also-manga

[brittle basin]

Not you too

[runic dock]

My parallels

[ashen perch]

about there being multiple continents in the past

[hardy stratus]

yeah

[brittle basin]

I'm going to parallel my foot in Oda's ass.

[ashen perch]

thats almost 1 billion percent leading to the first world resembling ours

[hardy stratus]

my excuse for it was the bible and buddha terms and etc being present

[hardy stratus]

same

[runic dock]

That’s like two feet

[rustic coral]

It evolved from the real world

[hardy stratus]

wait Arsal I'll ping you in other series

[brittle basin]

A woman who has a nun outfit in OP is just a funny quirk, not a refernce to a real Earth past. Give me the pen, Oda.

[runic dock]

Oda invented the bible

[formal wagon]

Its probably gonna be more like sci fi than the real world

[ashen perch]

I think in 500 years, we'll be back to resembling the real world again

its cyclical

[brittle basin]

Kuma's bible does not say Holy Bible, Oda will not do this to me.

[rustic coral]

Not scifi

[formal wagon]

i guess contemporary is a better word than real world for this

cycleslop

[brittle basin]

[prisma yacht]

kumas bible is a biblu ref dw buffy

[ashen perch]

in 500 years, VP will have invented the internet again

[runic dock]

Contemporaryslop

[brittle basin]

It's better as a fantasy world, let it be its own thing. Not future post-post apocalyptic Earthslop.

[formal wagon]

it could totally be cycleslop but that would make me so sad

[runic dock]

In 500 years vp will definitely be alive still

[rustic coral]

It is the real world if people's dreams came true

[hardy stratus]

buffy check my theory in otherseries about it

[formal wagon]

thats such a shounen cop out

[hardy stratus]

I mention another series so yea

not theory but just guess or w/e

[ashen perch]

it literally is post post apocalyptic tho buffy

[inner agate]

oykot is only mentioned here 400 times? i thought a lot more world theorise on it

[hardy stratus]

I don't do deep theorizing

[brittle basin]

I need a link

[hardy stratus]

just go open os

I have pinged arsal just now

[ashen perch]

We just dont know what the world looked like before the first apocalypse

[formal wagon]

no way 😭 i've got more personal vira mentions than oykot mentions on the whole server thats nuts

[runic dock]

Nerona perona

[hardy stratus]

it's just a single sentence than a theory

but that's what I had in mind since forever

[inner agate]

even yano has more mentions holy

[brittle basin]

but not post post apocalyptic earth, that's the key difference I don't want happening. There is a story I've experienced before that did this in a very, very good way. but it's not what I want from OP. I like it as its own separate fantasy universe.

[ashen perch]

the first world was multiple continents and then destroyed, the second world was one continent and then destroyed

we dont know what that first world looked like

[hardy stratus]

I can see it working

it needs Oda to be a better writer than he is rn fr

[runic dock]

The first world should just be sandland

No water at all

[ashen perch]

it could have been Earth, like earth atleast

[brittle basin]

earth adjacent is fine

[rustic coral]

First world was Pangea

[ashen perch]

VC and Pre VC

[hardy stratus]

there's a manga of late 2010s that did this which was the only thing I liked about it

Arsal probably has read it

[brittle basin]

there's a game that does this, but I can't spoil it

[hardy stratus]

our actual world having apocalypse to turn it into fantasy world

[brittle basin]

they did it well

[ashen perch]

If I have then I dont remember anymore 😭

everything but OP is kind of a blur for me now

[brittle basin]

I know an anime/book series that does this very well. i'm sure you know what I'm talking about

[hardy stratus]

yeah you have read it arsal

I just checked yourmessage history

[hardy stratus]

my fav cathedral rocket one?

[ashen perch]

also it seems like VC was the pangaea, singular super continent continent

[ashen perch]

visual foreshadowing on the 2nd one btw

[brittle basin]

i'll tag you in OS

[ashen perch]

not many would even wonder why Nojiko is there

[rustic coral]

What working in the CIA does to a mf

[ashen perch]

yeah they did a whole flash on my brain, only left OP for some reason

[rustic coral]

You have to fight the OP-inspired irl revolutions around the world

[ashen perch]

I have always had issues with my memory though seriously, OP remains because I discuss it regularly enough

[hardy stratus]

yeah I only remember series i have discussed

[rustic coral]

That is why they kept your memory of it

[hardy stratus]

like I forgot Berserk I read like 6 years ago but I remember idk even Seven deadly sins more cuz I discussed it when it was ongoing

so I can feel arsal

[ashen perch]

I had to reread Blue Exorcist to catch up on it in the past

[pulsar path]

Sm berserk and 7ds in the same graph

[ashen perch]

and you know what happened? it went on a long hiatus

and now I need to reread it AGAIN

[hardy stratus]

me with DGM

[ashen perch]

to catch up AGAIN

[brittle basin]

what is DGM?

