It's amazing to see, like, 90k viewers minimum on the One Piece official broadcast.

Right now it's like 200k.

I don't know a lot about American fans, but do you really think it's popular enough to become passé? Like, maybe the Live Action series has been a real hit over there, but down the border I've talked to a couple of people who've been interested but that's about it

Could. But probably is held back by being a comic and a fairly kid-friendly one to boot. Game of Thrones got where it is by being scandalous soap opera drama (...and great writing, yes, but 'hey did you see those siblings doing it in a tower and then murdering a kid makes for immediately engaging office cooler chat), whereas One Piece you have a guy who fights using cooked noodles coming out of his nose.

I've had a fair amount of people who I've tried to convince to read the series over the years finally giving it a shot (and half that are in it now) following the Netflix release. The barrier of entry is still HIGH, as no one wants to commit to a 1000+ chapter series. But poo poo GoT was also a stupidly long book series too.

Robin's entire vibe post-timeskip is clearly knowing much more than she lets on but she doesn't talk about any of it because Luffy does not give a gently caress.

Also she already knows Luffy would be pissed and quit the entire adventure if she told him.

It's because we humans are absolutely loving terrible at comparing non-visual things. People look at GOT and say to themselves, "Oh, only 5 books" that's definitely less than 1100 chapters. Despite almost any person being able to read all of One Piece quicker than they do A Song of Ice and Fire.

It doesn't help that for some reason a lot of the fandom like to hype up how long it is when talking about it. Trying to sell "25 years and over 1,000 chapters" isn't nearly as effective as "It's got about 10 main arcs". Especially when most people are going to think it's book chapter length, when we're talking much more like comic book issues.

They need to give it the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood treatment and start over now, with better animation and no filler.

The problem with that is not just that it's a MASSIVE undertaking but also that One Piece, especially in the back half, is dense enough to support its current non-seasonal structure. The cuts would get less and less substantial.

e: on the other hand, maybe they could fix Reverse Mountain so that a bunch of it isn't inexplicably taken up by a filler villain

Yeah, at this point it might be easier to just give it the Kai treatment rather than reanimating everything from scratch

Redoing One Piece from the beginning would mostly just be changing the aspect ratio for the first almost 6 years of it's run. I think even the Loguetown filler is fully quarantined in it's own episodes.

Didn’t Dressrosa drag a bit in the manga as well (though the anime version made it worse)?

It looks like Shanks uses his Haki to stop Greenbull from moving and then suppresses his fruit somehow? I didn’t get that from the manga at all

I think greenbull was deactivating his power to indicate he didn't want to fight the enormous haki presence he was sensing but its hard to say for sure.

I was worried that Coby would capture Boa off-panel to show how strong he'd become post timeskip. Instead, she wrecked his poo poo but also there were Blackbeard shenanigans. Then, just when I thought that pink-haired nerd was gonna end up a chump, he punches the arm of an island off. I love this series.

ye. one cool thing w boa is that she was introduced as a master of haki and has largely not been expanded upon since, so oda can realistically make her as competent in a fight as he wants and it won't seem wacky

I guess that's fair, but kind of weird from my perspective. Kid was a bad dude, but he wasn't weak. We saw that in his fights with Kaido and Big Mom. My takeaway from that wipeout was that Shanks was really strong. It was really cool and well deserved and all that, but not because Kid was all talk. Shanks did that to someone who was in fact Luffy's near-peer. That's way more hosed up and crazy cool than Kid actually just being "useless Craptian Mid".

my takeaway was that oda didn't feel like drawing a longer battle and is pretty relaxed about power scaling stuff tbh

tbf the wg doesn't say the nika fruit is necessarily it's only name, but rather that it's "also" that, so the gum gum still exists i guess.

maybe this is just pedantic, but isn't it the Hito Hito no Mi Model : Nika (as in, NOT Model : Sun God Nika)?

i ask cuz if skypeia is anything to go by, the story seems to come down on the idea that ther aren't really "gods" at play, it's just how people think of things

side note but i slightly curious if Joy boy ends up doing something oden-esque when we finally learn his story. he's SO emphasized at "making people laugh", but oden did this with a funny dance as well.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
Being a cartoon is a property of rubber, because you can put silly putty over the funny pages and then it transfers over to the silly putty. Mash it back up and being a cartoon is now an intrinsic property of that silly putty. Very straightforward.

I wonder what Oda's perspective on Jesus/Christianity is. Even from early days there's been references (Sodom/Gomorroah as names of Franky's King Bulls) or Kuma carrying a bible. Now Kuma is literally taking on the pain of others which is a Jesus parallel if ever there was one let alone him being a "pastor."
