@gaari:
Hi^^
My question is, If anybody here likes Ace x Luffy…?
And if it is so.. do you have any pics? i hardly could find two of them...
I think I posted some of these before, ah well.
!

!
I'll post more as I find them. If anyone wants Jango/Kuro, I have a few. Unfortunately no Jango/Fullbody yet.
This anime was beautiful. The art takes some getting used to in the beginning but it's totally worth watching.
Surely not the gold standard of verbal translation… but in its own right I think the atmosphere was captured very well - and that´s what translation is about in a broader understanding, really a fresh wind in the scene
.
I wouldn't call this an "official" translation though. More like a gag translation. Even while you're trying to keep the atmosphere, it's like putting in your own set of dialog that was never said by the characters. Adaptation is a must, but changing the entire line is something you shouldn't do.
Is it just me, or is the translation for this very off?
Edit: It IS a gag tsl (right?), my bad. :D;;;
I'd do it for free.
Would you have sex with Bon Clay if you were paid a million dollars?
Just so everyone knows, my dragon avatar turned out…horrible. It's notihng like it should have been. And Dragon doesn't have a scar(at least from what we've been shown) because that red thing is his tattoo.
It's just been bothering me for a while. Nobody has EVER said "scar"… they're pointing out the scarf, scarFFFF. You colored it as if it was a part of his flesh.
Ah, see, that's the thing with sea creatures. You'd have to get an aquarium and clean it every once in a while, which is such a hassle. Stick with the puppy?
The two kitties my roommate and I got are darlings, not too much upkeep and you can cuddle with them :D.
Is there anyone on the forums living in Japan? If we send it to him/her, maybe we can actually get it to Oda… or at least closer to, haha.
I know people who've sent things to Japanese celebs. They actually make it to them, some anyway. This one pop star has a blog and mentioned getting the package from American fans and was really happy.
The best thing possible would be to send it to Oda. Letters may not reach him, but a book full of art from fans all over might be more noticable.
I sent a PM to taboo about wanting in on drawing in the book, but no reply 
Who should I contact about it?
o.o What if BB swallows seastone/ocean water? Was this discussed?
Haha, yeah, complaints get pretty annoying. I translate for another group and when people get impatient, expecting us to translate an episode of something within minutes of the RAW coming out, we just go "HA, BECAUSE OF THAT YOU WAIT ANOTHER WEEK".
I've tasted wet cat food. It actually wasn't all that bad; a bit like tuna, actually. =q
Ooh, good to know. I've always wondered, since I think cat food smells yummy XD.
I was watching one of the openings for Queer As Folk, "
"… There's this one guy I automatically connected to Ace. Gay cowboys ftw? XDDDD Does anyone see what I mean? Don't watch if you don't like gay people :x...Hmm… it's hard to decide.
At the moment Zoro is the smex. I swear, after reading all that yaoi with pretty boys, I need something with a MAN. XDDD
Humans arn't vegetarians, althoguh capable of eating vegetables, plus Chopper is half human. THe way I look at it, we all(or at least should) eat meat, and we're made of meet. So why can't chopper?
Yeah, you're right, he's part human. I just somehow assumed b/c since he could speak to the animals, he wouldn't have the heart to eat them. I guess I was wrong.
I'm a vegetarian, btw. 
@setodragon:
Hey guys, this traveling sketchbook is an awesome idea. I PMed Taboo but then I read that she isn't gonna be around for awhile? Anyway I was wondering if I could join in on the fun, I live in Southern California (about 1 1/2 hours from San Diego)… I know it is already past California already but maybe I could get it at the end before it's sent back to E1n? Just wanted to ask here and make sure it's cool with everyone!
AHH! I want to do it too! I'm in socal at the moment, Riverside for school to be exact. If it DOES come around back to CA, I'd like a chance at drawing something in it too. 
Good job!! Like a couple of the others said, the shading lines should be kept. There'll be an empty feeling if they're not there.
I've been a fan of manga/anime for about 10 years. Not in the slightest has my interest ever waned. It's a part of my life as much as anything else so I don't really see myself pushing it away, ever.
