i can’t imagine lodestar as anything but an empty island with a poneglyph on it

[wraith mantle]

isnt lodestar important if you didnt know about road poneglyphs

[fallen meteor]

new theory
lodestar is an island with a really big trampoline with an arrow pointing up saying 'to laughtale'

[trim lily]

yeah but it’s the final island by log pose

no way we’re not going there

[fallen meteor]

nobody can solve how to get to laughtale, tho...

[wraith mantle]

imagine wasting 20 chapters on an island we dont even need to go to

[royal orchid]

would you rather go to lodestar or vira

[wraith mantle]

neither

[fallen meteor]

vira

[trim lily]

the problem with vira is i only wanr some people to be proud of being right

the other vira believes don’t deserve it

[fallen meteor]

i am some people

[maiden saffron]

why would we skip the final island of the grand line

Luffy 100% wants to go there

[opal gulch]

and tbh same with laugh tale... we get there... we figure out the truth of the world and everything... i cant imagine either visit can exceed 5 chapters

[wraith mantle]

luffy will probably force us to go there like he did with elbaf

[trim lily]

please autocorrect stop changing want to wanr

[royal orchid]

Gaban literally knows how to btw

[maiden saffron]

he will specifically ask that he wants to go there

[royal orchid]

what a hack

[wraith mantle]

hopefully oda stands on business

[maiden saffron]

and it will be GLORIOUS !!

[hot cairn]

people used to say the same thing about a Vegapunk arc and Elbaph

look at us now

[wraith mantle]

vegapunk and elbaf are like important af

[royal orchid]

laugh tale arc will be Luffy vs BB for the one piece

[trim lily]

you’re so trueing

[hot cairn]

So is Lodestar

[wraith mantle]

lodestar is canonically unimportant since we already know about road poneglyphs

[trim lily]

blackbeard pirates vs strawhats will happen at and end on laughtale

[hot cairn]

you’re cooking hard this wonderful night

[maiden saffron]

I always cook

the oven is always warm

[opal gulch]

yeah i think the final war is gonna be at the shores of laugh tale

[hot cairn]

there will be no fighting in Laughtale tho

[trim lily]

i always keep my oven preheated at 500F

there will be

[royal orchid]

BB accidentally eats the one piece and dips

https://tenor.com/view/law-blackbeard-devil-fruit-kurozu-yami-gif-8963305209783234247

[maiden saffron]

what if there is a thing there

you know

something

[trim lily]

that thing

[opal gulch]

i really hope bb is the final villain but then i think who wants to take over and rule instead of the wg.... or maybe its not needed

[wraith mantle]

i mean tbf i do wanna go there

i wanna know what the island looks like lowkey

[hot cairn]

we need to see what is there

[opal gull]

LMAO

I thought the reason giants were sent to Egghead was because so some of them could survive, cause I had Elbaf being destroyed by the Motherflame when Luffy and co arrive there. I just wanted to skip Elbaf so badly and I dont even remember why lol

[hot cairn]

Lodestar isnt getting skipped

[trim lily]

the four way emperor battle is happening at lodestar after all

with the burn scar man there

[hot cairn]

you guys were tweakin fr

Elbaph was always happening

[maiden saffron]

See

there you go

[hot cairn]

so is Lodestar

[maiden saffron]

that's reason enough my friend

[opal gull]

😭

[maiden saffron]

we love our silly litte adventure story

that's grown too big and serious

[opal gull]

Lodestar will happen

[wraith mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/hype-dance-excited-lets-go-oh-yeah-gif-17953674

[trim lily]

i remember voting that neo mads would show up at egghead, not the giants

mostly for the bit

[hot cairn]

Lodestar Arc Soon

[wraith mantle]

i want the final one piece battle to be a 4 way davy back fight

strawhats vs bb pirates vs cross guild vs imu and holy robbos

[dense haven]

buggy will become pk

Oda please let them do something

[trim lily]

they’ll do something

[maiden saffron]

Luffy pulling up with his 5 million strong alliance, imu pulling up with the whole navy, all cipher pol units and the holy knights and elders

[trim lily]

it’ll just be offscreen

[maiden saffron]

Buggy pulling up with croc, mr 1 and mihawk

[royal orchid]

for some reason my shift didn't register ugh

oh well

[opal gull]

Shanks and Luffy together will defeat BB and Cross Guild

[trim lily]

if shuggy isn’t canon then what’s the point of keeping him alive

[maiden saffron]

This gif is awesome Lmfao

imagine rotoscoping this with some op character

[wraith mantle]

lmao yeah

[trim lily]

oop

[royal orchid]

what is esports even about

[trim lily]

educational sports

[wraith mantle]

bro esports is actually getting big

them nerds can make hella money if they win tourneys

[trim lily]

it already hit its peak a year or two ago

[maiden saffron]

esports is huge, probably a lot bigger than you expect

[hot cairn]

three people and a dream lmaooo

that sounds hilarious

[opal gulch]

the final war is gonna be like wano but x3... all the old fav characters are coming back, its gonna be cameo after cameo... so we have to keep up with 20+ scenes....... i hope not, oda be brave and just cut characters off

