RE: Wasted opportunities of One Piece
People are never done complaining about how Oda is rushing through arcs now, like off screening fights (primarily Usopp Vs. Trebol) and seemingly squishing in plot points for the end of volumes.
These arcs likely would have been longer 5 years ago, not shorter.
While I agree that there are a lot of stuff that could be expanded on, I don't think they should be. I'm not saying that Oda needs to rush through his material, what I am saying is that Oda doesn't need so much going on in each arc. I only care about 40% of what has been going on this arc. And the previous 2 arcs even less than that.

RE: Wasted opportunities of One Piece
I think the last 3 arcs have been the worst in the series. With Punk Hazard taking the gold. One reason I don't like them is if Oda had made these arcs 5 years ago, the. They would be 60% of the length that they currently are. Honestly PH should've only taken 25 chapters. And Dressarosa is taking way too long.

RE: Fairy Tail Discussion III
I dropped this manga a while back for obvious reasons, but I just reread Berserk, and if the Eclipse at the Grand Magic Games was the one like Berserk, I would have cum my pants. It probably would've become my favorite moment in literature history.

RE: Magi
I am starting to dislike Magi, but I'm enjoying Adventures of Sinbad more, so I guess there is that.

RE: Magi
@God:
Anybody else notice that Arba's staff looks like the staff Baba gave to Alladin?
Gyokuen Ren and Sheba have identical staffs. This confuses me to the identity of Aladdins mother, because it seems that Sheba is paired with Solomon, but it makes more sense if Arba is Aladinn's mom, but she isn't interested in sexing Solomon.
Edit: Arba could possibly be Baba too.

RE: Manga you'd like to read but don't have a link!
Regarding Tezuka's Phoenix, you can buy each volume (Kindle Edition) for $8.49 on Amazon. Definitely a good price compared to the $50-$100 dollars you would pay for each of them on paperback.

RE: Manga you'd like to read but don't have a link!
I need an English scanned version of Ginga Sengoku Gun Yuuden Rai and also a fully scanned version of Twin Spica.

RE: Kingdom
Hara handled Seikou's character brilliantly…
cannot agree more. It is extremely rare for any author to be able to successfully turn a mediocre villain into such a great character. I love that Kingdom just keeps getting better and better.

RE: A Fairytale for the Demon Lord
I thought it was just going to end…I'm going to have to read it again to be able to keep up.

RE: Tower of god
^ Wait, were you expecting a Lelouch in ToG? Because I'd be down if that happened. Baam's kinda the standard silent hero, imo. Even if SIU's playing the trope straight, I like him as a soft-spoken, thoughtful MC.
No, he would be Koon if that happened. I just wish the focus was less on him and more on the other main characters (Koon, Rak, Wangnan. & Parakewl). I am just scared that it will turn into a harem crap with the princesses.
-
RE: Tower of god
Androssi has easily become my least favorite character. I wasn't a big fan if her in S1, but she was pretty cool. Now in S2 all she does is talk about going on a date. I also find Baam to be too boring, I just don't like him as much as the supporting characters.

RE: The Gamer
I have this in my Plan to read list, but I have no interest in mmorpg's of any jrpg for that matter. So will I still have a chance of enjoying it? Or is it all fan service for those who enjoy those types of games?

RE: Tower of god
Karaka still has Poken watching over everything too. Who knows how strong he is (I assume he is very strong, considering Karaka trusted him in killing anyone who betrayed). And from what I've seen Poken is acting as Reflejo's shadow http://mngacow.com/tower-of-god/S02-80/27/
Close enough. Though it makes you wonder that if only a fraction of Poken is B-class, how strong Karaka and other Slayers are (rank wise).

RE: Tower of god
How would he have gotten it? Cassano hasn't even met Wangnan yet.
Doesn't mean he wasn't ordered to do it. And the fact that Wagnan had a puddle of blood come out of him from being stabbed in the heart, I don't see it being too unlikely. And it was "hope" not think. I just thought it would be cool development.
-
RE: Tower of god
I hope that what Cassano just gave the workshop guy was Wagnan's (Zahard) blood.

RE: Tower of god
"I'm pretty sure of.." is not evidence for nothing. You should add a reference, so all of us could be sure. JUst saying.
I don't feel like going through the chapters, but Beta said that he got his heart. And I'm not pretty sure, I am sure.
-
RE: Tower of god
We don't know if his heart got stabbed. And everyone seems to have great healing regeneration, etc. from shinsoo.
I'm pretty sure they said that he got stabbed in the heart.
-
RE: Tower of god
So I guess no one really cares that Wangnan care survive a fatal wound to the heart. Looks like that blood of Zahard is useful.

RE: If Mangakas wrote another Mangaka's series
If Togashi wrote Dragon Ball, then we would be wondering if he is going to come back and explain who Raditz is.

RE: Sword Art Online
SAO is like masturbating to a porn featuring a gaudy whore, whereas LH is like fapping to some highclass orgy porn.
Latter is better.
Yeah, but by the end, both leave a bad taste in your mouth.

RE: If Mangakas wrote another Mangaka's series
If Togashi wrote in the Death Note, then no one would die.