30 isn't old. Geebus, when I'm 30, I hope I'll be enjoying life and travelling the world. And reading One Piece.
I fangasmed. I love Ogiue so much, I'm just really happy she's finally animated.
It'd be pretty funny if the next nakama is a tone-deaf mermaid. Poor Luffy.
I sort of find irony in statements like that. I mean, it seems like it would be rather difficult to truly 'enjoy' life if you forever have that feeling of "there's nothing else" (perhaps not everyone feels that way, though).
That's precisely why one should enjoy what they have rather than lament what they can't get.
People should live for the sake of living, not for the sake of what might happen or not after death. I don't see the logic in this. But then I AM an atheist, not believing in any god, heaven, or hell.
Though, I AM interested in ghosts and the paranormal. THAT may be a kind of afterlife. But I'm perfectly fine with the idea of death being the end, also.
People live, then they die. I don't want to truly die, is what the sentiment seems to be.
More yaoi less angry people.
SanZo, no likely, no looky.

You know… actually writing the words out would take less time than to think up each individual first letter of your words.
If someone used a bunch of those in a conversation with me, I'd ask what's wrong with them XD.
Wow, very interesting beliefs people have here^^ decent thread so far.
i'm jewish, though i have to mention..i met someone about 2 months ago. an atheist. we talked about 2-3 hours in a bar, it was really interesting conversation, and now i have lots of doubts:S i'm searching myself. i can say that after that conversation i was really another person..i even cried|: we were talking about the possibility that after the death there's just nothing..just saying that makes me sad. no-existence..it's just something that you can't think of.
Don't be sad… rather than being sad about how there's no afterlife, you should be enjoying life itself.
I'm atheist.
Haha, when I saw this thread, I was like, "ooooh here we go." Seems decent so far. Like some others, I've been in too many religion threads in the past… as long as nobody insults another's, it'll be fine... >.>
Racist jokes are so funny… but that's probably because people are so diverse where I live that nobody cares.
I'm Chinese (I do know some kung fu, XDD)... I would be in a car with some friends and we see someone non-Asian who can't park. "Aahahaha, this Asian driver is better than you!!" All in good fun.
Yaoi fangirls fangirl about yaoi, true. But that's not all they do. Yaoi is just something they really enjoy and like to share.
I'm sure people spot pairings, het, homo, whatever. Yaoi fangirls just tend to vocalize it a bit more, no harm done.
I don't understand what's so "sick" about it.
m(___)m Thankyu Bevin-sama 
This is as good a place as any.
A female friend of mine recently developped the hots for Luffy and is looking for yaoi (preferrably images, I assume) of anyhting involving him. Could someone please PM me a link I could pass along to her.
(I know this sounds like those famous "a friend of mine" stories, so I guess I'll just have to deal with the immature comments I'll receive from this)
No I will not PM you… I will post them~ ^_________^ Also your friend should join the forum
ZoLu - At first I thought it was Sanji, but the hair is dark and the eyebrow is not curly...
!
ZoLu kiss
!
ZoLu cuteness
!
ZoLu more cuteness
!
LuAce~!

I'll link these… just hot Luffy-ness, perhaps a bit too hot, I'll remove them if it's too much >.>

Lots more where that came from, share share~

Aha, but if you pronounced "yaoi" correctly, it would NOT rhyme with "owie"! 
@Mearl:
Eventually we'll reach an equilibrium and everybody will live together peaceably. I hope.
Sounds like world peace. nod
And omg, mystic, I love your sig.
These are all ridiculous ideas for pairings, not that I'm hatin' or anything…
I kid!
Nami x Robin, Nami x Tashigi, Nami x Vivi, Robin x Vivi, Robin x Tashigi, Tashigi x Hina, Nami x Califa, Nami x Nojiko, Nami x Konis, Vivi x Valentine.
These are all plausible and yummy pairings. I would LOVE to see Hina x Tashigi in a dj…
ZoroxChopper… oh, that's funny. Reminds me of a short fan comic/not exactly dj thing I saw. Not actual yaoi, but hilarious!
I'm creating this thread so that people can discuss the yaoi pairings/situations that exist (in our minds, at least) in One Piece. If there IS already a yaoi thread, just delete this… >.> I tried looking for one first, tho.
