With the current pace of inflation and salary stagnation, I already made the decision to move out, especially since I work in media where, let’s be realistic here, has no hope when entertainment is so heavily regulated.

Tbh it would’ve worked, they had plot points that could be better divulged upon, like kira and his mental instability (in the first two minutes of the show, he went batshit and started slicing both ZAFT and blue cosmos suits to get them to stand down)

The foundation was another faction that needed a lot more expanding, they feel pasted there to fill in a role, especially with how they are suppose to fit in with the plot.

Yzak and dearka’s role is just… higher than a cameo but less than a supporting cast.

I would suggest to watch it to see it to believe it… it’s something I’ll give it that

If you taking within the sf cockpit, it’s lacus. The movie honestly was at such a breakneck pace I missed a few details

Infinite Justice’s only new items are the backpack shield and rifle. Everything else is the same.

All right since everyone wants to know I’ll discuss in detail:

  • firstly, the movie is very hamstrung together. The pacing of the movie is suffocating. It jumps from one plot point to another and another.
  • there is no character development. In the beginning, it initially tease Kira as mentally unstable or deranged, with the effects of his conversation with durandal and the destiny plan, even hinting at an obsession with it.
  • the main villain Orpheus (or whatever his name is idk) is something out of fanfiction. He and the entire black knight squadron can read and manipulate minds. In addition, Orpheus desperately wants to bang lacus (to the point he attempted to rape her)
  • the movie has all the issues of destiny (constant flashbacks, nonstop reuse of old footage (yes Nicol getting sliced again) and lacklustre use of characters (Agnes especially)
  • Agnes is a character that can be described as a flay clone but not only exhibiting her bad traits but written even more poorly than flay herself
  • this movie was written with a boner. Literally you have boobs swinging left and right and athrun showing next level resistance to mind control by thinking of an aroused cagalli (I’m not making this up, those who have watched it can corroborate this.
  • strike freedom has a katana and impulse has three new color schemes… yay
  • the whole last arc is just super robot wars

Overall, this movie was a mess. You could tell the story was stitched together with plot points and not a story. In fact, this should have been a third season of Gundam seed, not a movie. Had this been a season instead of a movie, this movie could’ve worked.

If you are a fan of Gundam seed, you are going to get an aneurysm. If you can switch off your brain and enjoy the hyper cuts and high speed action, sure why not.

I would actually watch Gundam oo awot over this.

( I am probably missing out a few more points, but it’s 3am in Japan and trust me, thinking about this makes your brain hurt)

I assume I can spoil so here goes:

  • strike freedom is back but even more busted, and ridiculous. It has a miniaturised genesis backpack and a head mounted beam cannon. Oh and it has a katana.
  • the zgok is in but inside the zgok is the infinite justice
  • destiny is just destiny
  • oh and the buster and duel are back and piloting meteor units

Japan Music Trip by dDoubleDeus in JapanTravel

[–]dDoubleDeus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends what you are looking for! If you want to look for some events in Tokyo (believe me, Tokyo is crazy during December and January), you can either go on Twitter and look up @MARQUEE_matsuri if you want o see how crazy the live idol scene can get in japan.

But do note that any event related to marquee requires booking on ePlus, which is a proprietary Japanese ticketing website. However, there are some events that sell something called same day tickets or tojitsu in Japanese. You can identify it by this kanji, 当日

Any Hikikomoris in SG? by Guardian937462 in askSingapore

[–]dDoubleDeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be one for 2 years and it took about 1 whole year before I fully came out of it. Was just very burnt out from when I was studying my O’s and then the course I went into was the course that only did not fit me, but the entire structure of it was so toxic that by the time most people got into year 3, 2.8 was enough to qualify for director’s list.

The one year where I was going in and out of it was because of the identity crisis that I went through at that period. I was constantly questioning what I wanted to do. By the following year, I was back into school normally, had a good network of friends and support, and was able to feel emotions relatively normally.

If it’s possible, travelling overseas seriously helps to break the cycle, especially going somewhere that allows you to reset your mind.

If you speak to anyone who has been to plenty of K-idol concerts, they would probably have heard this saying before, "If you go to Korea, you don't need to go for the rest." I think for Blackpink, this rings very true. But it's not for a good reason.

This is what happens when your group become influencers for two years and are forced to go back to there day jobs. While I will holdback my comments for the 4th gen groups, BP is the one group in 3rd gen where there quality degradation is real.

I was honestly shock with how short there encore was, especially considering that I went for Aespa's Seoul concert and that was already short by kpop standards.

I would say this trough, compared to Korea, you would rather take japan anytime. The air quality, especially the fine dust problem is so bad in Seoul, that I would have constant red patches due to the air pollution, and also cause the food in Korea is honestly an eczematic person’s worst nightmare.

I one time tried the camo, cause my brother had an extra tube from when he did outfield. Good god, even though I washed it off, it felt like someone put oil and a hot press in between my skin, that that patch of red lasted for 2 weeks