[pulsar path]

More like blue imuexcisst

[ashen perch]

D gray man

[rustic coral]

Wait DGM didnt end

[pulsar path]

D fray man

Grey

[brittle basin]

I never read that

i know the name though

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/scuba-cat-scuba-cat-kitten-cute-gif-6808830743234487843

[pulsar path]

Gray*

[hardy stratus]

no?

it has like

[brittle basin]

D Gay Man

[hardy stratus]

good 150-200 chapters left

[pulsar path]

I watched the anime 16 years ago lol

[ashen perch]

this is why I am not reading it yet, I will wait for as long as it takes

[hardy stratus]

I recommend it Buffy

[ashen perch]

wait wtf

200 chapters???

that cant be right goro

[brittle basin]

I recommend I finish Haikyuu first. Almost at 200 chapters.

[pulsar path]

Likes they 50 ears

[hardy stratus]

it barely feels like halfway through done

[ashen perch]

thats 50 years of D Gray Man 😭

[hardy stratus]

oh ofc

[brittle basin]

and then maybe HxH

[hardy stratus]

Haikyuu the best of the medium anyway

[brittle basin]

I am trying hard with that series

[pulsar path]

It's like one chapter every three months isn't it 🤣

[hardy stratus]

Hunter x Hunter mid of the medium anyway

🏃‍♂️

[ashen perch]

yeah theres 4 chapters per year

[pulsar path]

...

[ashen perch]

maybe like a hundred left you know

[pulsar path]

We thought one-piece was never ending

[brittle basin]

I stopped at chatper 50-ish. It's fine. but not the greatness people won't shut up about. But that's why I'm gonna keep reading to see if it reaches that height.

[ashen perch]

I dont know, i havent reaad it, but 200 sounds unbelievable

[keen falcon]

I'm waiting for A Dream of Spring before I read song of ice and fire

[hardy stratus]

you thought One Piece was never ending

but then you have Conan

which ist at like 100 chapters more than OP

and not even 50% through

[keen falcon]

Conan's not really progressing an overarching story much though

[prisma yacht]

what is it even about

[pulsar path]

Is that actually coming out? I won't read the books till it's all out

[hardy stratus]

sherlock holmes style episodic detective fiction

[brittle basin]

these mangaka need to learn how to shorten series. or redesign the entire manga industry from the ground up so it rewards shorter series.

[keen falcon]

Nah no way GRRM isn't dying first but yeah

[hardy stratus]

Idk

Conan is amazing

I am rewatching it

[pulsar path]

I mean Sherlock or csi and law and order

[brittle basin]

oh god

those things are neverending

[pulsar path]

In just joshin

[hardy stratus]

the novels/short story styles

[brittle basin]

CSI season 4564646456

[ashen perch]

I like longer series idk

[hardy stratus]

you don't read it for the overarching plots

[pulsar path]

Conan is dope

[hardy stratus]

you read it for the interesting mystery

[ashen perch]

I criticize the OP anime because its longer than it needs to be

[hardy stratus]

and to solve them

[ashen perch]

but generally I love longer series

[hardy stratus]

the overarching plot is just icing on the cake

[brittle basin]

I like longer series too. I don't like an industry that seems to reward writers for how long they can go.

[hardy stratus]

I mean Conan definitely isn't that Buffy

[ashen perch]

I have even read fairly long slop without really minding it too much

[hardy stratus]

dude just loves golden age of mystery and detective fiction so much

[ashen perch]

like Komi san...

[brittle basin]

if you have a shorter series in shonen, it seems to be an indicator that you failed to keep up with popularity

[hardy stratus]

he makes tons of nod to popular japanese honkaku or Agatha christie

or Sherlock

or spoil a Agatha Christie book for you

"Oi this is like that Agatha Christie book"

[ashen perch]

Once youre on it weekly, the length just stops being relevant. I am sure Conan fans love getting their semi regular release

[hardy stratus]

smth a character says in one of the episode buffy

[ashen perch]

it starts being a special occasion, almost

[hardy stratus]

Idk I dropped it cuz of the release schedule

for uhh 8 years

then rewatching from beginning

and it again climbed back to my top 1 spot

[brittle basin]

i just like a good story. i looooove Death Note is so short by comparison.

[hardy stratus]

I don't find death Note to be a good story buffy

but that's not for this channel

[ashen perch]

fair fair lol, but I heard that was the case with Ippo from its fans for example

people dont want it to end

[brittle basin]

Bebop 1 season yet it's one of the greatest works of art ever created across all mediums

[hardy stratus]

Buffy some of my fav manga are like 1-3 volumes

[brittle basin]

good

[hardy stratus]

but my fav stories are like Detective Conan and OP

[ashen perch]

once they are caught up, they are like ''oh just keep it going for as long as it can'', thats the case with me and One Piece too

[hardy stratus]

short stuff and long stuff both can be good

[ashen perch]

12 years is my estimate but

I will allow Oda to go way longer if he feels like it lol

[grand flower]

I wish

[ashen perch]

not that he would but

[brittle basin]

I'm finding 2-400 chapters as a sweet spot I think

[ashen perch]

if he did...

[brittle basin]

but even 400 is a shit ton

[ashen perch]

it will happen, trust

[hardy stratus]

buffy for me manga more than 10 volumes is long af

but if it's good

[keen falcon]

200 would be pretty rushed

[hardy stratus]

then 100+ volumes is short

[brittle basin]

What was FMA? 20 something?

