19. Diao Ye Zong - The Second Performance: Curse Deity Well I love this circle so I'm tempted to just give an 11 and be done with it. I really like that approach of storytelling they have with their music. This song itself in particular might not be one of my favorites but I love the combo of sounding kinda innocent for a bit and then bringing in some dark chord in there. And it does have a great rhythm to it, very jumpy you could say. Like a frog. Yeah. Ah what the hell, 10/10 20. C-CLAYS - The moon which was swallowed to a wolf Suika jumpscare. Gonna agree with Drunken here in that the energy is pretty much consistent all throughout, and so there's a lack of punch. I know it's not something noteworthy anymore but idk, the mixing of traditional instruments with synth sounds still gets to me a bit. It's good background noise, 7/10 21. UNDEAD CORPORATION - Kushinada-hime Dude got got by the previous Suika jumpscare. Undead Corp is a circle I don't listen to a lot, despite me usually being on the side of metal. Maybe that needs to change. That said this song in particular don't really do much for me, to the point where I don't really know what to say about it. It's nice, it flows well, it does what it needs to do and then it ends, and that's fine. 7/10 Sorry for the delay again, busy with stuff that I shouldn't plug in this thread.

Sorry again, been busy with mine projects. Anyways double time. 13. EastNewSound - Cardiac Sound Haven't heard this circle in a while. I don't really know what to make of this, it's fine? Doesn't really go many places which, I'm going to assume is just a quirk of the genre, but it's not something I particularly appreciate. As everyone else has said, it sure is an arrangement. 6/10 14. MA.S ATTACK - Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's Kappa Oh god 10 minutes what do you mean 10 minutes. I already gave my thoughts on ambient on the previous piece by this circle, but while that song had a mood I really enjoyed along some stuff on it to keep interesting, if a bit repetitive, there's... not much going on here. Again though, probably a quirk of the genre that's not really resonating with me. 5/10 15. Noah - The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky Alright, not the genre I was expecting for this song. This is a bit more my realm, what do you mean I'm biased. Starts out really strong and then switches to the acoustic guitar for a softer sound, and I really really love the mix of acoustic and electric guitar in songs. Big fan of the build up of instruments in the background as it nears the end, though I feel that guitar solo came a bit too early. It's good! It's energetic! It's fun! 8/10 16. Yoshida Mirai Project - とこしえの黄泉 -- Pola Oh this is weird, I like it. Kinda of an odd song pick for an arrangement but it works really well here. That messy distorted sound in the background along with the chanting, before the melody comes in with that soft synth. It's really good. Obviously not something you'd particularly listen to a lot, but it's a very good experience nonetheless. 7/10 17. Shinra-Bansho - Song of Companion I feel Shinra-Bansho has the same quirk as Akatsuki in which the songs they publicize a lot are kinda bland and samey, but you can actually find some interesting stuff if you dig into their library. Idk, I personally love the original theme here and this arrangement does great at keeping that folksy vibe and enhancing it. Them flutes, man. 8/10 18. GET IN THE RING - ⑨melodies GET IN THE RING really does not settle on any genre, does it. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but I've definitely never heard something like this from them so, goes to show how much I know. Anyways, very pretty arrange and not what I was expecting when I saw the title. I have a bit of a hard time recognizing the originals in here but that's not really a problem. There's nothing particularly interesting about it but, it was a good listen nonetheless. 6/10

10. C-CLAYS - Rest in Dark Night I'm with Ken here in that I always forget about Oriental Dark Flight. Well maybe not that I forget about it, just that it's definitely the Marisa theme I like the least. But this is a fun arrangement nonetheless, I like how it moves from the very strong beat into something more melodic. It kinda reminds me of something from Plants vs. Zombies for some reason lol, it has a similar vibe. I like it! 8/10 11. Virus Key - 氷精たちの踊り Oh more classical stuff. I don't really know enough to say anything meaningful about it, other than it was nice and it surprisingly fits Cirno's character very well. Waltzes are nice. Still not something I'd really seek out. 6/10 12. O-Life Japan - Dawn Sky of the Myouren Temple A somewhat calm arrangement mostly based off that one part of Byakuren's theme huh. It feels like it tries to paint a picture, like I can see this going along a scene of the Myouren peeps going about their day, or morning as the title suggests. I like all the different directions it goes to, really makes it feel like a journey. Again not something particularly replayable, and a tad too upbeat for my taste (re: major key), but still I enjoyed it from beginning to end. 7/10

been buuuuuusy and i forgor sorry 7. Tsubaki - Artemis Wept Ohhhh... screamo. It's something that I definitely need to be in the mood for, but I generally like it. Also really liked the intro building up to it, and the bells ringing throughout most of the songs are lovely. There's a nice contrast between the harsher, raw parts and the more melodic ones, it's really nice. Why is it so compressed though? It brings down the impact of it so much. 6/10 8. Lycoris - Hammersmith in the Sky Found this one by chance a while ago. Greenwich in the Sky is a song I really really like, and most arrangements I heard manage to capture the energy of the original and build upon it. Including this one of course, I love it. The phased guitars, the solos, that organ god that organ mmMm. It's a style that fits really well with the song. Dad rock 10/10 9. MA's ATTACK - Hartmann's Youkai Girl "Sounds like something from a videogame", I was gonna say but I guess that's the point. Not VGM specifically but, I mean, ambient. Pretty interesting stuff, I kinda dig it tbh, though definitely not something you'd put on your playlist. I think if you remove that humming synth in the background you actually got a pretty chill beat in there. There's someone behind me 7/10 I'll be on time for this round for sure

