I haven't personally studied that song, but a lot of it really comes down to the fact that your brain is wired to perceive specific frequencies put together with a response of endorphins. AoT music obviously hits that sweet spot as far as your aural perception goes. Beyond that there's a lot of relations to your association with the music too. Maybe you even get different visual cues when you hear the music that are subliminal.
Part of some studies are figuring out why people have any preferences/tastes at all, lol. No two people can actually hear the song the same because everybody's perception of sound is slightly different from another people because you straight-up are not physiologically someone else. There are studies being done that record brain waves and people's responses to music that are ongoing even today.
In the case of REVO though, the dude is just a good composer that has a really nice handle on pacing, instrumentation, orchestration, and phrase structures. I could probably go on about the way he shapes his music, or why orchestrating live winds with traditional rock setups is a good idea and how they intertwine, but I will spare you the boring technical stuff with words I would have to teach you. I don't feel like doing granular analysis right now lol
I always talk about composers who are really great with jazz theory too, like NARASAKI who did the Hanamaru Kindergarten OP or the Sekai Seifuku OP.

Yeah that was terrible even before the complete botchery of music history, with it probably the worst episode of the show by far

Vividred Operation - 9
AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE HAPPENED IN THIS EPISODE.
An episode like this would have been acceptable if this were a longer show, but it's not! There's only three more episodes left and this episode was nothing but :sdburton. CAN WE GET BACK TO THE MAIN STORY PLEASE?!? IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

Doctor Bear If I wanted to know what love is, is it theoretically or statistically possible that somebody, who does not need to be in the immediate vicinity or be from the same country, could show me?
This show is targeting an audience who craves a different sort of plot than you.
I know I asked if you guys could post more but that was overkill.
Need that full trailer soon though.
I'm glad there's at least someone else still posting about the show who really likes it. Still amazed that it went from an almost certain brush-off for me to competing for the top spot of the season.Haikyu - Episode 8
I remember early on in the series I commented that the show sort of felt like X-men, except with high school volleyball instead of mutants. This episode totally reminded me of that again. They introduce more existing members of the team, as well as problems within the club, everyone has their own special ability, the teacher tries to recruit a coach who doesn't want the job, etc. It really feels like the next couple of episodes will be about getting everyone back together to form a complete team. Shonen to the max, but I'm loving every moment of it.
Yep, pretty much. Another one of those series that needed more time to work with its premise.
Looking and sounding good indeed. Really excited to see GGO finally.
Need that full trailer soon though.
O-Only if you would be g-gentle with them.

Blade and Soul - 09
This ....
THIS WAS A GOOD EPISODE
They managed to do an episode that was good ?
MINDBLOWN
They managed to make an episode with good animation from start to finish ?
They managed to make an episode intresting , with a good sub plot and a worthy twist ?
They ACTUALLY managed to make me enjoy a blade and soul episode ?
Did they use magic ? a sacrifice to the god of anime ?
No . The answer is simple.
They got rid of the normal sub plot and they gave alka emotions !!!
That's right after 8 episodes , in this one , alka gain emotions and what a set of emotions ! Confusion , hope , hapiness , despair ..oh that despair felt good...it felt so good.
Alka finally have a legitimate reason to travel, alka finally is worth seeing in action .it's finally worth seeing what choices she will make down the road and how she would react to those.
The backstory of the proprietress wasn't bad. It was certainly fast but it got the point across .. That moment when alka realised that she was in a bad spot was priceless.
That reveal and that fight wasn't much but damn it felt good.
The heroine of this show is finally human and teh show get so much better because of it. too bad the body count still increased but here it make the following events much more fun to see.
If they manage to keep this up , Blade and soul won't be a trainwreck ! They have a decent chance to do a worthy finale because of it.

Then why did they set up all this mystery? Why'd they have to make a premise that was actually somewhat intriguing and not expand on it?!?
No. They tried to go half-and-half and squeeze it in all at once, and it's not working out with the amount of episodes this show has.
No Game No Life 8
This show keeps getting better with each episode, be it for the comedy or references but also for certain plot choices. I really liked the way the episode ended. The title for the episode fit perfectly.
Frozen
What a beautiful movie. Bought it a couple days ago and watched it yesterday. The scene where Elsa builds the castle is so damn beautiful and the little twist at the end came right as I had lost any suspicion for it
.
I wish it lasted a bit longer though, the see a bit more bonding between the two sisters.

I was sure the prince would turn out to be an asshole but as it went on and it looked like he was a good guy through and through I had given up and them wham, he turns into an asshole

You guys kind of make me sad i dropped No Game after the first episode, but the loli fanservice was just bleh.