[hardy stratus]

FMA is another where it could have been longer and better

[ashen perch]

truee

[brittle basin]

Buffy is 7 seasons too long for example

[hardy stratus]

western series are just most of the times too long

they never utilize their length well

🏃‍♂️

[brittle basin]

'cause sometimes you run out of things to write well lol

[hardy stratus]

cuz the serialized television of then aren't long form storytelling of manga

there's not intricate character arcs or story arcs done throughout in focus

[brittle basin]

but star trek almost benefits from more seasons because of its explorative and episodic format. but even that needs limits

or like doctor who

[maiden saffron]

op discord has fallen

[hardy stratus]

one of my fav shows (I am in the very very very very very minority here) is a Hindi Soap Opera which is 4000 episodes long

so I can fw long series if I like it

[brittle basin]

what

bro

what are even doing at that point

[hardy stratus]

it's episodic slice of life

[prisma yacht]

Bro what

[hardy stratus]

tmkoc fronsen

[brittle basin]

but hey I also think the simpsons should've died like 20 years ago

[hardy stratus]

sorry but I love it to death

[grand flower]

Okay I’ll trust you don’t betray it like everyone before you in my life okay

[prisma yacht]

Ohh

[grand flower]

Make sure it’s 12 years

[prisma yacht]

It's cool

[ashen perch]

I know about this but I have never met a real person who actually loves it lmao

[hardy stratus]

I watched it ongoing till 3000 eps

[maiden saffron]

this could be like

4 different ones

[prisma yacht]

But I didnt know it has these many episodes

holy shit

[hardy stratus]

like i said 5 very

[grand flower]

Nigga watching Hindi young and the restless

[hardy stratus]

[prisma yacht]

[hardy stratus]

[ashen perch]

[maiden saffron]

[prisma yacht]

Wtf is yrkkh

[maiden saffron]

[ashen perch]

ye rishta kya kehlata hai

[maiden saffron]

Lmfao

[prisma yacht]

[hardy stratus]

[prisma yacht]

Fuck ass auntie show

[hardy stratus]

[maiden saffron]

[brittle basin]

"I missed 300 episodes"

[hardy stratus]

[ashen perch]

theres also Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, which is like 2000 episodes

[hardy stratus]

like genuinely

what the hell is even that

I have watched like multiple of these Sab tv soaps from start to end

[prisma yacht]

Yeah I was worried at first that goro might say something like an auntie show

[ashen perch]

okay which one are you talking about 😭

[hardy stratus]

Wagle ki duniya, aladdin naam toh suna hoga, taarak mehta ka ultah chasmah

[ashen perch]

I thought it was an auntie show too

[prisma yacht]

Tarak mehta ka ulta chashma

[hardy stratus]

I don't watch auntie shows bruh

well

well....

[ashen perch]

ah okay okay

thats reasonable

thats fine

[hardy stratus]

I do have watched Kundali Bhagya for like first year

🏃‍♂️

[prisma yacht]

HOLY

😭😭

[ashen perch]

those episodes are like only 20 minutes too

so its not really 5000 episodes, its more like 2500

[prisma yacht]

They are pure slop

[hardy stratus]

Idk man Mom would have watched it and I would be there browsing internet or shit

[brittle basin]

oh only 2500 ok

[hardy stratus]

and watch it on background

[brittle basin]

that makes it better

[ashen perch]

LMAO

you know OP is going to end with 1600+ episodes

or maybe 1700

[brittle basin]

WIT will save it

[hardy stratus]

I am king of watching Hindi soaps

[prisma yacht]

Wit will continue to adapt it until the very end

We are wit piece

[hardy stratus]

I used to watch aladdin in youtube to catch up to the parts I missed while on boarding school

🏃‍♂️

[prisma yacht]

I don't remember the aladdin show at all

I remember bhabhi ji ghar pe hein

[hardy stratus]

it had my celebrity crush avneet kaur sooo....

I watched it just for her at the start fr

[prisma yacht]

Just googled her

Yeah valid

I'd too

[ashen perch]

man I have struggled to start a fucking 12 episode series in the past 5 years

I dont know how you guys do it 😭

[hardy stratus]

Arsal I have had like

[grand flower]

Which one

[hardy stratus]

Solanin paused for 5 years

it's a fucking 2 volume manga

[grand flower]

Arsal watch invicinbile with me on VC tonight

[hardy stratus]

Like the more bad the show is, the more progress I can have on it

[prisma yacht]

Have you not watched the final ep

[ashen perch]

Anime, Sonny Boy, I watched the first episode when it came out and liked it and somehow never got around to watching it

[knotty root]

Try standing up while watching it
That helped me

[ashen perch]

I have thought about resuming it for 5 straight years

[hardy stratus]

you remember the original "Bunty tera saabun slow hai kya"?

[ashen perch]

or idk is it 5?

