Those two posts above me read exactly like Luffy and Blackbeard eating cherry pie at the bar in Jaya lmao

I’ll agree to disagree regarding Robin’s past. As opposed to the rest of the crew, she literally had nobody else from her past. She deserves this. And I’m very happy for her

Definitely wasn’t catastrophic . By any stretch of the imagination. It’s ok if it didn’t live up to your expectations but the show has been an unprecedented success . Plenty of non fans got into it, my mom is loving it, she would never watch the anime.

Even if we were to take off our fan glasses and watch it as if it were its own thing and from a more objective standpoint, yes, some flaws stick out, especially with the non Oda parts, but it’s still FUN, and most of Netflix’s target audience isn’t gonna be scrutinizing the writing like we are.

What do you mean by nobody else as opposed to the others in the crew?

Luffy still has Shanks and the rest of his village. Sanji has Zeff and them. Nami has Nojiko and Pinwheel head (forgot his name) as well as her town. Usopp has Kaya, his pirates, and the town, and even Yasopp. Zoro has his village and sensei. Chopper has Kureha and even Dalton. Hell, even Brook still has Laboon. Etc. But Robin had no one in her life aside from the straw hats, they were all gone, every single one.

Speaking of seastone, whatever happened to Wano being super important with respect to seastone? Did Oda forget? Lol

@Deicide looks like it

Absolutely loved Kid baiting Law and Luffy quite successfully. Easily my highlight for this chapter. And Momo my highlight for Wano.

My biggest gripe so far is Garp. Otherwise overall highly enjoyed it

It's honestly odd to me that people are excited about the idea that the cover story and main story are converging. To me it's just another example of Oda's inconsistencies as of late. It feels like he's speeding through the story, but it still incapable of being concise with cover stories. For years they've been so much more drawn out than they've needed to, and it feels like here he realized, "oh fuck, Pudding's supposed to already have been captured, but I spent too many chapters of the cover story showing ambiguous shots and not actually moving that story forward."

Agree to disagree. I understand the overall sentiment with Oda not being as good of a writer as before but honestly you’re the first person I see bringing this up and to me it’s a nonissue. Maybe I’m being generous with Oda but then again maybe you are just finding little things to use as examples of his inconsistencies. To each tbeir own, after all.

@zeltrax225 honestly I understood their points and actually agreed with a few, I just found the 5/10 to be a bit inconsistent with their review, as in, I would expect at least a 6 from reading their review. A 5 is not so much okay and more mediocre, in practically all mediums. Just thought that was odd is all..

Has anyone pointed out how Luffy “passed” on eating the cat? Not very in character for him, right? Am I looking too deep into it? Casual comment, red herring, or a clue that touches on some, if not everything being a hallucination ?

Just caught up. Loved this manga. I heard it’s on a month long hiatus?

Loved it. And yeah he does look like the coach lol

Nintendo absolutely cooked today. Incredible that MS and Ninty cooked the most with their presentations this year.

Frieren. Could not find a thread for it. I somewhat forced myself through the first two episodes, felt like a chore, but by the fifth episode I was hooked. Love the dialogue, the chemistry between the characters, the fluid animation, the setting, the video game / RPG esque elements. On episode 14 right now and loving it more with each new episode.

That was such a great moment. Definitely a contender for top 10 Vinland moments

So this is that new Order member huh? Things are getting more interesting by the minute

So apparently season 2 is already written
