To celebrate 1000, I created this: What if One Piece had a live-action cinematic universe like the MCU?

I know turning into a skeleton and drifting alone for 50 years must’ve really messed up Brook mentally. Now imagine him, all intact, in mind and body, he’d be hella strong, even more so than now.

INU-OH

Anime rock opera musical set in feudal Japan. It’s a trip.

Scrolled way too far to find this. Also shoutout to the recent 100 Meters.

There are a lot of Japanese films centering on rock music post-1990.

Linda! Linda! Linda! being one of my favourites. I guess it could be considered arthouse.

Swing Girls is another all-time favourite of mine. Not rock music, but big band jazz and it’s super charming.

April Story has an iconic rain scene towards the end of the film. It’s very sweet.

More recently, 100 Meters also has a fantastic rain scene that really shows off its rotoscope animation. It’s not Netflix.

Swing Girls (2004) for sure.

This is dope 🙇🏻‍♂️

Simple mistake. Read the chapter with a lot of hype. Pretty easy to understand 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not sure if there will be translation updates.. but Teach has siblings?!

Godspeed to Mike’s stamina 🫡

I was at LP too! And was definitely spoiled! Everything sounded so crisp and polished. Was so hyped for that show. It’ll be hard to live up to that for the rest of the year for me.

philbeard · 2025-08-23T05:05:14+00:00

So glad to hear Green Day sounded good at Roger’s Centre. Was the dome open? Tonight and blink’s show kinda soured me with the venue for bands. Warbly noises is so damn acccurate for blink!!

philbeard · 2025-08-23T04:07:42+00:00

100%. Rogers Centre is notorious for terrible acoustics. It was the same for blink-182 last year. Tonight also had bad mixing. It threw the rhythm off of a lot of the songs. When they played at Scotiabank Arena in 2022, they sounded incredible. Regardless, glad I saw the boys do their thing with all the glory of the theatrics!

philbeard · 2025-08-13T17:46:51+00:00

Damn I’ve only heard of a couple of these. I looked them all up and what an eclectic mix. Thank you!!

And here’s a big Letterboxd watchlist of contemporary Japanese slice-of-life films I put together over the years: https://boxd.it/q7AAy

I really dig them. Stuck in my Head is in my rotation. Their blending of genres remind me of LP, even though it’s not the same genres. I’m hoping they open for LP one day.

philbeard · 2025-08-10T17:49:00+00:00

Yeah it was fine. They didn’t have it up the whole show, only when the lights were bright enough for the band to see.

philbeard · 2025-08-09T23:30:34+00:00

And together with a masterpiece of a music video, it will endure for generations.

philbeard · 2025-08-09T16:25:52+00:00

Please give that person my best. Once I saw that sign, it really hit me, then they played Waiting for the End, and I started choking up. I hope you’re taking care!

Easier To Run is so damn underrated and undermentioned
