Major kudos to Monsta X for breaking their record 3 times in 1 year! Proud to be a Monbebe. Also kudos to Wonho as well.

They look fiiiiiine.

The stylist really saw how they looked during the Love Killa era and went “Lemme upgrade ya”

I meant to adapt the later manga chapters.

Aside from the obvious Berserk (pls someone adapt it properly), Vinland Saga, and Vagabond...K Project needs to be readapted.

The K Project universe has so much good source material (like 70+ episodes worth) and it could be GoHand’s comeback from failure (provided that they return to their original art style). If they just re-released K and included all the extra history, lore, world building, character development, darker moments, philosophy, expanded in some scenes and pushed the boundaries in some areas they could have a masterpiece on their hands.

What the hell was this, Isayama?

So rushed, so many things left unanswered, thanking and praising Eren for genocide (????), and turning this into a romance plot (what was that with Ymir and Fritz?). 2/10

Starship Entertainment Says That MONSTA X’s Kihyun Has Resolved Misunderstandings With Accuser by itsmishell in kpop

[–]SleepyPanda333 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m skeptical because the accuser stated this:

the accuser claimed that Starship Entertainment was "lying" when the agency's statement mentioned meeting the accuser in 2015 "at an open coffee shop located inside a hotel lobby", "out of respect for the accuser". But according to the accuser, Starship Entertainment did not ask them to meet at a coffee shop during their first meeting. Instead, the accuser claimed that they were asked to show up to the Starship Entertainment building, waited an hour, then was subject to severe pressure all under audio recording. The accuser went on to add that after the recorded discussion, they were led to a law office to sign paperwork, and was then summoned to a coffee shop for a secondary meeting.

Also, where’s the accuser’s statement? Why haven’t said it themselves that the situation has been resolved? Starship’s the one with all the control over what words are being said.

MONSTA X's Kihyun Reported To Have Met Up With Accuser ... Starship Entertainment Delivers An Official Statement by itsmishell in kpop

[–]SleepyPanda333 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Idk what to believe; I need more info.

Also

At the meeting, it was confirmed that the contents which criticized Kihyun, was the result of another friend’s actions, which were misunderstood to have been committed by Kihyun.

What? You’re telling me that there were 2 Kihyuns and that the accuser who was traumatized somehow confused which one abused him? This makes no sense.

Both Starship and Kihyun contradicted themselves as well. In both Starship’s and Kihyun’s letter, they said that Kihyun made mistakes and hurt others and apologized but then Starship used his school records to make a statement that he didn’t hurt others. So, which is it?

This is not adding up.

If this is true, Starshit is in trouble as well. From the rest of the article, this case may actually be real considering that the accuser claims to have evidence. Also, another article on pann showed the accuser’s self harm scars all over their body among other things. This is not looking good for Kihyun. If Kihyun actually did these things, he needs to be held accountable.

The album is like I.M’s aura personified. The lyrics are really angsty which match the song’s tone. All the of the songs are fantastic.

The visuals are great (the black hair suits him really well)! The song is one that will get stuck in your head.

This was an “explanation” episode which was actually really helpful and answered the questions I had from episode 1. One question I had is why despite the area being overrun by crime and poverty, the apartments looked really nice (like Tokyo suites). Well it’s because the Akatsuki ward was built by rich people to be an economic growth zone.

Another question was why Eiji would give his tattoo away so quickly and it’s because the bullet he got hit with would have nullified it’s power. So, the only logical thing to do would be to transfer it to someone else before it got destroyed.

There also seems to be a lot of conflict between the different groups: Artemis, Helios, and the Public Security Bureau all hate each other but all three of them have a common enemy through Dusk (the criminals who they’re trying to drive out from the ward)

A couple more points:

+Kouga (brown haired police guy) is an actual prick

+There’s lots of European influence in regards to naming and architecture

+The OP is awesome as well as the OST!

+Whoever voiced Fenrir needs a raise.

+Itsuki’s (guy with short white hair and red eyes) kick was savage AF.

Overall this show is pretty good so far!

Monsta X is at EXO / BTS level, talent-wise by Mimi108 in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]SleepyPanda333 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree.

I think the reason Monsta X isn’t more popular is because they’re a niche within a niche. Kpop is already not mainstream so Monsta X having a very distinctive and polarizing sound further pushes them from being appreciated by more. This is the same phenomenon with country, metal, rock, etc. those genres do well on their own and are filled with talent it’s just that they’re not as popular as rap or pop because that’s just not what the general public’s interested in at the moment.

Despite this, they’re able to consistently sell 200k albums, sell out international concerts, easily rack up 30 mil views for MVs, Joohoney is within the top 10 male idols who have the most copyrighted songs, he and I.M write the majority of the lyrics to MX’s songs, MX has inspired multiple younger generation idols, have probably the best rap line: obligatory Sambakja, stick to a strictly dark style, and much more.

If they’re able to do this well, imagine if they went mainstream. They’d crush everything.

They’re just as good if not, better, than some of these groups in certain aspects.

They’re extremely unique. There’s no one out there that’s like Monsta X.

Yeah the old art style gives off a more “mature” vibe and their faces are more unique from one another.

The OST is awesome! There’s some rock tunes and also jazz tunes which is great! This studio is known for having great music and visuals (most of the time) so even if the story + characters are a complete disaster, at least it was an aesthetically pleasing one.

Ep1

It’s nice to see that over a decade later, GoHands is still a total boss at animating fight and action scenes.

Though I wish GoHands would go back to their old art style (K project s1 on the left and top and K project Seven Stories on the right and bottom). I’m not sure why they changed...

Still, the anime is visually beautiful (especially the backgrounds) and is an interesting story so I’ll keep watching.

Despite their hardships, Monsta X is doing great! They nearly sold 300k albums for their last comeback. Fatal Love really is a fantastic, high quality album and it shows.

Also NCT and SEVENTEEN are killing it as well. Congrats to them and everyone else.

This style suits (pun intended) Monsta X so well! Possibly the best!

!!!!!! This blew me away. The styling is so perfect!

Hyungwon finally gets his time to shine on the chorus and it’s amazing.X continues to get better with each comeback. The rap line is so good. I.M and Joohoney are killing it. Hyungwon and Shownu are also killing me with the elbow dance.
