By the way, Angel's Egg is an overlooked masterpiece. Slow-burning, surrealistic and poetic anime with barely any dialogue at all. It's not as much about plot, characters and all that, but rather an atmospheric trip, or just an experience, that offers something different. Probably the most unique anime I've ever seen. It's not even 80 minutes long, but 85% of everyone who watch this will be bored to death and the 80 minutes will feel more like 578 minutes. But this is perfect IMO. Highly recommended for people with some patience who appreciate atmosphere, visual style and the artsy side of things.

I couldn't find a better title for this thread, but I would like to have an own thread for anime that are suited for adults, rather than kids/teens. Because whenever I've started talking about this in the anime thread it's kinda dwoned in the talk of everything else which is probably more popular. And with "adult" I am basically thinking about anime that is much darker and psychological, more violent and gory, features erotica, or deals with themes that'll go way above the head of most teens. It's a bit vague I guess, but I think you'll get what I mean when you see the lists of examples. Series: Cowboy Bebop* Ergo Proxy Serial Experiments Lain Neon Genesis Evangelion Elfen Lied Hellsing Gungrave Cyber City Oedo 808 Berserk Films: Perfect Blue Akira Ninja Scroll Ghost in the Shell Angel's Egg Memories Wicked City Vampire Hunter D Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust *I understand that Cowboy Bebop might seem a bit out of place to some here, but its touches of neo-noir, sophistication, philosophical concepts of boredom and loneliness and more adult themes such as drugs and homosexuality makes it a very adult series. Anyone ever see anime that's either Lovecraftian or very cosmic horror-inspired? Would be real cool!

oh no, oh deer

I've been Original Saku for 12+ years, so that's always been the same... but I dig up some stuff on my ancient photobucket account from 10 years ago... I'm pretty sure I used all of these in the very early years of TW, alos here's one that precedes this forum from myspace also a bonus gem from the the old days when Jake (Spike760) was heavily into advertising (spamming) the forum all over the place.

With the forum being around for a decade, a lot of you have changed your user names or had multiple accounts. Add in the fact that you have probably changed your avatar a bunch of times, and it's going to be pretty hard to remember everyone across such a long span of time. So let's share all of our old usernames below! And if you still have them floating on a hard drive somewhere, include an old avatar or two.

never dating this bodytype again in my life it's ruined, done, and cancelled #thanks_anime

I remember coming across blog postings that would mention a web forum (Tainted World), that shared their love for Japanese Rock, many years ago. I said to myself, “That forum must be full of losers”, and thought nothing more of it. Sorry Ito haha. I find it incredible that I would meet the creator of that very website (as I soon found out) here in Chicagoland years later, at an Anime Convention panel of all places, introducing his newly transitioned website “Monochrome Heaven”, and how great it would be if I joined. It’s funny how fate works sometimes. Honestly, joining Monochrome Heaven was one of the happiest decisions I believe I’ve ever made in my life. I want to thank all of you. I have joined many forums, and even helped moderate a couple too, but none of them were like this. I didn’t expect to still be here, 4 years later, logging in with as much enjoyment as I did the first day. I didn’t expect to meet incredible individuals, who love Visual Kei just as much as I do, and yet, live up to thousands of miles away from each other. Some of you make me happier after talking to, than many of my IRL friends haha. MH helped me rediscover many music that I had heard growing up, being able to finally put some artists’ names and faces to songs that I never thought I’d hear again. You’ve become part of my daily routine every morning, next to taking that drive to work, and drinking that much needed cup of coffee. I owe this forum a great deal for being there, when I needed it the most, you have no idea. This place is my home away from home. Whatever I can do to keep MH here another 10 years, is the least I can do, in order to repay this great community. Happy 10th Birthday, Monochrome.

I love this song

What the hell, I had no idea SEKHMET is Chianti... your sig was legendary I have been allisapp for 15 years now. Changes are wrong.

