also-manga

[lofty fern]

Yes?

[keen falcon]

Since she's not aging

[thick mango]

shes only level 1 people comment on it right

they say like shes only a blade

[keen falcon]

So it has to be a deeper covenant I think

[ashen perch]

Garling gets promoted to commander after GV, so the commander position did exist atleast

Supreme commander is unclear, though

[lofty fern]

I guess I can do that, but only because I like her

[keen falcon]

Or could it be that they made the position then?

[wraith mantle]

U a real one

[thick mango]

i read this as saying like.. shes still level 1

[urban lodge]

She's an anomaly

[distant vine]

Man they dont be doing anything to have a hierarchy like that

[thick mango]

if she leveled up in the next few years she would still look the same

[urban lodge]

I think she already had the highest contract but was still a blade in rank

[distant vine]

Commander and Supreme Commander...

[ashen perch]

it'd be a lot simpler to just agree that Oda's not sticking to a singular number here, and 13 was the current number of individuals that had a covenant tbh

[lofty fern]

There

[ashen perch]

Even if you don't believe that the Gorosei have a separate thing going on

(you should)

[grand flower]

What’s wrong

[lofty fern]

Black blades...bleh

[keen falcon]

Anybody have the viz translation on hand in 1167?

[prisma idol]

Do we think they follow the big mom path or Shakky path

[keen falcon]

Or is this the viz lol

[prisma idol]

Because Oda doesnt do in between unfortunately

[distant vine]

Its not

👮

[lofty fern]

Scans! Keep it away!

[prisma idol]

This is viz

[keen falcon]

I think 13 exclusive is meant to be a cap

13 who can

[grand flower]

You’ll forgive me

[keen falcon]

Rather than 13 so far

[ashen perch]

Gorosei get all that and perennial youth
Commanders like Shamrock get to have a mythical creature on top of that
HKs get to have regeneration and use abyss
God's Blades get ???

All this can be associated with a separate covenant...

[keen falcon]

I don't see anything supporting the creature thing especially when garling doesn't seem to have

[thick mango]

we dont know thats a part of his being a commander. it could be just his version of a power like the others' fruit powers

[keen falcon]

That's just his weapon with a zoan

[ashen perch]

Hasn't shown it yet

[keen falcon]

He's no different from spandam

[lofty fern]

Blades get to be able to travel through the abyss and be first in line to become knights

[ashen perch]

It's very different from Spandam, who got it from VP

[lofty fern]

I don't think it's a zoan, same as the elders. It also has black fire, just like Maki

[keen falcon]

Shamrock very well could've also gotten it via vegapunk

[ashen perch]

Shamrock's Cerberus is clearly from Imu, like the Gorosei

[keen falcon]

But that being said yes we don't know how the elders transformation works

[ashen perch]

It got a title card similar to the Gorosei too

[lofty fern]

Oda would have given it a name

[ashen perch]

Just "Cerberus"

Not "Inu Inu Model Cerberus"

[keen falcon]

Yeah, very interesting scenario at least

[lofty fern]

I think it goes back into Imu's ability to give DF like powers to people

[ashen perch]

Garling's sword probably does have a creature too I'm sure

[wet condor]

We know his sword's name?

[lofty fern]

Maybe Garling got it as a reward for Rocks?

[ashen perch]

I don't think we do

[keen falcon]

We don't

[ashen perch]

He does become a commander because of Rocks

[quiet ice]

I do love that Cerberus ended the BB stuff

[keen falcon]

Nah cause he could still have any other mythical zoan 🙂

[wet condor]

What do you mean?

[lofty fern]

I think that's something the elders would grant, but Imu would be less about rank and more about power. everyone of all ranks is the same to him

[wet condor]

Oh I do remember people thinking that BB had a cerebus fruit or something I think

[keen falcon]

Blackbeard has a lot of oddities, the most obvious of which is the three heads on his flag

[wet condor]

Because of the three souls theory surrounding him and all that

Yea

[keen falcon]

Which made it plausible that he had a cerberus fruit that let him have two more fruits

[quiet ice]

Well it was specifically Cerberus cause of the three skulls

[ashen perch]

Also, the reason why I find only 7 HKs existing hard to believe is the commander thing, the hierarchy doesn't really make sense with a smaller group

[lofty fern]

You know what would be funny? Those skulls simply stand for himself and his family? Like one is for Rocks, one is for Eris, and one is for himself. Like they're all together in this

[lofty fern]

I really think its just one commander but Garling had to be extra and wanted to be called "Supreme Commander and then make his son a regular commander"

[keen falcon]

Well I feel like he's kinda doing a pisspoor job at carrying on rocks' will if he's fighting the revos for no particular good reason before taking down Imu lol

[ashen perch]

It works better if there were say, 13 HKs so they can be very cleanly divided as

3 Commanders
9 HKs, 3 each under one Commander
1 Supreme Commander.

3 Commanders and 1 Supreme Commander was the structure of the Beast Pirates too

Oh and BMP

[thick mango]

dressrosa kinda

[keen falcon]

If there's too many HKs I start just questioning why they didn't all raid elbaf and such at once and get it over with

[ashen perch]

True true

[thick mango]

had suit based groups and leaders

[keen falcon]

3 of them are strong enough to put up a huge fight, 13 would annihilate the country

[ashen perch]

Its the usual structure really, Shanks kinda does too

Luffy to some extent

[keen falcon]

And why they don't participate in buster calls and such

Like egghead

[ashen perch]

Busy at MG

[lofty fern]

I've believed ever since GV that BB isn't actually going to be the one to carry Rocks' will, the same way Ace didn't carry Roger's. Even though both men thought it would be their bloodborn children
Roger's will was picked up by Shanks and then Luffy. Rocks' will will be picked up by Loki.

[ashen perch]

These questions still exist with like 7 HKs, the simple answer to many of them is that they don't care about the lower realm

[keen falcon]

Ehh 7 HKs is smaller enough that I see them being individually busy far more often

At 13 I feel like they could take down all the yonko

[ashen perch]

I still think very highly of the Yonko so I'd disagree

Now all 5 Gorosei, that's difficult to justify

[keen falcon]

5 Gorosei + 13 HKs together at once I think they win

Especially if people like Shamrocks are as strong as Shanks

[lofty fern]

We know they have missions on the lower realm, but Shanks also tells that they don't go too often so who knows

[keen falcon]

Like I question the purpose of the Three Great Powers of the entire series if there's that many powerful holy knights and such

[ashen perch]

Just 5 Gorosei together are winning against an emperor tbh, I think its really because they prefer to not be involved

[formal wagon]

tbh just 2

[keen falcon]

Even Kaido+Big Mom isn't winning against 5 gorosei + 13 HKs + 4 Admirals at the same time

[formal wagon]

they lost to 3 frauds??

