Announcements & Introductions / Re: Checking in From the Crypt

Thanks! I'll join. A bit to catch up on but I've seen the show so many times I can probably skip a lot of the side stories and catch up more quickly.

There's a BeeTrainFan Discord Chat link on this forum, under the Announcements & Introductions section.

We just rewatched episode 12 of Noir yesterday. Next rewatch is Wednesday 10:00 PM EDT.

Oh thanks so much for informing me! I do use discord for many groups. Please send me an invite to join! I’ll join the Noir rewatch as well. What episode are you on? I can play catch up.

Hello hayama! I do remember you!

Our forum might not see much use anymore, but I have been running a Bee Train Fan Discord since 2017. You are most welcome to join us.
We have a small community of mostly close-knit friends who met on this very forum and we have managed to remain relatively active.
We host video game streams every evening and we also occasionally play games together, stream movies or anime. It's been fun!

Bee Train wise, we are currently in the middle of a Noir rewatch, which I'm streaming every week.
I've also been running a Madlax RPG, choose your own adventure type of story, updated daily.
And of course, the infamous caption threads are also alive and well and updated weekly.

Announcements & Introductions / Checking in From the Crypt

« Last post by hayama on April 23, 2024, 04:06:06 PM »

Hello! I used to post here way back in the day and was restarting Madlax when I thought of here. I'm happy that the page is still up! I'm nostalgic a lot for the forums of my teens, they seem like somewhat of a relic of a time when the internet was a fun place to be (pre social media).

I'm not sure how many people still check here but I am curious. I never joined the viewing parties but a rewatch of Noir or Madlax with fellow fans seems really fun (tough to find them irl). Not sure if people still do that, but even binging with a couple people would be great, especially now that I have the files and Discord to stream simultaneously.

I think I've probably posted some of them here, but I'll close with a number of Yuki Kajiura tracks (and one Phantom Requiem) I've posted on Youtube through the years:

'Miyazaki is old and has lived a life where he was able to carve out a niche for him to follow his passion. He sees the world he lived in and wanted more.
Animators and Mangaka today are often young-ish men who are faced with the growing issues of their generation, a growing estrangement from the world, and the prospects of a life that they know will not hold the wonders they dream of. Animation today rejects the world that rejected them.

Bee Train Role Playing Game / Re: TRAIN OOC

« Last post by MartAnimE on March 30, 2024, 07:14:58 AM »

I'm sorry to announce that I have decided to cancel the TRAIN RPG. I apologize for the disappointment and I appreciate all of you who stuck around for so long. I take full responsibility for its failure and don't blame any of the players. It just became obvious to me that the game never quite took off with the engagement I had envisioned for the story, and what little enthusiasm was left for this project has completely died out. However, this was not a total loss, I'll take my lessons from it and apply it to any future projects. My next RPG will be quite different, and I already have some ideas, but I'll post more about it in the near future!
