https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuP2vwxDMkg Yep, that's Coby and Helmeppo. Captain and Lieutenant Commander respectively. Film Z effort post coming later tonight if the end of the episode tonight is what I expect it will be. Also, I believe there's filler confirmed for December, so hopefully the pacing for the next arc will be decent.

Just watched 572. Is it just me, or did the anime make Tashigi's breasts larger? I don't remember them being that comically large in the manga. Also I miss the light green color the anime used for Smoker's hair before.

 Yay, Smoker and Tashigi! Smoker's hair color was always white in the manga, so I guess they decided to go from green to white to show aging and stress.

Now that Fishman Island is over, I was kind of disappointed that octopus swordsman never did anything at all. He poisoned Luffy and it seemed like he did it on accident. So I figured something might have been up with him, but then he just turned out like the others and took all the drugs and everything and he's too old to return like Buggy or something. In short, I felt a little disappointed he wasn't as important as he was made out to be.

It's as Zoro told him when he compared him to a frog in a well: he peaked at being 'strongest in Fishman Island' but never progressed beyond that, while Zoro wants to be the best in the entire world. At the beginning of the series, Zoro was feared throughout the East Blue and and then along came Mihawk from the Grand Line (out of boredom, no less) to show him the difference between them, not just in physical strength but experience in facing different types of opponents that force you to improve your tactics.

It's wasn't quite that I was expecting him to be exceptionally powerful, but he did stand up to a JET Pistol and even poison Luffy. And when he said he *accidentally* poisoned Luffy, I thought he'd turn out to be an undercover agent or *something*, but he just became as generic as the other Fishmen.

Philosopher King posted:So Usopp is like a lovely batman? Actually I'd say he's like a good Batman, because Batman's preparations, intellect and gadgets have gotten absolutely idiotic over the decades to the point where he rarely seems to lose and most people expect him to win even against opponents like Superman. Something the actual comics back up given his win to lose ratio against people of that caliber. Usopp remains a human and interesting character because you know he's still scared inside most of the time and putting on a brave face, that a lot of the time he wins through lies and bravado as opposed to, or at least in conjunction with, gadgets and over complicated plans. He even losses on a pretty regular basis. He still acts like a person around his friends, and gives a lot of humanity to a crew of otherwise (awesome) freaks because he reacts so normally to the poo poo they do. Bruce Wayne is nothing but a disguise in many ways to Batman, and it makes the character feel less than human because he's so superhumanely focused and attached to his cause. Not that Batman doesn't have stories that portray him better than that mind, across a variety of mediums, but there's a lot of bad Batman stuff out there and it's somewhat colored perception of the character over the years. tsob fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Nov 12, 2012 |

Wow, I forgot how fantastic the beginning of Thriller Bark was. Brook's intro is great, and everything that's the crew, minus Nami, Usopp and Chopper, facing spooky things is just hilarious. So, What are you doing here? Well, zombi stuff. Being buried, rotting.

Shadow0 posted:What, like the explosive tree wolf thing? No, more like having rockets that can take you to space buried under your mansion, plans to take down all your friends in horrific ways should they ever stop being so friendly and being a master of almost all the various scientific fields, most every martial art ever, the world's greatest detective, versed in several languages and various other disciplines. Usopp being able to make some explosives and provide a couple of fun gadgets that make Oda's job as a story teller easier aren't going to result in him taking down Kizaru, becoming a genius in practically every discipline imaginable or anything of the sort. He's still limited and human when compared to the people around him, even with a bag full of cool poo poo. Batman doesn't have that constraint and is in many ways more superhuman/inhuman and powerful than most of the rest of the world of American Superheroes, up to and including Superman, a guy who can tug planets around and take a comfortable stroll on the surface of a star or black hole.

