I do not have One Piece time. If I like it I'll make time for it, but I don't even know if I want to make time for one volume. With certain things I tend to start at the anime and see if I like that enough to get into the manga. I heard enough things about the anime pacing so opt not to bother. This is definitely I'll do it when I feel like it thing with One Piece. I don't like shonen that much to really get into too many of them despite being very prevalent in here and the HxH threads.The 'best piece of fiction/literature' hyperbole is indeed nonsense. Even saying best manga ever is questionable, but that's inevitable with most fanbases.
I read 800+ chapters last year, and what I can say is that the first half is undoubtedly the best of shonen.
I'd eventually check out the first 100 chapters, and if you're not feeling those, you can bail tbh. But they're a good hook.
Just because he can draw doesn't mean he can draw characters in a style that I like. I got very used to Togashi's over time and like that, but I find Oda's designs way too over stylized. I really think it's just a me thing. Like early Attack on Titan is pretty rough, while later Attack on Titan is very good actually. I really think the Oda complaint is a me thing and I'd really have to find the time to get used to reading something that busy visually. I think guy in the suit and Ace are the ones I don't mind...Zorro's kind of ok, I'm not too wowed by Luffy personally and I don't like how Oda draws women. None of them are shaped in anything resembling a realistic fashion. Robin for example is a design and look that looks very good in cosplay for example, but I just don't like her in Oda's art style. That's pretty much the best way I can describe it.It's 2019 and people still saying stuff like "Oda doesn't know how to draw" smh
We needed to lighten up the mood and JoJolion is still 20 days awayThis is a god damn jojo theead, what is with all this damnable one piece?
Shaman king had the coolest, smoothest looking antagonist and a very fun battle system, Magi works in a sorta similar way in that regard so i thought i should try reading it... the problem with SK is that it was canceled and the anime had to go for an alternative ending... I don't remember if it died cause of bad sales, because, honestly, it had finished without an ending but SJ allowed it to come back only to be finished lolHonestly up to the rescue sasuke arc I think it's alright, after that it's just better to read a summary and go on youtube to watch any fights you think might be interesting.
Never read or watched Shaman King but I heard good things about it.
One Piece is pretty good for the feeling of ADVENTURE and that Oda is actually able to form a coherent plot and build a really intriguing world. It has its problems though, especially with the designs for women since it's so shonen focused, but overall it's a pretty good manga. It's really long so it's completely understandable if somebody finds that too much to try and pick up. Also because it only starts getting really good a ways into the story, probably once they cross over into the grandline I'd say though there are some pretty good arcs before that moment.
i didn't know that was a ripoff too, dang :(
I hear that the brazilian dub for a lot of stuff is really good, I grew up with english dubs for a lot of stuff since I was in the US at the time so I can never really relate to it, but it's a bit of national pride when I see the brazilian dubbing scene praised. Especially since there seems to be so little to be proud of Brasil at the moment.Shaman king had the coolest, smoothest looking antagonist and a very fun battle system, Magi works in a sorta similar way in that regard so i thought i should try reading it... the problem with SK is that it was canceled and the anime had to go for an alternative ending...

I still know the openings because, damn, the brazilian version for tjose was good. Our dub even made the insert songs...
Gonna weight the op opinions them decide whether I should try it, that 100 chapter tip helps a lot tbh
Is your family from around here? Man i miss the dubs so much, last one we got was opm and the localization was hilarious, but outside of netflix series and dragon ball our dub scene is dead...Inu yasha, Shaman King, YYH, all of those got dubbed op/eds, even hxh for open tv got it, i freaking love them... only op they didnt do was digimon adventure because people opted for the 4kids one, smh...I hear that the brazilian dub for a lot of stuff is really good, I grew up with english dubs for a lot of stuff since I was in the US at the time so I can never really relate to it, but it's a bit of national pride when I see the brazilian dubbing scene praised.

