See You Next Deculture

I sense an unsurprisingly boring holidays ahead.
Nth to do nth to do nth to do nth to do...

The only thing ive been up to is watching anime.
One Piece that is.
200+ more episodes to catch up with.
Kind of the perfect anime to be watching rite now.

Came across this scene just now.



super hilarious considering he's actually
a straightforward and serious character.
Well, maybe not that serious.
Still it was the best laugh of the day.

Also been watching Macross Frontier.
Which is probably the best series im following rite now.
I nvr want it to end ;_;
It mixes action with music so well,
i feel nth before or after it can match its style.
Not to mention its superior graphics and animation.

Its basically about humans whereby in the future
we leave Earth in colonies
to find new places to settle down at.
Macross Frontier colony though, clashes with the
Vajra alien race in the middle of the universe
and is in the midst of war.

Still, a love triangle takes place between
the 3 main characters. (2 girls 1 guy).

Both girls are phenomenal singers.

I would really pay to go for a Sheryl Nome live concert.
Though some would prefer Ranka Lee.



one of Sheryl's performances early into the series.
notice how they coincide the concert with the battle.
Btw, Jap songs dun really have nice English translations.
For some reason.



and Ranka Lee's surprise first live concert.
And here they took the concert to the battle itself.
Ranka's a more light hearted singer as compared
to the soulful Sheryl.
But the second song is the emotional special one.

Singing is a big theme for the story
cuz apparently Ranka's song has
a special ability to tame the
enemy Vajras (the things they're fighting in the earlier vid)
and her song is used as a "weapon" for the
survival of the human race,
though all she wants to do is to sing for Alto (main character)

Sheryl seemingly has similar abilities,
though its not been revealed to what extent.

Yea they both like Alto
and since pink haired girls prove to be "moe" for me,
i support Sheryl!!



And here's their duet in the OP.
The video can be an eyesore
so watch in HQ at YouTube if u prefer.
I think Ranka's voice suits this song better

Highly recommended to all anime watchers
who have not embraced this series yet.

Wonder if humans will leave Earth in colonies in the future..
See you next deculture!~
