Great ending. The main cast are always a treat to see. The Garp side-plot wrapped up nicely, pathing the way for Smoker. Koby's wrap up with Luffy was nice. Always great seeing bounty reactions. A big shout out to the talented crew behind the scenes. They elevated this series. It's a visual feast for the eyes. Here's hoping for a Season 2.

RE: Chapter 1074: Mark III
There's just something I find very wholesome about Zoro and Luffy just hanging out on the couch.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
But would it make sense having Eri there? Not sure Aizawa would sign off on that. Anyway, I'm not liking this fight as much as Endeavor VS AFO. AFO is more interesting, but I'll applaud Horikoshi if Bakugo stays dead.

Yeah, the finale happened. It was good but it's a shame Pop and Koichi weren't in the same place. Wouldn't be surprised if we get a bonus chapter or two dedicated to them. And I'm hoping Skycrawler is one of the international heroes who'll come in to help. I just can't see Koichi not coming back to Japan to help in some way. -
RE: 1071: ''Luffy's Peak - Obtained! 'Gear Fifth'''
I really enjoyed it, but I came in with low expectations. One Piece being a year-round anime destroys it's pacing too much for me to watch on a regular basis except through YouTube clips.

RE: Chapter 1057: The End
Unless I missed it, there's no in-universe reason Luffy didn't say goodbye to Momo and Kin. It's just there because Wano needed an emotional ending. And I'm annoyed at Yamato not joining. That's one heck of an 180 after all signs pointed to it happening. Well, at least it's over. Wano's not a bad arc but I think it went on way too long.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
I read this chapter right after reading the latest One Piece chapter. Big mistake. But, I'm gonna try to be positive. I liked… the color spread. And Deku not raging out again. I dare anyone to complain about Crawler VS Number 6 in My Hero Vigilantes after reading the last several chapters.

RE: Chapter 1106: On Your Side
@Deicide said in Chapter 1106: On Your Side:
@Captain-M There's some weird stuff on how this arc was done. It's possible, but so weird, if the heroes just fight their way off and escape.
- The Straw Hats did practically nothing so far
- There's a ton of unresolved stuff (the Iron Giant, Seraphim, Mother Flame, York, the Blackbeard ship, who fed Luffy, Robin's wounds...)
- It feels like the villains have been a pretty big letdown. When we stop to think about it, they arrived in 1089, and we stopped 8 chapters for the flashback, so they'd only been a presence for 9 ou of 47 chapters.
I could see the arc ending with a ton of unresolved stuff that will make sense later in the final saga. But, at the same time, it doesn't feel like that's a great resolution. Will we beat Saturn so Bonney and Kuma get justice, or will we just bail?
I seriously can't tell, and this wouldn't be the first nor second time in this arc shifts in unexpected ways. I'm still pissed off for the Labophase off-screen resolution, and then when we returned a lot of people were certain the arc would soon end with the heroes escaping soon after Ch 1089.
I feel we could still have the villains pulling out some serious guns to turn the tide in their favor again. There's enough threats remaining to provide match-ups for each crewmate and then some (9 vice-admirals, 4 Seraphim, York, Kizaru, Saturn, potentially the Blackbeard ship...). I'm not saying we will get that, thought, I'm just pointing out there are still too many elements in this arc to consider it near its end.
You made me realize that maybe I've been thinking about this arc in the wrong way. Before, I thought that all the cutaways to other places was Oda's way of world building before get back to the typical Straw Hat stuff on a new island. But maybe this entire arc is mainly for world building and setup, Egghead included.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
Didn't Horikoshi go a couple years without taking a single break? If he takes a break it's for a good reason. The sad part is the Oda schedule has been a thing for years and it seems like Jump has no intention of extending it to other mangaka.

RE: Chapter 1106: On Your Side
I think some fans overestimate how much they influence Oda, especially us non-Japanese fans. Oda's smart enough to not let the inmates run the asylum.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
I like the emotional energy in this chapter. There is no easy answer to this dilemma, but Uraraka acknowledges that and still wants to make a connection. Also, Uraraka's quirk awakening was a nice surprise. A big thumbs up to the League of Villains flashback. I can watch them just hanging out all day.

RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
Agreed. A Spider-Man '98 is a no-brainer at this point. I enjoyed the series but the animation and censorship (I don't think Spidey ever threw a punch) limitations kept it from reaching its full potential.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
I'm definitely not as excited about the series as I used to be, but I still love the universe as a concept. A world where the X-men won and the problems that stem from a mutant dominated society is interesting in of itself. That's why I'm hoping we get a My Hero Vigilantes sequel at some point after MHA ends.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
That type of ending would explain why Horikoshi never brought up the concept of a quirkless hero using tech until All Mech. I always found that strange, especially in that hi-tech universe.

RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
I'm all for the New Mutants given they keep talking about the mansion being a school but there's only two students (I think Jubilee and Sunspot are students). And while they're at it, give X-Force some love. I loved that X-Men VS X-Force episode from the original series.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
It makes sense everyone is going Plus Ultra against AFO. I'm a sucker for combo attack so more of that please.
Interesting how OFA may truly be gone. Although, Eri may be able to Rewind Deku again if her horn comes back. Hmm... Is Horikoshi going for the closed ending with little chance of a sequel or is he giving Deku OFA again through Eri?

RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
This show is insane. And I love every minute of it!
The attack on Genosha has given so much weight to everything going forward. -
RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
The Shirakumo/Kurogiri "wrapped" up kinda fast. I don't think we'll see more of that. A shame since I'm invested in it thanks to My Hero Vigilantes. The Gashly fight was pointless but I like the scene between Eri and Aizawa. I wonder if Rewinding Deku a couple minutes is enough to get OFA back? Probably.
Horikoshi gave Astro, from his earlier series Barrage, a cameo. I'm hoping Skycrawler is next.

RE: Go Go Power Rangers… to Krispy Kreme!
Been enjoying Power Rangers: The Return comic. Very character-driven. The continuity doesn't fix the TV universe so I just take it as happening in a parallel universe like the main comics line.

RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
I'm loving it but I do think the pacing is too fast. Maybe they thought it had to be fast to hold the audience attention. Well, now you have it so slow it down a bit next season.
Again good episode but seeing Cable makes me think it'll mostly be undone.

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
At this point, I just wanna enjoy the ride. Besides, who else is there to slow down AFO long enough for Deku to heal? Captain Celebrity and Skycrawler are all we got.