wooaoaaoao really late for this one 4. Silver Forest - Keep the Faith OH that Silver Forest, never listened to their other stuff. It's nice, I actually really like that style of mixing vocals, but aside from that there's not much going on really, just a faithful arrange of the original no pun intended. And you know? Sometimes that's good enough. 7/10 5. IRON ATTACK! - Sturm und Drang Is it trying to emulate Rhapsody of Fire? Because if so that's actually really fucking good, down to the vocals. I think IRON ATTACK does that a lot iirc, I need to listen to more of their stuff some day. Anyways I'm a sucker for power metal so, 9/10 6. Akatsuki Records - Gray Zone stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks... I'm still not over my akatsuki burnout but I actually really like this style. I honestly think Stack shines more in slower arrangements like this, though I really really wish there was some more space for the music. Those in-between parts where she just keeps going mm, don't like that. 6/10

As a fellow Argentine I... should be more interested in soccer. The world cup was nice though That aside I played this game more times than anyone should and it really is that great. Coincidentally, I'm also working on a video on it as sort of a world cup promise so, that will be up soon tm.

Happy almost new year. New Demetori just dropped

Alright here we go 1. KISIDA KYODAN & THE AKEBOSI ROCKETS - Beautiful Diver Kishida is I think one of the first music groups I found, completely by accident. Still love them, really big fan of the tone they go for with the drums and guitars, and ofc ichigo's vocals are so damn good. I think they really shine in more laid back songs like this. Also A never before seen world of nightmares is a favorite of mine so this was an easy pick. ONSEN PROJECT has an acoustic version of this, also sung by ichigo (sneaks in a 4th entry) Anyways, 9/10 2. Boga - The Doll Maker of Bucuresti (EoSD Arrange) Oh shit Boga. Always loved the EoSD/DiPP style with the detuned instruments, I wish ZUN had done more of it. But this dude really nails that style so I guess it's as close as we'll get. Though there's really not much more to this one than what the original already brings, and it doesn't help that The Doll Maker of Bucuresti always gets overshadowed by Alice's actual theme for me I'm sorry. 7/10 3. TATAMI STUGIWO - Dance of the Poisoned Candy mmhm, interesting combo. I saw the name and the "christmas" in the title and expected it to be just Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and then Medicine's theme kicks in and I'm like "oh shit here we go". It's neat, I don't know what else to say about it. Mixing in the melodies of Yuuka and Komachi's theme in there is interesting, reminded me I need to go re-read PoFV stuff at some point. Had to turn down the volume for that last part, I don't know if it's Youtube compression or if it's actually compressed to shit but, ow. 7/10

Ohhh shid he's finally doing it the madman. Definitely will be joining in again, last time was fun.

Yet. Watch Out.

She's always pretty wacky whenever she appears, outside of her ability (see CoLA 4-5). But I've held this belief for a while that most people go through a Sakuya phase at some point before moving on. jk i respect saguya fans

Been listening back to some music from the first two Ys games. I really need to play more of the series when I get the time but the contrast of the very, very basic gameplay and this music is so funny to me. Only played the Chronicles re-release so I can mostly speak for that but, I've heard some of the other arrangements and they do have a different feel to them. Specially the Ys Complete versions, I actually prefer some of those over the more modern sound. also the games originally released on pc-88, the pc-98 series' predecessor, so that's neat

I've only had the chance to play 3ds monhun and, I loved them even with the wonky camera controls. Only wish G rank wasn't stupidly time consuming to solo in those games because of hp scaling... it kinda burned me out in the end. Also share the same lukewarm feelings towards pokemon, though I just, haven't felt the itch to play any of the games in a while really. Anyways, my favorite goes back and forth between Final Fantasy 6 and Xenoblade Chronicles 1. Also I'm sure I would love SMT if I could get behind the whole demon system.

I just finished playing Furi, something I've been wanting to do for some time, and boy does it have a great soundtrack. Not only because it's enjoyable on its own but it complements the atmosphere and aesthetic of the game so well. Also in-game the boss themes only progress as you get further into the fight, which is always a neat touch.

I need to sit down and watch SZS one of these days....

I've been replaying Sonic Adventure 2 and I never realized how good some of Tails' themes are. Shame you can barely hear them in-game with all the beeping.

Lax regulations, big cast, girls, etc. Keep in mind this happens with literally every piece of media that exists and will exist though. Personally I used to be very anti-horny few years ago but as the years passed I just, whatever. Hell yeah booba. Also like I said in another thread big distinction between cute and/or sexy, and nsfw. The art in that fangame is just so overdone that it loops back to being funny for me honestly.

Somehow over the years both my pc and phone bgs ended up as Chen...

Argentino también Nah I don't think there is. I guess there's a general hispanic community.

honestly talking about canon heights is like talking about power levels

im a believer of towering junko

we all have issues, i don't believe for a second that anyone has their life figured out and you shouldn't either. and if you talk about it people will generally be sympathetic, as everyone's been on this thread, but it's not gonna help you break out of that mentality. sorry if im being cold here. just you shouldn't feel less if you need a hand. i guarantee you even the most seemingly """"successful"""" people have their fair share of skeletons in the closet.

i know you are venting but you should really talk this out with a therapist if it's bothering you that much. don't mean that in a bad way just, that's the only way you're gonna get real help if you need it. i second pretty much everything StrongDrunkenChild said, specially that you are dangerously close to falling for incel rhetoric.