[hardy stratus]

she was the girl in that

[ashen perch]

its been long

[prisma yacht]

I do

[grand flower]

Oh that sounds cool

[hardy stratus]

[grand flower]

OFC

[prisma yacht]

Wow

[hardy stratus]

I waste my time on tmkoc and ekta kapoor slops fronsen. do you think I have time to watch peak

[prisma yacht]

Last time i locked in to read a book I was able to read like 75 pages in a day

I'm lvl 2 slow for this shit

[hardy stratus]

last time I really locked in, I finished Mistborn book 1 in a 10 hour train journey

haven't really locked in since then

[prisma yacht]

Wtf

[rustic coral]

Btw, Wit Piece already showed Arlong Park so I wouldn't be surprised if they released a new cour in the same year

[hardy stratus]

ig I did finish 100 chapters of The Fable yesterday

but compared to my locked in day when I finished Naruto in 2 days

it's not locked in

[prisma yacht]

Hmmm

[ashen perch]

Bobobobo, MHA, Berserk, HxH, JJK, Sakamoto Days, Blue Exorcist, Akane Banashi, Tower of God, Choujin X, Blade of the Immortal, Vinland Saga, Beastars, Black Clover, Natsume Yuujinchou, To Your Eternity, Sonny Boy, SxF (anime), Shirobako and a few others have been on this indefinite hold lmao

[prisma yacht]

I have read around 70 chapters in a day when I was binge reading kingdom

That's the max I have ever gone

[ashen perch]

its a real problem unfortunately, Ill get over it eventually

[prisma yacht]

Bobobobo

[hardy stratus]

Red got you on Natsume too

[prisma yacht]

😭

[hardy stratus]

[ashen perch]

YEAH

[hardy stratus]

he got me too. I really like it

[ashen perch]

I havent mentioned Natsume in ages because I know he'd be mad 😭

[hardy stratus]

but since its a series I really like

I would take my sweet sweet time

[fast pagoda]

That would be cool

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/m-gif-7556977615911675392

[hardy stratus]

arsal the last time I was caught up with manga properly

I had like 121 ongoings

I only read like 5 ongoing rn

[ashen perch]

insane

[hardy stratus]

😭

[prisma yacht]

😭😭

[ashen perch]

I paused many of these to wait for their end

and then they ended and well

😭

[hardy stratus]

OP, dgm, blossoming blade, tower dungeon

and i forgot the other one

[ashen perch]

I think I got like 6

[hardy stratus]

I plan to catch up to them soon

[ashen perch]

but its mostly just jump because its easier to read them

[hardy stratus]

just need to finish some of my backlog first

I have my jump reads paused

witch watch and sakadays

[prisma yacht]

I had sakadays and kagurabachi but I stopped reading them

[ashen perch]

I have actually even paused One Piece

[prisma yacht]

Weekly reading isn't for me

[ashen perch]

thats how bad it is

[hardy stratus]

only op weekly is for me fr

[ashen perch]

I think the last OP episode I saw was the start of Kuma's flashback

[fast pagoda]

Yeah

[hardy stratus]

cuz best part of OP for me is reading + theorizing

which is reading quality reddit and opcord (lesser and lesser nowadays sadly smh) theories

[ashen perch]

I love reading weekly yeah, I could never pause it

[hardy stratus]

same

[prisma yacht]

😭

This is my first arc reading weekly

[fast pagoda]

Theorizing is fun but it can set you up for disappointment

[hardy stratus]

my first arc was like

PH

[fast pagoda]

When did you start reading OP?

[hardy stratus]

wait early dressrosa

[prisma yacht]

I used to let the chapters get stacked up

[fast pagoda]

Wano act 3 was my first weekly arc

[prisma yacht]

Hmm like early wano ig

[hardy stratus]

covid babies...

😔

[fast pagoda]

Sorry im 5 years old

[hardy stratus]

unlike yall I was a Naruto refugee

[ashen perch]

its most of the fanbase atp unfortunately

[prisma yacht]

But I paused it after catching upto it

[hardy stratus]

the worst group of fandom until JJK fans discovered OP

[fast pagoda]

I started anime in like 2019 tho

[formal wagon]

omg ur gonna get muk'd

[prisma yacht]

Came back during the G5

[fast pagoda]

I didnt start reading the manga regularly until like 2022

[gritty vigil]

I love the manga very much

[ashen perch]

I think I'd consider myself a Naruto refugee too, but I never caught up with the manga

[hardy stratus]

I started OP one week after Naruto ended

[ashen perch]

just the anime

[prisma yacht]

WDYM UNFORTUNATELY

[hardy stratus]

like literally as much of a series refugee as one can be

[gritty vigil]

I'm watching naruto rn... in 2026

[ashen perch]

I jumped from Naruto to One Piece like during the airing of the final saga in the anime

[hardy stratus]

so 2015?

2014?

[formal wagon]

who has the screenshot of the people saying they were younger than tos and then getting banned?

[ashen perch]

early 2014

[hasty sable]

I started during start of Enies Lobby

[prisma yacht]

Just drop it

[hardy stratus]

you are a old man archer

I am probably half your age

[gritty vigil]

I seriously can't watch it lol

It's nothing compared to one piece

[hardy stratus]

well I probably am not

[hasty sable]

I doubt that

[fast pagoda]

I'm actually 60

[hardy stratus]

you are 30+ right?

[ashen perch]

Archer is like 67 so youre probably right

[hasty sable]

I am 31

[prisma yacht]

Is archer 67 years old

Oh ok

[hasty sable]

[hardy stratus]

i am 8 years younger than you

and 8 years before dressrosa was el

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/echosmp-gif-4002184868323892862

[ashen perch]

wait youre only 5 years older, I thought you would atleast be 36

no offense 😭

[hasty sable]

Damn

[prisma yacht]

Damn

[hardy stratus]

arsal is 26?

