The White Dragon posted:One of my favorite things about One Piece is the OP/EDs are like an evolutionary record of shonen directing styles and anime j-pop from the late 90s until today It also exemplifies that modern isn't always better. The last good OP was Share the World (We Go was alright, though).

Asuron posted:I don't like his work to be honest with you. I don't like how he tends to make everything become extremely wavy and the bodies start to look like they're made of water and start going off model. I always appreciated Oda's artstyle for everything being very direct and everything looking like it has a ton of impact which is the opposite of how this guy likes to animate the scenes.  , though I think it works better with the older animation, when they had more budget (Luffy vs Lucci is one of the best fights of the series, hands down)

Your Dunkle Sans posted:Yeah, there's some plot holes I'm noticing on a re-read/watch. This arc is dragged on far too long, it deflates the intended tension and could have really been made more concise. It's running into the whole "Namek's gonna blow up in 5 minutes!" issue. It drags in the manga, too. It must be insane in the Anime.

The pacing starts to get fairly bad throughout the water 7/Enis Lobby Arc, bit the content is still good. By the End of Thriller Bark, you're better off just switching to the Manga in all honesty, because Toei Animation stops giving a crap, so besides everything being dragged out to hell in the most boring way possible (repeating jokes or stetching them out so long it's no longer funny, fights that are supposed to be quick get dragged out so much it makes the heroes look much weaker than they are), the animation quality takes a huge nosedive, and you'll get a million years of repeated animation of people running . Not to mention whenever they do try to add content, the usual screw it up, like putting in a filler flashback of a later villain that directly contradicts his actual backstory and ruins the central theme of said arc

It's slightly better now; Oda typically gets a week off every 3 weeks or so But yeah, the Manga industry is insane (and not in a good way). Most mangaka put up with similar conditions, and it's part of why having assistants can be invaluable.

I know these are dying forums and all, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned yet that there's a new OP for OP's hour long special:https://youtu.be/5VYOjL4sgN4 It's surprisingly good, definitely the best OP since WE GO at the start of the timeskip, I guess my only gripe is it doesn't quite feel like an appropriate song for OP, but I guess it works.

There are Blu rays and the like put out by Funimation, though they're way behind (I believe theyre still at the fishman island arc?). Though i have to give the spiel of the OP Manga>>>>>>>>>>>OP Anime after timeskip. There are also tons of other great shonen you could show your Nephew that have dubs for sale, including My Hero Academia.

When fan translations got to him, people were split on calling him Katakuri or Dogtooth, so multiple people referred to him as such, even after the official Viz Translations came out. And his name is a reference to the flower, which is edible and can be used to make starch, whether or not the "dog-tooth" part was intentional

Yes, infact most of them are food/cooking/kitchen themed. Obviously there's Pudding (Purin). There's Daifuku, which is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.

The new Anime OP is out, and while it's interesting and cool in its it's own right, there are so many spoilers in there, including at least one major spoiler, that I feel bad for the anime watchers since they're gonna lose the surprise of so many big moments in this upcoming arc.

While I agree that it's egregious, I'd say that them padding out a moment to build tension works way more effectively than stretching out comedy bits to the point of being no longer funny, or making cakewalk fights seem like struggles, which ruins the power balancing. What they could have done to fix that particular scene was to simply animate Oars shaking during close ups of his body and show more ice cracking, as it would build up the tension more and make it feel like things are actually happening in comparison. Also as an aside, dub Moria's voice is god awful.

Either way, that was kind of fun and I'd sort of like to see more stories set in that particular universe. It was the original one shot Oda did that got One Piece the greenlight for serialization. Basically a prototype, or an alternative universe version of One Piece.

Gripweed posted:I'm watching it pretty quickly. I've been doing one episode a day for the past couple weeks. I'm excited to see Luffy beat up Klahadore tomorrow. The anime is a pretty good entry-way into the series, but I sincerely recommend switching over to the manga either after the Eines Lobby arc or the Sabondy arc. The pacing will get bad to the point where it actively ruins the comedy, tension, and character fights.

Here's what I found looking up info on Wikipedia:quote:One Piece: Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack!was produced by Production I.G for the 1998 Jump Super Anime Tour and was directed by Gorō Taniguchi.[58] Luffy, Nami, and Zoro are attacked by a sea monster that destroys their boat and separates them. Luffy is found on an island beach, where he saves a little girl, Medaka, from two pirates. All the villagers, including Medaka's father have been abducted by Ganzack and his crew and forced into labor. After hearing that Ganzack also stole all the food, Luffy and Zoro rush out to retrieve it. As they fight the pirates, one of them kidnaps Medaka. A fight starts between Luffy and Ganzack, ending with Luffy's capture. Meanwhile, Zoro is forced to give up after a threat is made to kill all the villagers. They rise up against Ganzack, and while the islanders and pirates fight, Nami unlocks the three captives. Ganzack defeats the rebellion and reveals his armored battleship. The Straw Hat Pirates are forced to fight Ganzack once more to prevent him from destroying the island. So yeah, never a proper adaptation.

Shadow0 posted:Kaido's breath weapon seems to have a pretty inconsistent damage output. Though, of course, in anime, flesh is infinitely more durable than rocks. This is on Toei's part. In the manga you don't see how kaido specifically attacks Speed/Otama, and Luffy blocking a direct shot from Kaido is filler added to extend the scene.

Shadow0 posted:Aside from one guy shouting the word "Stampede", the title really didn't have much to do with the movie. Nah, the movies have been one every few years now, so they've been better paced. Also yeah, it's probably best to think of Raftel as a Gol D. Roger situation, where everyone thought it was Gold Roger/Raftel, but it was actually Gol D. Roger/Laugh Tale, Raftel was always written in Katakana before the movie Stampede, where it was written in English as Laugh Tale, and yeah it became confirmed that this is what Oda intended.

Amante posted:Manga reader here, but still watching the anime with a friend who'll never read it. As someone who originally transitioned to the manga in Thriller Bark, I'm definitely noticing a drop in animation quality and pacing, but watching the One Pace episodes has kept things tolerable. They're actually canon, not filler, but in the manga they were told via 'cover stories' where each week the first page of the chapter had a single panel showing what the other strawhat were doing, and it did this all throughout Impel Down/Marineford War/Aftermath. The anime just waited until later to tell them all as complete chunks so that way you know everyone's status before the timeskip. I wouldn't skip them.

Larryb posted:Wasn’t it spelled out that way in the series prior to that (I want to say during the Skypeia arc)? Until Stampede came out, it was always written in Japanese katakana as ラフテル (Ra-fu-te-ru), and it wouldn't be apparently obvious that that's supposed to be English "Laugh Tale" or a made up fantasy word. And outside of that movie, it wasn't revealed to be Laugh Tale in series until the Oden Flashback