Oh boy it's been awhile. I still follow the group on fb and saw this post and thought "gahdamn, has it really been 10 years?" That means I've known some of you since I was 16/17 and some of you like champ213 probably even longer than that from tonberry days and the great migration. A wave of serious nostalgia passed over me. This forum and the people on it were such an integral part of my life for so long. Fond af memories: downloads and rarez drama, Kiwamu hate, crappy indies vk thread, the mh Chat, chatting on msn messenger, chatting on soulseek lol, Jake's changing favorite bands every week, Dai/toasted waffles/the big change, being a mod and the staff dramaz (our pokemanz and mod colors too), yellow names, Fakkin' A, that dude mitsu (I think) who would randomly curse in the chat and had that terrible vk fanfiction and lyrics site, "generic" , Jake's feud with that dude that ended somehow with Cat5 and others infiltrating our ranks and then liking it here, lady revania drama, last.fm mass chart suicides and tagging dramaz, spinning on turntable.fm, when we first got emoticons and the subsequent abuse of said emoticons , demonandroid and all crappy vs. high quality rips dramaz, credit dramaz, IAMWILL, banning dramaz... okay lots of drama but ya'll get the point. Some of the best friends I've made I made on this forum and some of you I've gotten a chance to meet irl and hope to still meet others in the future. I honestly thought I would be on here until the bitter end but a year or so after I moved to Tokyo and got buckled down with school and life I slow faded and before I knew it it all seemed so distant. But every now and then I think back to this place and when I see some of you guys on fb or elsewhere the memories do come flooding back and I'm happy and proud to have been a part of this community. Some honorable mentions of some people Who've impacted my life on and off this board: Cat5, Champ213, Maiku, Prism, Zeus, Mima, Shogu, Missa, Ito, Spike760, Biopanda, Furik, Aion, Ash and more. So long and thanks for all the fish.

Don't like to show myself, but it's Spring so...

lmao what kind of a nightmare b-side PV treatment for adam lmao @ dat heffa with the tatted sleeves (when will an cafe's frontman)

lul that was me correcting that dude on the xaa xaa vid

Started playing Odallus: The Dark Call today. 40 minutes in and it's totally neat. Like a mix of Castlevania og Metroid, with a brilliant soundtrack on top. It's nothing revolutionary, but so far it's a real fun action-adventure platformer.

that's a fuckin MOUTHGUARD that says "bad boy" and he's still wearing lipstick this is a great album. 5.5/5

sounds really good!! i like this 100x more than halienju already. plus, it's so nice to hear the vocalist singing again.

previews of Geomatrium's first minialbum. because this is an unlisted video, please don't share it outside of Monochrome Heaven. the video will be available for roughly 6 days and deleted afterwards so make sure to watch it while you can.

Oh god you're right And now I've gone 180. At least the music isn't as bad as he looks.

yes nostalgia lured me back haha. We had so many chats! half of the fun of mh in those days didn't take place/ or start on the actual board now that I think about it. It was all consuming in a way xD and I feel like I'm dating myself a lot but I remember going from daiforum ---> tokyonights---> tonberry ---> then here. You were probably on daiforum as well and a bet a few people may have been on Tokyonights too. And yessssss invisionfree ~ You are correct I absolutely do and thought about mentioning her. After she disappeared from the forum I still talked to her some on last.fm but then she officially vanished. I remember her, prism, nick (I can't remember his username now >_<) and missa were a funny group. Since your comment on the first post of this thread I've been trying to figure out who is this person that remembers me and all of that stuff from back. I've been rackin my brain like for sure I know you. Then I read the other thread and saw you're Kir/Chianti and was so happy haha. You were so much fun and definitely one of my favorite people from back then and I'm glad to see you still here. (It's funny because my second internet username is wrath of sekhmet, so I was like whoever this is they hella cool) also also I just remembered that guy darryl (sp??). That was another character XD.

Delkmiroph since ever. I never thought in change

I don't need to dig deep on name change thread lmao Kir --> Chianti --> Mister Svperstar --> Candy Warhol --> SEKHMET I believe my very first username were triplesicks or something, the same name I used for my myspace back then, and I got into TW because Spike promoted it on one VK board in myspace lel

Inb4 lynch. Goes all electro rock now I hope Ryo doesnt just tell them to go with the heavy electro thing girugamesh was on. Ryo: this is the future *plays evolution* Hazuki: .... Ryo: wub wub wub chuga chug chug Hazuki: what the hell? We are behind schedule

I haven't posted here in about a year so I figured why not. Just like last year, cheki with XAA-XAA from a few weeks ago

Looks like Ryo (ex-Girugamesh) also participated in producing the album.

it's called 'sinners' because they associated with weed smokers

Track previews are up on their OHP.
