i read a story going around that the director of the live action One Piece met Oda and was like, "One Piece is about how even if bad things have happened to you or if you've done bad things, as long as you find people who believe in you and you believe in them, you'll be able to achieve your dreams" and Oda was like "yes that is correct"

Oda should quiz any director by asking them how they would feel if the One Piece turned out to be friendship and anyone who doesn't threaten him on the spot is immediately fired.

Oda has explicitly said the One Piece isn't some friendship bullshit and I trust him.


It's going to a snowglobe with smaller version of the One Piece world inside of it.

Everybody interprets this as secretly fascist while discounting that the Japanese thought all the antisemitic conspiracy theories made Jews sound cool. Yes, the Eldians are Jews, and they rule. Problem? :smug:

reading rhe manga i totally didnt realise the wounded veteran was erin so when he reveals that then eats the prime minister or whoever i thought that was cool

the art improves massively as it goes on, but whenever you see a whole page of text you know the story is about to get stupider or worse somehow

This is true though. The armored Titan scene was one of the best uses of the medium I can think of and a billion words would have ruined it. Pity he does the squid move of fleeing in a cloud of ink so often.

Yeah it was pretty confused, I think I may have finished reading it before the very last issue so I didn't see them thanking eren for being Hitler. Mikasa cutting his head off then kissing it was an OK ending.
I did like the villains flashback where its shown that instead of being cunning masterminds they basically failed their mission in the first 10 minutes and were flying by the seat of their pants and having a terrible time.
I like that kind of thing.

IIRC the final chapter was also missing several pages when it first leaked so you got the pages where they thank him for being Hitler but miss all the ones where he throws a tantrum about dying a virgin*.

I dunno, I think its pretty common for anime/manga to have a poo poo ending, so as long as the journey was good I don't really begrudge it. It's easy for me to just remember the good parts. this upcoming season will be hilarious, just watching anime onlys watch this poo poo.

as a jew (rofl) I think the whole jewish thing in attack on titan is really cool. I dont think its nazi at all. the good guys are jews, the bad guys are jews. everyones a jew. that's what I like to see. pretty much every non jew is a villain as well (true to life)
