What Filipino Art, Entertainment, or Media Stood Out to You in a Good Way?
For me, it's SB19 and Until Then.
SB19 learned what they could from the Korean system and took its own Filipino-based identity. They're an example of what Filipinos can do if they study and learn the best parts of foreigners and apply what is sensible to our needs. Frankly, they're more talented than BTS because SB19 can release a larger variety of music.
The storytelling in Until Then (on hold because I don't have time) is impressive up to where I am now (midway? slightly into the second half?) and has a similar polish and quality as visual novels like Steins;Gate and Clannad. The VN format fits perfectly in a Filipino context because Filipinos can create great stories and VNs are not capital-intensive to release.
I'll have to check out Until Then, I've been reading more VNs than books lately and enjoyed Steins;Gate so that sounds promising.
I like Up Dharma Down's old music and their new electronic stuff is growing on me.
Getting back into guitar and found Joko Reantaso on YouTube to be super talented. Think it's great more young artists are striking it out on their own and gaining recognition.
