    Oh come on, mate, that's not a right thread to keep going on about it. Especially during MH's final hours 🤨

    Holly molly, your 3D art is so neat! I've myself started learning 3D modelling in Blender and implementing it to Unreal Engine. And I already can feel how much skill and software knowledge it requires! Keep it up and hope to see more of your art

    Something tells me the upcoming single will have vibes like in Uroboros or Arche. I've written an observation about that a lot of pages back, that Dir en Grey has been releasing heavier and lighter albums in turns.

    Not always though We all were binging a lot back when DSS was coming out, that's my favoutire memory from this thread! 😀

    As much as I don't really remember how exactly I discovered MH, I've been having a really good time since I joined here back in 2011, when I was 19. My best memories, aside from discussing about music were: - making a lot of threads about Japanese heavy metal - a lot of awesome conversation with users I don't see around, especially Chianti, Ronluna and Chibicco San. If you guys are still somewhere around, under a different name or not, I hope you're doing well - spectaculating a lot about Diru's "Dum Spiro Spero" (MOO meme anyone? 🤣 ) and Maximum the Hormone's "Yoshuu Fukushuu" I only feel bad, because between 2014-2018 I've kinda abandoned and even forgot about MH, I don't know why 😢 But coming back here was such a great feeling! Thank you fellow MHers once again, and let's keep the community alive at J-Rock One!
  13. Regarding the last news, as I've been on MH for nearly 10 years, and not everyone may remember me, I really wanna thank you guys for creating a wholesome community where we all could share our passion in Japanese music. Let's all go on on J-Rock One!

  14. I've counted my CD collection today. It appears I own over 220 CDs. I swear I'm gonna run out of space one day and my house is spacious xD

      Running out of space, it's every collector's worst nightmare! :panic:

      Last time I counted I was also around 220, but that was over 1 year ago... I have cd's everywhere and it looks like a mess, I envy those who have neat collection spaces ;_;

    How many of you guys are familiar with Tetsuya Kanmuri aka The Kanmuri (or stylized as THE冠)? Long story short, Tetsuya Kanmuri started in 1991, when he formed So What? After the band broke up in 2003, Kanmuri began his solo project, and on this year's April he released his 6th album named "Nippon no Heavy Metal". His style feels like a mix of Sex Machineguns and early Seikima-II with dose of theatrical drama. He often made joined lives with those two bands. Oh and remember the anime called "Detroid Metal City", pretty much a protoplast to Aggretsuko? He's the one who sang in it's opening theme 😎 I own all of his albums in physical format, so expect it in downloads soon

    In awaiting for new Hitman game. Been a huge fan of that franchise since 2003 😎
  17. Pretty much this - I myself follow Nuclear Blast release schedule and it helped me so much with discovering great bands all the time. I've seen so many metal bands, both new and old ones releasing quality albums. But I don't do that just with NB. Napalm Records and AFM also have made a lot contribution, especially the former one! My favourites from AFM include Brothers of Metal, Orden Ogan, Arion, Dynazty, Iron Savior, Shakra. And that's just the tip of the iceberg 😀
  18. New Accept album, 5th one with Mark Tornillo on vocals coming out in January. Not only catchy as hell, it does also have the feel of Blood of The Nations, which is a really good thing!

    Gyze will release their new single in January 2021, at the same time celebrating their 10th anniversary. Tracklist: Samurai Metal Voyageof the Future Oriental Symphony So far no further info, but we all can expect more over time 😉

  21. One the greatest modern day power/speed metal titans releasing their 11th album in December. And I already own all Iron Savior albums Looks like I already know what I wanna for Christmas.

    Recently I've been having a lot of appreciation for Walls of Jericho I admit I'm more fan of cleaner and more melodic sound, but there is so much charm in fierce and raw era with Kai Hansen

