Let’s check out the show.
Lee watched the whole first season before it was finalised to help get some inspiration for Afterlife.
Its so well done.
You’re definitely on a trip constantly.
Watching the show helped Lee when writing some of the lyrics for Afterlife.
Whenever I’m involved in anything like this, I feel like it’s really important to getinthere.
See what you’re doing, even if you’re not writing the whole thing.
I gravitate towards the same modes because that’s just what my voice does when I open my mouth.
So there’s tempo and mood and substance.
All those things are there for you and you get to interpret that.
Lee is a gamer, though she admits she has never played a Devil May Cry game.
I was looking at my interviews today and I was like, damn, I failed, she laughs.
I haven’t played the game, but I’m aware of it.
I know what the imagery is.
I’ve seen gameplay.
I know what it is a lot more now after being involved.

[But] on a new TV, it looks so bad.

I’ve been busy, but it feels really good to be busy right now.
Resident Evil, she says before laughing, That’s too scary, I was trying to think zombies.
You know, Bring Me to Life, dead.
When I get stuck writing music, I love to paint and create things.
That’s always been my go-to other thing.
I’ve always loved animation in general because it’s art.
It’s moving art and anything is possible.
You have to think about special effects or making something look real.
If you’re free to imagine it, then it can happen.
when she talked about Studio Ghibli.
There used to be a lot of little fun teenagery shows that I watched back in high school.
Inuyasha and stuff, Lee says.
That was like my guilty pleasure that I couldn’t really tell anybody about.
I owned like a bunch of Tenchi.
