RE: (Fan) Letters to Eiichiro Oda
I realy doubt american SJ has any conection with Oda whatsoever.

RE: Fishman Island or Impel Down?
I don't find that very likely considering how it came to be common knowledge throughout the world thanks to the newspaper.
Nor do I think this goes in line with Luffy's personal philosophy. He already had that situation and still decided not to go.
If Oda wanted to have that information affect Luffy's decision I'm sure he would have done something else then have everyone (but Luffy) read about it in the paper first.And he wouldn't have had that vivrecard burning scene with Luffy. Perhaps whitebeard could have had it instead or something.
Technically they could but it would be something more appropriate/likely to happen in a fan fiction then in the actuall canon material imo.
Does he realise that Luffy ALWAYS has things go right past him?
Also,I know this was old,but again-when did he "had that situation "? Being in trouble can mean alot of things.Im sure Luffy was on the verge of death at least twice in Alabasta,though I think three is apropriate,then in EL and TB-yet he always got out-but heres,it seems necessary to concern oneself with the fact it doesnt look like its going to be so easy.Luffy wintessed that himself at Sabaody.

RE: Marineford?
Serious-Thats Mariejoa,the capital of the WG.
Marineford,the home of the HQ is where the battleships sail from to Enies Lobby. SO that automaticaly makes it being on top of the Red Line an impossibility.

RE: Which is ur favourite filler arc?
Dick is a respectable name-like Tracey.
But that Zorro episode just felt-were always on an island and sudenly were inlands somewheres and the feel is diferent as all hells.

RE: JUMP 40th Anniversary Project
Now,as this is slowly drawing to a close I have to say-im disapointed.
In the begining,I thought it would show other characters.Because we see the SH's all the time on color spreads, theese just take longer to get.
Basicly,yeah,it just feels like four normal colorspreads by now.
-
RE: Marineford?
Uh-were gonna find out when the time comes.
SO-whats the point of asking us something we can never possibly speculate on?
Or are you just asking where the town is ?

RE: 376: Kuma's Nikyu Nikyu Abilities That Deflect Everything
Stil,he said "Ursususa" ,or something like that.
-
RE: 376: Kuma's Nikyu Nikyu Abilities That Deflect Everything
Kinda good.MUch beter then last episode
BUT-too many reused Lola shots.
And the "images of all crew members" put in separately twice were agravating.
Also-WHY cant the guy even pronounce "Ursa"?What I heard was "Ursususa" shock.

Greg-what is so entertaining about the cover story?

RE: Chapter 521 "The Hoofs of the Heavenly Dragon" Discussion
You dont understand.
They was liberated YEARS after they was captured.The person asked if Nyon was Empress then.
And then I asked what happened to the Former Empress,thats all.
-
RE: Chapter 521 "The Hoofs of the Heavenly Dragon" Discussion
Well,it was stated she took them back home six years from then-so its possible.
SO what happened with the Former Empress?

RE: Chapter 521 "The Hoofs of the Heavenly Dragon" Discussion
Uhm,didnt we had two days stated when IT happened?

RE: What are you currently reading? (no graphic novels)
I know people who study the field for 30 years and are far beter to explain why that statement is not at all good,but-do you realy want a qualified answer?If so,ill just say this-
His writing is altogether diferent.He also focuses on humanity as very very useless ,in general and realy unimportant-and to tell you the truth, its kinda true,if you think about it.
Well,if you want a longer answer,consider my own will never be as good for anyone here and its two AM,im gonna post what you said to the person and am gonna PM you his response,how does that sound?Hes much beter at expo's then me and has less typos.
Also-poorly worded-id say its the exact oposite.I mean,I wouldnt know alot of words,hadnt I read him.You need to feel it-and if you cant by reading for some reason,then by hearing it read.
And also,he wasnt realy an SF writer,he wrote one SF story with some other guy and it wasnt even realy SF,it was about a maze.

