Sounds promising, but I hate hate hate the generic hardcore badass marketing that DBZ receives time after time.
Could someone tell me what happens in this trailer? It seems all not-Americans get linked to that stupid ass Navarre website.

may be he was not youkoun back then? and weaker?
:getlost:
Of course he wasn't a Yonkou back then.
What does a Yonkou have to do in East Blue? -

RE: Chapter 580: "End of War" Discussion
It's going to be interesting to see where Oda goes next. He's did a cover with Coby, Helmpeppo and Tashigi. Which is weird since the non SH animal cover before was just Vivi and Karue. Does that mean those 3 are now honorable SH or does that mean he's going to randomly show more different group pairing with animals until the Where are they now? covers start or the actual cover story starts.
I think he just wanted to do a different cover than always those Strawhat w/ animals motive. I mean he drew hundreds of those things, I bet he's kinda sick of them, so he just used Tashigi, Coby and Helmeppo. That has nothing to do with them being "honorable Strawhats"
the Marineford Arc was a nice experience for me. The Marineford was the very first arc where I really began following the spoilers and being excited every week what will happen next. It was the first time where I actually waited every week so a chapter comes out. The downside is that the chapters were usually really short, but therefore there was always something awesome going on in a chapter.
Speaking of short chapters, I wonder if Oda will continue the 16-17 pages per chapter pattern? Will this be till the end of One Piece? Or was this just for the Marineford Arc?

RE: Chapter 580: "End of War" Discussion
In the flashback to chapter 1 where Shanks gives Luffy his straw hat, the hat is MUCH bigger than it was back then in chapter 1.
Anyway, good chapter. The war finally ends. Which makes me even more curious for the next chapter because we all have no idea what will come next. Sabaody?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand no chapter next week. Damn Oda, you really know how to make us excited. (plz don't take this sentence out of context)

RE: Dragonball Discussion
You really think that the black guy is called General Black is just a coincidence? :wassat:
Not that I think Toriyama is a racist, just curious.

RE: Character Nominations Thread
Since when do we have a Naruto thread? :ninja:
-
RE: Dragonball Discussion
Didn't any of you think it was kinda racist that the black guy was General Black? Considering that every general was named after a color… it's like in the first Power Ranger tv series where the black kid was the black Power Ranger.

RE: Dragonball Discussion
Read some old Dragon Ball volumes yesterday. I just remembered how awesome Tao Bai Bai was. Here some manly things he did:
1. He killed General Blue by making a hole in his head… WITH HIS TONGUE.
2. He threw a pillar and rode on it... FOR 3200 KILOMETERS.
3. He reflected a stone... WITH HIS BREATH.Daaaaaamn, he's like the Chuck Norris of the Dragon Ball world. I can't believe that Toriyama didn't remember him when he made that interview with Oda.

RE: FUNimation Simulcast Discussion
It'd be funny if Oda reveals Blackbeards Wanted poster and it says "Tiichi".
Well, everyone thought that it's supposed to be Oz or Odz but no one expected "Oars". Now everyone uses Oars. I think Oz would have sounded better.^^

RE: Which Is Better: One Piece Anime Or Manga?
sorry for overreacting… sometime i forget this is a forum and people are entitled to their own opinions... lol

RE: Which Is Better: One Piece Anime Or Manga?
I just wanted to say that the English translation of the manga isn't that bad as many people here say it is. You don't have to overreact like that o_O
-
RE: Which Is Better: One Piece Anime Or Manga?
LOL… when refering to the manga do you guys mean the ones we read on the web... or actual volumes we buy
cos viz media translations is shite.... i can't believe they are still calling zoro, zolo... it really annoys me... theres no consistancy when romanizing r to l... they might aswell have named him lolonoa zolo (actually that would have annoyed me further).. piss heads.... also there isnt the intesity you would feel from scans because there isn't any swearing... lol
God it really annoys me that people are complaining over the Viz Manga. They always say the "TRANSLATION IS SHITE" and can only say one argument, the whole "Zolo"-thing. I agree that Zoro sounds much better than Zolo, but that doesn't make "TRANSLATION SHITE". I read many volumes and compared them with Stephen's Script, and often the actual translation is perfect. For example the translation of the Zoro vs Mr 1 fight… everything was just like in the original manga.
however mangas scan on the web are kool
Kool? The translations for the chapters 20-170 on Onemanga are HORRIBLE. So you can't live with Zolo, but you can live with Luefy, Usop, Broky, Belmeil, Galu, BB, Creek and Elubabu? Plus attack name changes like Oni Giri to Killing Swords… and when you buy the actual volumes, you support One Piece.