[royal orchid]

it's peak was OWL
10M dollar reward pool

[maiden saffron]

a counter-strike professional that MAKES it into a major tournament (doesnt perform well, doesnt win, just APPEARS) pockets around 100k usd

[royal orchid]

like 2018 or something

[maiden saffron]

and they have a chance to qualify for the major 2 times a year

[trim lily]

i forgot how old owl was

[maiden saffron]

no

[trim lily]

can’t believe i used to watch that lmao

[maiden saffron]

it was a Dota 2 International

with a 42 million prize pool

Lmfao

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-flight-surprised-shocked-gif-14940640833910619525

[fallen meteor]

owl

[maiden saffron]

but those are ... prize pools

[trim lily]

meowl

[fallen meteor]

i think i tried following the first one maybe

[maiden saffron]

esports nowadays is bigger even though prizes are smaller

the money is more distributed

in a healthier manner

Anyway

BACK TO OP GETTING TOO SIDE TRACKED OH MY GOD

[fallen meteor]

in watch its probably some league worlds

[maiden saffron]

(you should)

[fallen meteor]

in prize is the dota one

[trim lily]

we’ve ran out of one piece to talk about

[dense haven]

league in 2026

[fallen meteor]

no more piece

zero piece

[opal gull]

[fallen meteor]

one piece minus one

[royal orchid]

nah I'm asking about that 42M
dota 2 tournaments had 1M prize for last place or something?? wtf

[wraith mantle]

is it true this chapter was unfinished art-wise?

[fallen meteor]

we need to wait for it tomorrow

[maiden saffron]

the internationals at their peak were unbelievably lucrative

[wraith mantle]

i saw some on twitter say this

[fallen meteor]

the ai upscaling is fucked up this week

[trim lily]

the only thing i know about dota is hector farming a 13 minute on gleipnir

[maiden saffron]

the chapter looks so dogshit

i havent even reread it Lmfao

[fallen meteor]

whats the name of the item they keep saying

[maiden saffron]

usually i always do

[royal orchid]

hook a brother up with the arabic scans

[maiden saffron]

gonna read the official today

those arabs know what they're doing man

[fallen meteor]

dolfius help me

[maiden saffron]

good on them

[fallen meteor]

its the

[trim lily]

idk

[fallen meteor]

i dont have it

[trim lily]

that’s all i remember of the bit

[fallen meteor]

dude its like drums or something

i'm really googling items dota 2

[maiden saffron]

gonna rewatch all one piece openings back to back

brb

[trim lily]

i have a soft spot for opening 19 even though it’s bad

[wraith mantle]

drop your top 3 after

[maiden saffron]

easy

[trim lily]

it thought zoro and sanji would 2v1 jack

[fallen meteor]

it might be this sorry

[maiden saffron]

1. One Day
2. We Are
3. Over the top

although, a lot of the earlier openings are all bangers

[honest garden]

The scans were low quality and got passed through a neural network to clean it

[wraith mantle]

which one is one day

[maiden saffron]

and they each have a huge soft spot in my heart

[maiden saffron]

marineford

[wraith mantle]

oh the ace death one

[trim lily]

i wonder what they were thinking when making superpowers

[wraith mantle]

very emotional yeah

[fallen meteor]

thats when zoro opened up his eyes

[maiden saffron]

superpowers is such a dogshit op

dont know why it has so many views on yt

Lmfao

[fallen meteor]

i love supwerpowers it has aliens going 'suu peer poo weeers'

[honest garden]

OPscans used AI I think, TCB took the approach I mentioned

[wraith mantle]

my top 3:

angel and devil
share the world
water 7

[fallen meteor]

bro really said supwer

[honest garden]

Neither had good results

[trim lily]

i assume they do upscaling for basically all their scans

[maiden saffron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CV5vYtD6mA

[trim lily]

but it was extra rough this week

[maiden saffron]

4K "60FPS"

dawg

just

why man

[trim lily]

scum of the internet

[honest garden]

They do cleaning

[maiden saffron]

just 4K would be great

[honest garden]

Uhm

[royal orchid]

someone linked it to me here but the message was deleted

[honest garden]

More frames = more good though

[trim lily]

yeah but i imagine they can’t do that for every page and detail, they’d basically be redrawing the entire chap at that point lmao

[wraith mantle]

since all ex-warlords will join cross guild, will jimbei jump ship again?

