I saw Kaibutsu (Monster) by Kore-eda Hirokazu.
I’m a big fan of this director and Kaibutsu did not disappoint! Kore-eda perfectly weaves powerful commentary on many issues within Japan while providing a very gripping narrative.
This will be a film I think about for a long time!
This month: we’ll be playing as Amy Rose in Sonic Origins Plus, (likely) revisiting the Open Zones in Sonic Frontiers DLC Wave 2, and watching more multiverse adventures in Sonic Prime.
I’m not sure what else could be coming for Sonic’s birthday, but I’m definitely very excited!
I’m at the Morning Musume ‘23 concert today! It’s been years since I’ve been to one of these!
And once this is over, I’m immediately exiting and re-entering the venue to see ANGERME perform!
The Japanese release of Creed III does have the Creed Shinjidai anime at the end of it and it’s wild!
It’s like a sci-fi boxing tournament that takes place on Mars… and the boxers have superpowers and glow!
I’m not making this up! It was not at all what I was expecting!
This is the closest I’m going to get to an IDW crossover, isn’t it…?
Not to brag or anything, but they did use my birthday for the sample on the daily calendar… which means Sonic the Hedgehog basically celebrates my birthday!

I am ALL OF ME! I am ALL OF ME! I am-- I am ALL OF ME!! I am ALL OF ME, Dr. Robotnik! I am ALL OF ME!
I can’t get over how damn cool they’ve been making Shredder look in TMNT: Splintered Fate and the IDW comics. Seriously, we’ve been getting banger design after banger design!
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 and it was incredible! Some scenes were hard to watch, but it left me in tears!
Knights of the Zodiac / Saint Seiya: The Beginning is not a very good movie.
However, it has these small cracks where brilliance shines through. The way they incorporated the Pegasus Fantasy theme is definitely one of them as it’s very well done!
I saw Knights of the Zodiac, though it’s probably better known as Saint Seiya.
It wasn’t as bad as Dragon Ball Evolution, but it certainly brought back some bad memories!
Mario Movie had the same climax as Sonic 2.
-Villain gets magic item
-Terrorizes hometown of hero
-Heroes knock it out of bad guy's reach
-Hero is beat up and struggles to get item
-Hero(es) seem to die, but appears in a super form
-Villain attacks, but it's useless
-Heroes easily win
I saw The Super Mario Bros. Movie!
I tried to give it a fair shake and while it got a lot of things right, it left me wanting more.
With the sad news about layoffs and changes with IDW, I wish I could say I was surprised about some of the reactions I’ve seen. Though we don’t know how or if this will have any changes for the Sonic the Hedgehog series, it’s still unfortunate.
Some anti-IDW fans have expressed how happy they are about the news.
What’s wrong with you? Because you don’t like a comic or Ian Flynn, you’re celebrating hardships for people? Fans lose a comic they love, people lose their jobs/income, and families are going to be affected.
Are you this aggressively selfish and deep in your own hate echo-chamber that you want this to end? You just want to see people get hurt and don’t care about the lives of those affected. From literally wishing that writers would die to cheering on negative news like this, it really is disgusting.
I disliked The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but you don’t see me going on and on about how I want Tears of the Kingdom to fail. I simply hear the news and move on.
Do the same and stop being such assholes.
I am against any violence in the idol world.
Since I started seeing news of sexual violence by people against idols, I was thinking about what I could do in my position to oppose any kind of violence in the idol world while thinking about the issues surrounding idols.
I realize that many workplaces often have an environment that has unfair power relations that can cause mental and physical pain to people. This exists in the world of idols too.
After watching some daily coverage, (I've noticed it's not reported on TV), I realized that this is not just a matter of specific groups, but also pertains to everyone involved within the idol world. However, there have probably been very few statements of solidarity about the events being reported by the those involved with idols or other voices speaking out to prevent harassment. This is my personal story, but because I've been in the idol world since I was 10-years-old, I haven't been able to get rid of the rules and values that I've internally rationalized until now. I keep thinking about words I’ve said in the past. I understand that it takes a lot of effort to think about it as an individual, a group, a company, and an industry. I have had a very hard time looking back at what I have done before. However, I think the way the idol world is built means everything needs to be re-evaluated. I would be happy if we could talk together about what structures idols have been working under so far, how they have been hurt, and how we can improve this working environment in the future. And I express my solidarity with all the courageous people who have spoken out about sexual violence and sexual harassment. Last, but not least, I have a request to all my fans. Through events like this, I've seen a lot of comments and messages that make me think about "idol/fan" relations.
It’s not just about what happens solely within the idol industry. There’s probably no correct answer to be found, nor is it possible for someone to show you exactly what needs to be done.
I just wonder if everyone reading this could ignite a change in the perception of "idols/fan" relations or create a warm place for everyone. If you agree and share this sentiment then please leave a message of support in the comments section of this post. If you have trouble sending messages, it’s fine for you to reply with only stamps. I hope this post and comment section will be used as a place for solidarity with the courageous people who have spoken up against sexual violence and for them to feel that they are not alone. Now, I am the only person who can speak from my own voice like this. But I hope that in the future, idols, everyone involved with idols, and fans can work together to improve this work environment.