RE: Fairy Tail
Could someone tell me if this manga is any good? I saw one volume in my book store and it looked interesting (because it kinda looks like One Piece I guess ) but I didn't pick it up because I didn't know if it's any good, and it was a little expensive for a "nah I'll just buy it"-purchase.^^
Oh and please no "OMG THIZ IZ AWZUM"-fanboy-reviews, just tell me if it's like One Piece. :)

RE: Possible meanings of "awakened"
All "awakened Zoan" users we've seen have running noses… I hope this is just because they're Mino[insert animal here]. If Chopper ever "awakens" I don't want him to have a running nose while looking badass.

@People:
Btw, i just watched the new naruto episodes. Damn, it's pretty good.

RE: FUNimation Simulcast Discussion
Teach, Teech, Tīchi, it's all wrong.
His real name is ティーチ. That's Blackbeard's OFFICIAL name because it's in the original Japanese manga, so it was Oda's INTENTION that the name is ティーチ.
So forget all the romanization bullshit because that's not canon.
ティーチ - that's how it's supposed to be.

RE: Which Is Better: One Piece Anime Or Manga?
I like how the manga plot doesn't have nearly as many unnecessary side stories and annoyances, and I really like the opening title pages/color spreads. On a whole, it's more fun to watch certain fights in the anime, but I like the manga better. Especially recently, the anime has gotten really annoying. It's made 40 epps of something that could have been completed in 20. The needless flashbacks and awkward "quality" art has begun to get on my nerves.
So, I like both but I prefer the manga.
I agree with you that the manga is better than the anime, but I think it's understandable that the anime is dragged out since Enies Lobby. We all know that the anime needs 40 episodes for something that could be completed in 20 episodes, but they have to do that because if they used many chapters for one episode, the anime would catch up to the manga. So they use 1 chapter for 1 episode since Enies Lobby (with some rare exceptions). And 1 chapter doesn't even last for one episode, so they have to do some annoying filler for every episode (recent example: Buggy and Mr 3-filler in Impel Down).
-
RE: 444: ''Even More Chaos! 'Blackbeard' Teach Arrives''
Buggy and Galdino are cool. They can talk from their hearts and all they need to do is to open their mouth. They don't even move lips, not talking about tongue.
Yeah, they don't need tongues. Galdino just didn't bite his tongue off because he wouldn't look so damn sexy without it.
-
RE: 444: ''Even More Chaos! 'Blackbeard' Teach Arrives''
@Thousand:
Eh, actually that part was them thinking. Weird, I know but it was exactly like that in the manga so…
In the Funi subtitles Mr 3 begun his thought with "Yeah", so it felt like he responded to Buggy's thought which doesn't make any sense at all…
Or it was just in the Funi subs and he didn't say "Yeah" in the original version.
-
RE: 444: ''Even More Chaos! 'Blackbeard' Teach Arrives''
I like how Buggy said that up until now they were only a comedy relief but their adventures were so hard for them.
And I do not like the size of Teach and his band. They were over the top big in manga for me-I can get over the size ofTeach or Burgess, But even Auger and Lafitte? Somehow via the views and angles Oda smoothes this but in that episode crew is Moria-size. And that is awful. I recall Teach being one-and-half height of muscular men, like Franky but not as big that jailers' heads were near his prostate. There are so many ogres coming up(all admirals are doubleheight, and other guys we'll see) so those mistakes really anger me.I know what scene you mean and I also tought that the Blackbeard Pirates were huge first, but then I realized that it was just the angle. You saw the shadows of the Blackbeard Pirates in front of you and you could see the fodder in the background, so it looked like the Blackbeard Pirates were huge.
-
RE: 444: ''Even More Chaos! 'Blackbeard' Teach Arrives''
Great episode. I really liked the part were everyone goes crazy (Mr 2, Ivankov, other Okama) and is going on a rampage. xD
Giant Ivankov head was even creepier than in the manga. HELL WINK!
I liked that shot where you can see Mr 1 and Inazuma, side to side, that was great because they have similar abilites xD (but Inazuma is cooler. VOTE FOR INAZUMA! (<– shameless plug 4 tournament))
The part were Ace stares at the sky was kind of dragged out. And the part were the Blackbeard Pirates enter Impel Down wasn't a big HOLY SHITZ-moment like in the manga. Could have been handled better.
I thought the flasback were you could see the misadventures of Buggy and Mr 3 was totally weird because the music was so unfitting. It was so sad music altough the Buggy/Mr 3-adventures were nothing but comic relief.
Reminded me of the scene in Thriller Bark where Perona does her Enel-face and that sad music plays. WTFoverall great episode.

