Any fellow OORers here?
I'm really late to the party having just gotten into them at the very end of last year but boy am I hooked. In the last 7 months alone, bye-bye $1.5K. >__>;
I love the band's music and their lyrics really resonate. They've helped me get through tough times at work and still continue to do so. I'm sad I didn't get into them sooner since I would have loved to see them perform in smaller live houses instead of only the huge venues that they do now. (But those are cool too!)
I first saw them live at Tokyo Dome this year, and my second time was at Dead Pop Festival earlier this month. I'll see them again at ELLEGARDEN's Marine Stadium concert which I was going to go to anyway because I'm absolutely psyched for ELLEGARDEN's return, but the announcement of OOR as the guest act was icing on the cake and I'm ecstatic over the chance of seeing my two favorite bands together. I'm crossing my fingers for Shin-kiba tickets since that will probably be the only chance to see OOR in a live house for the foreseeable future. Their live performances are so energetic.
I also really admire all the members, especially Taka. I love how they just set their sights on something and then go do it without paying mind to any criticism they may get. I sincerely hope they'll make it big in the U.S. someday.
I've had trouble finding places online to discuss the band without having to deal with people posting or asking for links to downloads and other stuff, but hope there will be like-minded people here to chat about this awesome band.

She allegedly didn't like how her favorite character was being treated― With games like The IdolM@ster and Ensemble Stars!! allowing people to manage Japanese idols, they're bound to create schisms among fans — not about which game is better, but which character is the best.

Synduality: Noir perhaps ends up better than other video game tie-in series, but in the larger mecha genre, it's still an also-ran.― This second cour started as a big fat question mark. While the first half of Synduality: Noir had occasional drama, most of its runtime was all about chilling with its extended cast as they got into cool robot fights. While that lent the show a lot of charm, it meant t...

Unfortunately, Kengan Ashura isn't dumb fun often enough to be enjoyable, and its politics make it a slog to get through.― The back half of season one of Kengan Ashura — confusingly labeled "Part II" on Netflix and with episode numbers that reset to 1 through 12 — is better than the first part of the season.