[ashen perch]

yeah

[hardy stratus]

I thought you were older than that

[prisma yacht]

He is

[hardy stratus]

I thought you and harsh were same age lol

[ashen perch]

I try to sound younger but it doesnt work

Harsh is only like 9 months older

[hardy stratus]

so you are 9 months younger than I imagined you to be

smh

[ashen perch]

yeah thats not much of a difference atleast smh

someone said I sounded 30+ the other day here which was actually insane

I dont sound that old

frfr

[hardy stratus]

3 years older than me and started OP the same time as me

smh

shame

[prisma yacht]

bro added the frfr just to sound young

[ashen perch]

technically I watched my first episode of OP in like 2010 or earlier

[rustic coral]

i have no clue what you sound like

which makes me think you are 50

[hardy stratus]

I haven't heard arsal in vc

no one other than Mip has heard me as well anyway

[ashen perch]

I just didnt pick it up until early 2014

[hardy stratus]

I don't talk in vc other than in my mahjong server

[gritty vigil]

You guys are ancient

[rustic coral]

back when you were 34?

[ashen perch]

I have never spoken in VC, I think Doom accidentally called me one day but I cant recall if I spoke anything

[rustic coral]

Its time to reveal yourself

[fast pagoda]

I forget how much older some of you guys are

[rustic coral]

I'll be in VC

[ashen perch]

I was only 10...

[hardy stratus]

I only speak in mahjong server cuz without it, playing mahjong isn't as fun

and I love my friday mahjong nights

[ashen perch]

I dont even have a mic right now its fine, I like not revealing my voice

[gritty vigil]

How was the community back in those days

[hardy stratus]

just talk on laptop nerd

[prisma yacht]

Fed is waiting for u in the vc arsal

[ashen perch]

[hardy stratus]

[fast pagoda]

I joined this server when I was 18 back in 2022 right after end of wano

[ashen perch]

no voice = aura

[prisma yacht]

[hardy stratus]

Bman you are just 2 years younger than me

[gritty vigil]

[prisma yacht]

An infant

[ashen perch]

hey I do too

but it was nice when the fanbase collectively loved the series...

too many people hating to hate now

[prisma yacht]

Hi room

[hardy stratus]

final arc does that to people

[prisma yacht]

No sleepy sleepy

[gritty vigil]

Wish I could experience 2014 one piece

[hardy stratus]

speaking as probably the sole liker of Naruto final arc

[dense snow]

I am in the manga phase after yrs

[gritty vigil]

No you guys are unc

[dense snow]

we forget sleep

[hardy stratus]

good Room

[dense snow]

[prisma yacht]

Dang

[ashen perch]

its funny that we still didnt have a big revisionism wave on Naruto

[hardy stratus]

I am working on my paper while talking here fr

[ashen perch]

Bleach kinda got that atleast

[prisma yacht]

[dense snow]

I see u on all time

[hardy stratus]

I am working on it I swear!

[dense snow]

bro needs to up his attention game

[rustic coral]

Join VC you coward

[hardy stratus]

I have done like

[ashen perch]

but as for OP, the revisonist wave hits every single arc so we're going to be fine

[hardy stratus]

1 section

I had 4 left

[hardy stratus]

tbf I don't want to see anyway

like tired of the shit

people don't deserve a good story

[prisma yacht]

Omedeto

[dense snow]

op is too goated

anyone who hates it is just a nuisance

[fast pagoda]

What kind of revisionism

[rustic coral]

GOROOOOO

[hardy stratus]

nah

[rustic coral]

https://tenor.com/view/luffy-vs-doflamingo-gif-27442087

[ashen perch]

shhh no specifics

[fast pagoda]

My bad

[ashen perch]

oh bman did

[hardy stratus]

ah okay

[dense snow]

[rustic coral]

Like you

[hardy stratus]

I am looking at these

[ashen perch]

just people growing to appreciate the final saga more with time, its like the fans didnt really go back and experience the series again

for that to happen with Naruto

[hardy stratus]

it won't really happen

[gritty vigil]

Most of the community is now just about maintaining the agenda

[hardy stratus]

because people don't really want good story fr

[dense snow]

agenda piece ain't that serious tho

[ashen perch]

smh

[gritty vigil]

It's fun I like it

[hardy stratus]

the thing I was waiting for room

[rustic coral]

You are like the biggest hater after Archer, Arsal

[hardy stratus]

every test passing

We had 4 out of 7 passing until 3 days ago

:kekhands:

[ashen perch]

I am glad you remember the hater phase fed because you'll hear the exact opposite now...

[dense snow]

good way to annoy powerscalers

[gritty vigil]

Always enjoy mihawk sengoku slander

[ashen perch]

these young'ns think that I am Oda's STRONGEST angel

[dense snow]

dunno what I am looking at but

[rustic coral]

You still hate Egghead and Onigashima

Your dead to me

[formal wagon]

thats shuron

[hardy stratus]

heard of Digital Twin?

[formal wagon]

dont try to title steal

[dense snow]

[hardy stratus]

it's a simulation which evolves with your real processes

[ashen perch]

I do mostly like Egghead and Onigashima actually, they are just not in the peaks of the series for me and thats fine

[hardy stratus]

so change to real world should have change in model parameter

[dense snow]

oooo

[hardy stratus]

it's like first step of our methodology

[rustic coral]

So you're a hater...

