Flubby posted:The Okama thing never seemed offensive to me. At least I never felt it was coming from a place of hatred. Especially with Bon Clay and Ivankov being portrayed as awesome people and Luffy's friends. I know dick about Japanese culture though, so I don't know if it's at all comparable to homophobia or transphobia. Maybe being used as comedy is offensive and it's coming from a place of ignorance from Oda? I don't know, but not hateful imo. With the exception of Bon Clay, Ivankov and scissor person i forget the name of, almost every single time an okama is on screen the joke is they're ugly, weird and think they're cute girls!!!!. "Ew gay people" is the constant punchline. it's not great!

tsob posted:Putting aside how they're animated, the extra limbs appearing is probably similar to how Luffy seems to have dozens of limbs at once during his normal Gomu Gomu no Machine Gun or Storm attacks. Or how Zoro has three limbs and heads when doing his Asura stance. It's just dramatic shorthand for lots of simultaneous attacks. Usually luffy's rapid fire attacks look like that while in motion and not shown as having multiple arms spend 10 seconds appearing during the wind up, then firing them off like rocket launchers

socialsecurity posted:It feels like they never spend pagetime on the Sunny much anymore, like islands take way longer now and beyond the art woman fight I can't think of the Sunny really being in involved in much of anything. Yeah it's mostly just minor set dressing between arcs, where as it was a constant buidl up with Merry barely making it anywhere. Any time since they entered the grand line, the Merry was constantly under repairs or had doubts that it could make x trip or needed to get major goofy overhauls. Beyond Jora the only big thing I can think of was getting the bubble coating, but it wasn't on the same level as any of Merry's stuff.

JahRoo posted:Yes i understand thats how kidnapping works, it does not make her a useful person. If she's got a broke rear end power that can be easily abused by the enemy, and can't properly protect herself to avoid that situation, then she's a liability. Every time she's been retrieved she has immediately helped the family again: stopped caesar's escape, attacked the sunny, overheard & relayed the meetup plan hopping over to wherever they stored the anti-germa bullets they were going to use for the wedding then handing them back seems exactly something she could do with ease

EimiYoshikawa posted:If you think about it, that was probably Pudding's first kiss. The Charlottes probably killed every other groom after 'you may kiss the bride' but before it happened, just like was planned for Sanji. Probably Pudding's first kiss but also probably her first wedding in general I'm thinking the Germa assassination plan was a special occasion since they're not really trustworthy and she REALLY wanted their science, considering Praline & Chiffon were happily married to their very alive husbands.

drjuggalo posted:i was re-reading zou and forgot that nekomamushi is off looking for marco, i wonder if that comes up before wano kicks off They usually have some downtime between arcs where we check in with the rest of the world. I'm guessing we'll see parts of the Weevil/Marco/Zou meet up starting up and how that shakes out will be left for after wano. Speaking of Weevil I think the first & last time we saw him was chapter 802. happy 100th chapter anniversary, weevil

Bisse posted:
I think it's been doing that since the end of Enes Lobby. I remember re-reading the series and realizing how few actual fights happened in Thriller Bark, with the big showcase fight being the team up against Oars. Other fights were either brief (chopper & robin vs hogback, sanji vs absalom) or fake out (Nami). Sabondy had no real fights, just general throw downs and big events happening before the disaster hit. And after that it's usually only Luffy who gets fights with a real focus. x vs y "fights" (zoro vs monet or most of the dressrosa confrontations) are typically just brief confrontations presented on about the same level as, say, Brooke zapping Jora, or Carrot trouncing a bunch of ships during their escape. Totland in particular had very few actual fights and more...cool events, i guess? Carrot I mentioned, Brooke's moments had no actual on screen fight, the whole wedding situation wasn't REALLY a fight as it was total chaos, Pedro fought Tamago but that was more brief set up for his bombs, Nami's thunder nuke. That said even with the criteria being "do something super cool" rather than "do a fight" Robin still gets the short end

Ryaomon posted:Man I love Oda but he really does introduce way too many characters because I didn't remember that guy at all. In fairness we'd probably remember them more if they showed up after the wedding. After the cake plateau falls not a single one of them other than Morgans & Stussy are seen again. I don't think they're in a single panel or otherwise mentioned. Honestly for the best. I mean when you have Stussy & Morgans, why even bother with the rest.

