It means that Shiina Ringo will produce solo stuff again, which is extremely nice as well.

Agree with Jgray. What is it? Is it very important that you won't even crop it?

Still a bit mad though.

That's what all the IB teachers tell you son, but in truth it will just be the first half a year. The IB syllabus is larger than most other school systems', so it will undoubtedly cover some university theory. However, the advantage will only last for about half a year.
I agree with you that IB is a much better preparation for university than other school systems (like my local one, for example), but it's not some holy grail. It also does not have a heavier workload than university as some people claim. It's just that most people doing IB don't know how to plan ahead correctly, while in university most people DO learn that. It just seems as if IB has a high workload to most people, but it really is not that bad at all as long as you keep breathing and just do the frigging work you're supposed to.
Engineering expects much more personal initiative and working hours than natural sciences and math do. For some the personal initiative part is very difficult, while for others the difficulty of the subject matter itself is what makes the natural sciences and math too difficult for some.
I don't have to do jack sh*t at home, but I do have to pay very good attention at lectures and make good notes.

Gonna burn in my AD700 (I know some of you believe/not believe in burn in, but I do, so don't waste your time bothered about it) before I try listening again

Well, last message for this whole week. Gonna be busy preparing for assignments, midterm, etc.

This season is coming to a close. Not the best one I could think of, but not the worst too. But this is not a post about what I think is the best of the season (of the anime I watch/follow, and I’m not going to judge the ones I don’t watch, despite the urge to do it), it’s about the music.

To me, the OP and ED of an anime is almost as important as the main parts of an anime; I’d say that it’s at least 30% as important as an engaging plot or an interesting background of an anime. I’ll also do this is two sections: purely by sound, where I enjoy listening to it; and by animation, where I even keep watching the OP/ED and not leave the anime in the background while I check out Head-Fi for the umpteenth time that minute. It goes to say that this is all IMO.

Before I go on though, I will list what I’m watching from this season, to give you some expectations:

• Girls und Panzer
• JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (2012)
• Jormungand: Perfect Order
• Magi
• Psycho-Pass
• Robotics;Notes
• Shinsekai yori

OP/ED by music.
This is kind of hard for me to choose actually, since from among the 7 shows that I’m truly watching, most of them have gripping songs to match the feel of the show, but also does it best without the frequent context of the source. Despite that, I tried, and the best OP are from ...

Now for ED, this is quite a different beast. For starters, JJBA’s ED is a cut of an old song by Yes called Roundabout. Thanks to it, I now have another awesome band to hunt its music for. But for this post, I can’t consider it since I’m focusing more on how it’s born from the anime.

So for the best ED song goes to ...

OP/ED by animation.
A different beast altogether, this is where I’ll just sit staring at the song in utter admiration. So for the best OP animation goes to...

This is a tosser between two great ED IMO. After mulling about this way too much in my head, I just have to give it to ...