RE: What are you currently reading? (no graphic novels)
Moria-why do you call him "bullshit writer"? That spot is reserved for Stephen Kings ideas.Dont consider anything after it, STAY THE FUCK AWAY from Derleth's "colaborations" (except two,maybe) and read it,give it a chance and dont just follow a "fad" when its "cool" to say "this guys bullshit".
Its much more diferent to horror and strange fictiona alltogether and fully worthy of praise.
What you probably dislike is a misconception,based on what Derleth did to make it suitable with his catholicism and dumbing it down to levels where it was widely sell-able for comercial purposes.The fool made up story elements on the spot,just cause he needed something to hang in a window.
Basicly,its the ORIGINAL which is worth consideration and enjoyment separately of any "sequels"-the only possible things from diferent writers that are similar are those of the period done by,say Robert E. Howard.Now,"The Black Stone" is the only such thing ive ever read of his so far, but it is fairly good.
Then thers Clark Ashton Smith-"The city of the singing flame" or,if youre in for a tale with a bit,a litle bit of lampooning of human arogane,try "The seelding of mars".Basicly,he is to be read piece per piece,because of his style,but hes styl ultimately good.A wonderfull,evocative short piece is "The Abominations of Yondo"-if youd wanna try him out, shortest good one I can imagine.
YOu can find his fiction online on eldritchdark-only,sometimes it has his "for money" SF and his atempts at "humour",avoid those at all costs.
Basicly,forget all this "Mythos" mumbo crap,and focus on what the man himself wrote,not what others re-organised,re- ordered and dumbed down to make money.COnsider that as a SEQUEL to a good original.Like Mulan to Mulan II.See the diference?Enjoy the tales separately, not as adjoining to some huge crapy "mythologia"-yes,there are good works done by contemporaries that were done with references to things in other stories to make up a beter "suspension of disbelief",but modern writers just dont do it-they FOLLOW what he wrote meticulously and fail.
Much like with Robert W. Chambers. Read his "The King in Yellow"-whatever you think it is,just read it,its something diferent.The first five stories,plus the prose poem colection is all youd need to,but if you REALY wanna get a feel, then just try
"The repairer of reputations".If you wanna be convinced,say so,ill post a quote-not more,because the power lies in the suspence.
Now,if youre for a diferent read,you could also like :
"Widdershins" by Oliver Onions.If you have an idea of what you imagine is a "ghost story",then reading this will have you dumbfolded."The Beckoning Fair One" was praised by so many people its beter to recomend another tale-"Phantas","Rooum" and "Benlial" form a perfect trio of weird,non-traditional tales that youll be dumbfolded about, quite fairly.
And if youre more into cruelty,theres always W.C.Morrow's "The ape,the idiot and other people".I did a review of the stories on Vault of Evil,but its again much beter to read this,whole and as a series.Yes,the first tale lags a bit-but its stil there and from then on,it gets up higher-the feeling just rises a feeling of impending doom,of sheer horrible NASTINESS,where you just KNOW something NASTY is gonna happen-REALY nasty.
I can send you a link via PM to gutenberg files and the like,if youd like.

MIB was good.MIB II was garbage.He didnt start anything real funny since Fresh Prince-EONS ago.

RE: Chapter 521 "The Hoofs of the Heavenly Dragon" Discussion
Yeah, that's why I didn't say "Coming up next" or anything, I said "at some point in the future" meaning we will EVENTUALLY go through FMI. Unless Oda throws us a real curve-ball and skips it altogether, what a sucker punch that would be. I'm not gonna pretend to know how it'll all play out though, I think we're all in the same boat here. And I liked Shabondy too, Sabaody seems really weird when I try to pronounce it, doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
When you pronounce it,its sounds KINDA silly,but Sabaody is just alien to me (using the word in the original sense,meaning "foreign").

RE: Which is ur favourite filler arc?
I liked that,need to add a plot summary to those.
But some work,some dont.Sanji's is the only one I KINDA dislike and Zorro's-well, it just felt OOC if ya know what I mean.