[keen falcon]

It makes the WG feel very incompetent to me

[formal wagon]

why would it take close to that many people to beat them

[keen falcon]

Because you should overwhelm your opponents, not play fair

[ashen perch]

Well the WG did plan to eventually destroy the world

I wouldn't say they weren't capable of it

They just didn't want to

[keen falcon]

I'm not understanding why they wouldn't just do that and not have to worry about major opposition for the rest of their days

[ashen perch]

I guess maintaining some semblance of balance helps keep control

[keen falcon]

They have so much force to control with that I don't think that maintaining a balance is necessary

[ashen perch]

A world war is chaos incarnate, thats what would be sparked by them going after an Emperor like that

[formal wagon]

TBH i think its might just be a contradiction on oda's part

[ashen perch]

Which they'd rather not have ofc

The Gorosei are all about maintaining the balance, I don't think its inconsistent

The WG runs on the facade that they're keeping the world powers in check, they haven't been interested in breaking that

[grand flower]

Going after the Emperors would fuck them over because of Roger

We saw when Whitebeard died, it emboldened pirates to attack his territory now that he was gone

They didn’t have the resources to handle it

[formal wagon]

but generally i like the hypothetical in universe explanation of them liking the chaos, however from conversations i've had here before i got silly, I think its clear that the story doesn't really support that idea. It treats the pirate era as a great nuisance for the World Government, and they've been in power for 800 or 900 years with the majority of that likely being without a chaotic era like the one we are in, so it would be bizzare if that were their modus operandi

[grand flower]

Now imagine all four Emperors leaving power vacuums

[ashen perch]

The WG can win, doesn't mean they would want to deal with the chaos and the losses that come with it, that's just totally unwise

Yeah true

[grand flower]

And on top of that, all of the resources they’d lose to kill the Emperors

It’d be a textbook

What’s it called

Pyrrich victory

[ashen perch]

Kaido kills 6 HKs and you've got Imu meeting a real creator very soon

[grand flower]

Or however you spell it

They’d just be fuckint the world uo

[ashen perch]

But in general, losses as well ofc

[grand flower]

The WG has no choice but to accept that emperors exist

For the mere fact that piracy exploded

Get rid of the Emperors and the lil niggas run wild

[keen falcon]

Yeah I guess the size of the one piece world is pretty huge and they don't have the numbers to maintain all the territory the yonkos do themselves

[grand flower]

Too many of them to handle with how much they’d lose getting there

[ashen perch]

We're already seeing them stretched so thin

[keen falcon]

I still feel like they should raid whole cake for food lmfao

[grand flower]

Tbh that’s a genius idea

[ashen perch]

The Celestials have food

They don't have the food they want

[grand flower]

Arsal

[ashen perch]

Idk if WCI would have it either

[grand flower]

Theyre like children

Interesting

Very interesting

[ashen perch]

Yeah

[placid rover]

do celestial dragons like venison

[grand flower]

They want lobster and filet mignon and Popeyes

[keen falcon]

Well they're refusing to feed York anything at all and I think York doesn't give a shit

[formal wagon]

who remembers lobster yamato

[formal wagon]

✋

[hasty sable]

Wdym they have food

They’re being starved out

[west axle]

this week we getting the cha[ter early

cause there will be 2 weeks break

[keen falcon]

That doesn't mean we get the chapter early

[ashen perch]

Look at this

[hasty sable]

It’s a food shortage in general

[keen falcon]

He outright claims to forgo a meal, not just missing food he wants

[ashen perch]

It is yeah, but they wouldn't starve if they weren't so spoiled

[hasty sable]

It’s not cause they’re spoiled though it’s because the Revos are attacking gondolas. They’re actually at risk of starving not just because they’re not eating what they want.

[keen falcon]

I think they're both low on the foods they want and low on food in general and rationing what they do have

[ashen perch]

That's meant to be a gag lol, like "wow, ONE WHOLE MEAL?"

[keen falcon]

Ehh it is funny but also that's how it starts, less and less food

They don't just suddenly go to zero food at once

[ashen perch]

That's basically a prisoner's diet to these spoiled rich children, the whole thing is being depicted as not actually as bad as they're making it out to be

[hasty sable]

Consider though that they’re CDs and have never had to miss a meal in their lives and it shows that the situation is worsening

[ashen perch]

The guy in the top panel forgoes a meal because he got fish and not beef

[hasty sable]

They’re under siege

[ashen perch]

And they're still overreacting

[hasty sable]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-dog-dog-loading-dog-confuse-corgi-wide-corgi-gif-5677220482674247561

[placid rover]

I would be distraught too

[hasty sable]

no, they’re actually at risk of running out of food

[keen falcon]

We don't know that he didn't eat it, only that he found it embarassing

[hasty sable]

Consider that these CDs are being rationed for once in their lives after never being denied what they want

That’s just how it’s starting

They haven’t realized how dire the situation is yet

[dense haven]

we dont know how much food they have stocked tho

we only know they dont have enough lobster

[keen falcon]

Even laffitte says the CDs are going to starve at this rate

[ashen perch]

I can't find that panel but yeah, there's the lobster one too

[hasty sable]

Enough that they’re being rationed

[ashen perch]

Where the CD is mad that he's not getting lobster, he sees that as being starved

[hasty sable]

We will probably cut back at some point and they’ll not be eating any meals

[keen falcon]

It's clear that it's not just their favorite foods that are getting impacted

[hasty sable]

Because there is no food getting to the capital

[dense haven]

why doesnt the hk just teleport food

are they stupid

[hasty sable]

Yeah

[keen falcon]

You need the covenant to teleport through the abyss and the food doesn't have covenants

[ashen perch]

That's what I was saying

Their favorite stuff is being impacted

[placid rover]

Just make the food sign the covenants

[dense haven]

if was just about covenant then their clothes wouldn't teleport either

[hasty sable]

Dragon’s master plan to deny the CDs their lobster

[ashen perch]

I don't think getting food is complicated for them, they clearly are still getting food

[dense haven]

they would just pop in naked like terminator

[keen falcon]

Yeah but are they going to cover themselves in whipped crea-

[hasty sable]

Getting food is complicated for them

[dense haven]

also we know they can move more objects because we saw summers being teleported along with his couch

[keen falcon]

Oh right the couch

[ashen perch]

I dunno what to tell you, Oda's clearly making fun of their priorities here

[dense haven]

oda is just dumb

[keen falcon]

Oda is making fun of them, but again they are genuinely running out of food in general soon

They can't get any from foreign nations or raise food up to the red line

[ashen perch]

They'll starve to death because they won't get their best meals, these two things can coexist

[hasty sable]

He’s making fun of their awareness. If anything they simply don’t realize the situation is bad for them. They just see they don’t get lobster or steak when it’s worse than that.