[hardy stratus]

we had the latter stuff working

with good result

[dense snow]

damn this seems like something u do with raspberrypie and sensors

[ashen perch]

I am a uh, whats the word for it, I am in the middle

[prisma yacht]

No

You hate op

[ashen perch]

I am a middler on Onigashima and Egghead

[rustic coral]

hater

[dense snow]

onigashima is peak

[hardy stratus]

but we could never apply for publication before the result was good in first step

[prisma yacht]

You said egghead has bad pacing

[dense snow]

should be no middle ground fr

[prisma yacht]

That's major hater energy

[prisma yacht]

Trueee

[hardy stratus]

Is shuron the biggest soldier or me who dislikes no arc?

[ashen perch]

thats just true

[prisma yacht]

hater

[hardy stratus]

despite my shitting on EL, it's like a 7.5 still

[prisma yacht]

You hate enies lobby

Bioi

Boooo

[fast pagoda]

How

[dense snow]

I don't dislike any arc as well, but I usually avoid arguments cause I get bored of typing

[ashen perch]

I dont dislike any arc either 😭

[prisma yacht]

7.5 IS TOO LOWWWW

[dense snow]

not in my prime anymore fr

[hardy stratus]

it's still a lot smh

[cold steppe]

Too high

[rustic coral]

it's a 6.67 at most

[gritty vigil]

Marineford best

[prisma yacht]

Bioi

[ashen perch]

Egghead is also an 8/10 for me, Onigashima somewhere around a 7.5

[cold steppe]

5.5 max

[hardy stratus]

also this room

[prisma yacht]

Major hater vibes from the chat

[fast pagoda]

Egghead is a 7.5, Elbaph so far is a 9

[ashen perch]

as Oda's strongest angel, my standards for Oda are higher than yours

thats all

[fast pagoda]

Wano is an 8

[dense snow]

every op arc is 9+, the sample scores are 9.01, 9.15,9.24 etc

[rustic coral]

Wano is a 9.5

[dense snow]

[rustic coral]

WCI is a 10/10

[gritty vigil]

Sabaody Archipelago arc 😍

[rustic coral]

Dressrosa is a 10/10

[prisma yacht]

Is this what you tell urself at night to sleep

[ashen perch]

WCI is indeed a 10/10

[rustic coral]

Egghead is a 9/10

[ashen perch]

Dressrosa too

[prisma yacht]

Based

[hardy stratus]

but you haven't read as many peak fantasy as me and don't find OP better than them all

[barren token]

Every arc is a 6/10 except my favourite

[hardy stratus]

so I am the strongest angel fr

[ashen perch]

fair fair

[knotty root]

Even fishman island?

[hardy stratus]

only talk to me after you have read LOTR, Wheel of Time, Stormlight,

asoiaf

[dense snow]

[hardy stratus]

and then prefer OP to all of them

[ashen perch]

I do need to get into the world of fantasy one day, I do need to get into a lot

[prisma yacht]

Does watching count

[dense snow]

boooks, I sleep

[hardy stratus]

only Discworld better than OP fr

[rustic coral]

Only arc that is trash is Whiskey Peak and maybe Syrup Village

[ashen perch]

thats like a big blind spot for me, eventually tho...

[hardy stratus]

and it took it 41 books to be that

[gritty vigil]

Ngl I enjoyed long ring long land more than Fishmen island

[prisma yacht]

Whatt syrup village is so good

[barren token]

Let's not get hasty here

[rustic coral]

keep yourself safe...

[knotty root]

Long ring long land has its fans yeah

[ashen perch]

Wit Piece will save Syrup Village and Whiskey Peak

[rustic coral]

Whiskey Peak is a 3.5/10

[dense snow]

Back to reading more, have fun y'all

[gritty vigil]

But now I think it wasn't that bad

[prisma yacht]

Cya room

I'm gonna head to bed

[barren token]

How

[hardy stratus]

reading what?

[gritty vigil]

It was funny

[prisma yacht]

Goodnight

[gritty vigil]

Gn

[dense snow]

kaguya sama

[barren token]

Whisky peak is fun

[rustic coral]

The Liveaction already fixed Whiskey Peak and turned it into a 8.5/10 arc somehow

[hardy stratus]

I should get locked in too ig

??????

[rustic coral]

Cry bout it Goro

[prisma yacht]

Whiskey peak is fun yes

[hardy stratus]

sybau federick

[ashen perch]

Wit Piece will do it better, trust

[knotty root]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-la-mr-8-mister-8-igaram-igarappoi-gif-13465804602989117394

[barren token]

I thought we got over luffy fighting zoro and just took it for the fun it was

[ashen perch]

actually one of the rare few series I did complete in the recent 5 years, have fun

[rustic coral]

Little Garden is also better in the liveaction btw but you are not ready...