Question:
So Jojo has like 8 parts? And Part 3 is being animated now, do I watch the 1st 2?
EDIT:The fanservice is a bit extreme but Code Geass also had plenty of fanservice and was still pretty damn good. NGNL is also pretty damn good.

You don't need to if you're only interested in Part 3, but the other two parts are hilarious. I actually like them more than what we've seen of Part 3 so far.
You should watch the first season first, which is the first two. As someone who has read the entire series I don't think 1 and 2 are as good as 3, though some will disagree, but they're still really entertaining and do set up some character stuff for part 3. If you've got the time to watch the extra 26 episodes, do it.
The first one is kinda neat...
What about our weekly dose of INCEST APOLOGISTS?

I would advise you watch the first Season which covers part 1 and 2.
It's not 100% needed, but it's 100% recommended.
Plot in the MLP sense, I'm guessing.
Whaaat? Linda makes me laugh routinely.
I need to go home and watch animu, I Beethoven a bad day.
I think it's the voice. I realize it's intentional though.
I'm at the episode where they're stay Mort's place and I'm at the part where the kids are trying to cremate Bob.

This reminds me of something fitting.
This reminds me of something fitting.
Just remember that Tensai is the best and the rest doesnt matter.
I love this show to death but the panty shots and such are definitely unwarranted. The show still remains cute but cautiously so.
Ill check it out later thanks for the link!
Oh you have no idea whats coming up then. This show hasnt really begun to show you how fucked up it can get.
How much do these cost? Ive been wanting a drawing tablet that displays the drawing on screen, because those off screen ones just confuse me and I cant get used to the disconnect.
Theres a reason I call you AWESOMEBEAR!
Perhaps this is the reason why I prefer Precure Memory over Tomorrow song. SOmething in it triggers me differently, although I very much enjoy Tomorrow Song and everybody thinks Im crazy (well I mean they already do)
Frozen is a really good movie. It definitely left its mark on people as one of the betteR disney productions and of course that song. I think it has so far grossed #5 all time at the box office worldwide. Absolutely phenomenal success story.
BUT WHAT KIND OF SHOW IS IT? IM DISAPPOINTED>

Pajama Tensai was cute. If your cast is filled with no good people, it doesn't really make the final antagonist all that unique

For a story about a family of gods, this show feels largely down to earth. There's an intact, loving family, which is giving me similar vibes to what I've seen of Karin and shows of its ilk. That seems to be a recurring trend for little sisters that only shows up in things like this. Anju Maaka, Meme in this show and Mero in Sankarea are all cast in the same mold. Not a lot has happened in four episodes, because more than anything, the show looks to be rooted in a love triangle.
I accidentally spoiled myself on what Kumiko's deal is, but that's not going to affect what I saw in the first four episodes. In that Tenko is clearly the best girl. She's energetic, she has Ami Koshimizu as her voice, that cute way she lets out steam when she gets embarrassed. She's some sort of cross between a childhood friend, a tsundere and a maid (or guardian angel as they call it here), which does stand out.
For the "god" aspect of the family, the show uses some Greco-Roman imagery in the OP, but the family themselves don't appear to be aligned to any particular religion. They have a guardian angel in their family that takes after the ubiquitous "winged humanoid" depiction, yet the mother is named Venus (complete with Birth of... pose reference) and I'm pretty sure they'll get some Shinto in there if they can. I might be looking too deep into the theology of a romance-based light novel, but that's what makes it fun.
Also speaking of the gods of antiquity, Samataro's mom mentioned she fell in love with her husband because he manipulated her emotions, in the literal sense. And Meme and Misa have no compulsions about doing that to random bystanders in the pool episode and to Kumiko (in the three legged race). I thought that was his dad's thing because he was a Zeus analogue, but all gods consider human emotions something fun to freely manipulate. It plays it for comedy, but that's one surefire way to establish that they don't really care for us mortals.
I like the OP - which is good, because variations of it are used a lot through the show - and the ED is alright. Tomorrow's episodes also have some good names among them. Yasuko Kobayashi and Reiko Yoshida. Neat.
Also, that whole "I wish to be human" sequence ended up feeling like a weird dream.

Are people asking for me to bring back the Clannad Challenge? Because I am totally willing to bring that back.
Yup. No magic tree. Though that would've been cool.
Clannad After Story is so good.
They aren't even trying to hide the influence anymore.
If that's actually a screenshot from Wixoss, I'm almost inclined to call it straight-up plagiarism at this point. With incest to boot.

Basically, the challenge is that you are assigned only four jobs, one from each crystal. You must use only those jobs, and you must have at least one of each job in your party as soon as you get it.

By "some" I basically mean "one". If ANN has cool guests it's worth listening too as well.