[keen falcon]

I think it'll tie into Sanji's motto, they'll eat when they're truly starving

And then realize there's nothing left

[hasty sable]

It’s the only reason this is working lol. They live on a freaking mountain and have to lift up supplies by gondola. The Revos attack the gondolas and suddenly they are running out of food.

Eventually it won’t just be lobster

Eventually it won’t just be one meal they’re missing

They’ll be actually starving

[ashen perch]

He's still having them be presented with lesser alternative meals, but I do agree that its only going to get worse ofc

[dense haven]

fish is common food so they should have plently unlike elite food

[ashen perch]

I am sure they do, they won't be starving to death anytime soon

[thick mango]

bb was telling him to make it worse right

[hasty sable]

It’ll probably be sooner than we think tbh

[keen falcon]

I really wonder what Blackbeard is up to right now

[keen falcon]

Yeah

[hasty sable]

They’re not even letting York eat lol

[keen falcon]

To take advantage of the situation while they have a chance

[thick mango]

more fire on the bb wg revo deal fire

[ashen perch]

BB told Lafitte to do something but its not clear

[keen falcon]

Blackbeard pirate activities are always fascinating

[thick mango]

making it worse puts more pressure on the govenrment which weakens their negotiation position re garp

[keen falcon]

Never are they on screen and I'm not interested in learning everything they're doing

[thick mango]

or koby if this was before that

[keen falcon]

This is post-egghead

[grand flower]

Blackbeard might offer them food

[ashen perch]

It'd be pretty silly if they actually gave BB what he wants

[thick mango]

theyre in a rough position and theyre arrogant thats all you need

they do silly shit all the time

killing saturn in front of the VA was silly

[ashen perch]

I think Elbaf could help on starvation, depends on how we're ending things here

[dense haven]

tbh they dont know what happened to saturn

[grand flower]

If they really trust BB again 💀

[keen falcon]

Yeah he kinda just did that

[hasty sable]

Poisoned by Straw Hat Luffy

[ashen perch]

Yeah that's what I meant Shuron

[grand flower]

Elbaph? What madness do you speak

[ashen perch]

Twice? Same trick from the same guy too? That is just ridiculous

[keen falcon]

They're gonna have to trust BB if they want garp back though

[ashen perch]

They don't

[grand flower]

Akainu is just gonna decide to go take Garp back

[thick mango]

they dont care about garp but they might care about bb helping with the revos and the siege

[grand flower]

SWORD probably will too

[thick mango]

theres weird unresolved revo/bb tension in post-ts

[ashen perch]

Yeah I think the Marines will have their own split off there

From the WG

I don't think the Gorosei are about to give in for Garp of all people

Food is a better deal but still I find it unlikely

I dunno, it all depends on Elbaf's conclusion imo, where that leaves the WG

[dense haven]

imagine how much food would mars carry

bro must be as big as an air liner

[thick mango]

i think you got resolution of the bb/revo tension, you also characterize bb as not caring about justice/freedom for others, and the current state re being called away indicates a level of urgency/desperation that might motivate a deal with bb

[ashen perch]

Btw on the abyss thing, Imu could actually do it

He could place a mark on Elbaf's food

And take it all away instantly

[dense haven]

man there are so many ways that could work

[ashen perch]

No one else can, but he can

[dense haven]

just have jupeter swallow all the food and tp him back

[grand flower]

Honestly the most interesting thing about the Revo/BB conflict is dragon and teach were both shaped by Me Valley

[ashen perch]

That'd probably cause a hygiene emergency

Imu's way will be cleaner

[thick mango]

bb destroying the revos when kuma saved his life would be nice

[dense haven]

bb vs dragon

[ashen perch]

That's if he wins though

[dense haven]

arsal do you think dragon beats bb

[ashen perch]

Yeah

[thick mango]

in reality or in like an arena?

[grand flower]

Dragon is top 2 alive rn with Mihawk

[thick mango]

dragon/revos seem easy to leverage with innocent people

which bb would happily do

[grand flower]

i wonder how many people in this discord have taken a life

[keen falcon]

What if somebody died because of you and you had no idea

So are they making up little areas for each of the arcs or is it just stuff they're going to cover? Kinda cute idea I guess

[blazing depot]

We are ALL going to the Davy Back Fight section

Foxy meet and greet let’s GO

[sinful stag]

Im gonna set sail start a crew and find the one piece tomorrow

[lofty fern]

Though another point for those who seperate Water 7 and Enies Lobby 😆

[sinful stag]

they are different tho

Water 7 is enies lobby setup

[lofty fern]

Some say it should be all one thing like how Wano is one thing

[sinful stag]

yeah but its in the arcs name

[fallen meteor]

for many, a north

[rain cedar]

It's the arc where namis connection to the nerona family gets revealed

[quiet ice]

He’s going to be revealed as a holy knight

[keen falcon]

https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Vira Nothingburger island

[rain cedar]

As long as Oda didn't forget about him

[keen falcon]

That would make no sense x.x

[quiet ice]

He’s a man of the cloth and he worships the true god

(Imu)

[keen falcon]

He took out one of big mom's 4 commanders he's goated

[rain cedar]

He has been absent for long because he was learning mantra

He will be the final boss of grandline

[waxen furnace]

You get it

[keen falcon]

I find it hard to believe that Oda will cover the stories and arcs of 10/11 supernovas and then just stop there so I believe this somewhat unironically

I think he'll be there at one of the last islands before laughtale at least

[stray prism]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-wano-fraud-haki-kidd-gif-10375482598153088039

[rain cedar]

Even among the supernovas, some shine more than others. Like aside from kidd, law, Luffy and their crew. I mean like bege and bonney who had a spotlight for a whole arc

Then there's apoo, hawkins and X drake who were just there. I hope Urogue doesn't get the same treatment

[keen falcon]

I feel like he would've just been at wano too if he was gonna get that

He's singled out as the last one left now

The fact we don't even have his fruit name is crazy imo

[rain cedar]

Yeah, we still know very little about him which is strange. So I hope he will be a major player

[keen falcon]

Definitely leaves me wanting to know more

I think Laffitte's one of the only other interesting characters with an unnamed fruit

Not counting the weirdness around imu/gorosei

I find Laffitte so interesting because he feels genuinely ride or die for blackbeard

[rain cedar]

I think he has some mind control DF

Plus he's one of the OG members as well

And tbh, im expecting something like a mythical zoan as well because he's supposed to have hypnotized marines but at the same time, he has some zoan ability

[keen falcon]

Yeah he has some sorta wings

[final wadi]

What's the exact reasoning behind the discord not posting unofficial links anymore? Getting hit with lawsuits or is it something story related?