[royal orchid]

https://animeallstar30.com/الفصل-1180-من-مانجا-ون-بيس/

this website has the arabic scans though

[trim lily]

not all of them are joining

[honest garden]

Granted, but it just looks terrible the way they did it

[maiden saffron]

first time i've seen an arabic link

not joking

[wraith mantle]

i saw the arabic translation teams beefing this week lol

[maiden saffron]

that's crazy

[trim lily]

oh yeah i agree

the raws were probably really rough this week

[fallen meteor]

opscans is so funny dude

[maiden saffron]

Imu’s full body look was sick

Blew up Gunko

Chopping Gerd’s fingers off was kinda nasty

[restive lintel]

Garp at Hachinosu top 5 performance ever

[royal orchid]

in the end he really was a liar

[hot cairn]

opening 26 will always have a special place in my heart

[restive lintel]

Franky will fix them

[trim lily]

this was easily the best colour page opscans put out in egghead

[hot cairn]

it’s so peak

[fallen meteor]

i hope imu reversis gerd and stansen

[maiden saffron]

is it angel and devil?

[fallen meteor]

what the hell

[royal orchid]

what is happening

[hot cairn]

nope

[trim lily]

i kid you not this was in the chapter

[hot cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/egghead-one-piece-luffy-zoro-sanji-gif-8632101680453080308

[trim lily]

it was when kizaru was chasing the cloud machine vegapunk and franky were on

[maiden saffron]

love the earlier openings so much, the feeling they give off man

[hot cairn]

@maiden saffron

[maiden saffron]

oh yeah that one is phenomenal

most openings have been tbh

i'd go as far to say that this recent one is one of the weaker ones, even though it's really good still

[fallen meteor]

youtube keeps giving me 'reacting to all one piece openings blind' and ngl i watch it every time just to watch the openings

[maiden saffron]

i sometimes watch reactions to one piece

[small ember]

Bon Voyage>>

[maiden saffron]

its a guilty pleasure

[hot cairn]

they don’t even have super powers…

[trim lily]

i cant do reaction content for shows anymore

[maiden saffron]

love people screaming when luffy punches the big bad villain guy

[trim lily]

it feels so fake

[small ember]

Openings peaked pre timeskip

It makes me relive myself watching it for the first time

[fallen meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-dance-moves-grooves-locking-gif-17797839

[opal gull]

they are

[fallen meteor]

we got superpowers

[maiden saffron]

nah ... They're great nowadays too

[red lagoon]

I love watching people watch SABAODY

[maiden saffron]

earlier ones just hold a dear place in people's hearts

[wraith mantle]

i always look up reactions to luffy first gear 2 lol

[maiden saffron]

i love how they all had Roger quotes in the beginning

[hot cairn]

this sucks fr, Idk why people like this 60 fps thing

[red lagoon]

Wats wrong wit 60fps

[small ember]

I like We Go, Over the Top, and the Egghead one

[trim lily]

theres a few genuine people who actually contribute with their discussion or feel genuine but in most cases its just

[small ember]

Hands up is alright

[hot cairn]

you wished Jinbe left

[wraith mantle]

hands up is lowkey underrated

[small ember]

But man the first six openings of one piece

[opal gull]

like I see people reacting to some very popular songs that came out years ago

and they pretend as if they are hearing it for the first time

"hmm... Oh WOW THIS SOUNDS SICK"

shut the fuck up clown

[wraith mantle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/jose-mourinho-sweet-trouble

i still need to make my face reaction channel where i watch one piece openings and say 'i heard vira is crazy' and ask every new island if its vira

[small ember]

The EDs too

[fallen meteor]

i know it's going to go triple platinum

[red lagoon]

What if they are hearing it for the first time

[maiden saffron]

I don't think they're being genuine in their reactions or anything

it's just kind of fun sometimes

[trim lily]

i remember that

[hot cairn]

not when “Us” exists

[small ember]

Oh what???? That’s awful

[fallen meteor]

i think his wife was sick

[hot cairn]

and the peak (Op 25)

[honest garden]

Animation is overwhelmingly done in 24 frames (i.e. 24 different drawings) per second at MOST. The choice of framerate determines the sort of speed (smooth, choppy) of the animation, it can be as low as 12/8 fps depending on the budget/style

[trim lily]

i love when openings try to predict future events

[small ember]

I’ll give it a shot one day…

I also have not consistently watched the anime in a while

[royal orchid]

tv stations speeding up the 24fps animation into 29,997fps

[fallen meteor]

blackbeard showing up on that one where they are all dripped up

[honest garden]

60 FPS adds interpolation, computer generated additional frames, which smooth out the animation in a way that removes a lot of it's momentum

[trim lily]

turns out things arent meant to be at double their intended frame count

[maiden saffron]

its not necessarily that 60fps is bad, if an animation was made in 60fps it'd look great. But 60fps that we see is usually interpolated and it looks mushed up and weird, and flows very inconsistently. Completely butchers the artistic intent in a lot of scenes.

[royal orchid]

what if we just keep adding inbetweens...

