already prepared to cry thnx
By Laboured Go To PostDid he map the story?Back in 09, Miura said the story was 60-70% done so I imagine he had the broad ending planned out. Maybe even rough manuscripts/storyboards of future chapters.
Nah we good. Told y'all I thought it would continue.

By punished sy Go To PostThanks. I think I might start reading starting at the post marineford arc. I got the gist of everything before that from when I used to read it but I am hazy on pretty much every crew member's backstory so I might just start from chapter 1.tbh it gets pretty poor after marineford arc, and doesn't pick up until dressrosa. that's only like a 100 chapters, but i'd just watch some youtube summaries
As much as I shit on Bleach, the new one shot did make me feel a lil nostalgic
edit: one shot ends on a cliff hanger/set up for a whole new arc. Maybe a monthly serialization?

By punished sy Go To Postthe actual best arc
people only hate it because it's dark AF. Can't wait ;_; the hypest and greatest last fight you'll ever witness in anime/manga form no cap
By domino Go To PostBleach continuing is just lolThe one shot was actually pretty good. All the best things about Bleach in an extended chapter. Great character design, art and an intriguing mystery box set up.
Can’t act like I won’t be reading it though
But Bleach's problem has always been what happens after the set up. Kubo makes shit up as he goes along and the story usually peters out into incoherent nonsense which is bad even by the normal, low bar set by manga storytelling.
By Not Go To PostNever seen JoJo. Should I start with thisDon't start at all
By Not Go To PostNever seen JoJo. Should I start with thisdefinitely not, start with 3 or you'll be super confused.
So I'm reading One Piece from the beginning, and I get to this SBS excerpt where Oda talks about OP getting an OVA back in 1998, less than 50 chapters into the manga serialization.
The success of the OVA greenlit the full anime by Toei. The OVA is pretty gorgeous, really like the take on the designs here and tons of nice animation work.
I hope it gets a re-release someday. It even features key animation from Yutaka Nakamura, the only time he's ever touched the franchise

One Piece
Up to chapter 50. Mihawk just bodied Zoro. ON the whole, I'm enjoying the East Blue shit a lot more the second round. I remember everything pre 2nd gear Luffy being boring but maybe I'm just appreciating it more since I'm not bingding it at a ridiculous rate. I hate that I enjoy Luffy's dumb interactions so much:
Another surprise is that I'm enjoying the fuck out of Oda's early art. During the big 3 era, it wasn't as cool looking as Naruto/Bleach so I didn't appreciate it's charm. His fundamentals got better over time(but panels got way too busy imo) and I really like just how different his style looks compared to his contemporaries, not to mention the never ending creativity in his chapter covers and spreads. Is he the first dude to side stories as chapter covers? Always thought that was genius.
It's seriously ridiculous how many different illustrations this dude has come up with. Kishimoto and Tite were also bursting with energy early on but that died as Naruto/Bleach got worse. 1000 chapters later, Oda is still putting out crazy shit like:
Definitely gonna pick up one of those artbooks.
I'm not looking forward to Sky Island, that shits probably just as bad as I remember it being.
@ Shanks/Rerixo, you guys seen that Zoro vs Mihawk retelling drawn by Boichi? Some great drawings in there:

I agree with you on Oda's early One Piece drawings, Sy. They had a lot of charm to them. He began to get more detailed around Skypiea I think. Gained more technical ability but lost the quirkiness.
He's a master of the double page spread these days.

damn i forgot how much charm one piece used to have. i kind of hate what oda's art has become, sure the fundamentals have improved but what's the point when you can't even appreciate it because of the clutter. it's such an unreadable style that i can't remember the last time i've appreciated his art. well, b&w art. adding colour to his art does salvage it, but it's not like you get to see that often.
the boichi zoro chapter was dope, and shows how a more skilled artist can handle detailed panels
i think i'm the only one that actually enjoyed skypeia lol, pacing issues but some cool highs

One Piece is unreadable if you're just jumping into one of the current chapters
Clutter is a word for it, but I guess if you start various threads in a single story for twenty years eventually that story just becomes a katamari

huh i don't just jump into random chapters, i'm up to date on the manga. i'm not even a hater, i think it's been fairly decent recently. i just think the art sucks.

Just jumping into most works of fiction would make it unreadable. You wouldn’t start Lord of the Rings half way through the third book and expect to have a clue what is going.
By rerixo Go To Posthuh i don't just jump into random chapters, i'm up to date on the manga. i'm not even a hater, i think it's been fairly decent recently. i just think the art sucks.
The art most certainly doesn’t suck in my opinion. This week’s had some insane art.
I do understand the ‘clutter’ complaint, but it makes the world look so real and full of life. It is worth the time to actually stop and appreciate what is on the page.
This weeks’s chapter was just immense. I don’t think the manga has ever had this good a 25 chapter run. I don’t think Oda has fucked up a single chapter this year.
Oda might not have given the majority of the Straw Hats a lot of room to shine the past decade, especially the women, but he is righting that wrong with Wano.

Glad you are enjoying it. Do miss the goofiness that was on show early on, but not as much time as the stakes have gotten more serious.
Haven’t checked out that Zoro vs Mihawk retelling. Will ha e to add that to my list along with eventually getting around to reading the Ace story.
I wonder if Dipro ever finished the series.