[opal gull]

they got striked

[urban lodge]

We got hit by a copyright strike. And recently, the one pace server, which was even bigger than this one at around 600k members, got taken down, so it was necessary for our safety

[placid rover]

twin why one pace bigger than one piece

[fervent fable]

Another discord server of op?

[red lagoon]

One pace is the faster way to watch op

[ashen perch]

One Pace is a super edit of the series

[placid rover]

It's for one pace they cut down episode timing to improve pacing

[red lagoon]

It’s the ppl who made it

[urban lodge]

Yeah what they said

[fervent fable]

Oh

[ashen perch]

Not even the one that hurts the most

Blox piece is like 6 times bigger than us

[placid rover]

Blox fruits?

[ashen perch]

Yea whatever

[opal gull]

i think it is roblox?

[wraith mantle]

When did blox piece get taken down?

[ashen perch]

With One Pace, Discord was a big part of how they fans their updates on it so ofc it was massive

It didn't lol

[urban lodge]

It's funny cause that game is a huge copyright violation right

[ashen perch]

Pretty much yeah but I guess they don't care

[opal gull]

kind of, but I guess it uses generic names

[red lagoon]

Is gpo still up

[ashen perch]

Pretty sure it used to be called Blox Piece

[dark nymph]

One Pace serves a purpose

[ashen perch]

I didn't know it got renamed to Blox Fruits, I assume that was to avoid getting shut down I guess

[fervent fable]

Blox fruits is so ass

[red lagoon]

Wait are scans still coming out or are
This stopped to

[native cloud]

What are these names bruh

[opal gull]

tcb still should i guess

[ashen perch]

They'll continue to exist, though leakers do seem to be scared of Shueisha

[worthy dew]

am i the only one who refuses to watch One Pace

[fervent fable]

Me too

[red lagoon]

I love one piece

[worthy dew]

like as bad as the official anime pacing can get, i just don't trust a fan edit to be better

[red lagoon]

U don’t watch it at all?

[worthy dew]

i just watch the official anime :p

[red lagoon]

Oh I read it wrong

I thohhht u said one piece

[worthy dew]

haha

[red lagoon]

I watched one piece only normally

[native cloud]

What the heck is One Pace?

[ashen perch]

I'd rather people just read the manga or not watch at all till Wit Piece comes out than that

[red lagoon]

Edit of one piece to make it shortest

Shorter

[worthy dew]

i don't rlly trust the Wit adaptation to be well-paced either

[red lagoon]

They cut out repeat flashbacks and non canon scenes and extended scenes

I will watch. The one piece when I’m like 40

[worthy dew]

i'm scared that they will overcorrect and make it faster than it needs to be

[ashen perch]

No amount of super editing is making it a good enough adaptation, just stick with the manga

[worthy dew]

tbh i think the current Elbaf pacing is perfect

[red lagoon]

Nahh

[ashen perch]

Oh yeah recently its been much better

[red lagoon]

1 chapter still so slow

[ornate tartan]

u got a problem with the pacing?

[ashen perch]

But you're not saving Dressrosa with a super edit

[ornate tartan]

u want 3 chapters a week

[red lagoon]

Yes

[worthy dew]

it's obv faster than something like Dressrosa without being super fast

[ornate tartan]

let me tell you something buddy

[red lagoon]

I want a chapter every day

release a page a day

[ornate tartan]

if shuesiha gave oda permission he would give people 30 page chapters weekly

[red lagoon]

Shueshisa some hoes

[ashen perch]

Me too but its reassuring that Oda's involved at least, feel like he'd be able to guide them better if he has any amount of control

[red lagoon]

Shueisha need to let oda do what he wants

[worthy dew]

hmm if he's involved i feel better

[red lagoon]

Let him release the longer chapters

This big one piece nigga this fr the money maker

[ashen perch]

That'd be bad for him

[gloomy tree]

bad for him and would cost them a lot more money

[worthy dew]

i think they already kinda do lol

[red lagoon]

Longer chapters is bad for him

[ashen perch]

He says he can draw 30 pages every week but the guy doesn't understand that he'd be in trouble if he did that

He'd burn out too quickly

[worthy dew]

he already takes a break every 3 weeks or so, which is reasonable imo

[ashen perch]

Pew (@pewpiece)

WIT Studio CEO Talks about OnePiece Remake :

George Wada:

“The reason we decided to produce a remake of the One Piece anime came from a reflection by the original author, Eiichiro Oda. He pointed out that the work has become very long and rich in detail. However, since it

X · Mar 20, 2026, 12:32 AM

Oda was even the one to suggest that they should do a remake

He said, and I quote " this ts is so trash" upon revisiting some older arcs under Toei

[grand flower]

“Fix that bullshit Toei did to my masterpiece”

I’d love a Yonko saga remake man

[leaden rivet]

They say Oda is “involved” in any one piece content to lend it credibility. How much he’s actually involved is a mystery.

[ashen perch]

I believe it with the remake tbh

The most important thing is to understand what the original author, Eiichiro Oda, wants, and to find the best way to present what he wishes to show or express. By working closely with him, we will achieve the final result. This work is very close to Oda’s heart, and he knows it better than anyone; his vision will guide us.

[opal gull]

but as it is a remake, we dont have to worry about bad pacing i guess?

[ashen perch]

Read the full post smh

[opal gull]

also is it just east blue saga?

