Up to volume ei-…ei-...eighteeeeen. BWAAAHH! T____T ACCCCEEEE!!!
That about sums up my reaction to the whole damn volume, despite him only being there for less than 1/5 of the book.

But, in all seriousness, it's just their opinion. The recent arc in general has had quite a few disappointments. It's the most epic thing to date and the anime's trying to drag it out so that they don't overtake the manga.
Ah, we double posted the same thing XD
Can you redo yours?
Eh, what the hey

4 weeks? Psh, who needs sleep. I'll do it in 2.
Up to volume 12 right now. I just recently bought out the One Piece section in my local Borders XD I'm broke, but I've got volumes 1-50 now.
What really hits me is the art difference. Yes, I know I should be focusing on story, but really. Oda's artwork now and then is just so….well, it's not that different, but the feel, chaos, and business is just miles apart. I like his current art style though, so no complaints there.
Oh fuck, I love you guys <3
That interview was awesome. I didn't think you'd actually get some of the Funi voice actors worked in. Greg is….greg. <3
This is certainly something….well, quite frankly I can't find the words for it. I've never thought that Oda would have this sort of past. But, knowing this, I think One Piece becomes even more enjoyable to me.
I've always joked with my friends that, if I were to die right now, my biggest regret would be that I wouldn't get to finish reading One Piece. But there's some truth to that. Out of all the manga I've ever read, One Piece has always managed to grasp my attention and enjoyment much more firmly. But to know that this manga, which has always been filled with warmth and hope despite the absolutely tearjerking parts, had this sort of background... half of me is the way I always am. I don't believe anyone has an excuse to kill another but if they do, if they try to change, people shouldn't try to stop that. Yet, to look at One Piece now and know all this...it makes all the sorrow and hope seem that much more poignant. I can't help but see piece of Oda's past, and I wonder if I see pieces of Oda's hopes as well. "I don't care about the past!" huh...?
However, it's also true that some of the most beautiful works in the world have come from people's first hand experience of suffering. It's said that by being hurt, you being to understand other people's pain as well and that allows you to be kind.
I don't know. I'm just ranting now. This whole thing is rather disorienting XD I had the honor of attending Jump Fiesta. I was in the very back, so I didn't get a good look, but I was there when Oda and voice actors all came out to perform, and everyone shouted out "Odacchi, itsumo arigatou!". I didn't see any tears, but he was clearly shaken up. It takes on a whole different meaning now.
....Alright! I'm going to write Oda a letter! XD I definitely won't mention anything like this, but I suddenly just want to right a letter to him telling him how wonderful One Piece is. Doesn't that sound childish? XP Hey, does anyone have any comments I can put in for them? Somehow, it feels more complete if it contains the feelings of a lot of different people, from different places that are all connected through One Piece. Hm, but I don't know his address >_<. I'm sure it's somewhere though.
EDIT: I've been thinking, and while it's certainly a good idea if more people on AP knew about this thread, I don't think posting it outside of here is a good idea. Japanese IP addresses might be blocked here, but that's not the case in other places. It's a good way to get in trouble and traced back.
Awww, no one but me like Coby? T_T Oh well…

I think I must have a masochistic side or something. For some reason, even though I end up crying each time, I always gravitate towards Merry's death. "Farewell on the Sea of Snow". The fact that they're using the freaking ending song just makes it all the worse. But it's still so touching.
And then, to cheer me up, I watch when Coby and Helmeppo finally meet with Luffy again. XD It always brings a smile to my face to see that awkward little cabin boy grown up.
You are amazing <3
Although, as a girl, it kinda bothers me. XD I wonder what Oda's reaction would be if I wrote him a letter. I tend to rant and rave about the same thing boys do though…so I wonder what his reaction would be >_>
Well, I don't watch the anime for Bleach or Naruto, so I can't argue with you guys there (although are we even supposed to be arguing those here?) but I will say that the anime for OP right now has it's ups and downs. Everyone's already complained about the still shots and such, but in comparison to episode 462 (which KILLED the mood for the beginning of the most badass war in One Piece history >_>) I'll forgive a lot of things.
For one, at least the fight scenes are a bit better. There's not as much standing around staring going "ooo" and "aaa". Plus, Little Oars Jr.'s fall really hit hard. His vision blurring and the flashbacks (although even then I can still think of some things that could have been done better) BUT, I will say this. The choice of music was brutal. T__T Anyone know the name of the piece that was playing at the very end of the episode as he reaches out to Ace? It was really heartrending.

<33 I ordered my copy but it's not here yet so I have to wait, but I can't wait until I see everything in HD.
By the way, I considered reading through 236 pages (but I didn't), so did anyone ever end up posting a scan of the artbook? Cause I scanned the interview at the end and was hoping one of the translators might miraculously come in and help out (>_>). I don't know for sure if I can post it here or start a new thread in General.
Funi doesn't actually get to dub the movies right off the bat just because they have license for the series. I'm pretty sure permission for movie releases (and dubbing for that fact) is separate from TV contracts. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not 100% sure.
I don't have Funi's channel (T_______________T) unfortunately, though I've been trying to get it, but I think someone mentioned that OP isn't on there either. So I'd recommend that first.

How would this at all be a cooperative effort? We only know each other via internet.
I'm not going to go running yelling ONE PIECE F*** YEAHHH
I went outside and did just that after I read your post. XD Thank you for the idea. My neighborhood now thinks I'm insane. Hehe <3
I'm in. I just have yoga and step aerobics every Tuesday and Wednesday, but I've put in morning jogs as well so I won't let the Straw Hat crew down.
