We're all pimps and perverts on this board, so it seemed silly to award something that was already everyone's second nature. :ninja:

and Local and Gecko would win every year

Most skillful purveyor of loose women never knew what hit it. Suddenly it was gone

It's perverse, really.

@Light:
No but unless someone has (and this was pg-13 forum right), I pretty much would've pocketed it. You can't get much more perverted than having a fetish for tickling. (Expect by having a weirder one. :ninja:)
Oh, you better believe someone's drawn that! Enter here, if you dare!! I (unfortunately) already did a long time ago…
-
I want to be fair… I have been nominated for best sig... But Marcelle is the original creator of that gif
-
Oh btw, my avatar was made by Nobodyman.
-
It's has been two days since the last category. I suppose we are done with anime nominations and can go and nominate Worst Moments for both Naruto and Bleach.
Thanks (also thanks to No Maam for the avatar nomination).
Is it eligable through ? I assume you're reffering to my current Ginguiser one and not the old one with Tommyrod (done by Skadi). I was under the impression that it had to be a signature from 2013.
Despite feeling as if it always was there, your new signature is indeed too new to be nominated.
Oh well, it's not like 2014 will last that much longer. Next Awards are coming soon enough.
-
It wasn't a good year for the One Piece anime anyway.
-
It has been almost three years since I have dropped the One Piece anime, so I already don't remember when was the last time it was a good year for the show.
-
It wasn't a good year for the One Piece anime anyway.
It was better than 2012 at least, but yeah, still pretty bad.
-
This is pretty much my One Piece experience in a nutshell: Anime (end of Sabaody) -> Manga/Anime (Amazon Lily-Marineford) -> Manga (Marineford-onwards). So yeah, I'm not really in any place to nominate episodes. It is kinda sad, though, that the anime is still about 10 chapters ahead of where I am in the manga.
-
Has the one piece anime ever been at a stage that could charitably be called good?
At it's best i'd call it acceptable
-
Looking through these bad moments nominated for bleach and naruto makes me wonder what manner of druggery the writers and hardcore fans are on…
-

Well there was the Drum Arc.
Everything else is probably kinda mediocre tbh
Oh except using Dvorak's New World Symphony during Croc's defeat. That's my jam
-
which naruto/bleach chapters are eligible?

which naruto/bleach chapters are eligible?
Looking through Naruto/Bleach Part III
Bleach: Chapter 523 (where the Asauchi appear and Kenpachi and Unohana duke it out) - Chapter 563
Naruto: Chapter 616 (where, shortly after Neji dies and Hinata gets to hold Naruto's hand, Naruto starts high-fiving his chakra to everyone) - Chapter 660 -

So many bleach ones to nominate.

Thanks.

Just uhhh FYI, the Bach reveal that Ichigo's a quincy happened in 2012.
-
Oh never mind. 16chars
-
I still think it's a shame we can't just nominate both of the whole series' as a whole minus the first arc.

Up through about Crocodile it was pretty decent and largely filler-free. The battle against Arlong was especially really well done.
Once it hit Skpiea though, it got heavy with the padding, then moreso at water 7, and its apparently even worse now.
I haven't watched it since Bink's Sake, so I dunno.
-
Some of the best manga moments are still okay to watch in the anime. Just because it's hard for their quality to diminish. Like the scene where Kizaru single-handedly crushes four Supernovae is still pretty much flawless. The following scene where the Straw Hats get wiped is pretty good, too. Of course that was years and years ago. I haven't really taken the time to watch the Marineford arc, which has a lot of good moments that could very well have been ruined and I'm just not aware.
-
I watched the whole of the Marineford arc in one go as a kind-of-film in summer 2012, and it worked kind of well that way because the padding didn't matter as much. Other than that, I mostly pick-and-choose which episodes have my favourite scenes from the manga…
FWIW I actually really enjoyed the anime's treatment of Water 7.

Don't forget to nominate Magi once the best series category is open, you guys. 'cause knowing myself I'll forget to do so in time. '-'
-
Magi? No.
Souma. -

Sorry this year I'll be nominating Kingdom.:ninja:

Souma.You. Go away.
@Smiley:Sorry this year I'll be nominating Kingdom.:ninja:
Well, okay, I can live with that. I won't come to your birthday party though.
-
Magi is too all straightforward action no elaborate build-up to break out of the good manga category, honestly. It lacks depth and the feel of realism that comes with that. It's not bad by a long shot, but because it's so simplistic and kind of naivistic as a result it's never going to compare to higher tier stuff like OP or FMA.
Although, obviously, neither can Soma as it is right now. It's way too short. But it might get up there some day if they keep developing things instead of just sticking to the relatively cheap foodgasm shots.
-
One Punch Man, to be sure.
-
@RobbyBevard:
One Punch Man, to be sure.
Oh yeah, darn. Sorry Soma, better luck next time.
-
Edited my nomination to specify which Bleach chapter I meant (523).
-
@No:
Sorry about that, this arc is stretching so long I've lost all sense of time and progression.
In that case I'd like to nominate the chapter where they have Kenpachi kill Unohana, cause they've already suffered causalties, so why not kill off some more ?
http://www.mangapanda.com/bleach/523/20
Which is made ever worse by the fact that Name Guy just revealed there seem to be no down-sides to just telling you the sword's name, even if it doesn't want it's wielder to know.
JarmenKell has already nominated the exact moment. Please try again.
-

