How does everyone feel about the new albums that just came out? Views by Drake, and Chance the Rapper's new one, Colouring Book? Any fans?

Updated title to include Gaming discussion. There are obviously a lot of gamers here. I currently am not one, but wouldn't mind getting a system at some point depending on what is the best one.

Also, any music (like DRK mentioned) or books are also welcome. Boston and Milwaukee forums have great threads with these sorts of topics.

Thinking of buying the new Doom game for the PS4. Also it soundtrack reveals a satanic easter egg on a spectogram.

What is best gaming system to get these days? I've been assuming the latest X Box.

I am more of a guy to buy a little older version for a much reduced price than the more overpriced great new thing though...so considering that, what would be good (as long as all games and future games would play on that system).

I'm still getting good mileage out of the PS3. I'm not in a big hurry to update.

Not sure if this is the right place or anything, but the Suns reference in the new Game of Zones was pretty funny/depressing lol

So, what about animes ? Started watching some and am looking for good recommendations.

Favorites so far were Death Note, Seven Deadly Sins and Kill La Kill. Watching Hunter x Hunter now

You see Attack on Titan? One Punch Man?

My personal favorites are both Fullmetal Alchemist series.

Have you watched the some of the classics like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo? They're not too long, I want to say just 26 episodes a each? Just got done rewatching Bebop the other day, so damn good, Watanabe puts out good stuff.

Like Miyagi said, the FMA series' are both really good too

I was low-key deep into anime and manga back about a decade ago and I still watch from time to time but I don't really have the time to go out and look for series to watch now. Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are still two of my favourite series. I loved the music and I especially loved how the genre of music influenced the setting. Has Watanabe released anything close to being as good as those two series?

I watched One Punch Man. That was really good fun. I thought there was a moderate undertone of satire throughout the series. The whole enemies charging up and leveling up like you see in most action anime/mangas then to see them getting put away by a normal guy clearly not amused or invested in the spectacle was funny to me.

I'm kind of the same way, I still keep up with some of the manga that are still around from then (mostly OP) but other than that I don't go out for new stuff. Bebop and Champloo were definitely awesome though, his incorporation of a bunch of different themes that don't typically go together into a single work was great. As far as new stuff, I heard he had a hand in Space Dandy but I've never watched any of it.