[ashen perch]

Ofc we won't yeah

Nah

[gloomy tree]

East Blue is what they start with

obviously

[ashen perch]

Yea and they said that they're committed long term to the project

[opal gull]

that's good

[worthy dew]

oh god. if they're """"streamlining"""" it for a """"""modern audience"""" then im really worried

[prisma yacht]

i like dark chocolates

[maiden saffron]

Oda went to wit studio and said this word by word:

|| PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ||

[worthy dew]

However, since it started a long time ago, the new generation, accustomed to modern productions, does not necessarily feel the same excitement toward the older animation.
this is the part that worries me 😭

[grand flower]

OP will finally get a good adaptation outside of Films Strong World through Gold 🥲

[maiden saffron]

they mean stuff like widescreen, potentially more flashy animation in some cases, much better pacing

they're not changing anything related to the story

[ashen perch]

They're just talking about the pace and the animation here mainly, nothing else

[maiden saffron]

also its important i think, to understand that these concerns don't exist as much in the very start of the anime

i think it's pretty good right at the very start, art, animation, and even the pace is okay

[ashen perch]

Though with Oda's involvement, I wonder if he gets ideas to make changes to the story too

[maiden saffron]

but once you progress into some of the later arcs, it's unbelievably slow

[ashen perch]

It wouldn't surprise me if he has additions in mind atleast

[dark nymph]

Over the years, fans have built their own vision of the story, and we want to create something that goes beyond that imagination.

[maiden saffron]

Egghead is a phenomenal adaptation

[dark nymph]

the pacing is still slow

[maiden saffron]

people really need to put some respect on the recent one piece anime

[maiden saffron]

it's really good near the end

and even mid way through

more than 2 chapters in some episodes

[ashen perch]

I think they also said that the long term goal is for The One Piece to become the definitive One Piece, which was interesting

I imagine they did just mean the definitive anime adaptation though

[leaden rivet]

I can’t take any one piece anime seriously when the art changes like every episode

I haven’t been able to really watch an entire episode of the anime since G 5 came out, the laugh is one of the most annoying things I’ve come across in fiction

[dark nymph]

you mean 3 times per episode

[leaden rivet]

It really represents how Imu feels I’m sure

[dark nymph]

its not a slog, but ideally it should be 2-3 chapters like other series

ofc that won't happen but js

wit piece will save us

[maiden saffron]

Very subjective reason to hate the laugh, doesn't really make the anime bad. One Piece looks better than most seasonal adaptations. Also the art doesn't change, it's consistent in general.

What "changes" is when a big flashy scene happens where a key animator lets their personal style shine through.

I feel like hating the laugh is a problem with gear 5 in general

[worthy dew]

idk i feel like many modern anime adaptations are paced schizophrenically fast, and i don't want that to happen to One Piece

[maiden saffron]

you can't reasonably expect the anime to not have luffy laugh

[maiden saffron]

I dont think you need to worry about that. I think they'll do a good job with The One Piece

[leaden rivet]

I didn’t say the anime was bad because the laugh, I said I haven’t been able to watch it since the laugh

[maiden saffron]

well presumably you havent been able to watch it because you find it insufferable = bad for you

[hardy stratus]

The Laugh good

[maiden saffron]

thats what im assuming

[leaden rivet]

And I love G5 just in the manga

[maiden saffron]

unless you mean you like the anime but still cant watch it

which wouldnt make a lot of sense

[hardy stratus]

but valid reason for Illy

[ashen perch]

I dunno, as long as they don't exceed 4 per episode in the early parts and 3 after like Water 7, the pacing wouldn't be too fast

[hardy stratus]

Also I have 0 hope for The One Piece

[leaden rivet]

Demon you’re coming to a lot of conclusions

[dark nymph]

I was hoping Elbaph would be 2-3 chapters an episode after the break

[leaden rivet]

I mean for one someone not liking an aspect doesn’t mean they think the entire thing is bad

[barren plover]

one piece is a love story

[hardy stratus]

Might be my biasness towards early Toei Piece

[ashen perch]

Its a valid concern but I don't believe they'd go beyond it tbh, because that would hurt the point of doing the remake

[worthy dew]

i disagree because the pacing in the manga itself is faster now, and the 1 chapter per episode format they have now lets them add downtime and extend fights, etc.

[leaden rivet]

I hate the laugh and it makes me unable to watch it, but it does not mean I’m saying the entire production is bad

very subjective reason to hate the laugh

Well pretty much any dislike to the anime is subjective

[hardy stratus]

If money wasn't a concern, I would want different studio to touch different arcs

Wit for Romance Dawn

[iron oriole]

I can see where Illy is coming from, i despise Trebols laugh & the "hey hey" for example

[hardy stratus]

maybe some other for Alabasta Saga

Some other for Skypiea

some other for Water 7

some other for Sabaody

[ashen perch]

Even the densest chapters of the series cannot be reasonably adapted into only one episode without dragging, I think you're too used to Toei

[hardy stratus]

some other for Impeldown-MF

[iron oriole]

It makes any scene with Trebol horrible to watch for me

[leaden rivet]

I dropped soul eater because I hated one of the mcs voice

[dark nymph]

In some episodes, there's not enough content in the manga for 1 ep per chapter so it just ends up slogging unfortunately

when there is enough content its nice tho icl

[leaden rivet]

If you watched you already know who I’m talking about

[hardy stratus]

In best cases, its like 1.5 chapters per ep is best for modern OP

[dark nymph]

this reminds me of black clover

[hardy stratus]

For some it would require 2

any more would be fast for OP

Even tho this is a stupid af metric

[maiden saffron]

I would say disliking it due to the pacing is a pretty objective reason. But I don't wanna get into that kind of stuff, I was responding originally to the art changing stuff though.

Because I personally feel like it's an overblown issue with the anime. Maybe it feels like that cause of how many high quality cuts there are in the anime, where the animators have their own style.

Like, I don't think it's possible for the anime to have vincent chansard or ishizuka's style all the way throughout. Those are just very flashy cuts that go viral on social media and are hype to watch.