[hardy stratus]

?????

are you even a OP fan

[rustic coral]

did you watch it

[hardy stratus]

idk liking OPLA is one thing

[ashen perch]

I am over Luffy v Zoro but it'd be cool if the arc didnt have it

[barren token]

Is it actually

[prisma yacht]

😭

[ashen perch]

no

[barren token]

I didnt like season 1 so didnt watch 2

[hardy stratus]

preferring it to any OP arc in manga tells me you ain't a OP fan

[barren token]

Maybe i should because robina dn vivi are hot

[hardy stratus]

s2 is definitely an improvement cunk

but it's still bad

[knotty root]

Season 2 is a much better improvement

[ashen perch]

Oda has evolved as a writer since then

[knotty root]

Idk if they can keep it up with alabasta lol

[rustic coral]

i didnt like S1 much either, S2 is much better

[knotty root]

Sadly we defienetly won't be getting usopp noise

[hardy stratus]

yeah atleast I can agree s2 is much better than s1

it changes a 2/10 adaptation to maybe a 4/10

[rustic coral]

it was like a 6/10 adaptation

[barren token]

I heard they fucked up the luffy vs Mr 3 fignt

[rustic coral]

Nah

Was fun

[ashen perch]

Season 1 was legitimately bad, which is why I dont really have much faith in Season 2

[knotty root]

Fuck up is a harsh word

[ashen perch]

but we'll see

[barren token]

Like it doesnt have the "instinct" moment

[rustic coral]

The Usopp moments more than made up for it

[ashen perch]

I will watch it, for the same reasons as Cunk...

[hardy stratus]

wtf arsal

[knotty root]

It's certainly not the best of all time but it certainly wasn't horrible

[hardy stratus]

you were fucking defending OPLA earlier

when you fucking agree with me

[rustic coral]

S1 was good for the first 4 episodes, then fell off

[hardy stratus]

wtf

[rustic coral]

he doesnt agree with you

he is not a HATER like you

[hardy stratus]

he says s1 was legitimately bad

[barren token]

Only thing I enjoyed abojt season 1 was helmeppo unironically

[hardy stratus]

it's the same thing federick!!!

[ashen perch]

I havent seen Season 2 smh

[hardy stratus]

it's better than s1 atleast arsalwise

[prisma yacht]

I haven't watched s1

[formal wagon]

coby subplot is better than the manga

[ashen perch]

I wouldnt agree with you on that, maybe, probably

[hardy stratus]

meh

[rustic coral]

I watched half of S1

[knotty root]

Helmeppo's design was so off for me that I couldn't liek him at all

[hardy stratus]

that's the part like I hate the most mailbox

[knotty root]

Not even after the glow up

[prisma yacht]

So I watched s2 directly

[hardy stratus]

like I hate from my guts

90% of my hate for s1 is from koby-garp subplot

[barren token]

Coby sub-plot is better because helmeppo is there

[prisma yacht]

Garp is not garp in la

[hardy stratus]

RIGHT

so yall agree with me smh

I am just tad bit more passionate

[prisma yacht]

S1 is ass

[ashen perch]

I do agree that Season 1 isnt good

[hardy stratus]

idk. a 7/10 show but 2/10 adaptation

that's s1

[ashen perch]

although I will defend it actually, to some extent

[hardy stratus]

if i am separating it from OP, it's a wonderful show

[rustic coral]

Cinema btw, and I'm a zoro hater
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDIj2sp5orM

[hardy stratus]

7/10 show is good

[gritty vigil]

It got my sis into one piece who dislikes anime

[prisma yacht]

S2 first ep , drum island were genuinely so good

[fast pagoda]

Fishman Island i used to not like but its grown on me a lot

[ashen perch]

I think its fine for newcomers, theres still enough there for them to be gravitated towards the series itself through it

[prisma yacht]

And ofc every robin scene

[ashen perch]

I have a friend who got into OP through Season 1

[barren token]

I've only seen tbe first ep of season 2

[fast pagoda]

I didnt really like the loguetown episode

[hardy stratus]

if a friend of mine watched OPLA before manga or anime

[ashen perch]

I think its cool that it exists, I am not a hater for sure

[hardy stratus]

our friendship ends fr

[gritty vigil]

I'm too lazy to watch season 2

[barren token]

And the part where luffy laughs like the joker was....

[fast pagoda]

Dragons acting was not good and the smoker ice cream scene was done poorly

Also barto felt a bit forced

[hardy stratus]

so ig we share same opinion on how it is but I am just more passionate

[fast pagoda]

and the random sabo cameo

[hardy stratus]

yeah I can take that

[barren token]

He didnt seem like a guy smiling in the face of death he seemed like a guy freaking out and having a breakdown

[ashen perch]

I have told him to wait for Wit Piece, but he did watch the anime, some of it

[prisma yacht]

Dragon scene was so ass

😭

[hardy stratus]

Zoro was also super bad

"Top 10 Zoro moments" ahh Zoro

[ashen perch]

wasnt too big of a fan, which is part of why I am so passionate about my hate for the anime

[fast pagoda]

I wouldve been fine if it was just that one scene with nami

[ashen perch]

its just too difficult to get into for a newer audience

[fast pagoda]

Agree

[prisma yacht]

Zoro was hot

So it's forgivable

[fast pagoda]

Also I dont like them calling baroque works pirates

[rustic coral]

I am like Goro but for the anime

[ashen perch]

same

[prisma yacht]

Also he had that PTSD

So it was good

[fast pagoda]

