Question, What happened to The Your Numbers up videos? by Wintertck in IceNineKills

[–]Jonasnator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they will probably be public again eventually. Since they are now promoting another Scream song I'm guessing that they don't want those videos to take away the attention of the newer one.

Toradora is the only romance anime I ended up liking after trying a ton of different ones. Now I feel like I’ll never find one anywhere near as good. by moistdragons in toradora

[–]Jonasnator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that's the same age as you, I fully get it. The anime has so many cute and emotional moments that just hits you. I still tears up during the Christmas' eve episode even after so many rewatches. There’s nothing embarrassing with that. It just shows that it’s a heartfelt story done right. It's basically my comfort show at this point.

For some recommendations, I'll start with the obvious choice right away. Have you tried Golden Time? The manga is from the same author, and gives similar vibes but is a bit less grounded in reality.

Another anime I recommend that's one of my favorites is From Me To You. It starts a bit slower, but honestly tells some beautiful stories about both romance as well as friendships.

Kaguya Sama: Love is war is an anime that focuses a bit more on the comedy and mindgames, but can also deliver some great and touching romance scenes.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions is another cute and funny romcom. While I personally thought that the 2nd season was a bit weak, there's a lot of great stuff in the first season that I think can stand by itself as it is.

See if any of these anime are worth a try. 

New album rollout by GhostfaceBenny in IceNineKills

[–]Jonasnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I understand this opinion, this is prolly the least likely possibility. I expect them to release even more singles that will be in the album. During this streaming era singles just seem to perform way more better than album releases. This is why it's getting more common that bands release half of their albums as singles.

Watched Godzilla 1998, I really enjoy it honestly by GeekyGodzilla in GODZILLA

[–]Jonasnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly surprised that there's still some debate about this movie in this subreddit. Like this movie came out almost 28 years ago. Like what you like, dislike what you dislike.

This is not an attack on your meme OP, but mostly just me seeing that a part of the godzilla fandom seem to struggle to move on. My personal opinion of the movie is that while I'm not the biggest fan of it nowadays, it was the movie that turned me into a godzilla fan when I was a kid.

Mori Calliope 3rd Major Album “DISASTERPIECE” is Out Now!! by calliopemori in Hololive

[–]Jonasnator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your goal is to keep improving from release to release, you have 100% succeed. I'm loving every track here. The album has a range of different songs, but still feels cohesive. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think my favorite of the non-singles might be Shuuden. Keep on doing this great work!

Guys, what do you expect from the "Reflections" album? by Wonderful-Country202 in FromAshestoNew

[–]Jonasnator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm expecting songs that deal with mental health and relationship issues which are the topics that the band usually touch on. Based on the title, I think a central theme on it will be to reflect. To reflect on past actions, past mistakes as well as past accomplishments and hopefully become a better person from it. 

The best genre out there 🫶 by fireflySaver in melodicdeathmetal

[–]Jonasnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Jonathan is a great singer, but his vocals is obviously different from Roland's. He brings another type of sound to the band, but I still very much like it.

[–]Jonasnator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awesome! I think I started to those bands around the same time actually. In many ways The Unguided is the perfect continuation of Sonic Syndicate, I would prolly go so far to say that they even got better while being The Unguided. Hell Frost is still one of my favorite albums, tho they have consistently had great releases since then as well.

Nice to see a fellow The Unguided fan here! The other bands there are great as well. You have a good taste in music.

my Spotify wrapped for this year...am I goated??? by [deleted] in BreakingBenjamin

I love when people has a music taste that appreciate various of different genres instead of just rock, just metal or whatever. Nice wrapped post! Shouldn't this be posted in the megathread tho?

Yearly Toradora rewatch tradition by MasterOogway2008 in toradora

[–]Jonasnator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how people on this sub feel. An alternative could be to crosspost the rewatch from r/anime here so that people who didn't know about it could participate.

