lol no One Piece is not episodic at all. It's broken down into arcs that go from 20-80 episodes which each tell a story, but they directly continue from the previous one and lead into the next one. And they're all in service of the overarching plot.

you're way behind the times old man, OP arcs drag on for fuckin years and years, for hundreds of eps. 20-80 episodes was early days only lol

that said i do recommend watching OP episodes 1-150 or so. poo poo starts to get real dire after that, but thankfully one pace exists :v:

yeah one piece has 1000 episodes because at a certain point they decided each episode needed to adapt between 1/2 a chapter and 1 chapter it’s awful

thats why i pretty much only read manga nowadays, just bash out a bunch before bed

the quality of animation generally sucks compared to older stuff so you're not really missing out.
the sense of motion is often better, baki has better "animation" as a series of 2d still images than the grody looking anime, same with one punch man and whichever season it was they gave up. 2?

Or in the case of the Dragon Ball Super movies, they're one long episode which is later stepped on to make twelve normal episodes.

it absolutely rules. people were mad about it?! it was introduced so perfectly, with the foundations being laid hundreds of chapters ago! to say nothing of how perfectly it fits the literal original concept of one piece: "what if there was a fighting manga guy who kept getting stronger but never became scary to kids"

If they were mad about that just imagine how mad they will be when the one piece turns out to be the friends we made along the way

Definitely. It was a weird stopping point and made it feel like they’d have a season 3 just around the corner but that never happened. Though, apparently a third season was announced last year? Dunno which studio is doing it though

the op anime has to keep going continuously or else they'll lose the time slot, presumably forever. this is the dumb reason for most of the pacing problems the show has.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



FujiTV is never going to let them because it gets them gangbuster ratings. Toei once had to drag both Fuji and Shueisha kicking and screaming to agree to three whole episodes of filler.

Been watching Magical Destroyers from last season. It’s…uh, it’s absolutely loving deranged. The plot is that Japan passed a law making being an otaku illegal, bombed Akihabara flat, confiscated all merch, and put otaku into detention camps. The remaining otaku have rallied together to form a revolutionary army led by a figure known only as Otaku Hero, who is assisted by three no-poo poo genuine magical girls one of whom is literally named Anarchy-chan. The show that it most reminds me of is FLCL, strangely enough. Magical Destroyers isn’t ever going to be as iconic or top tier as FLCL, but they both have the same kind of manic, batshit energy along with dozens of references the average viewer probably won’t get but it doesn’t really matter if you do anyway

It’s also probably for the best that the show isn’t trying to champion otaku culture itself, but is more using it as a metaphor for the idea that people should be allowed to like what they like. Kinda helps that the protagonist is a complete loving nerd who is still strangely charismatic and heroic nonetheless

Also the OP is good as hell

I can accept this being canon to Symphogear. But if the Attack on Titan guys had met Hibiki Symphogear, I think they would've made better decisions afterwards.
