Just saying, I make a lot of these. I mean, like A LOT ...yeah...

You can do it! If it makes you feel any better, I am also feeling the crunch. I need to write an ending and do a little more recording. Good luck to us both!

I would avoid showing SAO because showing an anime that is both popular and constructed like a harem doesn't send the right kind of vibes to impressionable teenagers.

okay - we got: ZZtop vs. David Bowie Koji Kondo vs. Peter Gabriel Drake vs WiiShopChannel <- not my original idea but it needed proper execution

I'm not really a fan of mid-week deadlines. I'd much prefer Sunday afternoon deadlines, so I can stay up til ungodly hours of the night perfecting my remix. Can't really do that when I have to be at work in the morning :/ All my lyrics are written, just have to record and process them all tomorrow. No big deal, right?

You didn't forget about this little gem did ya?

I didn't make this one, but I liked it.

Thanks to feedback from @Daniel Caton (thanks) & OCR staff, we've made some substantial improvements to the workshop skills pages, e.g.: http://ocremix.org/workshop/skill/studio-one http://ocremix.org/workshop/skill/vocals-female http://ocremix.org/workshop/skill/french-horn Changes are as follows: Switched to bootstrap tables Switched to font-awesome icons "join date" is now "joined" and is just the year "last visited" is now "visited" "real name" moved under user name user name larger "real name" column replaced with "skills / tools" column, including DAW & instrumental Secondary sort added on visited (sorts by collab status first, then visited date, DESC) Made additional instrument links clickable Made DAW links clickable icons The last four items are bold since I think they represent the biggest improvement - now, when looking at members who have specified one skill, you can see the other skills they have specified as well, and you can click on those skills to jump around a bit. Plus fancypants DAW icons. And the sorting based on last visited (most recent first) gives you a good idea of who's more likely to be around/available. Feedback appreciated, although this was kind of a "burst" of energy for these specific pages, knowing full well I might not get back to updating them for awhile given more pressing concerns GET COLLABORATIN' Y'ALL!!

I like this except that I feel the full date display just seems like overkill... For the purposes of collaborating with someone & assessing their availability, I feel like: "Today" "Yesterday" "This Week" "This Month" "Last Month" "Mon YYYY" (e.g. "Dec. 2015") Should do it...the specific day seems superfluous, outside of it being within the first three ranges... make sense?

Yeah, I agree on the SAO bit. The Asuna scenes in the second half of the first season get extremely creepy, extremely fast.

I think it's a good medley and your playing is solid. I'd say that the mix could use work, though. Your rhythm guitars sound louder than everything else. The drums are a bit quiet and while I can hear the leads fine, I feel they should have more width to them and a slight volume increase as well. Maybe pan those 3rd harmonies and add a good stereo delay to the single-tracked leads. That's all I have to complain about.

Thanks Mirby for getting this project started, and thanks Brandon for picking this up. Glad to see this is still happening. Let me know if you need anything.

Some advice. First and foremost, I am not some Tumblr/SJW/prudish cliche. I am also not the polar opposite (not sure what to call that? Shitlord?). What I am is someone that has watched anime since the mid 1980. And no, I don't mean Robotech. We had access to Japanese Macross. Lots of stuff from various sources over the years. That guy down the street how had fifth generation bootleg tapes from his cousin in Japan, some video stores with a very limited selection, right up to the 90s and 2000s with local anime conventions and dedicated stores. And now we have stuff like Crunchyroll, Netflix and all those torrents and streaming sites. My god, you kids have it so easy now. Seriously, you can not comprehend how different things were twenty years ago, let along thirty or more. Fuck yeah, future! Any way, you're aiming at teens, aged 12 to 16. OK, cool. Lots of people got into anime about that age. Anime can be funny, even mind-blowing, at that age. Like, "holy shit, that was a crazy story!" Or, "holy shit, did you see that fight scene? It went on for twenty minutes!" Good times can, and will, be had. Open up interests in other countries and cultures, history, art and music, all kinds of stuff. Buuuuut... there is something that this vast access to anime has brought with it. A lot of anime simply isn't appropriate for teens. And I don't mean "time to show a little skin!" inappropriate. I mean stuff ranging from under-age sexualization (seems to be popular these last few... decades) to straight-up sexual assault. Case in point: Nanatsu No Taizai. Early in the series, the male lead character brings the unconscious lead female character to a safe place after a minor battle. Once in bed, he looks over, places his hand on her breasts, gives them a big ol' squeezin', and when she wakes up, says he was just checking her pulse. No. No, that is not right. You pull that shit in real life, you get arrested. But in anime, it's OK because... ANIME!! It's fine in Japan! (No it isn't, it's a crime and the penalty is quite severe. Like the police. Seriously, don't get arrested in Japan). So not all shows, regardless of suggestions or recommendations, are going to appropriate for 12 to 16 year old kids. Watch the shows. Not one or two episodes, watch at least five of them (if not more) to make sure. Think about what kind of scenarios these kids are going to be watching over the weeks or months, and what kind of impressions and messages these shows are going to make. And for the love of Arceus, legally cover you ass. Make sure everything you do is on the up-and-up. Work with the staff to make sure there are no laws or regulations in your town/state/province/territory/etc about shows and ratings. None of us want to hear about some guy in a small town library getting arrested for accidentally showing "that there Jap cartoon porn" to some 12 year-olds, even when we all know that is not the case. Once you clear those two concerns, go for it. Invite the parents to watch with their kids, maybe get a small article in the local paper or something to get more members (and also solidify your good standing in the community), have a small local convention if there aren't any in your region. There are so many ways this could turn out good, and most of them you won't even have to work hard at. Small clubs can be a wellspring of friendships and good memories that will be around for years after the club could fold up. It's worth the time and effort, even if it's only in a small town library. Good luck!