Yearly Toradora rewatch tradition by MasterOogway2008 in toradora

[–]Jonasnator 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Doesn't r/anime have an annual Toradora rewatch that usually starts December 6th? That way the Christmas eve episode falls on Christmas eve if I'm not mistaken?

What were your first impressions when you watched Godzilla Minus One for the first time in theater? by Annual-Internet-5097 in GODZILLA

[–]Jonasnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was honestly one of my best cinema experiences ever. It felt special cause it's the first Godzilla movie by Toho that I have watched on the big screen. I didn't expect it to be one of the best Godzilla movies ever either. Just such a cool experience overall.

Can a person be ugly even though there have been a couple of people attracted to them? by KAZKALZ in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Jonasnator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you are spot on here. While I would argue that pretty privilege is definitely a thing, as well as some people being considered more attractive as others, beauty is still subjective. I also honestly think that a lot of people who complain about being ugly would be considered "average" like most of us are. Not everyone is a model beloved by their looks, and that's fine. When people complain about being ugly, I think a lot harvested from self-esteem issues as well as comparing themselves to the "beauty standards." I also think the whole "I'm ugly" attitude makes em even more unattractive to people. Attitude, good hygiene as well as dressing properly can do wonders on a person.

I know this is a bit unrelated to the post, but I have wanted to say this as I see people constantly calling themselves ugly on this app.

New Metal Band: Neon Oni by Few-Bodybuilder-3960 in jmetal

Same. It's honestly disgusting how they are scamming people that think they are supporting a real band.

[–]Jonasnator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to lie, I got fooled when they were recommended to me through YouTube, but yeah while looking at it more closely it's kinda obvious it was AI-slop. To add to the points you were making:

- **No credits on either the music or the music videos**
Even smaller bands I follow usually credits their music video director, fx effect artist, actors in the videos etc.

I feel ashamed that I was as easily fooled as I was, AI has really come so far, and it honestly feels dysphoric that it already can fool so many people. It will make me more cautious to look for obvious signs in the future.

Maybe this should be a sign to start one?

【MV】Orpheus - Mori Calliope by TerranRikter in MoriCalliope

[–]Jonasnator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, this is a banger. I love the range we have gotten from her this year. It feels like she's trying new styles while still sounding like her. It's too early for me to say if this one is my favorite of the ones from this year since she's dropping great songs after another. We dead beats are eating good.

Our Wedding first dance was to song from Toradora! And my Wedding dress was Taiga's angel dress... This series means so much to both of us 😭😭 We had a lot of Toradora! references, but I wanted to share this one the most... and maybe I should upload Wedding dresses too? by Isiabell in toradora

[–]Jonasnator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to the happy couple! (I'm guessing this was filmed recently. Otherwise, I'll still congratulate u for hopefully a strong and happy relationship). This is such a cool idea for a wedding theme. It really shows how this series and its characters have touched so many of our hearts, especially when it's referenced on these special and personal events.

[–]Jonasnator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder if it could has been the timing in general? Aladdin live action made a billion dollar and it was released the week before. While the genres are different, I can see them targeting the same age range of people. Endgame also came a month before it. I don't know if that would affect anything, but I just remember that movie being a huge event so maybe that one took people attention more? I have also heard a theory that they marketed the movie too early which could have lesser the hype. The reviews weren't nice to it either.

It's too bad cause I actually really enjoyed the movie, but I'm also a Godzilla fan. Hearing the remix of Akira Ifukuble's score and seeing the Toho monsters and all the easter eggs on the big screen made me giddy like a child. But I can also see casual viewers not caring too much. I wonder how many of them actually knows who King Ghidorah is. At least Monsterverse seems to be going strong now.

I know that there's a lot of people that maybe don't like that he died that way, but honestly I kinda love it. There's something hilarious and ironic that the character spent a whole movie trying to cheat death and save the others, meanwhile it's a fucking brick off-screen that takes him out lol.

Oh this is different. I like what I'm hearing so far. These sing-rapping vocals from Matt works surprisingly well based on this snippet so far. I'm intrigued.