I know there are a lot of OP yaoi fans out there, not necessarily in this forum, but we'll see. It just feels a bit stifled - like the fangirls are hiding or something. Or maybe I'm just blind @_@.
So, favorite pairings? Reasons? Etc, etc... share pics, too. But keep in mind this is a rather PG forum, so keep them clean.
No more women should join the crew, 2 is enough (not to mention they still need work character development wise…) once he's fleshed them out then I guess one more can join, and even then she needs to be radically different from Nami/Robin.
Yeah, if the next person joining is female, she should be a young girl. One that would be competent in taking care of herself, but still get along with Chopper really well.
A young-teen fishwoman, perhaps?
I think it would be pretty lame if they ALL had famous relatives… what is this? Some second generation party of famousness?? ignore me
Why do you enjoy it?
I find it more erotic than hetero sex. The fact that it's slightly more taboo adds to the flavor. It's the same reason I like yuri.
Has anyone annoyed you due to them liking yaoi a bit too much?
Hm… I don't think so. I'm usually right along with them, but I don't squeal, I swear. How can someone like yaoi a bit too much? Unless they're pushing it in your face, then that's just really annoying. Tell them to stop. Otherwise, it's the same as telling gays not to get married, just because. Them getting married has nothing to do with anybody else but themselves. The way I see it, if someone is actively against something for no reason, they're just insecure about themselves. Not that this is your case, right?
Is there a reason some guys like this stuff as well?
If guys like it, they like it. You might need to ask them individually about that. But who needs a reason, anyway?
haha You lecher freaks!!
That is Robin's elbow.You guys are sick pervs unlike sweet innocent people like me.
I merely exist to spread rainbows and unicorns across the world.
XDDD, well chapter 436, page 14, bottom row, panel 1, doesn't help.
But yes, sick perv de~su. is open pervert
@pirateneko:
….That's because IT IS! XDDD
Come on... Daveyback Fight.... end of Alabasta.... MOVIE 3....yeah, I know most of that is filler, but... damn its too irresistable~
grabs onto you in hopes of not being kicked off
ZOMG, where are the rest of the yaoi fangirls??
Look very closely at the 6th page. Is that Franky's…? :blink:
Oh my… that's the SECOND (?) appearance of this... mysterious thing.
XD; It's horrible to think that Luffy has completely put Ussop out of his mind. I don't think he "forgot"…
lol! My sensei was allergic to alcohol…so...we all pitched in some money and bought her a cake for her birthday. She started crying~ We had the people write 大好き on it. She said "This...this is the nicest thing any class has done for me. No class has bought me anything for my birthday." To this day, she still says that "That class was the best class I've taught." because we respected sensei, and loved sensei, and loved to learn.
We didn't choose Japanese class because "it sounded simple". And we didn't choose Japanese because "It seemed better than French or German". We chose it because "Japan rocks, BIATCHES!....and it's better than French or German." lol. We had so much fun with sensei~ I miss her. I should go and visit. :3
I've heard stories about the other classes she taught.
Some of the students were down-right rude. So, they didn't get the fun stories and funny videos that sensei had.
Damn straight Japan rocks. And speaking of cake… we pushed ours into sensei's face. We tricked her into putting her face close to it... even with all the camera phones and digicams pulled out, she never saw it coming. XD She laughed about it.
I'm surprised about the rude student part... in all the classes I've been in, people actually go into Japanese FOR learning Japanese.
lol, besides the beginning stuff, we had tons of fun. Hell, we enjoyed the beginning and ending stuff. XD My class loved everything about the Japanese class. Everything from the Japanese language, work, culture study, manners, games, martial arts, comics, tv, entertainment, and cuisine (pretty much every one's favorite part)! Sensei was just the most funniest and coolest of people on Earth. She told us the whole story of how she met her husband (ha ha, white people were rare to see in her town, so everyone was like "Uwaa!"). Ha ha. Oh, sensei. On occasion we'd scream out "Sensei! DAISUKI!" and she'd be like "Yes yes, I love you, too!" XD Oh, and when we had Japanese interns visit, we had even MORE fun with them! OH! And when a bunch of Japanese exchange students came and visited our school, and the origami and the…the...hee hee! FASHION! ^^ Oh, man...Japanese was BY FAR the most amazing class in the world.