[ashen perch]

3.5-4 for East Blue to Water 7
3-3.5 for Enies Lobby to Impel Down
2-2.5 for Marineford to now

That's perfectly fine I think

[grand flower]

Egghead is pretty good. For some reason I said that with the movies all being their own thing, the anime being its own thing, and the LA as well

[gloomy tree]

you mean at the end of Egghead? 😄

[worthy dew]

maybe. i just prefer slower pacing to faster pacing tbh 😭

wtf is wrong with my internet

[maiden saffron]

yeah but it's still more than a chapter in most of the episodes

[distant vine]

Saying you dont like something about Luffy? They wont let you get away with that here

😭

[ashen perch]

Egghead did do 2 chapters per ep near the end yeah? I haven't seen it but people said that it still felt slower sometimes

[dark nymph]

God damn Luffy glazers

Luffy is my favorite character btw

[maiden saffron]

my favorite character is zoro

[iron oriole]

Mailbox gets away with it literally every day

[ashen perch]

I think people underestimate what normal pacing looks like

[leaden rivet]

I don’t know any of who those are. And I don’t know enough about animation to say the art is actually changing. But the art does look different whenever I’ve watched an episode, there are different cuts, different styles almost every time. At least in my experience.

So I just stick to the manga

[hasty sable]

Ready for WIT Piece

[hardy stratus]

There's no normal pacing...

[hardy stratus]

You are very very valid for this

[ashen perch]

Like I said, You're just too used to Toei

[hardy stratus]

but sadly its an issue with web gen animators Illy

[hasty sable]

WIT Piece and the live action are what I looked forward to currently

[dark nymph]

translation: op fans are too used to slop

[maiden saffron]

Flashy cuts made by animators with their own distinct styles, thats why it feels like it's always changing

[dark nymph]

go watch better series

[ashen perch]

I mean the average pacing of an anime

[hardy stratus]

There's no "average" in that senae

shows would have different view of average from different era

ashita No Joe's pacing would be crapped on by current anime viewers but then it was very good

[maiden saffron]

the one piece anime is definitely from an era of slop though

[ashen perch]

Oh yeah I mean right now ofc, different eras are... different

[hasty sable]

Haven’t watched the Joe anime

[worthy dew]

faster-paced doesn't necessarily mean better though lol. something like Bleach TYBW for example is way wayyyy too fast-paced, which is a problem

[maiden saffron]

long running anime were always very slow

back in the day

one piece is just a relic from the past

but atleast they're making some changes to slightly improve that recently

[hardy stratus]

It's literally OP like pacing but spends even more time on single cuts

[ashen perch]

Did the anime of Ashita No Joe run while the manga was ongoing?

[iron oriole]

Tbf Kubo was being rushed

[hasty sable]

Don’t think so?

[ashen perch]

There's a difference there

Because slower pacing out of necessity is what it is

[distant vine]

I dont watch the anime much anymore but its probably worst with the yelling

[hardy stratus]

Uhh yes

[worthy dew]

if i have to choose between slow slop and fast slop i pick slow slop

[hasty sable]

https://tenor.com/view/ashita-no-joe-joe-yabuki-eating-joe-tomorrow's-joe-gif-2308591328987055529

[ashen perch]

Okay yeah that's out of necessity then lol

[hardy stratus]

Manga started from 68 to 73

[distant vine]

I'll watch clips and it feels like the actors have to stretch out streams slightly longer than they should

[worthy dew]

i mean the anime, but it's true for the manga too tbh

[hardy stratus]

anime was 70 in first season

[ashen perch]

I'm sure it wouldn't be paced like that even then if they had the whole thing to do

[hardy stratus]

Not really.

Take other anime from that era

they have that slowness

[leaden rivet]

Is there a reason why they don’t just stick with one?

[iron oriole]

The anime added stuff so idk how it can be called rushed, the manga was though yeah

[worthy dew]

without going too much into #other-series territory, there's a lot more that could be fleshed out, and some small things are cut as well

[leaden rivet]

Sometimes people are like “oh they’re going to get these top tier animators for this episode” and that just makes me know I won’t watch it

[hardy stratus]

For current generation of viewers, anything which isn't constant action is slow af

[maiden saffron]

Probably just something the one piece production wants. Seemingly they give more freedom to individuals than other productions. I personally find it to be a good thing.

[hardy stratus]

That's the 'normal' Pacing

[maiden saffron]

so many high quality scenes, that all look distinct

[hasty sable]

Absorb One Piece from a series of films that are just highlights of episodes cut together like the original Mobile Suit Gundam series trilogy

[hardy stratus]

that you are advocating for

[ashen perch]

To some extent yeah, I'm not saying they'd be paced like Jujutsu Kaisen but they'd be faster if they could be

[daring hedge]

Is oda on a break rn?

[leaden rivet]

I really enjoyed like the water 7 to Enies lobby animation the best

[hardy stratus]

Tiktok anime

[distant vine]

Usually there will be a process called corrections if the director wants to reel stuff into a specific style. Though they may not always do that or be as strict

[dark nymph]

they start spazzing tf out when its an exposition episode in their well paced series

[leaden rivet]

It was so good consistent and simple

[distant vine]

I for one like unique styles

Like Shida's

[maiden saffron]

the most recognizable one is definitely Vincent Chansard as of recently though, but his style is a lot of slow camera orbits

[hardy stratus]

They can still make it coherent

[ashen perch]

Dragon Ball, Bleach, Naruto, its all out of the same necessity, none of these series actually wanted to be slow.

Toei also doesn't want One Piece to be slow, they have to do it

[hardy stratus]

Is what Illy meant

[distant vine]

https://tenor.com/view/law-big-mom-trafalgar-law-puncture-wille-shock-wille-gif-15327745213163719394

[maiden saffron]

It is coherent though, i feel like that's going too far

[hardy stratus]

we have had this convo regarding jjk multiple times in os

[leaden rivet]

Is Vincent the person that’s controversial on twitter

[maiden saffron]

no

[hardy stratus]

me and Illy hate jjk s3's visuals

[hasty sable]

Tbh it’s bad practice and there’s a reason we see people moving out of that nowadays

[worthy dew]

god i hope the anime industry moves away from tiktok pacing someday soon

[hardy stratus]

for same reason as for OP

[hasty sable]

But they got to make that sweet money on the cheap

[iron oriole]

Tbh with One Piece, i like the slow pace.. i feel it helps with the world building that the series has compared to many others

[hardy stratus]

Can't happen

[maiden saffron]

you say that but have you ever tasted one piece with fast pace?

maybe you'd like it more

[hardy stratus]

Romance Dawn to EL pacing is perfect for OP

[leaden rivet]

Does the slow pace add to the content or does it just make it slower?