Let's hope that Mahou-ka Koukou no Rettousei isn't the next SAO, but instead a great anime.

RE: If Mangakas wrote another Mangaka's series
If Sorachi wrote Berserk, then it would be the same, because Sorachi is Miura

RE: Two And A Half Men
@Nex:
Ouch. While How I Met Your Mother is the only one I would go out of my way to defend, at least Big Bang Theory has a terrific cast (honestly they're one of the best ensembles, right there with Community, Always Sunny, Parks and Rec, and HIMYM) and will pull out 5 pretty solidly hilarious episodes every season.
While the only CBS shows I actively love is Elementary and HIMYM, I do think the rampant hate for the network is getting a little out of hand.
I'm not going to even argue with you about Big Bang, because I'm sure you've heard about how terrible it is before from others who thinks he show is bad. And HIMYM is a Friends clone that has never made me actually laugh. It may have cause me to slightly chuckle, so I will give it that, but nothing that lasts more than .5 seconds.

RE: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
Where is there criticism ? And people who have not read the manga have probably seen his movies so I don't see why the order in which he made them matters.
It is because he likes Nausicaa and criticising other users' posts makes yourself look smarter. But I do agree with you. He has used many similar themes in his later movies that he to he'd upon in Nausicaa.
@Monkey:
Coming before all of them though kind of makes this a silly if stupid criticism.
Your criticism of his post is "silly if stupid"
-
RE: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
Goddamn is it really that good? I'm kind of scared to read it now, LOL.
Certain scenes can defiantly change your perception of life. I would defiantly read it, but it is not something you can just skim through.hell, it is something that I had to read over again.
-
RE: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
Absolutely loved this manga. It is a masterpiece that asks so many questions and twists so many views.
I could go on and on about what I love about this manga, but I did have some issues with it.
This was just too short. There could have been so much potential with some of the stories, but everything, but the main plot (anything with Nausicaa in it) seemed rushed or not touched. I'm not saying that Miyazaki should have continued the story after the conclusion, but it believe that this would have been better if had more content.I feel that characters such as Kushana, Kurotawa, the Valley of the wind people, and Forest people were too lightly touched upon. And especially Asbel, I found him and his initial story very interesting and hoped that the story would have went into more depth in their stories.
The fact that the only thing that I'm complaining about is that I didn't get enough, shows the level of this manga. But I suppose that this was Nausicaa's story, not the others.

RE: The "Shueisha" Thread
Do you guys recommend me picking up Rurouni Kenshin?
Yes.
Read the manga. Then watch the OVAs

RE: Favorite TV show
Ones that are currently airing:
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
WorkaholicsMaybe:
Adventure Time
Justified
Tosh.0
Ehhh…I guess Game of Thrones, but I thought that it has become very boring. -
RE: Two And A Half Men
I like the show's existence because when someone says they watch it, I know they have a delicate little comedy flower that I can ruin by showing them actual funny stuff, like say It's Always Sunny. They may feel alienated without the comfort of the mechanical laughtrack, though.
They'd be too busy paying attention to the Anger Management commercials and their coloring books to enjoy Its Always Sunny.
This show is the worst comedy on CBS. And I hate all of CBS' comedies.

RE: Vinland Saga
I thought the chapter served its purpose, but wasn't anything special.
In my opinion, the author must be planning some heavy chapters in the near future. These light ones were probably a nice psychological break for him.
-
RE: Untitled
As much as I hated Shira, I think he was probably the best character (again I don't like him). I loved how it ended too.
I'm also glad that Rin never became super powerful, but was weak until the very end.
And yes Makie was incredible.….Ah I forgot how great of a character Habaki was....
I'd say my favorites were Giichi, Makie, Mugen, and Ozuahan.

RE: Naruto and Bleach IV- Sexy time
If Kishi can't figure our how to kill Madara he can always use the whole 'time-travel' route. Of course he would make al, of the dates inconsistent. OR maybe a enormously powerful alien will come to the planet & kill Madara. Then Kishi could expand the Narutoverse to different planets and just recycle the same story as the war arc on a new planet, but instead of zombies as opponents, he could use green aliens, then the next planet it could be humanoid gophers as the enemies. Who know maybe these planets have Tail Beasts too. 11 tails. 12 tails. To infinity and beyond.
-
RE: Naruto and Bleach IV- Sexy time
Kishi said: 'im not sure if there will be a Naruto stage in jump festa next year".
So I guess Kishi is going to kill himself sometime in the near future….I mean it's the only choice he has.
-
RE: Untitled
I can't believe that this hasn't been discussed in over 8 years….
Well, I found this manga to be amazing. The fact that 90% of he characters were villains made me a little skeptical, but each character was unique and unlike one another. The most amazing thing is that this manga took 22 years to complete, and at no point did I feel like things were being dragged out. The art practically stayed the exact same throughout (spectacular BTW).
One of the best samurai manga out their. Up their with Vagabond and Lone Wolf.

RE: The "Shueisha" Thread

How many?
The series itself never finished due to Tezuka dying while still making it.
All 16 volumes….I think

RE: Gintama Discussion
I wonder what to so long for the gorilla to make a soul swapping arc. Very enjoyable, though I'm sure it was nearly impossible to translate.
