    For me I liked Sinatra best we collaborated with Jobim. Take this song for example you can just taste the absolute longing in his voice it's such a beautiful track

     

    Well, I don't deny the beauty of his later music because he as an artist had multiple phases and he certainly improved his singing style later in life, and he certainly released some very intense emotional tracks as the years went by, however I personally tend to prefer his earlier works because to me they're a good balance of Sinatra's iconic phrasing, mixed with his early high vocal range which he unfortunately had already started to lose by the mid 50's, but if I had to pick a particular period of his later career in which I believe he was at his absolute best, it would definitely be in his album "No One Cares'', which is by far his darkest album. It's honestly pretty hard to find recordings from that album online, but here's one:

    Frank Sinatra has famously been called "The Voice" for as long as most of us can remember, but what most people probably don't know is that the Sinatra we've come to know from our parents is far from being the man at his best. This here is what I consider to be Sinatra at the peak of his singing ability, singing his signature song "Put Your Dreams Away (For Another Day)" under the Columbia label in 1945.

    Well, Hello again! I just realized the last time I was here was when I said I'd be busy last year, well, I've actually been back for a few months now! In any case, I'll have a mini vacation till the 18th, so expect a significant boost to the Editing bar!  :sachi:

    Well, the team already knows but i thought I'd tell everyone here as well, atm i am busy with many things (Final exams, monograph, college admission stuff, etc.) so i haven't been able to work very much lately, so I've decided to take a break from editing to focus on that for now.

    @OutoftheBox is going to be taking care of my part for now, i should be back to working regularly by December (well, unless my family actually takes that holiday they mentioned, but that wouldn't stop me from working at least a bit).

    What Anime are you watching now?

    So i just started watching Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite. I liked season 1, the sense of adventure and discovery in the anime was quick and colourful. I pretty much excused all the holes in the story and hilarious representation of politics in it cause well i wasn't going into this anime with the expectation of something 'heavy' to watch. Just something fun.

    Then i began season 2, just four episodes so far and i got to say...

      Reveal hidden contents

     

    I'm sickened. It became difficult to watch for me. First episode and it introduces sexual slavery and a rape scene. Sexual abuse of any kind really disturbs me, i think my personal trauma and experiences probably adds to how deeply affected i get by it.  

    I felt enraged and disgusted by it all. Felt so sorry for Tyuule and Noriko. Tyuule for example had everything taken away from her and she's branded as a traitor due to misinformation. All alone in a world of suffering, of course you're mind isn't going to be right after that. You'll most likely hate life itself.  Ah noriko... taken away from her home world and raped and tortured for months only to be rescued and thinking she could go back to her family, but guess what? her familys no more... 

    Then we have Tuka and her psychological issues festering to a point where she can't decipher reality anymore, poor Tuka...

    Honestly i didn't expect it to get this dark, this quickly. I know they're all just characters in a story, but those acts still disturb me maybe because things like this exists in reality to. I just end up getting reminded of it. This isn't the animes fault of course, this was the direction the novel was heading in i think. Well i always get like this when i get surprised by situations like that in stories. I can't help myself but empathize.

     

    Okay, rant end!

    Anyway i'm going to finish the anime. It still has the spirit of season 1 in it, i just need to deal with all the added baggage that came along with the story's progression. Man i hope it ends well somehow though.

    Gate IS pretty light hearted at many times, but it is still a serious story about dealing with a conflict with a civilization from another World, it touches in on politics, corruption and such, also, you should read the manga, they leave out a lot less stuff, and represent the coward personality of the mc better (The light novels make him look even worse), he is always a nice person, he always does (most) of the same things, but they emphasize more on his cowardice, such as, in the beginning of the show he killed an invading soldier, in the original he doesn't do that.

    Go with Majikoi! S, as much as switching between heavy and light may be a thing, i get it, i first played Majikoi, then Grisaia, then G-senjou no maou, then Dracu-Riot! and so on, but comyu tends to get... SUFFOCATING, at least for me, i've had it waiting to be continued for close to two years now (Last time i played was April 12th last year).

    I've recently gotten into Warthunder, but more importantly than that, i'm finally getting Fallout 4!! but well, for now my days are filled with nothing but vn's (mostly at night or the afternoon) and then just the rest of the day is me playing Warthunder (as a pilot of course), oh, and i've also recently gotten back into skyrim modding (Well, Oblivion modding too, but i kind of broke the game... and the mod manager along with it).

    I believe there have been both Natsunagi and Hatsusaku projects that have died. As for this particular VN, it's probably near the bottom of anyone's Saga Planets wishlist.

    Hohoho, but that's wrong, and it will become a reality! no matter if some members go MIA, no matter if i end up as the only one left, i will SOMEHOW make sure it is finished, that, you can take my word for!!!

    Well, i couldn't find any better images online (The logo would blend in with their uniforms in a weird way), and i'm not the  hacker to extract the cg's either (Shameless self advertisment ftw), BUT, i managed to make this at least:

    Do tell me if you like it, cause i wouldn't know if it's good or not (I'm WAY too critical of my own work to make a fair evaluation), anyhow, i hope it's good enough.