Teachers don't get any cooler than ones from Japanese class. It was a sensei's birthday and a student brought a beer to share with her. She said she couldn't because she was working, so he chugged it in her honor. She nodded in approval.
Some other friendly corrections:
Though, a more fun way of saying the same thing is くたばれ！(kutabare!), meaning "drop dead!" ^^;
That has a similar conotation to "fuck you!" doesn't it? Not to that extent, but close. XD
Male:
1. Ace - this guy is sex on legs.
2. Luffy - the cuteness factor is too incredible.
3. Zoro - Mm… manly men.
4. Sanji - Mr. Prince was ultimate smex.
5. Shanks - but omg, so many others, too.
Female:
1. Robin - I love her eyes.
2. Hina - Badass women <333.
3. Nami - The way she presents herself is yum.
4. Vivi - She's just so pretty.
5. Califa - I don't mind blatant fanservice.
Other:
Chopper is so very cute...
And so is the duck with the Viking hat. I can't get enough of it.
Oh man, if Chopper would (but he wouldn't) kill would his medicinal skills, that WOULD be cooler. But that's if it was Chopper doing it. Another guy using med skills to kill is just another guy using med skills to kill.
How much "cooler" can a doctor get??
This doctor's a deer that can transform, zomg.
How would you define "better doctor" anyway?

Bottom row, first panel. You be the judge. XD
And holy damn.
Everyday, my Japanese class would start like this:
Teacher: Hai, hajimemashou! person-san.
Person (person in charge of duties that day): Kiritsu! Rei!
Class: bow Konnichi ha
Person: Chaku seki!
Teacher: roll call
End of class:
Teacher: Hai, person-san.
Person: Kiritsu. Rei.
Class: bow Sayounara.
We did that in my high school Japanese class.
Person: Kiritsu, kiotsuke, rei. bow
Teacher: Mina-san, Kon'nichiha! bow
Class: name-sensei, kon'nichiha! bow
Person: Chakuseki.
At the end of class:
Person: Kiritsu, kiotsuke, rei. bow
Class: Jaa mata ashita. bow… or scramble to get things and leave XD
In college... it's like nobody says hi. A few random "kon'nichiha" scattered around. Sometimes I feel like being late to class just to bust in and declare "osokunatte sumimasen!" to get that Japanese class feel XD.
It doesn't have to follow the family name. A lot of the Japanese people I've talked to have said "firstname-san". Ok….name name name....Sanabe Yoriko. You can call her "Sanabe san" or "Yoriko san". Just go with what other people call her. If you are her class mate, you will probably call her "Sanabe san" (her last name). If you are her friend, you might call her "Yori chan", or even "Yoriko". If you are her mother/father, you might call her "Yocchan!". There are other ways too. To be super cute (cho kawaii) you could say "Yori tan~!" or something. There are so many different ways to address people, but "san" is the safest. If you aren't sure, just use "lastname san".
Oh, right right. I forgot about it used with first names…
Eee... I'm such a nerd. I find these conversations fun.
Just to make sure it's right, does "jana" really mean see you later. I've wanted to know for a while, another way of saying good bye, than syanara(sp) It's way too cliche.
Also, someone said the suffex "san" is for boys or girls. I thought "son" was male and "san" was female.?
also, I learned about "kun" from EVA. "shinji-kun" ^^
ah thanks cos, I always wondered that too
"Jaa na" is a shortened form of "jaa mata" じゃあまた。 It's just a casual way of saying "see you later".
Sayonara isn't "cliche", it's actually a pretty normal way of saying goodbye. You wouldn't use it to say it to your teacher, since you'll be seeing the person again the next day. One of my teachers said, "don't use sayonara to me unless you plan on going off and dying". She has funny humor. But conversely, you see it everywhere as friends using it casually. It pays to know when to use the right word.
"-san" As many, many of us has mentioned is just a proper suffix following someone's family name. It's proper for either sex.
”-son" is not a suffix.