RE: Chapter 521 "The Hoofs of the Heavenly Dragon" Discussion
Basicly,I dont think the people on the island would care.But I have a feeling it would interest someone ELSE in comming there.She even states that she wont let anyone see it,and directly after that,without any sidetracking:"Im never gonna be controlled like that again."So theres a chance that if someone like Charloss,always acustomed to having his own way,would demand she be returned to him,THEY would just have to listen to him and try to capture her.
Because,well,it depends on the owner-if hes stil alive-people die and he could have even died during the Siege on Mariejoa.Also,this chapter is nice-I bet Tiger Fisher will play a major part as one of the high tiers of the past-though were not even sure when the Siege ocured,I believe,I mean,6 years after Hancock was 12,that isnt exactely helpfull,considering that
A:Women in OP get to remain the same way for a long time-case in point, Shakky.
B:Her DF could have a hand in altering/conserving her apearance,see Alvida
C:The other sisters dont realy look like we can estimate how old THEY apear.I also think Fisher King was introduced because we've got Fishman Island coming up at some point in the future and he's probably some sort of legend there, so hopefully we'll get more background on him. I don't think he's really still alive, but I guess you never can be too sure of anything with this manga. I sure do hope the SHs reunite soon.
Ad1:We thought that THRICE already:
*After Post E.Lobby
*After Thriller Barl
*During Sabaody (I kinda miss "Shabondy"-I actualy prefered that to the new one,even if its a real referenced word)So who nows how many years were gonna have to wait.Just like with Jimbei.
how about this.
If Hancock loses her title as shishibukai who could replace her?
I think Kidd or one of the other SN could be a nice choiceIf this gets discused by,say the Gorousei or Sengoku,as I hope it will, I hope to see some of the "bigger" names,not the rookies-ya know,the "lot of names to choose from" Moria was talking about-I doubt someone who values strength as much as he would ever consider a "rookie" as on the government could pick-or hed make a comment on it.
the quote is: for purposes of entreteinment they feed us with the Mero mero…
it got separated for being on 2 dialog baubles
you were thinking nasty things, bad very badActualy,even so I thinks his theory can hold water-the nobles COULD pit their slaves against each others,but they could also have one such be force fed a devil fruit and see what happens in the fight.
@Pirate_King_Sage:
Looks like Boa is lending Luffy HER ship which means she will most likely sail with him to wherever he wants to go. I am assuming he is going back to SA….why? I don't know since the other SH are probably not there anyway.
Methinks there a-goin' where the papers' pointin'.
I like the story going on here, but I can't help but feel that Hancock's change of heart was far too immediate. She kicks a kitten and throws an old lady out the window and suddenly we just forgive her because she used to be a slave? I don't buy it.
Look at Luffy and Garp-he threw his grandson into pits and jungles as a litle kid.He tried to kill him on orders (though I asume he didnt go anywhere near all out) ,but he stil smiled when they got away.Nyon is a Kuja warior,like she said herself and Hancock probably knows her too well-so when seeing how she bickered with her THIS chapter-it wasnt a "deathly confrontation" bickering,but more of a "piss her off" thing.So I think she just did that to keep up her act KNOWING that she would easily manage,just to piss her off-we were just SUPOSED to get that impression.But note,im not a Hancock fanboy,even when I say this.
Plus,peops,this is the first time we get a definite backstory of sorts for a Shichibukai-we only know Moria had hiss ass handed to him by Kaidou and thats it-be thankfull.
luffy's amazing to see a similarity between those 2 marks, the only thing similar was a circle.
That may be EXACTELY why he noticed it.It isnt "a mystery" (= completely and utterly obvious to everyone and their mother) you know.

uh-since their shooting the movie-I doubt it ISNT.
And-no,it looks nothing like an ape.

RE: Dragonball: Evolution (Live-Action Movie)
IT'S GOKU IN MONKEY FORM lulz hahaha. They fucked that up bad. That's not even a "interesting change bringing a new twist to a classic character" as kaboom would say.
My faith keeps dropping. Like Greg said, "PEOPLE HAD MEETINGS"Speaking of which-WHERE IS HE?HE is our only hope to keep a false faith in the movie till the moment it comes out.

RE: Which is ur favourite filler arc?
Next would be Icehunter. It was decent, but started to suffer from poor characterization half-way through. The Phoenix Pirates were wasted as characters, Puzzle was a let down, and Jiro has to be the most annoying filler kid yet. I did like Blend and Capuccino's fighting style, that was fun to watch. Though, sadly, at the end of the day, the only villians I felt anything for were the Don, because he had an awesome fight, and his final speech was very Oda-ish, and Lil, because everything she did was because she only wanted someone to play with.
I love the arc,but there were a few problems-
1-dont you think it was anoying when Brindo was all-atalk about how "captured pirates smile while being given over to marines in Lovely Land", they ignored it completely later?
2-there were too many Phoenix pirates-some were so useless that I wasnt even able to find an independent screen on them.
3-they had all those guys in swimming rings as soldiers ,right?So,where were they later,when the strawhats were lost in their house?We saw ONE guy,that was it.Having fighting fodder would be beter then just going into rooms.
4-They were INCONSISTENT about the Don's DF.
- At first,Zoro was able to slash THROUGH him,hit and damage the wall behind him,while he wasnt hit
- THEN when Luffy tried to punch him,he heated up a part of his body and there was no impact-when Luffy was pumeling his front,he didnt even budge.
- THEN he could take hits -I didnt see when Gear Second was somehow PHYSICALY diferent then a normal punch,aside from speed and strength.
- and THEN,at 10 000 degrees,hes punch away by Luffy,WHILE rushing at him,and Luffy wasnt even hurt.
MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MINDS!I think they just ran out of time-they even anounced the arc to be longer initialy.
5. Lilo doesnt even get to speek with her father,even after the whole skit.
Aside from that,I didnt see anything even remotely 100 000 000-worth in Puzzle's whipping with a chain.He was even prety mediocre at THAT even.
And one more thing-they had a whole "flashback" about the Phoenix Pirates defeat,and it was all silent-it just looked like they were to return to it.
Then there was the fact they gave the Don litle to no screentime before his fight-and then they said his name in the whole arc,I think TWICE-some sites that were re-caping it didnt even know what the characters were called.
Yeah commander Johnathan really was an intresting opponent, Always so laidback and easy going, and yet he outwitted them at every turn. Also found the fact that he was named as Akainus protege, wonder if they got that from Oda? Im not really clear on whether or not he gets any input in the anime at all.
No,they just put up a random admiral name out of their asses-he acts the exact oposite of Akainu.