Basically it was an exploding shell with a cool effect behind it. And he's had those before, remember? Off the top of my head, when he fired his slingshot at the flag during the Enies Lobby fight, it looked like a burning phoenix. I'm assuming, of course, that had the nose not gotten hit, the wolf itself would have not done jack diddly. The reason his fight in Fishman Island seemed straightforward was that it was... Oda is basically showing you the simple, straightforward uses for all of his new ammo. But Usopp's ability is unconventional tactics. This is a guy who used wine as a flammable material, ketchup as a blood-fakeout, and two cooking pans and some paper mache as a fake giant hammer. Basically, expect to see those same ammos used in really weird ways in the future. Bobulus fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Nov 15, 2012 |

Superman was always my least favorite hero because seriously you may as well list what he can't do. "He can leap tall buildings in a single bound" not that it really matters because he can loving fly. I will never understand how a man that powerful takes an hour and a half to stop anyone.

World of Cardboard rule - he's constantly holding back so he doesn't just kill everyone with a single punch. At least, that's what he said himself. Anyway, when's the new movie coming out? How soon do you think we'll have a decent dub? EDIT: "gently caress you, we're gonna wreck up the place" happens surprisingly often in One Piece filler. Hell, I can think of at least three filler arcs that ended that way. It's pretty much the best. SatansBestBuddy fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Nov 16, 2012 |

Superman is great when he's written well. You've got essentially a human god which gives you access to a lot of interesting takes on things, takes which of course DC rarely manages to examine. Really the most common problem seems to be that Batman writers really want to write a Superman story and Superman writers are trying their best to write a Batman story. How can I gimp my demigod down a few notches to human? I don't know, I'm busy trying to figure out how to make my human into a demigod. In One Piece Anime related text, I watched the Foxy filler that followed Thriller Bark for the first time. Even with two stupid filler kids and Foxy idiocy it was actually kind of enjoyable. I honestly was not expecting the response to a kidnapping to be "gently caress you, we're gonna wreck up the place."

Strong World dub is next year sometime and there were quickly retracted rumors from Funimation (with episode numbers and everything) about them acquiring Season 6 (Thriller Bark to Impel Down) and Z at the same time as Season 5 and Strong World. But the soonest they would be dubbed, if true, would be 2014.

I can't fathom a reason why would they even go for Avril Lavigne, it seems weirdly inadequate for a trailer, even more so for an anime trailer. Other than that, this was the first time I saw anything of the new movie and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm not sure how much input Oda has, but considering that Z entered production long after Bonney was introduced I would imagine she either isn't using a devil fruit to achieve that effect on Nami, or got the same effect by a different fruit. She may have simply shrunk Nami rather than de-aging her for instance. Her face doesn't really look younger, or even particularly smaller - just closer to the ground. I think I recall reading in the manga thread that Oda has as much input in it as with Strong World, and it would seem to make sense considering that Z seems to be put on a par with Whitebeard and Roger in the trailer - I could just be making it up in my head though. Momomo posted:Sounds exactly like any other trailer with JPop in it to me, it's just someone we recognize this time. Yea, I've no issue with Avril Lavinge being used, or even her voice - jpop is no different after all, I just wish she'd made an original song for the trailer/film, because neither song used really suits what's actually happening in the trailer. Both are too slow for something that's so full of quick cuts and action I think.

On the aging fruit it's diffrent but similer. Ain A. Only makes things younger B. Ain's powers work on anything C. Has to touch target to use power on it Bonney A. Make things Younger or Older B. Only works on Living things C. Does not need to touch to use powers

Watching that trailer again, Whitebeard looks weird with long blond hair and his trademark giant white mustache.MonsterEnvy posted:On the aging fruit it's diffrent but similer. How do you write yourself into a place where you need to mostly copy an already existing Devil Fruit ability? At least if is was a Zoanish plot requisite power you wouldn't be going against the feel of devil fruits. Hell even a Logia lets you play with different similar but different "elements". Paramecia powers on the other hand I don't think we've ever seen have similar powers. I guess there was the one guy at Enies Lobby who ate a berry fruit that sort of kind of gave him similar disembodiment powers to Buggy.