RE: Bakuman
What do you expect? He's a writer, not an artist.
I didn't expect anything. :wassat: I just thought it was funny how rather serious manga like Bakuman and Death Note looked so "cartoonish" in Ohba's names.

RE: Character Nominations Thread
Whitebeard was banned from the tournament because his mustache is to wide.
Sanji was banned because his eyebrow is too swirly.
That is all.

RE: Character Nominations Thread
@Essam:
my friend u don't have the rite to exclude such a character like WB , he had a lot of fans around the world and i just access this thread and i was shock like what the WB doesn't have a room to join anyway, i will msg Battle Franky about this
thank you
Nothing will change when Whitebeard would be in the tournament because he doesn't have a chance to win anyway. Now Gaimon, he REALLY MEANS IT.
-
RE: Character Nominations Thread
@Essam:
are u kidding me !!!!
why the fuck WB doesn't participate in this tournament !!!!
Unfortunately there wasn't enough space for Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Zoro, Ace, Kuma and Sanji. But there are other great characters to vote for, like Gaimon, Yosaku and Johnny, Rabbit Okama, Pwngoat and Higuma.

RE: Character Nominations Thread
WHAT?! You seriously don't know one of the most important characters in the History of One Piece, Sam?!
Appeared in the end of the Alabasta Arc and in the Loguetown Sanji-filler.
-
RE: Character Nominations Thread
Yeah, I remember seeing the Rabbit Okama throughout the Marineford arc. I remember seeing him when they first arrived on the Island and some parts when they are charging into the Plaza.
Next to Crocodile:

F*CK YEAH

RE: Oda's INSPIRATION for One Piece
@Al!naJames:
Bick (Wickle/Wickie/Vick/Vicky) the Viking, german-japanese cartoon from 70s.
Damn, I remember watching "Wickie und die starken Männer" (that's how it was called in Germany) back when I was younger… man I thought it was totally awesome. And when I bought the first One Piece volume in which Oda said that he wanted to tell a pirate story when he saw the same show I saw, I decided I had to love One Piece.
I lol'd when I saw the doodles Oda improvised.
That guy always went batshit.

RE: NEW ONE PIECE FAN: The GREAT ADVENTURE BEGINS
@Badass:
:getlost:
He's not necessarily a troll, InvaderP.
He made this thread 21 days ago. He could've read the entire scanlated series in about 10 days. Seriously, it doesn't take long to read on chapter. I've finished entire volumes in half a day before.He said he bought the first 3 volumes on March 22nd and he said he caught up on March 26th. That's 5 days. And sorry, but I can't believe that someone can read over 550 chapters - that's about 10.450 pages - in 5 days.

RE: How do you divide/categorize the One Piece storyline?
@Don:
most of you have a duval\flying fish rider-arc…
what the fuck?
i mean that are just 2-3 chapters ...you also didn`t say that a gaimon-arc would be necessary or?Well most people also have a Laboon Arc, and that is also like 2 chapters. The Flying Fish Riders story doesn't happen in the Sabaody Archipelago, so why counting it as a part from it?
Man, if Oda ever gives an official storyline categorization (in a SBS or something), it will probably completely blow our minds and will look nothing like anything a fan expected.
Like this:1. ROMANCE DAWN SAGA
1.1. Luffy meets Coby Arc
1.2. Luffy punches Alvida in the face Arc
1.3. Nami Arc lalalala2. GAIMON SAGA
2.1. Gaimon is awesome Arc3. PANDAMAN SAGA (goes from Chapter 44 till the end)
3.1. Enter Pandaman Arc (known as Baratie Arc by fans)
3.2. Pandaman vs Smoker Arc
3.3. Apis Arc (Oda states this is CANON!) (goes till Impel Down)
3.4. Whitebeard is manly Arc
3.5. Pandaman vs Pwngoat Arc (last arc)Yeaaaah, it'll be like that.

RE: Unofficial Funi DVD discussions
Yeah, they're already dubbing/have already dubbed at least the Water Seven Arc, so I think a little speed-up is a good idea.
Not for everything, but at least a speed-up for the Skypiea Arc. I mean that's already old and the dub will probably have not so good quality like everything before Skypiea.
And GOD I want to hear more Funi Franky.
-
RE: Bakuman
So I bought the first 3 volumes of Bakuman last week or so. (they're already out here in Germany)
and it's really great. it really is something different when you have the art and the text in your hand and don't read everything from a computer screen.
Between every chapter you can see an actuall name from Ohba (the writer) - and they look hilarious xD it's funny how such a great writer can draw so incredibly bad. They're all chibi and look nearly the same. xD
And Name-Hattori looks totally crazy such fat round lips and such big eyes! He looks like freakin' HATCHAN! (no kidding, he even has the same hair style)
I can't believe that freakin DEATH NOTE had a name like that. All chibi and stuff. I'd LOVE to see some scenes in name-form from Ohba.

