@BatDan:
We're not having any of that.
I don't see why people are worried about catching up.
The anime just ended on Chapter 532 (with 533 airing tonight) and the manga is currently at Chapter 570.
We still have Volume 55, 56, and countless non-collected chapters.
I say we're pretty well off compared to other series out there.
here is for comparisons.
One Piece Manga 570
One Piece Anime 533
Bleach Manga 388
Bleach Anime 340
Naruto Manga 475
Naruto Anime 414 + a couple (they don't follow manga's order perfectly, so a couple naruto toad things not animated yet)
so to sum up total chapters not animated it goes like this
One Piece 37
Bleach 48
Naruto 61
Or total manga pages, not counting covers, and also counting spreads/double pages as one. Since I'm just selecting all the pages i have and letting computer tell me number, and it will count those as one.
Naruto 1092
Bleach 839
One Piece 531
Now I dont' know how many real pages there are, since i ain't going to count each double page there is. But just looking at chapter total shoudl tell you clearly. One Piece is closest to the anime by far.
But One Piece has a lot of information in each chapter. Hell lately we have been going one chapter one episode and it seems like we are moving faster than naruto and that has like 2-3 right now. plus we have potentially the anime only cover stories being fleshed out completely. also in the coming war it perfect time to flesh out fights, like they did with kidd/law against teh pacifista. and what i hope they do during the luxas fairy guild fight in fairy tail.
