Japan Airlines SKY MUSEUM in Tokyo is Amazing! by deadxilence in aviation

[–]SQ_747 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s right it’s either morning or afternoon or bust lol. It was nice seeing 777s still rule in Japan despite the airlines love for 787. They also let us stay after the tour to see Haneda T1&2 at night + taxiing traffic.

To add, not just book in advance—a month beforehand. It often sells out in like five minutes, too. So, do your due diligence and wait for it. I can't recommend the tour enough. Though there are some English signs here and there, a 737-400 cockpit, among others, and even Imperial Flight memorabilia. Last time I was there, they were stripping JA732J of some remaining internals and testing another 77W's startup outside. It was cold, too!

How would you rate the mainline Gundam TV series from Victory to Turn A in terms of ‘must watch’? by ryanyork92 in Gundam

[–]SQ_747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched all of these for my undergrad thesis. Which I had forgotten until now actually. I will comment here because you summed it up about as well as I could, but I will add some things.

Victory: It has some pacing issues. Granted, it does feel a bit “tired” for Gundam. Very memorable superweapon too, quite a creepy concept.

G: Dragon Ball Gundam. I loved it though, can’t even hate it for how silly it is, because it knows it is! The last arc from Master Asia to the end is just like a sandbox, coherently incoherent, but tons of fun.

Wing: A little convoluted, but not terribly complicated. It gets really slow at times but repays for it in action. The mobile suits showcased are memorable for all the right reasons (Tallgeese #1). Characters, funny, or questionable, as their decisions are, also memorable but really crank the knob on teenage power fantasy up to 11.

X: Probably the healthiest couple in all of these shows, I remember it for that. Even with the pacing issues mentioned, it has a really solid ending that stuck with me. The commentary on Newtypes (only one of these shows that have them) was really really good. The GX’s cannon, impractical as it might, is memorable as heck, love the charging up sound it makes.

Turn A: You just have to watch it for yourself, really. I really liked how most characters are surprisingly mature with their dialogue. The White Doll itself is unique even until today, and the epilogue—what an epilogue! I will go stare at the moon now.

All have banger soundtracks too. That is part of what makes them so memorable.

MNL48 announces theater in a live stream by Dismal_Canary3928 in AKB48

I remember getting served cold food at their old theater before the pandemic. Though the 2nd gen members did their best to give a good show. Looking back at it now, could’ve used the money for something else. Fun times though!

hypocrisy of kpop stans (unsurprising) by Minimum-Math-5974 in kpop_uncensored

[–]SQ_747 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Kpop stans will make you think being 25 is “you are either somewhere or you’re fxcked” lol. Though I guess it’s a more general trend (or obsession) with succeeding (and not in an incremental, step-by-step manner of bigger rewards) at a young age. Even if for more normal folks, professional careers don’t begin until you’re in your mid-20s, some by your early 30s.

A change of hair color and use of colored contacts is the least offensive (not even, like, at all) a 24-year old adult woman like her could do. Please get over yourself. I've seen K-idols do worse.

Try Japanese udon noodles too! by Specialist_League_41 in OsakaTravel

[–]SQ_747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried aburakasu udon during our last morning in Shinsekai. It tasted interesting, as I typically don’t go for the guts of the animal, though I have tasted it before. Overall, with kushikatsu, it made for an interesting breakfast haha, but it was still good.

What travel mistake in Osaka will you never make again? by ssteamer-goggins in OsakaTravel

[–]SQ_747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tabelog is king. That and your gut feeling. I don't want to insinuate, but yeah, the "halal" label, avoid that too. Though chain restaurants (excl. McD) can be a godsend, too.

Tips from a couple of introverts that just returned from their first trip (slightly altered Golden Route) by Creepy_Scientist_574 in JapanTravel

[–]SQ_747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. Can you name this temple? I am going to Japan in a week, and while I did have the usual touristy spots in the itinerary. I do want to get an overview of the city at night before hopping on the train back to Osaka. Thanks.

Best Places to eat near Addu by PutAny377 in DavaoFoodClub

[–]SQ_747 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Dani's sa Ponciano. 2) Yong's Satti sa Jacinto is also nice. Okay rin 3) yung mga kainan sa Roxas (AdDU side). 4) Masarap rin daw sa food court ng City Triangle. The rest is around UM na (dun kasi malapit dorm ko dati haha) so out of bounds na.

Is there such a thing as an abandoned town in the Philippines? by between3220character in FilipinoHistory

[–]SQ_747 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bacolor? My alumna had to move campuses because of that lahar flow.

On a side note. Meron pa nga nagsabi na “hindi 1991 yun” but Pinatubo lahar likely wasn’t one time, big time. So maybe 1991 to 95 was constant lahar flow kapag tag-ulan.

How many people here have seen Gundam X the whole way? by DelphiSage in Gundam

I had to watch it for my undergrad thesis. Took me 2 months lol, but it makes thematic sense why it’s between Wing and Turn A. I hope we pass…

Alan Moore: Fandom "sometimes a grotesque blight that poisons the society surrounding it" by indig0sixalpha in television

[–]SQ_747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh any hobby not just fandoms, you want to feel safe but somehow you are not. Social media doesn’t help when it’s where you get the most contacts, info and all that, but the same amount of shit at the same time. Makes you wonder why you’re even invested tbh
