(+) Yeah! (+)

Interesting developments on the OP front.

I smell the New World arcs to be less isolated than the rest of the series.

Actually there's quite a few other characters not revived (Danzo, previous kages, serveral Akatsuki members etc.) but there's quite a lot revived as well! Gotta seal them away. Could take a while. We got Sai's brother and Sasori down already though.

This is amazing stuff.

Sounds like ctes has passed where I quit reading Naruto. He caught up faster than I thought he would.

Really? I personally don't think I've been too fast with this one. I mostly read when I'm laying in bed until I get tired, or when I'm waiting for someone/bored in a place with internet, but where you can't really allow yourself to watch anime.

I watched One Piece and YGO: DM + read the OP manga in about six months last year though!

Maybe i mixed up where you were in the anime with the manga. It feels like a week ago you were back before the Sound 5 stuff though.

--

I'm not there in in the anime yet, and it has been quite some time since I was there in the manga, though I have been going faster through part 2 than part 1. Time goes by fast I suppose.

New Medaka Box!

"If you don't like my clothes I'll just go naked!" Please do that Medaka! Please!

Seriously though, Medaka can't change clothes, what am I supposed to stare at then? Lol, not telling that she could break the handcuffs. Some enemies introduced after the end!

It's a shame this is soon ending though. Gotta be the shortest WSJ adaption.

There have been a few other 12 episode WSJ adaptations, but most or maybe even all of those also got a couple OVAs.

I'm buying the collections with 25 episodes on them. More for the money.

You in on watching the dub as well, right Shine?

You can find those 25 minutes somewhere. One less Lupin a week, problem solved! It is One Piece after all and more specifically Water 7 which takes OP to a whole new amazing level, that I didn't think was possible.

Granted though as much time as it will take from us listening to that all the time, it might be troublesome. Sadly the first episode will still be Bon Voyage.

Probably a translation issue.

Naruto is talking more about doing what you want, while Itachi is speaking out against living a lie.

Cynically, it also means "fight destiny!" when destiny is bad, and "accept your destiny" when destiny is good.

Isn't that from Naruto vs. Neji? Neji kept talking about accepting your destiny, and Naruto said you can make your own.

Now now Shine, it's not like one extra OP means no Lupin. You should watch lots of Lupin and 2 episodes of OP a week!

The preview of the next Toriko episode doesn't look too familiar to me. I wonder if it's filler or something that happens on the way to Zebra and I forgot about it.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

Little Garden reread. I still think Dorry and Brogy's story was stupid, but eh. I still chuckle at Usopp's lie turning out to be true. Come on Sniper Island... Still, I wonder what this... hold on...

*checks english translation*

Great serpent soaked in blood is. Anyway, onwards to one of my favorite backstories for the strawhats!

--
My Little Phineas and Ferb: Summer is Magic!
Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

Dorry and Brogy are goddamn hillarious. Also Carue is especially cool that arc, and we can't forget Zoro posing.

Ranked Straw Hat backstories from best to worst:
Luffy
Robin
Franky
Chopper
Nami
Brook
Sanji
Zoro
Usopp

Should be noted that they're all fantastic with the only exception being Usopps.

Also from best to worst:
Shanks/Ace/Sabo
Jaguar D. Saul
Zeff
Tom
Hiluluk
Kuina
Yorki
Bell-mere
Usopp's Mom

--

Oh, that reminds me of that "Carue ate Miss Goldenweek" joke theory. Heh. But yeah, love the duck.

Kuina above Bellemere? Ehh. But yeah, Usopp's is dead last. Where would you rank Luffy's original origin?

--
Aww, I lost to SuperNiceDog, Winner of the Rivalry Rumble Guru Contest

Naruto is the biggest hypocrite in the show. He's the reincarnation of the Sage and he has the greatest of all destinies. So much for genius of hardwork.

Wrost part is that some people seemed to really believe that theory.

Kuina/Yorki/Bell-mere could have gone either way really. Thinking about it now, I agree Bellmere should switch with Kuina, but I didn't think that earlier. Again all these characters are awesome except for Usopp stuff.

I think Luffy's original origin would be on top. It was great, plus it's that incredible moment that started it all and Shanks really is amazing. At least he's a lock in first on the characters ranking.

To get some other flashbacks in on that. I'd put the Skypiea flashback pretty high, that was a great way to lead up to the battle and it had really great morals and what not. Probably right below Robin's flashback. Jinbe flashback (might as well call it that already) goes between Sanji and Zoro I think.

Also had it not been for the anime doing an amazing job with the Luffy/Ace/Sabo flashback it would be a bit lower, though Shanks would still keep it at first.

With Toonami's return, I have this urge to watch everything that is airing there, even series that has aired on AS that night for quite some time. As for shounen that would be Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal: Alchemist. I'm still having a few doubts about Bleach, I think I might wait with that until the summer.

Page 10, the Sabretooth guy with the hat.

Crazy chapter, looks like the non-fighting events for the last two days will have a bunch of the weaker members after a bunch of the stronger ones got wasted here.

Drum Kingdom reread. Oh man I loved Hiluluk and Chopper's backstory. Love Wapol's reaction every time his plans failed. Shame he came back later on though... but at least he'll leave his old kingdom behind.

--

Chopper's bacstory is really amazing though. The whole eating Chopper thing is hillarious.

Nope, but it would be cool if they showed us what happened to them. Gin was a cool guy, and he did say he hoped to meet Luffy in the Grand Line.

IIRC, the anime showed Kuro being fine and dandy shortly after Luffy got his first bounty. But really, dude just wants to retire in peace, so the odds of him returning are low.

Then again, revenge and all that.

--

predictable that Erza would pick all 100, but still awesome nonetheless


looks like a fight that the anime could expand upon.