[trim lily]

we need 120fps anime

[royal orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-trio-luffy-zoro-sanji-luffy-zoro-sanji-gif-4034576969416870799

[small ember]

https://youtu.be/ToGv-rTBG0U?si=UiQChvAT1n67iVxb

[maiden saffron]

There was a 60fps anime clip a while back that was actually made in 60fps, i saw it on twitter

it looked great

[trim lily]

shida was great at making 24fps feel like 60fps interpolation

[maiden saffron]

but obviously that's WAAAAY too many frames to be drawing

in detail

[small ember]

Jungle P was good

[wraith mantle]

kaku's flying shot is so good here

[small ember]

Yeah that one always stuck in my brain

[fallen meteor]

whats the opening they add the guys that sing on it

[hot cairn]

https://youtu.be/LrCmsOAgvxk?si=mcyz96l7pRj7i2ZL

https://youtu.be/YFbno_aPm0w?si=czqoMlovT5IPhw5_

watch these two rn and tell me if they’re not peak

[honest garden]

The human eyes start to struggle around 60 FPS iirc anyway

[royal orchid]

naotoshi shida is what 60fps interpolation wants to be

[maiden saffron]

i think its op 20, hope?

[wraith mantle]

The Peak is a work of art

[maiden saffron]

they added Namie Amuro in it

didnt they?

[maiden saffron]

[trim lily]

i still thinkthe first one is really let down by almost half the opening being essentially a still image

[opal gull]

really?

[graceful pasture]

US IS SO GOOD

[fallen meteor]

no way thats too late

[honest garden]

24 fps is considered very high effort even for animation. 60 is ridiculous and the diminishing returns are severe

[maiden saffron]

oh yeah for animation definitely

[fallen meteor]

it's the one where they are in a tropical island playing around and theres also thw two singers

[honest garden]

At least insofar as animation

[trim lily]

yeah theres no point in animating to 60fps for 2d animation

[opal gull]

oh ok

[maiden saffron]

anything above 24 is wasteful

[fallen meteor]

it's crazy rainbow i think

[opal gull]

I thought for gaming as well

[hot cairn]

yeah but the visuals after it are too peak

[hot cairn]

it’s my favorite

I never skipped it

[trim lily]

not for games since its not designed around a specific frame rate, and its interactive

[honest garden]

Even 24 is quite high effort. Most animation isn't animated on what is called 'ones' (24 fps) a lot of the time it's done alternating between ones, twos or threes

[maiden saffron]

It's a complicated topic. In general more frames are always better, but anime as a medium, similarly to film is tied to a set of framerates we decided on

[wraith mantle]

i am watching op 26 rn and i am starting to change my mind, its actually really good damn

[fallen meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMv0GHR4o_g this one

[maiden saffron]

and a lot of the artistic intent in film and animation

[graceful pasture]

i rewatched it like 60 times ughh

[maiden saffron]

is based on the fact that they're running at said framerates

[hot cairn]

yes it is! Its absolutely peak

[honest garden]

I wouldn't even say 'always', there are times where low framerates are stylistically preferred, a few moments of Puss in Boots 2 and spiderverse used lower frame rates for example

[hot cairn]

me too man, it’s perfection

[fallen meteor]

who is bro

[maiden saffron]

like smearing and stuff

[wraith mantle]

someone at toei really love egghead their openings are S tier

[hot cairn]

https://youtu.be/JqUWua4MrIM?si=TeRkAxXYqVk0R363 this one is good too @small ember

[fallen meteor]

who are they

[trim lily]

lower frame rates are how you can emulate 2D stylization in 3D after all

[dense haven]

graggle

[honest garden]

US is fantastic, it's the most artistically inspired OP I think ever

[small ember]

Ok the second one is absolutely fire. Can’t go wrong with Kitadani

Yeah US is a banger

[wraith mantle]

vinesmoke romeo

[honest garden]

I did always like how early OPs took stuff from the cover pages though

[trim lily]

i love the song for angels and devil but the visuals of it were kind of eh

[hot cairn]

told ya

[small ember]

Hikari E

[hot cairn]

it also helps that the content is so good too, it has so many spoilers lol

[fallen meteor]

i think i like all the openings after wano started

[hot cairn]

Carmine is really underrated

[fallen meteor]

none are just bad

[hot cairn]

imo

[fallen meteor]

they are all at least good

[maiden saffron]

yeah it depends but for things like games, which aren't necessarily film OR animation and are dynamic works, More is almost always gonna be better unless a game is chasing a specific look. Like hellblade 2 chasing a film feel, and Cuphead with it's unique blend of animations that are animated at standard framerates (8s, 12s, 24s) but move across the screen at as high of a framerate you want, and it honestly looks so good.

Changing framerates of a film and animation is stupid.