The description of that nomination reffers to four chapters later and only brings up Unohana dying and having a bankai that did fuck all.
I was more pointing out Shunsui's incredibly smart decision of going along with the "one has to die for the other to get a powerup" plan at a crucial moment where they're facing another invasion.
Which is even worse since Unohana had nothing to gain from Kenpachi dying and Shunsui could literally just ring up Beard Guy (cause they have cellphones in the after life) and have him tell him the name of Kenpachi's sword even when it wouldn't want Kenpachi to know.
-
I wish I could have nominated this.
But I just couldn't resist the Hollow Pills Deus Ex Machina.
-
Dunno about ongoing manga, but I sure as hell know what I'll be nominating when Animated Show category opens.
Can you guess it from my post history ? No, you can't.
!
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I haven't read Bleargh in ages so I wouldn't know about the more recent chapters, so I will refrain
However, if I had to choose one from the chapters I have read, it would be the part where Kubo tries to present "ME LIKE FIGHTING" in a poetic way, but I don't feel like sifting through that borefest to find it, there are probably wothir candidates to be nominated and the chapter itself has probably been nominated anyway, even if not that particular bit.
-
Heh, looks like all the possible bad moments from Naruto and Bleach have been nominated already.
-

Not all the possible ones, but most probably the best ones.

@Purple:

Right. I mean….I can think of a minor one or two, but the list pretty much outlines the worst of the worst. (or the best of the worst?)
-
Naruto's worst of the worst are very singular moments. While the entire year has been very shoddy, it's just been a very stagnant year where every chapter Kishi either does something to try to hype up some hope only to negate it next chapter with something to try to bring everyone into despair, and the cycle just continues so that no one gives a damn.
Kubo on the other hand… wait... I forgot, there's still some other moments. I feel like we just wrote them out of our memory. Like that time it turned out that the Vandenreich was actually hidden underneath Soul Society all along.

You nomination is about the reason, while JarmenKell's is about the consequence, but both of those are related to a single scene. Honestly, I wouldn't differentiate between those, but if you are willing to make a stand here let it be so.

Ha! I know your antropomorhic turkey ways all too well not to guess this one.
-
To be fair to No Maam, I wouldn't reference the entirety of the fight as a single moment when it spans a few chapters, especially when Jarmen was emphasizing the bankai while No Maam was emphasizing Shunsui's explanation, so two different moments in the fight.

Pretty much what Hermit said.
Plus again, that moment is made worse by subsequent events and revelations so even if the immediate implications seem bad, as of right now this whole tngs seems incredibly ridiculous.
Granted I do think the Tickets moment wins on sheer tonnage of the ball that was dropped there, whereby the whole concept and stucture of Kubo's thinly defined, vague-as-crap afterlife come crumbling down as death now has absolutely no meaning whatsoever, but this moment is a shining example of grade A backwards logic, made a helluva lot worse by what we've found out like two chapters back. And is like the second thing Shunsui does as the new commander-in-chief, after creating a previously-unneeded position just so he can promote his favourite subordinate.

Not sure we're talking about the same manga. It's Magi. MAGI. Not FT.
-

We are. Magi suffers very badly from the Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer syndrome whereby there's a lot of action and some backstory and explanation for things, but where everything is very one-dimensional and honestly not very deep or complicated at all. It needs a lot more to be considered a masterpiece manga. It's way too straightforward.
The main characters overcome all obstacles with relative ease without really growing that much as people, only gaining more knowledge and an access to further story developments; the entire world is centered around few people who all have enormously strong but simple powers that they've just somehow gotten; the main evil is just some evil religious organization who wants to do evil because they're evil and the force that created the world was good and thus detestable… It's a very simple story, all in all.
An enjoyable one, yeah, but it's not anywhere near One Piece levels of depth. And I'm kind of sick of people touting it as one of the best manga ever when it's in reality very modest.
-
Looking back, I think it would be better if I nominated the Ninja Bird. Well if anyone wanna nominate something here's a idea.

I currently mostly watch Magi (I don't read it, yes… tell me I'm a horrible person and make fun of me) but... I honestly don't see a big gap in the depth/complexity of Magi and One Piece. One Piece just has a REALLY imaginative world and a lot of great whimsy.