    Great point! When color theory and sense of aestethics are your best freinds, one can design so much adorable, colorful and eye pleasing furry characters. And I speak it as someone who graduated graphic design. Aside my fursona, I have a few OCs as well, which include a coffee coloured fox, lotus flower lynx and azure-blue Tibetan flag inspired snow leopard Not only it can look wholesome, but one you see a fursuit of such character, I can't imagine not wanting to hug it ❤️ As I'm an artist too, this helped me find some crative approach to the character design. Thank you for your thoughts and I understand The fandom is roughly 1/3 bi, 1/3 gay and other 1/3 straight. That itself is pretty curious question. I've seen various approaches, some people just are into art, some love the idea of fursuits. But from my POV since furries are in general accepting and open community (boundaries exist, but still), and autistic and LGBT+ people definetly tend to feel marginalized and alienated, they discover a fandom with like-minded people, this is what brings them in the first place. I wanna say it as someone in the autism spectrum and at one point in my life I did question my sexuality. Also I went through a lot of horrible experiences with my peers as a kid and teen, just don't wish to speak in depth about it 😕 The warm, fluffy atmosphere from the art and furcons, which me and many other furries have felt really brought a lot of light to their lives. It doesn't apply to entire fandom, but a good portion off furries joined the fandom that way, combined with love for anthro animals, which at many points we've seen in our childhood cartoons. As for the art, like I already said, I am a furry artist. What really appeals to me is how expressive it is, and the unvierse that is created behind that, which can resemble something like in Zootopia. Still, I hope I explained it in clear way Also there has been a documentary made about the furry fandom, mostly telling about it's history and what makes some people become furries. To anyone has time and interest, I highly reccommend watching it! 😁 D'awww, thank you so much 😍 Always great to hear it from different perspective. I attend to local anime cons and I always had so much respect for cosplayers. I've seen cosplayers hugging, admiring the fursuiters and taking selfies with them. Trust me, a lot of us are into anime If things go good, I do plan to commission a fursuit soon enough or make one myself with some assistance As for mass media, it is sad that they paint all furries as sexual degenerates. But on the other hand they hardly ever potrayed anything on geeky side in good light. We have yearly furry conventions, one in Gdańsk, Poland named Gdakon and we've managed to make a really nice impression on hotel staff. Same with the largest furcon in Europe - Eurofurence in Berlin (I was at 2019 edition). EDIT: Oh, and how could I forget one thing. At the furcons we make one hell of great room and dance parties. Pun very much intended - we really are party animals 😎 In the end it doesn't matter if we're anime fans, sci-fi fans or belong to any music subculture, decency 101 is still important

    On this thread I wanna share with you guys my thoughts and personal experience with a community, I am part of. Namely furries. I've discovered and joined the furry fandom in 2009/10, when I was in early high school. What has drawn me into it was the amazing art, cute fursuits and conventions/gatherings with very a friendly atmosphere. But let's start with my personal history. I'm gonna try to keep it brief. Ever since I was a kid, there was a lot of interest and appeal to me in cartoon animal characters. Growing up with cartoons such as Looney Tunes, Animaniacs and a lot of Disney Dreamworks and Don Bluth movies contributed to that a lot. Many cartoon characters, I've had a crush on were anthropomorphic animals. This all happened when the Internet wasn't nearly as popular as then. When I've accidently found DeviantArt around 2009, I've discovered a lot of gorgeous furry and non-furry art, which not only encouraged me to start drawing, but made me realize there I wasn't the only one taking interest in that particular theme The major aspect of furry fandom, I take part in is creating art, which brought me here in my first place. I've made a separate thread on MH with my art BTW Back of the topic majority of furries, depict their walking and talking animal version of an alter-ego called "a fursona", giving them a lot of personal traits. I.e. mine is a long haired red fox named Kentaro, design inspired by Japanese mythology, heavy metal and 80s/early 90s visual kei. Also the name is derived from Gargoyle guitarist. The art themes can range from modern world to fantasy, ancient times to cyberpunk, etc. Although just a simple picture of their fursonas is prefered. I also was an art vendor at Dealers Den at Polish furry con called Gdakon 2019, and this is what most of us were drawing. Another popular thing are fursuits, which is basically cosplay of a furry characters. If professionally done they can be incredibly cute and huggable Although fursuits may seem very common at first, only 15-20% of furries own a fursuit. Mostly due to price, which is caused by efforts and material buying. Now, I don't have a fursuit yet, but plan to get one in the future 😄 Aside what I've mentioned, I've personally felt very welcome in the fandom, since it's very accepting towards LGBTQ+ or people with Autism Spectrum. Both make large portion of the fandom. Also furries raised and donated a lot of money for animal shelters and as a help for Australia after the recent bushfires. But just like with any other community there is a dark side of it. The most common is over-sexualization. While I see furry porn as a follow to rule 34, no different than hentai, I strongly believe it shouldn't be a face of the fandom by any means. Something that people need to keep to themselves, unless asked for on nsfw social media accounts. Other awful parts, included cases of animal abuse, destruction of the property or creepiness in chats and conventions Now, those aren't at all inherent to the fandom, just being a piece of s**t. Luckily I witnessed people who commited such thing were being ostracized from the fandom. To put it up, yes, it is weird and unusual to a lot of people for understandable reasons, it has it's problems to fix, but that still doesn't prevent from following basic decency. Regardless everything, I have a lot to thanks to the furry culture for shaping me and it'll stay close to my heart forever ❤️ Maybe anyone else on MH is a furry as well? If you have any questions or something to discuss, I'll gladly answer Negative points are welcome too, just keep it civil.