RE: What I learned from One Piece
I learned that all cool people wear afros.
Brook, Sengoku, Enel, GAIMON… and Luffy for a short period of time. -
RE: Character Nominations Thread
@Super-Franky:
So we can nominate nameless characters this year? Hell yeah! Think I'll go for either Wolverine or Rabbit Okama…
Unfortunately only nameless characters who are in the current arc will be nominated (except Pwngoat). Or could we see Rabbit Okama in the Marineford arc? I would vote for him, even if he's against fuckin YOSAKU AND JOHNNY. Hell yeah.
-
RE: NEW ONE PIECE FAN: The GREAT ADVENTURE BEGINS
I've officially caught up, poor ace! (manga wise).
It's official, he's a troll. No one can read EVERYTHING up till the current arc in like, what, 4 days?

RE: If there was a "GT" of One Piece
@Master:
Was that that guy called "Daddy the Father" in a filler ep way back in Roguetown [spelling] who supposedly was looking for Usopp?
Yep, that's him. Oda originally wanted that "Daddy the Father looks for Usopp"-story to be part of the manga, but he wanted the "GRAND LINE SAGA" to begin with chapter 100, so he left it out. Then Toei took that idea and made it into a "filler" episode.

RE: The Last Airbender movie sucks
Gaaah, I hope this movie doesn't fail that badly like DragonBall Evolution… the effects I saw in the trailers were freakin awesome, but I'm not sure about Noah Ringer as Aang... Why use a no name kid who never acted before in his life as the protagonist?! I think that the show was really really great, so they better don't screw this movie up.
And Aang always smiled in the show and was pretty childish in the first and second season. It's part of his personality. But we never saw Aang smile in the trailers. Why?
Oh I hope this movie won't be a SRS BSNS movie because that wouldn't fit the "childish" feel of the tv show at all...
-
RE: How do you divide/categorize the One Piece storyline?
That's how I usually categorize the story line.
1. East Blue Saga
1.1. Romance Dawn Arc
1.2. Buggy Arc
1.3. Kuro Arc
1.4. Don Krieg Arc
1.5. Arlong Arc
1.6. Loguetown Arc2. Baroque Works Saga 2.1. Laboon Arc
2.2. Whiskey Peak Arc
2.3. Little Garden Arc
2.4. Drum Arc
2.5. Alabasta Arc3. Sky Island Saga 3.1. Jaya Arc
3.2. Skypiea Arc4. Water Seven Saga
4.1. Davy Back Fight Arc
4.2. Water Seven Arc
4.3. Sea Train Arc
4.4. Enies Lobby Arc
4.5. Thousand Sunny Arc5. Thriller Bark Saga 5.1. Thriller Bark Arc
6. Whitebeard Saga 6.1. Flying Fish Riders Arc
6.2. Sabaody Archipelago Arc
6.3. Amazon Lily Arc
6.4. Impel Down Arc
6.5. Marineford ArcI'm one of the few people who think that the story on the Sea Train should be an arc on its own. I mean it has 14 chapters and happens neither in Water Seven nor in Enies Lobby, but most if the people think it belongs to W7 or EL. Whatever.

RE: Which Is Better: One Piece Anime Or Manga?
just think how the war will look in full color and action! i love the manga but love the anime more
Ooooooh I can't wait for the anime version of the Marineford arc. 14-17 pages stretched out so it fills 20 minutes of an episode? I mean that HAS to end well - right?
Seriously, Marineford in the anime is gonna be even more dragged out than Enies Lobby in the anime. 15 minutes of the episodes is gonna be like this:
still shot explosions
nameless pirates fight fodder marines
Doflamingo: This is getting interesting!
nameless pirates fight fodder marines
Luffy is running…
... and running...
... and running
5 minute still shot of Whitebeard
5 minute still shot of Emo Ace
Luffy is runningIt's gonna be great.

RE: Which Is Better: One Piece Anime Or Manga?
This has got me wondering whether or not Ace's death will be one of those moments when the anime is brilliant and the animation is very good.
I really hope so, because that is one of the BIG moments of One Piece (and there's gonna be a million of flashbacks of this scene in the anime) so it has to be brilliant.
But it's probably gonna be REALLY dragged out.
