What's the longest you've gone without watching anime?








I wanted to talk about catching up on SpyXFamily but the topic was filled so here you go, for better and for worse.

Anyway, SpyXFamily anime caught up

I don't think I like Yuri as a character himself, the whole sister infatuation annoys me, but I like everyone's reactions to Yuri and his place in the series.

Anya still a GOAT as usual

We seem to be entering post-Wano now. Feels unreal to actually be here. So many different ways stuff could go now and interesting cut aways that could happen.

Yuri is a dork, but the allure of everyone having their own place in the "spy trade" and Anya just being "best girl, keep going best girl" is just so good.

I sometimes miss a day simply because of work or streaming commitments. However, good shows tend to get me going daily. If I know I'm not feeling a show, I'll let it stew 2-3 days even before getting back to it...which is a sign I probably don't like it all that much.

Chapter 1051 STRAW HAT CREW IS COMPLETE?!
One Piece fans with single digit braincells

"But but she's too strong, there's no way someone that strong should join the crew."
"The raid will fail! It's too soon! There's no way Luffy should be this strong!"

Yes it's too soon for the future Pirate King to beat an endgame level opponent in a manga that's been ongoing for 20 years. His crew should consist of fighters on Nami and Chopper's level for the final stretch.

Furries

"Carrot has a higher chance of joining. She's more interesting than Yamato"

Of course Carrot has a higher chancing of joining. She has a total of 1 page of panels in the past 4 years! There's no way the newly introduced character, in their own introduction begging Luffy to join the SH crew, will actually join. No way.

I mean it's like 70 chapters longer than it should have been at LEAST so I couldn't care less.

Just want it over with lol. I may have gotten back into OP but I still don't dig Wano. Let's take our rad final crew member and get the hell out of this place.

i mean he's officially structured wano as a kabuki theatre play which from what i've read generally have 5 acts. presumably there will be some kind of resolution to the arc in acts 4 and 5 which presumably are forthcoming shortly. the big fight is likely to be over but i wouldn't say the arc is

The Ha, or acts 2-4, sped up the action leading to a great dramatic moment or tragedy in act 3, with battles being common in acts 2 or 4

And it just doesn't make sense to have two different acts of resolution. What would define them from each other?

Like if anything act 3 should have been the backstory, and everything since is act 4.

Honestly it just feels like the raid should have been act 4 but Oda forgot to do the transition.

Between that and the "Roger didn't have a devil fruit" line it seems like Oda just enjoys abruptly crushing theories these days.

Didn't have much time for anime this weekend, but I rewatched the first season of Umamusume: Pretty Derby. I ranked it a 5/10 when it was airing, so not exactly a favorite. Still, it has a second season I've never seen so I figured I should rewatch S1 first. Good thing too, because I enjoyed it more as a binge than I did when it was airing. There are dozens of different horse girls with little quirks and relationships. Watching it over two days really helped with keeping them all straight.

It's such a goofy premise, horse girls who mirror real world horse racing history and then the winners do idol shows for some reason. Still, the ability to have such goofy premises and treat them relatively seriously is one of my favorite things about anime. Lots of the characters are fun too, if not especially deep. I like Special Week. I wonder what the second season will do with her because, as far as I understand, the first season covered the real horse's whole career. Maybe it'll follow her retirement as a stud (or whatever the female equivalent is).

do NOT open these spoiler tags unless you want to know what happens in the next chapter (1052) because it leaked.

you are correct. Admiral green bull is on the way. But Zunesha apparently leaves because Wanos borders are still closed for now.

@GANON1025 it looks like One Piece is heading towards the final stretch. Manga going on a one month break at the end of June and returning for the 25th anniversary in late July. Now would be a great time to catch up and read weekly with us. I legit think the manga ends in 5 years.

I don't think either of them are dead. My predix is that Kaido wakes up and decides to join the Luffy fanboy club, commander of dozen ships for the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. O-Lin will be Otama's grandmother.

So post time skip the sagas are listed as follows

Fishman Island Saga
Dressrosa Saga
Four Emperors Saga

But I always just kind of considered punk hazard and dressosa as part of the build-up to wano and not its own separate saga

I see some people thinking we may be getting another time skip because that's what happened the last time oda took a month off

Although this time they're thinking hiyori is the inheritor of the time traveling fruit and will send the straw hats forward into the future for some reason or another, maybe to escape the buster call? Actually that would be wild on its own if the last chapter before the break is Wano getting annihilated by a Buster call after everything that's happened.

I don't buy it. The narrator in 1051 says Momo goes on to become one of Wano's greatest ever Shoguns. Would be insane for his leadership to get tested immediately by a Buster Call and it seems pretty unrealistic for Wano as a country to even survive a Buster Call in this state. And of the very little we know re: Green Bull he doesn't seem like someone who would instantly start with a buster call. He's on friendly terms with Fujitora and already disobeyed Akainu once.

Second season of Umamusume was pretty good! It switched focus to Teio and McQueen, who aren't as good as Special Week and Suzuka, but they're fine. It was also odd having Special Week hanging around for three years without ever racing because they already did all her historical races, but I guess that's hard to avoid. The themes about dreams and rivalry were all really good. I think I liked S2 a bit more than S1. Twin Turbo and Rice Shower were great new side characters too.

I don't even know where to begin with how bizarre of ending this is for an arc that was this long.

Guess I'll have to wait to see what the "ending" really means, it could take a while. Like I can't even get excited for the endgame of one piece if the man builds up 400 chapters for a conclusion to a saga like this. Is BB gonna get a backstory? Will the fight even be long or is it gonna be a quick 3 chapter clash boom power up good bye. I look forward to the lore drops but I don't care as much if the actual meat is undercooked.

But arc not over I'm not gonna dwell on it. The act structure is also badly throwing me off.

This is such a weird thing to get hung up on. Wano took 4 years. The bad guy got just as much backstory as any before him. Did Crocodile/Rob Lucci/Moria get a 20 chapter sob backstory? Why does everyone have to have these huge backstories? Kaido already got a bunch of flashbacks involving Wano. Why does there have to be 5 acts to this raid?

Blackbeard probably getting as much backstory as Kaido, and he's probably not the final bad guy either. Prepare to be disappointed I guess, but Whitebeard already told us he wasn't the person Roger was waiting for way back in Marineford.