[royal orchid]

putting a usb stick with these two openings on the "for a rainy day" box

[trim lily]

yeah theyve all been pretty solid

[hot cairn]

me too except paint and now the new Elbaph one

[trim lily]

i think the peak is my least favourite of them

[small ember]

https://youtu.be/1K78l3Pfyds?si=kIPcJZZ09m3i1ZGT

let me rewatch paint 1s

oh i love this one

i knew how to sing it

[trim lily]

i never understood people's problems with paint

[maiden saffron]

paint is great

[trim lily]

i think it mightve gone on for too long in terms of episode count

[wraith mantle]

one piece had some banger endings too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkMSqw-h7_Q

i love fish so much

[small ember]

A to Z is a banger

[honest garden]

I know far less about games, but yeah in general if folks had more budget/time animation would tend to higher frames

[hot cairn]

Carmine is underrated this is one of the new ones too @small ember

[small ember]

So is Eternal Pose

[royal orchid]

wow the ad is talking to me about chamyto's lactobacilos vivos

[small ember]

Dear Friends ofc

oh wow i forgot abotu carmine

Playing Memories during the end of Alabasta was good on Toei

[trim lily]

i dont think theres anything to really settle on it

[maiden saffron]

wano you mean?

[trim lily]

its a giant rock basically

[maiden saffron]

or actually they played it in both places right?

[trim lily]

no dirt, no access to water or wildlife

[maiden saffron]

Memories playing in the roger laughed scene was awesome

[small ember]

This is a good one

[maiden saffron]

[fringe escarp]

Carmine is underrated???

[royal orchid]

she is so small

[small ember]

Yeah that was a great move

[fringe escarp]

Bruh that’s a SSS tier opening

[trim lily]

i dont really like carmine

the chorus part is alright but the rest is kinda eh

[fringe escarp]

L take

[fallen meteor]

chilling on the windows wallpaper

[royal orchid]

I forgot what the animation for ANGEL & DEVIL is

[small ember]

I’m not crazy about Carmine

[trim lily]

nothing too crazy

[fallen meteor]

its the baby bonney animation

[trim lily]

though the opening introduced me to gre4n boyz which im eternally grateful for

[wraith mantle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stXbvYGvrxA this one good too

[fringe escarp]

Carmine the best opening visually and musically

[wraith mantle]

[trim lily]

[trim lily]

[hot cairn]

padding for that episode runtime

[small ember]

No love for ED 3 man that’s awful

First opening for wano was god like, the first perfect post ts opening

Second opening was dogshit

[small ember]

Over the Top is good

[fringe escarp]

Third was nice but held back by the clip show

[royal orchid]

[fringe escarp]

Fourth is great when I don’t have blood red eyes

[trim lily]

the poor fellows who made opening 19 thought jack would be a real threat

[maiden saffron]

i like the bridge at 0:42 though ...

[wraith mantle]

its really good yeah i can see itg

[maiden saffron]

sounds high tech and futuristic ...

makes me feel good

[fringe escarp]

This part ngl gives me whimsy

The Kaido part is so fucking peak

[trim lily]

wano looks awesome too

[fringe escarp]

easiest way to identify shida

Is he wiggling around

[fallen meteor]

[trim lily]

the sheer contrast between the first half of it and the second half is both good and funny

We go is lowkey held back by its visuals

[fringe escarp]

i like that one dressrosa opening

[fringe escarp]

WOO

YAYYYY

[fringe escarp]

Great description

[trim lily]

[fringe escarp]

No he doesn’t 😭

[maiden saffron]

the strawhat version of We Are

[wraith mantle]

Hope is a solid A opening

[maiden saffron]

i love that robin and chopper sing together

[fallen meteor]

it's a grass wolf
i'd use too so cool

[small ember]

Yeah strawhat We Are was fun

[fringe escarp]

Post timeskip openings are dogshit until wano overall ngl

[maiden saffron]

nah

[fringe escarp]

And egghead has exclusively god tier openings

[trim lily]

theres a few good ones but they trend on meh

[maiden saffron]

i think they're pretty good some of them

[wraith mantle]

Gerd looking good in the new opening

[small ember]

Brand New World:

[fringe escarp]

We go is s tier but held back from top spot because of animation

Hands up is ass

[royal orchid]

ANGEL & DEVIL is the sleepy bonney one I remember now

[fringe escarp]

Opening 17.

i know some people really like it though

cause it sounds funky

[fringe escarp]

Straight trash

[maiden saffron]

but its not for me

[trim lily]

drink some milk and she'll be fine

[small ember]

Gerd’s fingers getting chopped was a good little scene

[fallen meteor]

imu needs to domi reversi gerd so she can get her fingers again

kinda fucked up

[fringe escarp]

Then there’s hope

Held back by the fact that it keeps going

You know exactly what I mean

[scenic dirge]

Sanji should offer to give Gerd his fingers if he was a true gentleman

[small ember]