About One Piece, yeah I suppose that the first 100 chapters are basically used to get the crew together, not all of them mind you, explain the stakes and set up the world. I think it's a really good manga, not the best of all time, but it has a lot more thought and care put into it than most other shonen I'd say.
Noooooo
I call JoJolion the "rebound" part, had friends quitting on part 6 and 7 but every freaking one of them ADORES JoJolion, there's no bigger joy in weebdon than seeing someone read that thing blind
Yeah born and mostly raised here.Is your family from around here?

FMA:B dub was suberb and they did the injustice of airing it only once in a 3am slot...
Awesome! Saint seiya has to be dub, cause we're the only ones that care about it here.Yeah born and mostly raised here.
I guess in the age of the internet they're choosing to dub less and less unless it's DBZ or Saint Seiya.
Pretty much yeah lol.Awesome! Saint seiya has to be dub, cause we're the only ones that care about it here.

There is a One Piece Era if you ever decide to give it a shotGonna weight the op opinions them decide whether I should try it, that 100 chapter tip helps a lot tbh

Is polnaleff dying tomorrow btw?
I think they'll have to at least stop at the stairs D: iirc that fight is a bit shorter than giorno'sTomorrow is all Bruno vs Secco and will end with Doppio encountering Bruno

Black Lagoon is better than MHA though.
Mariip isn't talking bout MHA though.
Whatever it is there's an 85% chance that Black Lagoon is better than it.
I mean, you're right, but just sayingWhatever it is there's an 85% chance that Black Lagoon is better than it.
I just want her to read Black Lagoon, it's that shit that'll put hair on a persons chest regardless of gender.
Tiger and bunny is MHA but great. It's like OPM and MHA had a baby and it's sponsored by Pepsi, it's insane how fun it is and Tiger is such a nice tutor, and father. Only bad thig about it is the cgi, but mostly because the 2d art is so good @-@
oh no tell me its not open ended, i'd dieMan I love Tiger And Bunny. Really wish they had done a second season of that.

Ok, i'll just enjoy the show, the hero cast is so great >u<
Damn straight, there's a guy called Fire Emblem. A queer black man who's the head of some giant company. It's glorious.
Haha, he also has a more personal quest against diavolo, i think that's why people think he is the main character despite him not succeeding muchEverybody else: Bruno is so awesome, he's totally the main protagonist!
Me: Bruno only has the train fight going for him
Everybody: Pfft, man you bugging
Me:
Everybody

Why? It will probably just beI can't really make jokes about bruno knowing that next episode gonna be painful to watch :(
Bruno barely functioning while talking to not-trish was the most crushing bit about his arc to me, made his death feel like a relief :/Why? It will probably just beThe following week is going to be bad.Diavolo/Polnaref, Popol dies, Bucca almost dies, and then Requiem/Bucca lives?
I didn't think it was that bad till watching itI told y'all that people don't remember the Oasis half of Greenday and Oasis for a reason.
Wherever he was at that moment, Joseph smiled lolMy favourite thing was last episode.
Bruno, like a boss: Giorno, Mista, go get the man in the helicopter! I'll take care of the man underground!
Everyone: aaaah, Buccalati, so cool, so great.
[Ciocolatta dies, cool fight, back to Bruno. Sticky fingers exchanges a few punches with Oasis]
Bruno: Shit, that guy is stronger than me! Time to retreat!
I guess it's a zen koan. If you act cool when your friends are around, but you run away from the enemy when you're alone, do you stop being cool?
That's 2 vento aureo boys using the joestar technique

No one in the anime thread noticed the boss was looking specifically for Giorno or Narancia lol
;-;
I mean Stray Cat while stuffed inside of Killer Queen looked like a floating cat plant monstrosity.So Stands can't be seen by normal people.
You ever realize that Narancia vs. Squalo and Tiziano ended with what looked like a bleeding teenager T-posing over two dead guys.
All dat animation thoLOL A TRIPLE

Y'know it pains me to say it but... I really didn't like this episode. That's the first time i dont feel like rewatching an episode from this part :/ idk, this whole fight was my favorite from the manga because it had that split but now it feels like 2/3 of it were good and the last kept dragging for too long :/
