I've read until they reached Skypeia. They just got charged with a bunch of crimes. Mostly enjoying it.
Alabasta was pretty good. I got a kick out of reading about Zoro turning down B.W. previously which was shown in the live action. Zoro beating all those guys at Whiskey Peak was cool. I hope in the LA they do that justice. I'm imagining a big, Daredevil-style one-take sequence for at least some of it. Watched a couple of anime episodes but I generally don't have the patience for it. Especially when I know it's going to be done in a medium I enjoy more in a year or two. That said, I like the vocal performances and some of the comedy (the scene where Robin joins the crew and ingratiates herself with each of them in turn is very well-realised and funny in the anime). --- Not to be confused with XIII_Minerals. ...

Spoiler providers have issued a warning that this week's chapter is huge. Tomorrow would be a good time to get off the internet if you want to avoid spoilers.

Eh, they do that a lot.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I think every chapter is always huge nowadays so maybe it doesn't apply to me as I always read the spoilers ASAP, but I feel like people who read spoilers, are gonna read them regardless, and the ones that don't aren't going to. I've been reading spoilers since forever. Some of my fondest memories were when the spoilers were dropped for all of the big 3 back in the day. --- https://m.twitch.tv/sorozone/profile ...

This arc has been ridiculously good imo. But I agree spoiler providers overhype individual chapters. The reason for the hype is often a plot hint that doesn't get fully explained, or some top tier character appearing on a single page and saying a one liner. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also Zoro got sidelined for a huge part of it, and that was a shame He got two fights! I think Skypiea is fascinating for a variety of reasons. I think its biggest weakness honestly is that its by far the most egregious and annoying sidelining of Luffy the story ever does. It's a fun gag at first and then it keeps going...and going...and going... And while I do like pretty much everything in it, it probably does go on for a bit too long. Pretty much every part of it could probably have been trimmed down just a little bit at least. Finally completed the live-action. I can't fault it too much, because it accomplished what it (I think) set out to do; draw more people to the franchise. It is the worst way to experience the story though, in my opinion. I understand they had to make cuts, but it's a shame so much of the nuance and the storytelling got lost because of it, especially in the villains. All the East Blue villains are reversals of one part of Luffy's idea of a pirate, and that really doesn't come out enough, and it feels they could've structured the stories better to showcase that (even though the cutting of Don Krieg would've always made this a little bit difficult). There's also an unfortunate case of tell don't show in Arlong's part; he believes in fishman superiority because of their physical superiority; breathing underwater, being able to swim much faster and better and, in Arlong's case, having the saw-nose and the teeth-as-weapon. I can imagine these things being cut for budget reasons, but it's still a bit of a shame. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ... Copied to Clipboard!

RyoCaliente 10/29/23 7:43:26 PM #273: |
Vehemently disagree. The LA really doesn't do justice to the stories of Usopp and Sanji and what pushes them to follow Luffy and what Luffy sees in them. It doesn't show what being a pirate means to Luffy by contrasting his idea of that vs the villains (and in doing so sells short some other characters like Koby, Zoro, and Nami).
It's an entertaining time, sure, but if the LA continues like it did in East Blue, it will not have the impact on people that the manga and the anime have had. People loooove shitting on the anime but for the majority of people who're into One Piece, it's that form of media that got them into it. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ...

Maniac64 10/29/23 7:50:08 PM #274: |
Yeah but on the other hand the Live Action toned down all of Sanji's worst traits making him far more likeable.
My sister watched the show without any prior knowledge and Sanji is her favorite character. Which is the main thing stopping me from recommending she try the anime because I know she will not like him as much in that. --- "Hope is allowed to be stupid, unwise, and naive." ~Sir Chris ...

I legit couldn't tell if the rough quality of most of this chapter was all an intentional aesthetic choice, or if the chapter wasn't finished in time.
I feel like it's the former, but there were a couple of panels that seems like they were just oddly rough in a way that wasn't on purpose. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Post Ennis Lobby is when the One Piece anime starts to degrade quite a bit. I would recommend sticking with the manga until Wano.
Personally I still can't deal with it even in Wano because the pacing is still awful, sometimes less than 1 chapter an episode for the worst of it, but at least the quality jumps quite a bit on average. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Enies Lobby is where the pacing starts to fall off in the anime, yeah. Probably a good time to move to the manga. Though the next arc has a certain song that absolutely needs to be listened to, so maybe watch the anime for it too.