Is Loki a goner

[trim lily]

there'll still be a gap sadly

[fringe escarp]

Super powers is dogshit

But god damn it it’s so funny

[fallen meteor]

listening to it again

[fringe escarp]

The one that changed everything

[fallen meteor]

it's so fun to hear the alien chorus

suuu per pooo weeers

[urban kiln]

this is unironically the worst opening of any One Piece OP

[wraith mantle]

WE GOT SUPAH POWEEERS 🗣️

[maiden saffron]

it is

but it's also funny

[urban kiln]

the most repetitive and annoying sounding dogshit

abysmal trash

[royal orchid]

29 million now that I'm watching it

[scenic dirge]

Most openings are mid af so the good ones really stand out

[fallen meteor]

dangerous
dangerous

[small ember]

Again you cannot top Bon Voyage

[urban kiln]

the best openings are the last few. Prior to that there was maybe 1 or 2 good ones

[wraith mantle]

mid as in bad or mid as in average

[urban kiln]

lowkey

First six openings are a wild run

[fringe escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-luffy-wano-prison-struggling-gif-20128873

the first openings are great

[scenic dirge]

egghead one

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltvJ8XpiU5Q

this one moved mountains

it's not just good because the song is cool and the art is great

[fringe escarp]

This changed everything

[graceful pasture]

Ok this one was good

[maiden saffron]

but what it meant for the anime

[urban kiln]

I think some of them are pretty charming but I dont think id ever listen to any of them outside of the context of an episode

[fringe escarp]

NO MORE FUCKING FMI DESIGNS

[fallen meteor]

oooooooooooooooone dream
oooooooooooooooooone wish

[fringe escarp]

THANK

GOD

HOLY SHIT

[hot cairn]

God tier opening they surpassed every single one they had with that one

[scenic dirge]

Then really it's just We Are coz iconic and brand new world that reaaaally stand out to me when I think of OP openings

[fringe escarp]

FMI DESIGNS WERE ASININE

[maiden saffron]

watching over the top for the first time changed my life

its pretty decent

[fringe escarp]

You said it better than I

[maiden saffron]

but i wouldnt listen to the song by itself yeah

[graceful pasture]

yea the elbaph opening is middedly

[fringe escarp]

Assu is god tier the best opening up to that point

[fallen meteor]

you know what one piece needs

[hot cairn]

it has cute visuals but the song is… idk kinda meh?

[fallen meteor]

villains taking over openings

like #other-series

[urban kiln]

oh Ive listened to this. Its also one of the best OP Openings. I think a lot of people assume openings have to be constantly high energy which imo has actually been a detriment to many OP openings.

[maiden saffron]

I think Dreamin on is a pretty good op

[fringe escarp]

Carmine is the most beautiful opening in the series

[graceful pasture]

IMU OPENING YESSSS

[urban kiln]

song is one of the best OP songs highkey

[fringe escarp]

No.

[fallen meteor]

always so cool

[maiden saffron]

it's good

it just lasted for too long

that's not a problem with the op

[wraith mantle]

how we feelin about the sabaody opening?

[fringe escarp]

Dreamin on is a post timeskip intro (derogatory)

[fallen meteor]

not a single opening ever moved me like the #other-series ones where a villain hijacks it

[fringe escarp]

COME ON LETS GO

EVERYBODY

[fallen meteor]

we need this in one piece

[fringe escarp]

OH WE SHARE THE MUSIC

[hot cairn]

this opening sucks

[maiden saffron]

Regardless of what you think of paint, i think it's hard to deny that this where they took the visuals to the next level

[fallen meteor]

its all good

visuals and song

[fringe escarp]

Beautiful opening

[hot cairn]

maybe it’ll grow on me

[fringe escarp]

It isn’t quite S tier but it’s beautiful

[maiden saffron]

Openings since paint have all looked S tiers in terms of visuals

they're all amazing to watch

[small ember]

That one’s good

[maiden saffron]

it is S tier PISS OFF BUDDY

[fallen meteor]

when paint first dropped i remember going 'this looks like a movie'

[small ember]

Any love for Kaze Wo

[fringe escarp]

RUCK YOU

I’m sending a modletter

[royal orchid]

I think my favorite opening animation is still tied on The Peak and US

they're so beautiful

[maiden saffron]

some post ts openings have that mandatory part where they showcase the current part

which is so ass

[fringe escarp]

Carmine for me to this day just gives me chills

[wraith mantle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/gear-5-luffy-2

[fringe escarp]

Like it genuinely hits me right in the soul

[fallen meteor]

is the peak the one that is just a circle for half of it before anything ahppens

[maiden saffron]

the peak is cool but half of it is just a single screen

[fringe escarp]

Yes

[wraith mantle]

yeah

[urban kiln]

nah they do the really annoying thing with the "waaooohh waoooh wooowwaaayyoooo"

