The tragedy is that one dude took out his entire militia without even getting scratched.

Especially since This has been the release method for at least a year (probably longer?) with 3 weeks on 1 week off. Unless I'm missing something, there is absolutely no reason to JUST NOW think "Oh my god they're going monthly!"

Hopefully it's allowed him to ease up his schedule, I recall him saying in an interview he only got like 4 hours of sleep a night.

If it became a monthly thing, would that force the anime to have actual seasons? If it had actual seasons would the pacing and animation improve? Someone from the alternate reality where this happens, please let me know!

You will pry that timeslot from Toei's cold, dead hands. One Piece is never going seasonal unless they change the way tv scheduling works in Japan.

I can't really recommend One Piece to new anime fans anymore, because it looks so bad. It's actually really depressing to see One Piece as a brand just be completely hollowed out and run into the ground by TOEI to save bucks.

Hopefully it's allowed him to ease up his schedule, I recall him saying in an interview he only got like 4 hours of sleep a night. He should probably go bi-weekly just for the sake of his own health. I do wish he and Shonen Jump would make it official though, and just announce that it'll have 2/3 issues a month with one week off a month for his benefit from now on. I'm not even sure why, I just know I'd prefer it be official. Just to know it'll always happen rather than normally being an announcement a week before I guess.

Cat Machine posted:I'm gonna disagree. There's a ton of evidence to suggest Oda has a vested interest in the anime as a creative work - Franky's design was influenced by Kazuki Yao (Jango's VA), the main VAs feature in SBS all the time, he's given creative direction to multiple films, he helped the composer of Binks Sake and a ton of his author comments in WSJ refer to what's going on with the anime at the moment. Yeah but that was all before it was terrible. The One Piece anime is perfectly good up until Saobondy/Impel Down/Marineford. There were inklings of it's dark and terrible future during Thriller Bark but it wasn't nearly as bad as it is now. e: Wow, the VA for Jango/Bon Clay/Franky looks exactly as you would imagine him.

That's very likely what you'd end up with if you mashed those three characters together.

I really don't think that's how most passionate creators look at their work, and probably not a good way to look at life in general. I mean he's been doing it almost non-stop for 18 years, it's probably safe to say he cares?

Okay, the Dressrosa Arc is officially Really Fuckin' Long. I'm surprised by how happy I am that Baby 5 is apparently getting a good ending, though (also deserving of a good ending: Senor Pink, a true man and friend to all). EDIT: Dammit Oda I said good ending, not depressing backstory. The Lord of Hats fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Jul 8, 2016 |

My One Piece conspiracy theory is that all the women became super busty because Oda needed an outlet for the fact that he never gets to see his wife because he's always working.

RatHat posted:According to the wiki it was made with Deathwing's blood. Then he got the other aspects to put their power into it(which somehow prevented them from destroying it) and then just used it to make himself super strong. The dragon/demon soul was why Deathwing's body started tearing itself apart and he needed the elementium grafts. aaa don't spoil the ponyglyphs

Takahashi Rumiko basically had the same problem, and I'm pretty sure she's officially the most wealthy woman in Japan. His influence ends at the comic, which is why it was such a big deal when he was finally brought on the for the later films like Strong World and FIlm Z.
