Oddly enough, I think this is probably my first ever time seeing the official video for this song when they aren't performing it live in front of a crowd.

Blechnum magellanicum Remnants from a bygone era ( The Carboniferous Age: 358.9 - 298.9 mya ) before the rise of seed-bearing plants, the group collectively referred to as 'Tree Ferns' are the world's most primitive extant trees, reproducing using spores. Information about them is more scarce than better known groups which they superficially resemble, such as trees from the family, Arecaceae - the Palm Trees. One way to get a positive ID on Tree Ferns is to ascertain whether or not the tree in question has curled croziers emerging from its crown - if the tree has them, then it is a Tree Fern. The current convention in academia apparently stipulates that only the genera Cyathea, Dicksonia, Metaxyaceae and Cibotiaceae can be considered true Tree Ferns for some reason - possibly because it is believed that the former radiated out at an earlier point in geologic time. Tree Ferns will only grow in places where moisture is abundant, typically growing as a small understory tree under the protection of a sheltered forest canopy. Blechnum, which is a more obscure genus is considered an outlier. Like the 'proper' Tree Ferns of the aforementioned genera, it too has achieved arborescent form in some species. The species Blechnum magellanicum ( aka "Lomariocycas magellanicum" or simply the "Palmilla" ) is of particular interest because it inhabits the frigid coastal forests of Chile and Argentina from Talca at 35 degrees South to the Magallanes Region and into the humid valleys of Western Argentina close to the Chilean border. The species matures at around 1.5m tall and has large arching fronds that may exceed 1.8m long. It has been grown in the UK but is unfortunately extremely rare in cultivation. It is believed based on its native habitat that it can survive temperatures as low as -11.1 degrees Celsius and possibly even well below this temperature! It is believed to be ideally suited to a cool maritime climate. Instead of planting Livistona Palms in the UK and in the American Pacific Northwest, people should start planting these instead if this data holds true. I hope that Tree Ferns as a whole start receiving more attention in the future.

You basically converted the entire student body but still have nobody to talk to about the more mature titles? Surely the higher brow anime must resonate with somebody at your school? Then again, that doesn't necessarily mean that their parents subscribe to Crunchyroll either. I guess I can imagine what that would be like. Alas, there is always more work to be done. We are getting there though...slowly but surely.

I don't mean to ruin the holiday mood with imagery of greed, I just got heavy Xmas vibes from listening to the melody.

The "Evil is Sexy" trope... Evil is Sexy

What he said.

Occasionally I still get bitten by the metal bug every now and then...it does happen to me. Another favorite band from my childhood. I actually wonder how this song would sound like as a synthwave cover with all of the vocals still present?

I cannot comment on Aussieland, but in the US they are horrible. I am just going to let former schoolteacher John Taylor Gatto do the talking... More videos here: John Taylor Gatto TV

Marcus Aurelius was a very wise man. "The evil that men do lives after them" - from "Julius Caesar" by William Shakespeare.

Welcome to AF! It sounds like you jumped through a lot of hoops to feed your passion for anime. That took a lot of dedication.

I love them...they provide lots of fuel for dark comedies.