And i dont get why they were attacking marines in the first place

[ashen perch]

the one thing that OPLA gets right is the cast

[gritty vigil]

Sanji was also hot but he had British accent

[ashen perch]

I have seen them outside of the show, and they have the right energy too

[rustic coral]

the accent is goated tho

[gritty vigil]

French would've been better

[hardy stratus]

exactly word per word what I said

[gritty vigil]

Yeah I don't mind it tbh

[hardy stratus]

exactly word per word what I said

[rustic coral]

no you didnt

[ashen perch]

I also really like the soundtrack

[fast pagoda]

Little garden was mostly great but they ruined ms goldenweek

[hardy stratus]

I did fed

[rustic coral]

no you didnt smh

[hardy stratus]

this I didn't say

[ashen perch]

I think the team does a great job at translating the vibe into live action

the sound team

[past flax]

you free thinkers in here still going off

[fast pagoda]

And i dont like baroque works giving wapol his devil fruit

[hardy stratus]

I like the ost but I just prefer anime ost a lot

[hardy stratus]

Arsal revealed his true colors and said the same takes as me for OPLA

[fast pagoda]

Why did they make her Sugar

[hardy stratus]

after you went away

[ashen perch]

thats fair yea, I do prefer the anime ost too but that gets repetitive because Toei is really bad!

[barren token]

They should adapt one piece into a Broadway musical

[hardy stratus]

fair!

[prisma yacht]

I didn't realise that

[past flax]

@ashen perch this true son?

[ashen perch]

I like listening to the anime ost

but I dont like listening to it in the anime, as much

[formal wagon]

they should adapt one piece into a manga

[ashen perch]

kinda, but I am not as much of a hater smh

[barren token]

This guy listens to anime osts get him

[hardy stratus]

I am just tad bit more passionate

while just sharing the same takes

(also cuz East Blue is like 10/10 for me)

[past flax]

goro trying to get you in trouble smh

[hardy stratus]

not really luci

he just word per word said what I said

[ashen perch]

we all listen to anime osts, anyone who says they dont are lying...

[rustic coral]

East Blue is like a 6.5/10 for me

[fast pagoda]

Arsal what are your top 5 OP ops

[hardy stratus]

yeah that's the difference

[ashen perch]

uuuh

[rustic coral]

that i have good taste... true

[hardy stratus]

I like that arc way more than you so the thing it didn't get right was worse for me

shrimple

[prisma yacht]

East blue is solid 9/10 for me

[past flax]

none of these guys in here fuck with super powers even though its peak opening sighs

[rustic coral]

who is we

i like super powers

[prisma yacht]

Link the opening ur talking about

[barren token]

East blue is a 8.3

[hardy stratus]

[hardy stratus]

if they were good, I would have

[fast pagoda]

Bon voyage is good

[ashen perch]

we can aside, I dont like that one

I liked the egghead op

[past flax]

[barren token]

The good one not tbe bad one

[ashen perch]

Bon Voyage is top 10 for sure

[fast pagoda]

The new op with aina the end is good

But i wish they brought hiroshi for the first elbaph op

[hardy stratus]

they should have gotten akfg to do a opening

wym Luminous is good

3 straight heaters in a row until this one

It’s alright

[gritty vigil]

Share the world is my fav

[blazing depot]

I’m spoiler blind too I’m on YOUR side

[urban lodge]

27 isn't THAT good

[fast pagoda]

One thing I will say that might sound crazy

[urban lodge]

Compared to the other two at least

[noble carbon]

I understand but people are stupid

[somber flare]

27 is very good

[fast pagoda]

The last 2 openings are very good but they dont feel as One Piece as other openings

[somber flare]

Probably the worst out of the 3 but it’s still top tier

[past flax]

youss jumpscare

[gritty vigil]

The peak 🔥

[noble carbon]

Just don't mention them anywhere so you don't get some dumbass talking about them here

[somber flare]

The peak was also really good but the opening visuals are a bit worse than the other recent ones

You look through a hole for 50% of it

[past flax]

my uncle oda told me something can i say it youss

[prisma yacht]

Penny

[gritty vigil]

What about uuuuuus

[prisma yacht]

No gold?

[urban lodge]

No...

[noble carbon]

Your uncle Oda is a liar and I don't trust him

[somber flare]

I think 27 is the best out of the “emotional” songs

[urban lodge]

But I still have to vote from my laptop

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/ahh-dance-gif-12728768147103441313

[gritty vigil]

I don't remember 27, is it Bonney and Kuma flashback one?

[somber flare]

Yea

[past flax]

dont talk about my uncle like that...

[gritty vigil]

It was good but not the best

I hated it at first but it grew on me

[urban lodge]

It's good but the other two are just so incredible that it doesn't compare

[gritty vigil]

I liked it better than carmine ngl

[urban lodge]

I'm ngl I don't even remember the song

So for this one I'm just thinking about the visuals

[prisma yacht]

@gloomy tree

[somber flare]

I think all 3 egghead openings are in my top 5

I think in general modern anime openings are way better than any previous era

[rose rune]

If the branch of a company is destroyed, does that count?

[prisma yacht]

[urban lodge]

What if Brulee is destroyed?

[formal wagon]

katakuri probably dies in that situation

[fast pagoda]

What if katakuri was a cat
