I'm going to try to list anything accessible to you, new and/ old across different genres, Strider. 
 
Meshuggah - start with Obzen, then Catch 33 (this entire album is based on 1 primary riff), Nothing, Destroy Erase Improve, Chaosphere, Koloss, Contradictions Collapse. Meshuggah is the best 'djent' band around, hands down. Bands try to ape their style, every djent band is influenced by them and they're always 2 steps ahead of the game. Good time changes and very technical. 
 
Immolation - Failures For Gods, Here In After, Close To A World Below, Dawn Of Possession. 
 
Fear Factory - Soul Of A New Machine, Obsolete, Demanufacture.
 
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina.

Rotting Christ - Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers, Non Servium.

This isn't the basic stuff, it's just something off the top of my head and should give you some time to go through, plus depending on what you like/ don't like, I can throw in more recommendations specific to that sort of style/ genre/ whatever. There's much more. Thing is, like anime or movies, there's a lot out there but it's key to skip the bad stuff cos you don't want to waste your time with it.

If you don't enjoy Deathmetal, skip Cannibal Corpse. Macross Frontier's music is pretty good. What other Deathmetal bands do you listen to, Strider? Post some of your go-to albums or bands for me ... or maybe your best of 2013? 

It works for this movie because it gave you little information about the characters and the future. You don't really need a back story of how he became Dredd or how she had the ability she had. It's a problem most reboots face. In this case, leaving it out worked for the movie - at least for me. 

I has 2005 and onward now. 60 gigs, done! Now I've gotta watch em all.

Russian remake of Commando

Marley And Me is the only movie that got me crying so hard and bad (first time I heard myself cry) and for so long, I couldn't stop crying. 
 
 FRAKK THAT SHIT!! Never gonna watch it again. I own it too, sealed, as a reminder. 

Definitely. 

I'm at least glad Wolf's Rain didn't end with the song Paradise City.... Where the grass is green.... And the girls are pretty.... Oh won't they please find their Home....
 
There's also Wolf Children if the emphasis is on wanting Anime about Wolves, but from what I know that can be kind of depressing based on the plot.
 
.Hack has had some animal based characters in its various series though I don't really remember them well enough.
 
Sands Of Destruction also has Animal Characters such as Kuma, Kuma. But I don't know how it ends so I don't know whether or not it gets depressing, Kuma.
 
If you ever get back into wanting Anime that is depressing with Animal Characters though Blue Submarine Number 6 & Paranoia Agent might be worth a watch. But then again Blue Submarine Number 6 didn't have much of a plot beyond kill bad guy & here's a bunch of stuff that happens before bad guy is killed.
 
If you ever feel the need to watch Animal Characters that aren't in an Anime I recommend Disney's Gargoyles. The Mutates (Flying Cat People with Electric Powers) may not make up the majority of the show but Disney's Gargoyles is an awesome show thanks in part by how the voice cast has a lot of people from Star Trek TNG.

Also called Bron/ Broen. 
 
Highly recommended if you're into Cop-Thrillers, slams commercially popular US TV shows. Marathon'd seasons 1 and 2 last week, all caught up now unfortunately. 
 
According to IMDB - When a body is found on the bridge between Denmark and Sweden, right on the border, Danish inspector Martin Rohde and Swedish Saga Norén have to share jurisdiction and work together to find the killer.

Destro! 

She's going to pack some pounds sure like the Wonderwoman in the animated movies. People are complaining she doesn't have big breasts and all that, just dumb. 

I'm in the middle of the first season, so far so good actually. Every episode peels a different deeper layer of the small town that surrounds the story of a young boy who was found dead at the bottom of a cliff, on the beach. It affects local business/ tourists aka small businesses since it's a scandal and people aren't who they seem to be. 
 
Came out this year, well received critically. 

Also called The Returned.
 
TV show, atmospheric goodness with the exception of the middle of the season (episodes 6 and 7)
 
Great soundtrack by Mogwai. Finished this a few weeks ago. 
 
Watch the first few minutes to get a sense of it ...

I'd imagine you cut the cake, from the bottom up 
 
Happy birthday man, hope you had a fun day. Still feeling sick are ya? 
 
Whatcha get for your birthday huh??

If you want an all out action cheese flick, this won't be it. If you want a movie like the last Godzilla, this won't be it. This isn't an Independence Day kinda film. The Director's done Monsters, watch that first to get a sense of what you're in for. It's more about atmosphere, sounds, cinematography and I expect it to be well done. Expect. Hope. Yep, setting myself up for disappointment haha.

HO HO HO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Merry Christmas guys! 
 
Did Santa write any Thank You notes when you left him milk and cookies ?? He didn't the cookie I left him *sigh* ... last night was fun - I went to a 10 PM mass for the first time cos I wanted to listen to carols and listen to the piano/ organs within those walls, cos I always imagined the sound to feel epic. There was a lot of standing and sitting, not good for old people or people in general with knee or health problems *nod nod*. The main priest sang a lot, made me wonder "Do priests have to sing all the time? What if he can't sing?" So it was a pretty interesting time for me. I was looking forward to grabbing a mix of Strawberry and Vanilla ice cream from a Baskin Robins around the corner though, in 20 degree weather, perfect. 
 
What presents did ya get?!!
 
I got a wind-breaker jacket, 4 pairs of socks and an awesome tee. At work a colleague gave me a hideous big ball that changes colors every few seconds, gives me a headache but she thought it would add color to my life, very sweet but headache inducing none the less. Mum n Dad sent me a big box of my favorite hand soap and spicy banana chips full of YUM. 
 
Home Alone rules.

Dumb season, I expected the ending ... Daryl dies, the series dies because of all the middle-aged fangirls. They gave him the loudest cheers at the Comic-con panel I was at.

Yep. Thor 2 looks like it won't be better than 1 with all that dumb slo-mo stuff. I'd say the best sequel is Empire Strikes Back because it was better than Movie 1. Aliens wasn't. Terminator 2 maybe? X-Men new Days of the past future and present and wherever else in whatever else timeline doesn't look better than First Class. If anything, it feels like it could've been made without First Class. 

Not enough buzz for a Cap movie. Hopefully this is better than the first movie or Iron Man's 2 or 3.

This's coming from me, who doesn't invest a lot of time in gaming.