[ashen perch]

I see The One Piece as being similar to the Jojo's adaptation, they have nearly all of the series now, they won't have to worry about catching up just like David Productions didn't

[maiden saffron]

the slow pace doesnt add anything imo

[hasty sable]

How it should be

[dark nymph]

This is a good test tbh

[iron oriole]

I wouldn't care tbh

[maiden saffron]

it just makes it hard to watch some arcs

[worthy dew]

ehhh depends. a lot of people do take issue with how fast-paced stuff like JJK or the recent Shaman King anime are

[distant vine]

Thats a different thing to me

[maiden saffron]

I'm sorry but everything from fishman island to ... middle of wholecake island is completely unwatchable in the anime

[worthy dew]

‼️

[ashen perch]

JJK is also inherently just faster

[distant vine]

When I think of One Piece being slow I think of the sumo fight

[hardy stratus]

I mean we have read it?
And we can get an idea of how scenes should be paced for us

[hasty sable]

I just want WIT Enies Lobby

Deliver please

[leaden rivet]

the mid part of skypiea in the anime felt like I was dragging my feet through quick sand

[distant vine]

Not just a low amount of things happening

[worthy dew]

One Piece is just not the kind of story that should be rushed ‼️

[ashen perch]

Its just not rushed though

[hardy stratus]

No one says that's good

like at all

[leaden rivet]

People usually say that about Dressrosa

[distant vine]

I dont mind a slow pace as in things slowly occur

[leaden rivet]

But skypiea felt the slowest to me

[maiden saffron]

I dont think it translates directly. An action manga chapter and a manga chapter with a lot of text will be treated completely differently by the adaptation in terms of runtime

[hardy stratus]

It's 3 Minutes of "trying to fall"

[mild bone]

skypeas

[hasty sable]

It can rush just a little bit

[distant vine]

I think of things being dragged out past their limit

[iron oriole]

Well i'd like to think that a slower pace = Oda has more time etc to flesh things out if/when he wants too

Idk maybe its just me & i'm thinking about it differently

[maiden saffron]

oh we're talking about the anime here

[hardy stratus]

no one's saying Dressrosa or Wano didn't have their issues

[maiden saffron]

the manga isn't slow though

[mild bone]

despacito

[leaden rivet]

The mangas actually been kinda fast recently

[maiden saffron]

the manga has been at a steady pace for a while now, and it doesn't feel slow imo

[hardy stratus]

The point is
With reading the manga, we can have an idea of how the anime should be paced

[cold steppe]

The slow pace started in enies lobby. If you think skypiea is slow, then it's also slow in the manga

[leaden rivet]

Elbaf escalated rather quickly if you pretend the flashback didn’t exist

[hardy stratus]

Don't you play the manga chapter like a video in your head when reading?

[cold steppe]

It's not because of the anime

[hardy stratus]

Skill issue

[mild bone]

one piece is was never slow,it was just long(manga),not anime

[ashen perch]

Onigashima and Egghead were the only times I felt that the slower pacing could add something sometimes, but that's not the case for 99% of the series lol

Even the parts that benefited from being extended are surrounded by horrifically slow parts that would want you to stop watching

[maiden saffron]

I'm responding to their claim of preferring the slow pace because it helps with world building and stuff, and my point mainly was that slow pacing for the anime doesn't really add anything at all

[cold steppe]

The end part of an arc is always slow

[maiden saffron]

faster pace would be better

[hardy stratus]

In early OP when it was adventure-ish

it adds the scenic worldbuilding by just having the visuals linger

[maiden saffron]

early op isn't slow by today's standards

[distant vine]

No it doesnt...

[maiden saffron]

do you guys realize that for the longest time, a one piece episode was 0.7 chapters

[dark nymph]

those slice of life moments benefit from the slow pace

[hardy stratus]

Watch any good slice of life anime and not tik tok anime pls

[distant vine]

Scenic worldbuilding and its just shots of the characters faces

[ashen perch]

I'm sure they'd still linger, just not any more than necessary

[pine ridge]

does that include filler

[distant vine]

Dont try to pull that on me, I watched Frieren

[mild bone]

https://tenor.com/view/another-vista-upscale-vista-one-piece-one-piece-agenda-agenda-piece-gif-15289568797106535655

[hardy stratus]

Frieren is tiktok anime

I am talking Natsume or Mushishi

[distant vine]

https://tenor.com/view/nintendo-ds-hotel-dusk-ds-cing-gif-24618142

[dark nymph]

crazy

[leaden rivet]

I’m still appalled that the one pace server got nuked

[maiden saffron]

this is the pace of early one piece btw. It's a night and day difference to current one piece.

So you can't really use early one piece to make your claim for today's one piece

[leaden rivet]

That’s a little sad

[maiden saffron]

they are totally different

[hardy stratus]

I think you and me are in different convo

[worthy dew]

i mean the difference between a current One Piece chater and an early chapter is also night & day

[hardy stratus]

I am in "early OP is perfect pace"

[ashen perch]

Well I wouldn't say that the difference is that big lol

[hardy stratus]

and this is true too but I don't think they scale linearly

[mild bone]

one piece is not slow

[dark nymph]

Just download the entire server, boom easy fix

[mild bone]

what

[hardy stratus]

there's a huge difference that you cant use "this is what jjk uses" or "this is what bleached used"

[dark nymph]

im sure some nerd could do it

[hardy stratus]

since one OP chapter is as long as 4 bleach chapter or 2-3 jjk chapters

[mild bone]

bleached

[ashen perch]

If an early One Piece episode can do 3-3.5 chapters, later ones will be able to do 2-2.5

[hardy stratus]

typo

[maiden saffron]

You're saying that a slower pace helps by having shots linger for longer. While I think that's a good thing, it doesn't really translate into a "slow pace can be a good thing" discussion for today's one piece.

Because we've gone from 2-3 chapters to 0.7 chapters an episode.

[hardy stratus]

1.5 to 2.25

[mild bone]

BIG 3

jjk
solo leveling
rezero

[ashen perch]

We've seen 1.5, its not enough

[hardy stratus]

1.5 might not have been enough for those chapters

there are some where its enough

in those I would say 2-2.25

[maiden saffron]

Also early one piece is unforgivable for what it did to Zeff's story

[mild bone]

unemployed people talking about production time:

[dark nymph]

2 is minimum imo

[cold steppe]

I think most would agree that the Imu attack on elbaf in the last chapters would only be done justice if fast paced. But that would never happen since it's an entire chapter

[worthy dew]

does that include potential additions that the anime could make to the story (such as extending fight scenes or downtime moments)

[dark nymph]

for most sections of the story

[leaden rivet]

Hey I’m at work right now

I’m very much employed smh

[mild bone]

work then

[red lagoon]

The only time low chapter is good is when oda does a short ass fight and to fill out the episode toei extend the fight

[leaden rivet]

No

I’d rather argue about production time while making money

[mild bone]

well unemployed

[ashen perch]

I don't think they really have to, also fight scenes can go by pretty quickly

[mild bone]

layoff

[maiden saffron]

getting paid for talking about one piece

[placid rover]

I shall snitch

[maiden saffron]

and you think that's a bad thing?

smh

[mild bone]

https://tenor.com/view/marx-karl-marx-communism-soviet-union-marxism-gif-12636906807547980496

[maiden saffron]

I support talking one piece on company time

!

