Okay wow, I JUST saw that I was the one that started this thread waaay back when. I can't tell you the last time I did that.

Anyways I did get autobuild, and have just been strolling around doing whatever tickles my fancy. Got 11? whole hearts and 1.5 stamina wheels, i think 60 shrines completed in total. It's really hard to put the game down lol, every day I'm doing something.

Just completed the Mattison side quest.....sublime.

@Deicide Ahhhh, this is ringing bells now. I do think it was clever to basicially "disguise" the power level-y concept as something much more vague/having a regular word. I don't know how far he had planned it at that point, or rather, when did he get the idea for black limbs exactly.

But you know, be it Zoro cutting down Mr. 1 or Luffy figuring out Mr. 3's clones....it's one of those instances that could kinda be retrofitted for it, or even more explicitly retroactive, Skypiea and Mantra.

One of those things that you just lose when translating, unfortunately.

@access-timeco said in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part II: Do the Dio Walk!:

Joseph already appeared at the end of Jojolion and Araki recently said the next JoJo will be his descendant - so not him, sadly.

I'm kinda confused by this (not a manga reader and only know up to stone ocean). Like, THE Joseph or whatever the new universe Joseph's equivalent is?

I would like a second female jojo (specially since a non-Irene Jolyne would throw chaos into the fanbase), but really my biggest concern is that the JoJo goes by a nickname that can differentiate them like Johnny, so we don’t have another Josuke/Josuke scenario.

also this. Josuke (4!!!) is my favorite JoJo and it's a bummer being stuck in the shadow of the shinier, newer protag with the same name. Like Johnny vs Jonathan was at least a clever workaround.

@Shiebs Haven't played S/V yet but I knew I was going to miss anything traditional after Arceus. It was my Pokemon fix after skipping Gen 8, and even if it wasn't perfect, it still had a lot of great ideas that I hope Gamefreak refines in the future.

I'm glad at least S/V takes open world cues but I wish instead Arceus just had more time in the oven to be "the" Pokemon game of this year.

@Hades Interesting, thanks for posting.

Oda: I shifted Chopper’s role to a mascot character after hearing his voice in the TV Anime, even when I had a policy of not drawing mascot characters, but Ootani Ikue’s voice was too cute haha.

you mean to tell me we might've had a not totally chibified chopper if he was voiced by someone else??

@King-Cannon said in Bleach Discussion █: Soul Society, but not!

Re-reading the arc, I legit think Tsukishima is an awesome villain. I have a blast every time I see Ichigo losing his shit at his family going "you're the crazy one!" because of Shuu-chan. It's an actual personal conflict Aizen couldn't hope to have.

The rest are definitely lame however. Giriko (clock guy) has a cool power though, but like many things in Bleach, it's wasted potential.

I remember appreciating the horror "Ichigo's family and friends are brainwashed" element, it was at least an interesting angle?

Giriko lmao, I thought by the sound of his powers he'd trap Kenpachi like Tousen did. The problem with the fights is really i think they can't all just one-shot their opponents, so some don't, but then the rest kinda just....drag.

If you took them away and had Ichigo/Chad/Orihime/Uryu team up to beat them, I think it would've ended the arc on a high note for me.

@Shiebs BOTW2, Isshin remake, and Engage (I picked that one up and it's great)

but my backlog is still huge haha

@sandman said in Oda's Interviews:

After Naruto ended, Kishimoto told Oda that he can now take a walk with his kid on a sunny day whenever he wanted. Oda was so depressed to hear that but he was motivated at the same time to draw OP for the future where he can take a walk anytime.(2018)

This is pretty depressing.
I hope when Oda does pen that final chapter....finishes the drawings....he takes that walk. Writing/drawing a manga series for so long, let alone 25 years, just drains a lot of life out of you.

probably too "weird" to do but I wonder if someone will have their iconic laugh

@MugiMikey said in Funimation DVD Discussion IV (Please Check First Post for FAQ):

Just wanted to say that today (technically yesterday) is the 16th anniversary of the Funimation/Crunchyroll dub's debut on Cartoon Network, which was September 29, 2007. I can't believe it's been that long.

The many months leading up to its airing, along with its premiere, is something I'll never forget.

holy cow

I wasn't on the forums nor really involved with the fanbase at the time BUT I distinctly remember watching and thinking "why do they sound like DBZ characters now" haha

I am VERY bad at F-Zero 99 but boy is it fun.

Well Luffy did the Cero Doble prediction I did....halfway? He recoiled instead of spitting the light at Kizaru lol. I do at least appreciate how completely nonplussed Kizaru is by all of this.

honestly would be so sick to have her in the show, i'd take the ugliest looking chopper for her

if true that's like (considering the break schedule) 40 or less chapters left. Unreal lmao.

@Hattori said in Season 1 General Discussion:

How the hell did Kuro expect to get away with anything past the next morning.

Another point I've been thinking of recently - in the original Kaya and the village rested on this out of the way island, with nothing really to offer a traveler.

But in the live action her estate runs a shipyard, we see plenty of workers, so logically wouldn't the island gain more notoriety and buzz? Harder for Kuro to pull things off in the same way, which might be conjuncture on my part, but it's been in my head for a bit.

so many breaks we won't hit 1100 before the year ends /s

After seeing Kuma being a practically mute broken down machine, a shell of the man he used to be for so long, people like Sabo and Bonney outraged at his condition....I'd want the Kuma flashback to be thorough and not be in a chapter cut up with other stuff.

There's so much about him only shown off in bits and pieces and while that was good to generate mystery and speculation, he's right in the story's focus now.

@electricmastro I meant it more in a "cathartic for the audience" kinda way, since this arc has numerous parallels to Sabaody. If he's doing it just to make sure Vegapunk doesn't die that's fine with me.
