wow @macros mk2 where the hell have you been? its been a minute i swear

@cs15flac yeah thats another classic one, the same person made both of them actually so youre probably picking up on his style. theres actually this video game that came out that i saw not long ago, where they have a mode that stylizes the game where the atmosphere is in his famous lofi hip-hop bag - it looks dope, i just cant focus on video games like i use too unfortunately

 

yes the movie takes place in the middle of the show chronologically, i forget what episode- oh between 22 and 23. also the creator of the show, shinichiro watanabe, has a new one out, lazarus. haven't watched it yet, can't find it on the torrent sites and anyways its on the same list of shows and movies that are on hold until i get a big ass nice tv someday.

as for the live action version of bebop, much like the live action version of ghost in the shell and always rumored akira live action film (WHERE THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE LOCATION TO NYC).... never heard of it. i 100% believe you there are some good moments in there, especially visually, but yah bebop is in my top 10 easy for all time favorite movies/shows... so i didn't want to risk it tainting my nostalgia of bebop. i even have a license plate holder that says "see ya in space cowboy" ha. ive seen it a shitload of times, and still would rather just rewatch the original, especially after the new one got trashed in reviews. so i forgot it existed until you just mentioned it again, and now i will go back to forgetting it existed.

like if you watch this scene, notice how many cuts and different shots there are. wayyy more than the average anime tv show, probably even just the average show in general. also, this maybe sacrilegious but i only watch it in the english dub. how i first saw it, english is my first language...and only language, the english voice actors are amazing, and imo english being the common language in the future makes more sense than japanese does. something like akira would obviously be better in japanese of course.i digress, but yeah a favorite of mine too for sure!

yoooo grape! you know just being depressed af, stressed living paycheck to paycheck in this shit place, barely functioning. the usual. lol. but also besides that the last two pics i never really made anything TO them, like dunno i tried to get inspired but it didn't happen. Much more to do with the aforementioned depression than the quality of images believe me. everything feels like a bland meal you're picking at when you're not even hungry. so it goes!

i made a decent techno-y type song a few weeks ago i thought about shoehorning in here, but it'd be a lie to say i made it while thinking of john and yoko and the maid lol. my big idea was to sample yoko ono screaming while chuck berry and lennon were jamming and berry gets all pissed looking hahaha classic clip, but i never got around to it. got distracted after making that techno song, thought "i should make a few more decent quality 120bpm 4 on the floor beats and blend them with this one like a dj set, that should be simple" which is nice in theory, but the decent quality part keeps being the hang up. always is! well looks like im inserting this song anyway now haha, i DID have the picture open while i made some of this so we'll half count it

i tried to distort a bunch of shit but keep like below 80-100hz ish more clean, not sure how well that worked out. new headphones, hifiman ananda nanos which are great and have SOOOO much more bass than the hd600s i have as well, so been having fun with making bassy shit at least. still dont trust my mixes without being able to like listen on decent monitors in a solid environment with a subwoofer and preferably someone who knows what they're doing sitting besides me saying "this is wrong and this is wrong and this is wrong"

oh speaking of bass, i just got a bunch of braam sounds for the virus TI, so next entry you can be SURE there will be a bunch of BWAAAA sound effects gratuitously scattered about. i haven't really read through much of this thread last time i skimmed through things you were in morocco i think! hope you had a good time and some good cocktails!