[wraith mantle]

and its peak

[urban kiln]

that song kinda booty

[fallen meteor]

its so good

[royal orchid]

holy hater

[fallen meteor]

wtf

[maiden saffron]

okah its not THAT annoying

man

[urban kiln]

the other parts are fine

[fringe escarp]

Paint had living onigashima

During my wano cope era that was the most evil rat ass inclusion

[trim lily]

i hate discord emote uploading

[fallen meteor]

wait i just made an incredible discovery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR89b0qqRAg

[royal orchid]

youtube autoplay was on PAINT and suddenly I start seeing Neon Genesis Stone Ocean from 17 years ago

[maiden saffron]

sekai no owari is the greatest thing ever made

[fallen meteor]

watch this

[trim lily]

the second half of it is

[maiden saffron]

indeed

its also a shintani opening

hope we get an episode from her again soon

[small ember]

Gn chat none of these hold a candle to ED 3

[wraith mantle]

man lowkey i liked the circle thing in the peak

[fallen meteor]

chat watch this they changed it

[maiden saffron]

UUUUUUUUUUS! is on another level when it comes to visuals though

[urban kiln]

that opening was actually super disappointing. 75% of it is just scenes inside a stupidly tiny frame

in terms of visuals that is

the song is good

[maiden saffron]

the 2nd half is great

[urban kiln]

its like the last 25% I think

not even 2nd half

[trim lily]

i wish they stretched it out more

they really rush through the visuals in the latter half

[fallen meteor]

the original one is better

[maiden saffron]

anyway i watched all openings in a row

and my verdict is that

opening 26 is the greatest thing ever made

[wraith mantle]

🥁

[hot cairn]

the visuals are just too good for me to hate on that opening

Ishitani made that and then made US

crazy

[trim lily]

actual visuals

[fallen meteor]

click this link to experience something really illegal https://youtu.be/SR89b0qqRAg?t=101

[hot cairn]

Us is so freaking peak

[urban kiln]

theres not any OP openings that Id put on the anime opening all timers I dont think. The egghead one is the closest

but other anime just have better ops

[maiden saffron]

yeah yeah

[wraith mantle]

would be curious to know what other anime ops you would consider better than the best of one piece openings

[fallen meteor]

this is disturbing
we are not meant to hear this part of the song

[hot cairn]

so true

[trim lily]

theres a full song for every opening actually

angels and demons had a good full one

[maiden saffron]

angel and devil is a bonney merchant

[urban kiln]

cant really post here but to just mention a few series names without actually posting, Id say like

FMAB, MP100, Haikyuu

[maiden saffron]

but it's really good

[urban kiln]

off the top of my head

[wraith mantle]

haikyuu op 1 is really good i will give you that

[maiden saffron]

i loved it when it played in that episode when kuma punched the spider thing

[fallen meteor]

jojos

[trim lily]

the spider thing

great name

[urban kiln]

op 1 the worst haikyuu opening and its still really good

[wraith mantle]

😭

[trim lily]

only a little bit of bias

[wraith mantle]

i dont actually think i heard the other haikyuu openings, might check em out

[maiden saffron]

no need

[urban kiln]

OP 4 and beyond are all great openings

1-3 are in the "really good" category

[hot cairn]

I wonder if the Wit Piece openings will be good

[urban kiln]

probably

they did the opening for uh

[maiden saffron]

hopefully

[urban kiln]

Ousama Ranking

and both of those openings

are top tier

[maiden saffron]

they got good history with artists ..

it needs to come out though

[wraith mantle]

because bonney is peak, true!

[hot cairn]

oh that one is peak

[maiden saffron]

im kinda worried about it's future though lol

i want it to be a long project but maybe that's too much optimism

[hot cairn]

wit piece in general?

[trim lily]

east blue is gonna be their test run to see if audiences are actually interested

[maiden saffron]

yeah

[urban kiln]

from their interviews theyve made it pretty clear they plan to make it long

[trim lily]

granted i dont think ill care if theyre just redoing everything starting from east blue

[maiden saffron]

i have faith that they won't fumble something like one piece due to it's money making potential

[fallen meteor]

my only real concern is if they leave usopp like the previews

[maiden saffron]

but it's still netflix

and you never know bruh

[hot cairn]

I really hope the reach the arcs that actually need a remake (everything post Drum Island)

[trim lily]

it would be cool if they skipped the arcs till there but they wont

[maiden saffron]

i think season 1 will just be east blue, so we probably end on the reverse mountain episode

[urban kiln]

all of the arcs need a remake in reality. Baratie needs to include Sanji's real backstory, for example.

[wraith mantle]

how bad was the pre ts pacing in toei piece?