I love 4kids theorycrafting because imagine what else they would have cut out entirely? Sure the "bellmare is in a dungeon forever" rewrites are always fun to think about but consider: -human auction house & related slavery angles are either cut entirely with the remainder they cant cut reworked into being a "show" . -the celestial dragon luffy punches is punched because he's just dancing in the aisle being annoying, since his shooting stuff would be removed entirely -skipping Impel Down. like all of it. not even mentioned. -instead of falling from the sky, Luffy is shown just running into marineford off screen from an amazon lily ship -crocodile & iva are just there, dont worry about it -all of whitebeard's battle damage skipped out, causing them to reuse footage of him standing around forever, constantly -ace's death scenes cut, probably require a "oh no he's captured forever!!" rewrite

Minion of Freya posted:Her power not only works in the ocean, it works ON the ocean. You know, I get it they dont want to give up the time slot anime production is garbage industry necessitating quick production cant get all the good animators probably budget stuff going on that result in cutting other corners So when you're adapting the manga you gotta streeeeetch it but the thing that just really kills the anime for me is how painfully slow it stretches everything. This scene feels like it lasts forever, there is barely any movement on anything, the movement that is there is like a slide show and they linger on everything. It takes the bite and awe out of everything it touches. The green room sequence was one of my favorites from the final escape but here its just ... bad. Especially that "green wave" filter as it slowly lingers on everyone's reactions before the pan out.

Like the lion crotch guy was a smile user too, for example. But you also got people with goat legs or horse bodies and so on, that they're always in rather than the true zoan hybrid state

Punk Hazard was great the chimera people were fun i liked the icy hot wasteland aesthetic caesar is a great villain because he is just so unapologetically lovely in every possible way virgo & monet were both great kinnemon is cool and good cool scenes: -when half the crew enters the ice side, freezing, and has the menacing panel of them about to steal clothes off caesar's minions -luffy punching a dragon -zoro scaring monet so bad she can't reform -usopp's speech set to luffy punching the gently caress out of caesar -law cutting the entire mountain in half while fighting virgo -the cool salamander exploding into petrifying gas -i really liked the panel of luffy riding dragon-momo out of the pit -the flashback sequence showing caesar "helping" his minions when he first arrives -when they're riding around on brownbeard and they casually rest their legs and coats on him -the slow dawning realization that teaming up with the strawhats was a huge mistake -chopper hat on law -chopper as a phonestrap on law's sword and he's making this face: > :< -the end sequence with monet speaking to doflamingo as she tries to blow up the island but her heart gets stabbed -the party! -reveal of the giant kids and the scope of caesar's hosed up experiments -one of the giant kids eating all the laced candies so the other kids wouldn't eat them was hardcore PH had some pacing problems like how the yeti cool brothers could be removed entirely or how about 80% of the arc was running around (which I kind of liked tbh but I get it's a sticking point) but it's probably one of my favorite arcs even on a reread. It's just really fun

Like would more animation REALLY be needed for such a small part? No, save an animator where you can. But it looks so cheap, surely there was a better way. There's no weight to anything, like you say, even ignoring other choices. The Wano arc is supposed to have a new art director/lead, right? I hope they can find a way to infuse more life into the anime, it's just such a bummer to look up clips and keep going UGH at every single ugly and blatantly time stretching decision

Demonicpoodle posted:Wano's gonna be really good in the anime yeah. It has the Dragon Ball Broly movie director as the new series director. But there's no way to fix the pacing, so that'll still be like Foxy Noro Noro Beam'd the entire anime. The brilliant thing about Wano is it represents Japan, so Toei HAS to do it well to represent. Also the series director confirmed that Wano is indeed the most important arc of the series so far. That's good but thinking of all the long dreadful just paused on a still shot with no real music to speak of pans on the Yasuie crucifixation , sucks. This but in wano and ideally with better art https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTua_QDQCLU
