in this live version of the Nyan Nyan Medley both May’n and Megumi Nakajima shine brightly in front of their many…male fans. =.=

Also, thank god this version of the medley doesn’t have Aimo.

Discussion Point: Anime vs Manga?

If you could only pick one...

Imagine a world where the techniques of rapidly showing a sequence of images to create the illusion of motion was never made. Now imagine a world where animation became so popular that it made the static art form of manga entirely obsolete. Which world would you choose and why? Comment below!

Moyashimon Lolita Outfits

Starting off, I don’t honestly know much about the series. So here’s a quote:

“<J0kk|> moyashimon… a university drama set in the biology department where the main character can see microbes”

However, I have been following recently the Moyashimon Live Action J-Drama and discovered (with help) that Baby the Stars Shine Bright is a sponsor.

In the lolita fashion community BabyTSSB is a well established Sweet Lolita brand around the world with stores in Japan, Paris and San Francisco. With some research, I personally thanks the designers from BabyTSSB for creating Kei’s outfit for live action.

Here is an example of what Kei wears in the anime:

Frills of DOOM

And here is the actual dress, purchasable from the BabyTSSB website:

Pretty reality

Having only watched up to episode 10 of the live action, Moyashimon has been enjoyable to watch. I really enjoy watching it for this character moreso than the microbe-seeing main character. If I say anymore…SPOILERS!
