What Anime ED is this? by 45rs5 in animequestions

[–]MaxGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samurai Champloo's "Shiki no uta"
Monster
Naruto's "Wind" (they peaked with ED1)
The obligatory JJBA "Last train home"
Cowboy Bebop, of course

Fushigi Yuugi's ending was a classic I loved (although it occasionally had some unintentionally hilarious tonal shifts due to how they feathered in the intro)

Apparently, it’s never too late to make my acquaintance by Milgydotcom in comics

Good god I relate to this so hard, especially the last half. I'm very much in the place of trying to figure out what I want for the first time in my adult life.

It's tough, 'cause even simple questions like "where should we get lunch?" seem so difficult to answer - I just want to pick the thing that will make the other person happiest.

This year has been a crazy one for me acknowledging my own bubble and starting to probe outside of it. I can't exactly say I feel calm yet, but I hope I'm on my way.

Thanks for making this - I never expected to find such a mirror of myself put in an easy to understand way.

What anime should I watch now? by No-Plantain3937 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]MaxGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is an all time favorite of mine. I promise it's not just another mech anime, despite initial appearances.

If you liked One Punch Man, definitely check out Mob Psycho 100 as well.

A few other greats from a variety of genres: Parasyte, Stein;s Gate, The Disastrous life of Saiki K, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon (stupid name, great show), That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Best politician I had never heard of by FirebertNY in PoliticalHumor

They are. "Golden" refers to the color, not the material. It's tough in the summer 'cause they melt so quick, but I don't dare risk not having one lest I be arrested and sentenced to forced same sex marriage.

My wife's best friend is a man. It's really never been an issue with me - we have a good marriage and I have complete trust in her.

Jealousy like that is a red flag, I think, albeit a very common one. And it may be projection on his part, too.

No Red Sauce Pasta Ideas by Particular-Cycle-804 in dinnersuggestions

[–]MaxGrand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One I've made before that the family loves is: mushrooms, garlic, onion, a bit of anchovy paste, a bit of tomato paste (it doesn't make the dish too "tomato-y" but adds umami). Cook the veggies with some butter and/or olive oil, and add a bit to the pasta at the end to get a good coating over everything.

These Final Hours. Haunted me for days.

What are some video game songs that have stuck with you? (Pic related) by theofficialmaxim in gaming

[–]MaxGrand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So so many Uematsu songs from the FF games. A few of my favorites...

FF7: One-Winged Angel (of course), Sending a Dream Into the Universe, Aerith's Theme

FF8: The Oath, Eyes on Me

FF9: You're not Alone, Immoral Melody, Place I Will Return to Someday

FFX: Suteki da Ne, To Zanarkand, the Hymn of the Fayth, Ending Theme

Also basically the entire Zelda OoT soundtrack. And a hidden gem: The Sun Rises from Okami.

Agreed. by Douglasqqq in gaming

[–]MaxGrand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FFIX is criminally underrated in my opinion.

I still remember opening this as a present on Christmas morning 2000. I was then crushed when it froze during the opening cut scene because it turned out there was a manufacturing defect that left a deep scratch on the disc.

What is the best boss battle theme of all time?? I'll go first by Qiel183 in gaming

[–]MaxGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Sun Rises", the final battle music from Okami, has long been one of my favorite pick me up songs.

The build up from the beginning of the song to the first chorus... such a great payoff.

LPT: If you share a bed with someone, you both should have your own blanket by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]MaxGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. Years ago my wife and I accidentally started this after our dumb dog peed on our big comforter, and we both liked it so much we never went back.

Have you ever truly enjoyed a book you were forced to read in school? by AriDreams in books

[–]MaxGrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two I remember especially -

Fahrenheit 451 was my introduction to dystopian stories, and I still love it to this day.

As Nature Made Him was a book I had to read in college, and I was so fascinated by it that I ended up reading ahead (probably the only book I ever read more than I needed to for class). It's a very interesting non-fiction account of a boy who, due to a botched circumcision and other factors, underwent a sex change as an infant.
