the entire immediate post-timeskip stuff probably was way worse on a weekly read.

Teriyaki Koinku posted:I find it really amusing (and likely intentional by Oda) that the Strawhat with a ridiculously low bounty is kicking serious rear end. Chopper was always held back more by his attitude than his strength, so it's not exactly surprising that when he's up for it and in full control of his devil fruit, he can kick some serious butt.

Cat Machine posted:The current arc kicks major rear end Yeah there's always some arcs that are better on a reread but even with the current schedule being 3 chapters a month, every single chapter in this arc kicks loving rear end and has weight and is worth multiple reads (and makes off-weeks feel empty)

The only cliffhanger you need to fear is 'Break Next Week'

I think Luffy said gear 4th for the first time and then it went on break. That was pretty good.

ThingOne posted:The rebellion succeeding because its leader was too stupid to figure out a simple clue is peak One Piece. Usually plans work because the enemy underestimates how strong Luffy or someone is, so it's really funny to have the opposite happen where a plan work because someone overestimated a Straw Hat ally.

GATOS Y VATOS posted:As somebody who's been aware of One Piece for decades but never got around to reading it because there was so much backlog it was intimidating and then during lockdown realized it was all available through my Shonen Jump subscription and tore through it's entirety in 3 months, it's wild when I read people mention that X character last did Y thing/made an appearance something like 10 years ago. We're all still patiently waiting for Gin to fulfill his promise. Jose posted:forgot how good this is The best part is that the whales all have scars just like Laboon. Because apparently ramming poo poo with their forehead is just the natural instinct of his species.

Len posted:Are the movies with checking out? Baron Omatsuri is a legitimately great movie. It was made by Mamoru Hosoda not long after he left Ghibli, and has a really interesting take on the dreams/friends/adventures themes that One Piece loves so much. It gets dark! Plus, it uses a really unique artstyle that’s nothing like the one from the anime and I think it looks fuckin rad. Film Z is the only other One Piece film I can think of that tries to do anything more than fluff/homage the main story. It has a pretty interesting antagonist and does a decent job of examining the whole “are the marines the good guys? who thought the warlord system was a good idea?!” questions that pops up now and then in the story. Buuuut it’s also the film with the creepiest fan-service (Nami and Robin get conveniently de-aged by a devil fruit!), so it’s something of a mixed bag on the whole.

Strong World is also somewhat canon (or the main villain Shiki is at least)

Len posted:I mean they're bigger than drat near everything else so going through is always an option The movies worth watching are Movie 4, Movie 6, Strong World, Film Z, Gold and Stampede. Personal favourite’s is Strong World and Movie 4. People really love movie 6 for how different it is, but movie 4 captures One Piece’s love of adventure pretty perfectly and has some really awesome animation, artwork and really excellent fight choreography with the bar fight being one of the best scenes in all the above movies for me.

Dead End Adventure, Baron Omatsuri, and everythign after Strong World are all worth a watch imo. Im gonna say Movie 2 was fun also, and its only 50 minutes long so its not a huge investment

i still say the red line is just a massive mountain range and the reason everyone fears the WG and the entirety of one piece's world is so island focused is because they have the ability to flood the entire world. this is how the fishmen came to be and why they have an ark, and why there's a huge hole near enies lobby that the government made a loving triangle around. the WG chose the red line to live on top of because its the only place they could flood the entire world and survive.
