https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjB5pIITPxw Strictly imho, but the anime has always felt a bit distasteful over just re-reading the series due to time commitment and the filler of it. Bink's Brew is among the only scenes where audio was a real crucial component to it, so even watching a highlight reel feels like a laggy version of how satisfying the page turns are. Never made it paste the first few episodes, though I've seen a few of the Gear 5 stuff. It's neat, but ultimately the timing just feels so padded that I can't help but be bummed they haven't already done a Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood treatment of the series and gone back and re-done the first ten saga's in nice, succinct(er), better animated chapters. It's a dense and long enough story you don't need to DBZ it. Yet that's most of what I recall seeing the anime spends it time doing. All those examples don't help. Each clip just has so. much. padding. of flashbacks and beats that (again, imo) you set yourself when you read the comic. There is totally a timing to the comic panels -- Robin's I WANT TO LIVE is a great great great example of this -- where you mirror the large SAY YOU WANT TO LIVE with her admitting it. In the comic version all the between panels are short, quick, simple that lets you read them in quick succession before seeing her admission. The imagery used in the anime includes a bunch of stock stuff, including a WHITE ORB RUSHING TOWARDS THE SCREEN OH BOY ITS A REALIZATION. It's... way way way way better in the comic. That page turn, egad. The song slaps tho. CatstropheWaitress fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Sep 12, 2023 |

What scenes go harder in the anime, than they do in the manga?

The part at the end where the song slowly gets simpler as Brook's crewmates are dropping dead mid-playing until it's just him completely alone hits like a fuckin' brick in the anime.

Not that I think the Netflix show will get that far, but I wonder who they would have replace Hachi for that scene where Luffy punches that celestial dragon prick. I will still HOPE that the netflix show gets that far because I just finished it the other day and it’s a better adaptation of the manga than the anime. Also they should pause the anime and do a One Piece kai or something to give themselves some breathing room.

Also Hachi can be introduced as a Fishman who left Arlong because of the treatment of Nami who was trying to get to Jimbei or something and failed.

You gotta post the panels as well for reference numpty The first is interesting because the sequence straight up doesn't exist in the manga. It's a scene that's literally added in between the 1st and 2nd pages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxF0qWWTpXs   And yeah, the first salvo in the opening fight owns bones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha0-qytMD9k   Roof Piece owns

The Red Scabbards arriving to strike the first blow against Kaido was fantastic in both the manga (Chapter 986) and the anime (Episode 995). The final panel in the manga is incredible, but the animation of the rush through the hallway to arrive is outstanding.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDI3PrJC8AI

Roof Piece owns cause up til then Kaido is entirely untouchable save an off-screen confrontation with Shanks. And then it still takes 100ish chapters of characters giving it their all and only making scratches on him until the Gear 5 reveal lets him take actual damage. Wano is good. One Piece is good.

the gear 5 fight is such an insanely cathartic series of episodes after 100 episodes of untouchable kaido. even with the bad pacing its godlike anime. it hits even harder than in the manga imo

RuBisCO posted:I do think the series kinda loses something as the Krieg fight is... kinda the only fight in the series that actually takes advantage of a sea setting and Luffy's weakness to it*? It feels kinda piratey and you feel pretty tense because Luffy's constantly teetering above water. Plus the punch through the spike shield was cool. But yeah otherwise whatever to him personally. Yeah, I can see that. It's just Krieg's whole thing feels like 'how not to pirate' and we already just got that with Kuro and Krieg's whole thing is technology which is fine (except Krieg is also superhumanly strong) so as a side-by-side I don't think him getting clipped by Mihawk takes much away but admittedly Mihawk decimating Krieg's armada because he was bored is a nice sign that the Grand Line isn't fooling around and that's maybe lost a bit in the live action.

The appeal of Krieg to me has always been precisely that he’s actually pretty competent, especially in comparison to Kuro. This probably wasn’t Oda’s intention, though (the SBS makes clear that in his mind Kuro is the smart one, despite that being at odds with how the manga actually portrays him). I like that he was able to match Luffy through a combination of cunning, technology, and strength, despite not having a Devil Fruit, and I like that despite being willing to kill individual members of his crew at the drop of a hat, he understands that he needs his crew as a whole.

the most important part of krieg was it showed that luffy wasnt going to just kick peoples asses, but when confronted with some sort of roadblock he just barrels through anyway. between the darts and the spike cape, luffy just ate damage and overwhelmed krieg in spite of it. its a pretty big character defining moment for him that makes him a different flavor of shounen protagonist.

Skipping Krieg and skipping Sanji watching Mihawk and Zoro fight makes him joining the crew feel like its just because he's "Sanji". Arlong showing up at Baratie chasing a no name pirate is also pretty weak especially since Luffy just gets owned immediately Weakest arc of the live action imo despite the amazing set

I did like that in the initial Arlong/Luffy confrontation in the live action, Luffy does straight up get the better of him in a one-on-one fight which clearly Arlong wasn't expecting, at which point he tosses the seawater on him to drain his strength.

Dawgstar posted:Yeah, I can see that. It's just Krieg's whole thing feels like 'how not to pirate' What are you talking about? Krieg's entire shtick is all about being a pirate. He lies his way into getting a free meal that saves him from the brink of starvation, immediately hard clocks Sanji into the boat floorboard once he finishes, holds everybody up with threat of heavy artillery to feed his men, then pivots around to take Baratie for himself before Mihawk catches up with his vessel. Then on TOP of that he plans to use the unassuming nature of the floating sea restaurant as a surprise strategy to get the jump on every ship that floats across his way for easy layups. Say what you want about Krieg, but he's arguably the most pirate-y pirate in this series, all of the aforementioned is exactly the kind of things Blackbeard would pull and people won't stop sucking his cock over it. Lying, backstabbing, doing whatever you can to get ahead in this sea, that's what most pirates were all about back in the day. White Light fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Sep 13, 2023 |

Having reread the early chapters, you gotta give Krieg props. He thinks he can loving take on Mihawk. This is after Mihawk decimated his crew in the Grand Line and chased them to East Blue to wreck his ship with one slash. This is after Mihawk utterly dominates Zoro, one of the strongest people in East Blue. Krieg sees this and still thinks, "Man, I have a shot at beating him" and picks a fight with Mihawk after Mihawk decides not to murder Krieg and his crew because he had fun fighting Zoro. Man's not smart but he ain't a coward.

Also of the two big East Blue jobbers, Krieg was like at least TRYING to get back on his feet and go for the Grand Line runback against Crocodile. Kuro just gave the gently caress up after getting a 16 million bounty.

Tbh I interpreted that as his colossal ego trip, bro really thought he was hot poo poo when doing pussy crap like flying false colors and doing other war crimes like the poison gas to eke out every advantage possible. He’s kind of deliberately the opposite of Luffy in a clever way; a weak man hiding behind a facade and tricks compared to this goofy Stretch Armstrong kid who yeah has a devil fruit, but it’s really only effective because he can already shatter boulders with his bare hands after years of training.

There was a video on Youtube recently about how Kuro is like the most forgotten character and that even Oda forgot about him but no He's just completely loving irrelevant, especially at the level the story is at. And in the manga, he's ambiguously dead.