[mild bone]

i feel so hatefull

[iron oriole]

People don't talk about One Piece during work hours? Tf do they do then?

[ashen perch]

Tbh I haven't seen it but trusted sources (my friend) told me that Egghead's last few episodes did 2 chapters and it was still slow in some parts lol

[maiden saffron]

i felt it was okay but

again

2 is the bare minimum

[worthy dew]

yeah i disagree with that. i think an anime adaptation has to necessarily go beyond simply adapting the manga panels as they are, but also this is even more true for the final saga, since the pacing of the manga itself leaves a lot that could be extended by the anime

[ashen perch]

This is what he said, it was better but it still didn't feel enough

Just pretty good, at best

[cold steppe]

It's because toei focuses on dramatic effects like slow mo and reactions

[dark nymph]

wit piece is gonna skip 1 panel and all hell is gonna break loose

[red lagoon]

No matter how it’s done ppl will complain fr

[maiden saffron]

pacing discussions about the one piece anime have been an unproductive endeavour for quite some time. That's why I almost never bring it up personally.

When I say i love the egghead anime, it mostly means how they handled the scenes individually. The pacing is and will always be dogshit for this anime most likely lol.

But still, I think people should watch the anime, with wano and egghead

and now elbaf

i think they'll probably enjoy it

just with a huge pacing warning upfront

[red lagoon]

Egghead was fucking amazing

[dark nymph]

scene wise I don't think wit piece is surpassing ts

[red lagoon]

Par a few episodes

[mild bone]

small costumes

[red lagoon]

Wym

[maiden saffron]

yeah

they probably won't

[mild bone]

https://tenor.com/view/nami-robin-one-piece-gif-24447352

[cosmic hamlet]

Is early one piece popular? I think during initial days they had to pull audience so they might be desperate to do the best.

What is your opinion on how the studio feels when animating? They are trying to do the best? Or they think they still get audience if we make cost cuts?

[dark nymph]

Some bonney/kuma scenes are just perfection

[maiden saffron]

the anime has always been fairly popular

even when it was dogshit (fmi -> wci)

[maiden saffron]

I think they were just trying to do their best work for a long time early on

and then they kinda put it on the back burner for a while

it was only after the explosive popularity that they gave it more priority

[grand flower]

Four chapters in one episode might make me cry from joy

[latent hamlet]

Easier for people to consume anime than manga

[ashen perch]

But that doesn't mean adding new content though, that is done by giving a creative spin to the original content. The right direction, animation, music, pacing, etc is so so much more important than inserting in a meaningless scene that does nothing outside of just wasting your time. What did the dream sequence between Kaido v Luffy before he fell down from Onigashima add to that episode? Nothing, they wouldn't even do that if they didn't need to pad. This can be said about so many of the extended sequences lol, they're doing it out of a necessity.

[cosmic hamlet]

So for a long time they animated it as a casual series?

[maiden saffron]

yeah

[grand flower]

I remember a friend of mine telling me she was anime only when Dressrosa was airing

[maiden saffron]

early one piece has a soul

[latent hamlet]

One piece i feel like was animated as a "its there. It aint crazy but its there"

[grand flower]

My heart broke for her

[maiden saffron]

which it lost after some time

i think it was around the end of skypiea

where it started to feel different

[iron oriole]

This was when i said fuck this & got caught up with the manga

[hardy stratus]

Counterpoint: ep 1015 benefitted from adding the scene

[maiden saffron]

east blue in the original anime, no one pace, no fanmade remaster whatever

still a great adaptation

[latent hamlet]

I think i first noticed the filler discrepancy during Doffy's God Thread

[maiden saffron]

only thing it does wrong is change the zeff backstory

[ruby cape]

Yeah defo. They switched up the actual style from ep 207

[latent hamlet]

Like luffy broke through it easily in the manga

[grand flower]

lol I started reading after Skypeia because trying to skip the filler made what I was seeing way too confusing

[latent hamlet]

In the anime god thread was pushing luffy back

[maiden saffron]

those water color backgrounds, with consistent character designs

different skintones for characters

and genuinely beautiful animation and composition

early one piece anime was awesome

[grand flower]

Man Dressrosa anime was so bad before that I was too checked out to even get mad. The botchy animation and art made me stop watching the anime entirely

[latent hamlet]

But it was done by 4kids
So trash

[iron oriole]

Between Zoro running in circles for 25 episodes, all the Tontatta shit & Trebols laugh + "hey hey".... FUCK DRESSROSA

[ruby cape]

So dogshit bro

[maiden saffron]

that was just the english dub

no one watched that

[mild bone]

i am so poor

[cold steppe]

My favorite animation in one piece is episode of east blue. I think it's the best suited style

[grand flower]

I truly would not ever watch it again it was pure misery

[latent hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-trebol-one-piece-gif-24849032

[red lagoon]

Dressrossa made me semi read the manga

[grand flower]

https://tenor.com/view/money-tekken-gif-22877309

[latent hamlet]

I feel like it contributed to people not hearing about one piece for a bit tho

[maiden saffron]

i actually think early one piece anime looks far better compared to episode of east blue

[grand flower]

Like Toei was mad at us for watching the shit

[iron oriole]

No hate to Trebols VA, he clearly did a good job as a villain to make me hate him so much but it genuinely made me want to make myself deaf

[maiden saffron]

episode of east blue is good though

[worthy dew]

i usually prefer dubbed anime to subbed ngl

[cosmic hamlet]

Its hard to maintain it for 25 years every week.

Probably the effect of not going seasonal and have to work on it every week made them think of it as a casual release at some point. Like a daily routine thing.

[grand flower]

React mute speed run

[worthy dew]

the Funimation dub is great imo

[maiden saffron]

if The One Piece can deliver a quality and consistent adaptation similar to that, i think id be happy

Calm down bro

Anyway