[trim lily]

its a different case

[maiden saffron]

its okay early on

bearable some arcs later

[trim lily]

toei made up for the pacing with filler arcs

[fallen meteor]

i dont think the pacing is that bad

[maiden saffron]

then it goes to shit yeah

[fallen meteor]

the visuals are dated for new watchers

[maiden saffron]

at skypiea it turns into dogshit

[opal gull]

not that bad

[maiden saffron]

IT IS BAD

STOP LYING

[urban kiln]

pre ts pacing in toei piece is still less than 2 chapters per episode. Its bad, people are just indoctrinated.

[maiden saffron]

STOP LYING!!!

[trim lily]

post timeskip they got rid of filler arcs in exchange for pushing the filler to episodes

[hot cairn]

Ik but I mean pacing wise, the pace really starts to decline in Alabasta onwards

[wraith mantle]

so east blue is not gonna be a good test for wit piece

[trim lily]

yeah it was when they began to catch up

[maiden saffron]

i'd say the first couple arcs are okay, cause they don't feel slow even if they're still not that many pages in length

[opal gull]

After Dressrosa everything feels good in terms of pacing

[trim lily]

they had more leeway in east blue and co.

[hot cairn]

bad too

[maiden saffron]

after that it stays bearable for the most part

until the end of alabasta

and then it takes a nosedive

in the sky island saga

[wraith mantle]

i feel like 2 chapters per episode is decent no?

[trim lily]

not by most anime standards lol

[urban kiln]

they still would have to start with east blue for consistency sake. They're trying to remove the annoying barrier of like "you can watch this, then switch to this other thing, then switch to this other thing"

[wraith mantle]

more than that and it CAN feel rushed

[maiden saffron]

depends on the exact content

[urban kiln]

I said less than

[hot cairn]

it will be if the project is good

[wraith mantle]

yea but i am asking about a 2 chapter per episode pace

[trim lily]

2 is alright

but it depends on the context of the episode

[urban kiln]

thats the absolute bare minimum

[maiden saffron]

wait why did i ignore carmine for so long

[fallen meteor]

me if i was powerscaling numbers

[maiden saffron]

this one is AWESOME

ITS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD

[trim lily]

3 clears 2 and 4 but it loses to 5

[fallen meteor]

me if i was powerscaling numbers again

[urban kiln]

but just to note, cause I think a lot of people have forgotten or just love the OG experience so much

you listen to that opening and you know luffy will be throwing hella hands in these stretch of episodes

love carmine

[urban kiln]

even east blue saga

[fallen meteor]

we should stop here

[urban kiln]

is less than 2 chs per ep

[opal gull]

How many eps will we get from now on per year?

[hot cairn]

ah yeah I agree with starting in east blue I see the old animation as charming but I understand if some people think it’s outdated

[trim lily]

24

[fallen meteor]

cursed stuff after 5

[trim lily]

we're doing split cours now

its insane they still plan on adapting roughly 1 chapter an episode though

[maiden saffron]

that final shot of emeth looking at the sun in carmine ...

[urban kiln]

just pulled up a random episode from east blue (ep 20)

1.5 chapters

[trim lily]

and thats WITH filler arcs

[maiden saffron]

that's not their plan

we're definitely gonna get 2 chapter episodes later on

[trim lily]

hopefully

[fallen meteor]

the plan is at least one

[hot cairn]

that’s too little right? For about how usually anime adapts stuff

[trim lily]

anime usually do around 2-4

[urban kiln]

its not about that. Im saying its a barrier to entry from just being convoluted. "Start with toei, watch til ep X, then swap to wit"

is stupid

[trim lily]

hitting 5-6 for real fast paced, but still doable

[urban kiln]

yup, 100%

[hot cairn]

that’s pretty funny

[urban kiln]

thats why even east blue deserves a remake

[trim lily]

we've remade east blue so many times though...

[hot cairn]

that’s crazy

so the pacing was always an issue with the anime huh

[urban kiln]

and theyve all been ass

[wraith mantle]

idk why this frame feels so good lol

[trim lily]

its a weekly anime so pacing will always be an issue

[urban kiln]

"episode of east blue" is a montage video

[trim lily]

thats basically a constant

[urban kiln]

"episode of arlong park" is a montage video

[hot cairn]

wit piece, save us

[maiden saffron]

okay they're not that bad, red is just a serial anime hater

i still think upto alabasta is honestly fine in the anime

[opal gull]

thats true

[cosmic hamlet]

The One Piece Wano Country arc spans manga chapters 909–1057 (149 chapters) and anime episodes 890–1085 (195 episodes, excluding some fillers)

Holy, i thought overall it will be 1:1 🧐

[hot cairn]

I am an anime hater too

[maiden saffron]

after that you'll definitely run into some seirous pacing problems

and if you can stomach those

[trim lily]

yeah wano had some rough pacing

[urban kiln]

I said the remakes were ass

[maiden saffron]

you'll probably like the anime

[maiden saffron]

oh

i thought you meant the original

yeah those were garbage
